Wonder why they don't just bench Lance Stephenson.

The entire East was a joke this year. Only respectable team is Miami.
How do you end up being behind by 40 points with your season on the line.

Well, it sounds like not many of you are excited about these Finals, but I am. Even as a Rockets fan first and foremost. :D
Who you got winning? I'd love the Spurs to, and I think they are better than they were last year, but I just can't see them taking it. Going with Heat in 6 games. Think Leonard will do a good job against LeBron, but in the end Miami's just better. Parker being limited will definitely factor in as well.

San Antonio in 6. Manu gets revenge for playing awful. Unless the NBA wants Lebron to be the current Michael, then Miami in 6.

That Leonard dunk was awesome
I'm about ready for the nba season to be over. Not because of basketball but because of bill simmons. Dude needs a muzzle.

Play pretty much sums up the NBA finals. Truthfully, the Spurs should have won last year as well.

Gortat Returns (http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/11164797/marcin-gortat-agrees-re-sign-washington-wizards)
I figured he'd get around 12. I'd hold off on overpaying Ariza.

i agree but Martell Webster back issue has comeback and he will be out for awhile. IMO i rather pay Ariza 8.5 mil per than overpay Lou Deng who effing sux.
I was hoping for a shorter deal with maybe a team option for a fifth year, but 12 per is about right for Gortat in this division. Remember, Hibbert is making like 14.9 this upcoming season, al jefferson like 13.5, and chris bosh 11.5(but will increase yearly to like 15 mil per in his newly signed 5 year contract)
I thought for sure we were going G Monroe over Gortat...rather have more of a power guy than a finesse guy down low all day.

I've got a suspicion that Ariza's going to command at least 10... there are more than a few teams that could use his skill set- especially after the season he had. You're right about Webster- but it's time to throw Otto into the fire. He was the #3 pick (albeit in a weak draft) and he'll never get better without burn. The team would definitely take a step back at the 3 position in the short term, but Ariza's next contract is going to be for at least four years... I know Wall wants him back, but our FO can't become the Lakers and placate the star player just because.
Agreed on Gortat over Monroe. Gortat's older, but his mileage isn't as high as other players his age. I think we'll have him during his prime years.
