Yep, looks like it.
The East has been historically bad this year, but the top 2 teams in the conference are the only elite teams in the NBA this season, tbh..
The top teams in the West are very good, but all potentially fatal flaws, tbh..
Elite: Heat and Pacers
Very good: Rockets(weak perimete defense, Howard's FTs, Harden's reliance on refs), Clippers(perimeter defense, frontcourt depth, Jordan's FTs), Thunder(lack of support outsider their top 2, Westbrook doesn't look the same post-injury), Blazers(unsustainable style of play, one of the worst in the league in both interior scoring and interior defense), Spurs(Leonard and Green regressing, Duncan inconsistency, lack of a long 3/athletic 4)..
Good: Mavs, Wolves, Nuggets, Warriors
Miami and Indiana are the only teams that have a realistic chance of winning the le, barring injuries/trades, tbh..
Yep, looks like it.
meltdown over one game
at least we didn't lose to the ing 76ers or Celtics
Blazers and Rockets don't deserve to be very good
miami has fatal flaws that were exposed in last year's playoff run. indiana's flaw was their bench and they patched that up with watson, scola, and the return of granger
Spurs caught lighting in a bottle last season. The winner of the ECF...which will be Pacers/Heat barring injuries...will be the NBA champion.
SMH at Harlem. You dismissed them already trying to hype up coasting Miami. "They need a PG" my ass. Oh, and GH > TP.
Wow, HH melting down and the game isn't even over yet. He's being a 1st degree pussy as usual. His inner beta is shining thru tbh, tbh.
I dont think pacers playd 7 vs da heat... tbh
I don't ever melt down, go look at my posts upstairs, I don't think any regular season game means anything, tbh
Spurs are really good, just like last year, but Miami and Indiana both improved and are much better than the rest of the league..
I was one of the only non-homer posters on this forum that was confident the Spurs would easily win the West last year, FYI
Wow, the gotry in this thread is epic. Lose one game to the Pacers early in the season and meltdown. Leave the site tbh if you're gonna give up this quickly.
Pacers will cool off at some point. Certainly not going to keep this insanely good level of play for the expand of the whole season.
Look at Indiana like the Blazers, only Indy will actually contend with Miami at the end.
Spurs are in a little bit of trouble because they're simply not giving much of a right now. You have to at least maintain and win meaningfull games (yep, even in december) and they are just not doing that right now.
I'm cool right now but if this keeps up into next year and into January-February I'll be panicked.
If the ECF isn't Miami-Indiana, there isn't any point in watching.
Rockets ain't that good at all imho. they just have lost one less game than us mavs and they play a losing style of game which will be exposed in the very first round of playoffs tbh
Pistons-Pacers second round is possible, tbh.
I hope they brawl again
Too predictable imo.
Not really concerned, tbh... only one of them is coming out of the East, and hopefully after a battle royale...
i agree. both miami and indy would be favored in a series over the spurs, but the spurs should be favored to represent the west. tbh, if we can get to the finals, i'll take it though. puncher's chance if anythingI don't ever melt down, go look at my posts upstairs, I don't think any regular season game means anything, tbh

Agreed, tbh. But it's December and the Spurs have a chance to join that tier tbh.
HH is probably the most well grounded poster regarding takes on his own team. I'm a bit on the pessimistic side and most gnsfs are on the unwarranted optimism side with forays into the abyss of despair after a loss. I wouldn't call his take a meltdown. He's spot on.
at least we didn't lose to the ing 76ers or Celtics
IMO, Leonard is not regressing.
Leonard not playing well is a result of too much pressure due to expectation.
Parker should have shut his mouth up about the All-star talk..Imo
They don't need to. There can be only one of them to meet us in the playoffs. We just need to be able to get back to the Finals. We have hurdles like OKC and Portland, and with Ayers getting minutes, it's going to be interesting to see how it all unfolds. There eventually has to be a drop off. The Spurs could be like a Li battery, full speed with a sudden drop off instead of a slow decay.
u know ur team is when u allow diaw many offensive plays, remember how that went for him his last season with the suns where he was the goto guy? lmao couldnt buy a basket when games were on the line...I don't ever melt down, go look at my posts upstairs, I don't think any regular season game means anything, tbh

if he played like this last season = ring
too bad everyone is taking a step off the peddle this season, unlike a certain wanker on the team still hero mode
That would be worse than regressing. Leonard isn't part of the offense. He's often ignored until that moment he's expected to create for himself. That doesn't work very well on a team based offensive system, but he's doing just fine. Every team in the league would love to have the guy.
I actually thought he should have been more aggressive.
