Shout out to Steve Ballmer for being a wacky cartoon character come to life.

Why is that so hard to believe? Bulls are far from perfect, they beat the Knicks. It'll be a close game.They aren't beating the Bulls
You realize how fucking hard this bulls team has played the Heat the last 4 years? LeSlim (probably get locked up by Hinrich) and his flawed team gonna get stomped.
ma boy steve baller
The Cleveland fans should stop comparing the Cavs to the 10-11 Heat. Instead they should compare them to the 12-13 Lakers, a team that on paper had the potential to dominate the league, but imploded from the inside due to injuries, and bruised egos. These aren't friends getting together to win a title. This is LeBron coming home with hitchhikers that he's never met before trying to prove that he's a good man by bringing home the weird looking dude from Minnesota, and the creepy guy that likes to wear the flesh of old people.

Well, clearly LeBron needs more help
Wow! It's really like the last 4 years didn't happen. Ha! What do you want, perspective? This media love in ends the moment there's a kink in the armor.
This is the build up to the tear down. Cleveland hasn't seen anything yet. The inundation of ads is going to get old quick, and the backlash will be hilarious. Irrational, instant overreactions come with the territory. I'm glad we have a good team without all the nonsense. At least we had legit title aspirations to go along with the circus. PEACE.

The Cavs are just making their inevitable 80 win season all that much harder on themselves with the loss yesterday and the one that'll happen today. It's ok, though, because we all know they've got this.
Jeez. If they turn out to be healthy and Lamb, PJ3 and Jackson can hold the fort down and show that they got skills... watch out.
Hopefully they get the 8th seed so they can knock out Spurs/Clips

Yahoo Sources: The Utah Jazz's Alec Burks has reached agreement on a four-year, $42 million extension. http://yhoo.it/1G2qZA6

With reachable incentives, Alec Burks' deal with the Jazz could climb to $45 million, sources told Yahoo Sports.
...is Alec Burks worth $45m? Not knowing anything, I wouldn't have expected him to be within $3-6m of Kemba.

That's a great contract for the Jazz, Burks has shown serious improvement of late.
Interesting. Lowe seems to think both Kemba and Burks were overpaid:
Zach Lowe ‏@ZachLowe_NBA 34m34 minutes ago
Feel like we have to hold off evaluating these extensions till we know cap mechanics. But Kemba/Burks deals strike me as...a lot.
Zach Lowe ‏@ZachLowe_NBA 33m33 minutes ago
But extensions usually feel that way. Paying for upside. Neither has done quite enough to feel indispensable at that $, but both will grow.
Zach Lowe ‏@ZachLowe_NBA 32m32 minutes ago
Kemba may never be a top-15 PG. Burks has been a perfectly fine, average wing on both ends. Gotta see how cap goes, how they evolve.
haha god I do love watching this dude just go nuts..very entertaining
oh and ya'all see this one? The pregame speech by Lebron...
http://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/lebron-james-delivers-incredibly-douchey-pre-game-speech/
hahaha
Dont take this moment for granted. This is going to be one of the this is one of the biggest sporting spectacles in the history of sports. And were a part of it. And it has a lot to do with me. I understand that. But I wouldnt want to do it with no other guys besides yall.
Westbrook is 4-6 weeks too? Could of swore i saw 8-12. Also, i would be scared to be a top seed come playoffs time if the Thunder can hold the fort.
As a wolves fan I am so happy with the overall vibe and attitude of the new squad. KLove was a cancer to this organization... I have no doubt he will do fine in cleveland but I would say watch out if for some reason things do not go well..
Spurs are paying Kawhi, he's too good. What I'm really interested in is seeing if they'll trust Splitter a lot more on the offensive end. I haven't watched them outside of the opener so I don't know if he'll have progressed from last season when he gets back.
OKC will need to be better than at least the Grizz, Suns and Pelicans if they want that 6th seed. Mavs should just worry about themselves and that defense (super scared and intrigued about Brow tomorrow).I can already feel it. Dallas is going to have a great season where they get the 3th seed, only to have to face a healthy 6th seed Thunder team in the first round since their record will take a hit

People keep talking about all these teams that got it together and won but never talk about all the teams that were good for your NBA 2k squad but could never get it together in the real world.
Who will the Cavs be?

They'll get it together
In his defense, he was kind of a whipping boy in the beginning.

When shit gets rocky in Cleveland, that clown show front office isn't going to have Blatt's back the way Riley has Spo's. Blatt will be the first to go and GM LeBron will pick his own coach.
the nba time for coach k is coming soon.

Yeah, won on WAS vs ORL yesterday too, 4-0 on the NBA so far, good start...ever since I got to Vegas I've been solid, would've won on the NO/CAR game but I didn't bet it since I'm not so confident in NFL picks

After losing thousands betting on the Heat winning every single game he's finally come to his senses and actually been right about something.

You got any tips for this weekend's NBA schedule? I can't bet the amounts you do, but I wouldn't mind making a little side change. PEACE.
