That shit was amazing. Vince Carter and the Mavs thought they had it in the bag but KD was like "NOPE, JUST CHUCK TESTA"

Durant's a beast!

It's funny the Mavs lose some players from last year and they are 0-3

The players Dallas lost were key to their championship run and they players they have replaced them with won't help much so I don't think they will have a good year unless they pull of a miracle producing trade. I'm glad that's one less team the Lakers need to worry about.

Not to worry Mav's fans. Dallas plays Toronto tonight so you're pretty much guaranteed your first win of the year.

D'Antoni's out after this season...at this rate, it might be during the season.

His Seven seconds or less offense ain't shit without Steve Nash and a bunch of young athletes.

Boston's starting lineup looks slow and old; practically lifeless. It's really no wonder why they're winless right now. There's no more fire like there was back in '08 or so, it's been like this since Perkins left and got worse with Glen Davis gone as well. They should rebuild soon.

I agree! In D'Antoni's system the 7 seconds of offense even with the right players won't win a championship because they play zero seconds of defense.

Depends on what happens before the trade deadline. I have a tough time believing they are a contender this year, even as a diehard fan. But the west is wide open this year....

Any predictions from you guys for this season?

I'm thinking Heat will take the East, Thunder for the West, with the Heat winning it all.

I'm thinking along the same lines, but I happen to think the Thunder aren't as much of a lock as the Heat.

For me, the simple fact that the Thunder have system/interpersonal issues and the Heat finally figured out that they didn't have as cohesive a system last year plays huge. No other eastern team has the experience or real hunger from losing.

So, have the LeHeat lost yet...? And how badly are they destroying the opposition? If not by at least 50 points, it is LeFail.

Its still a possibility, but I think having a former basketball player as mayor, they are trying hard to keep them up there.

Not to mention, having the Clippers now a genuinely marketable product, there may not be room for another team in the LA area (be it, in the OC).

He is right. The economic impact of them leaving would be huge for Sacramento. There's already enough unemployment as it is.

I don't get how Atlanta beats Miami with Wade and Lebron but lose to them without those 2. Big game from Bosh though. T-Mac is easily the steal of the off-season. For the vets minimum are you kidding me? Who said this guy was washed up lol dude should be starting over their 20 million dollar man.
