Beginning of the year I thought the East was the Knicks to lose. Was looking like I was a fool for thinking that (may still be) but they are rounding into form slowly but surely

Also, with the caveats about OKC’s start to the season being a byproduct of having the easiest schedule… people conveniently leave out the next 3 teams at the bottom of strength of schedule:
  • DEN (2nd easiest)
  • LAL (3rd)
  • MIN (4th)
By winning the NBA Cup matchups you actually end up facing tougher teams earlier than the schedule would’ve dictated i.e. we would’ve got an early DEN/OKC matchup this week if DEN had won their bracket.

After listening to LeBron talk to Nash about his Prime years I just had to reminisce on Prime LeBron and my goodness he was a man amongst boys in his prime


My favorite Bron years. Game wasn't as refined as post-decision Bron, but him basically just hooping off great basketball instincts and alien athleticism was absolutely amazing to watch. Every night he was just doing shyt nobody had any business doing:wow:
