Wouldn't call myself a huge NBA fan, but I enjoy watching it. My favorite team the past few years has been Memphis. Think they have a good shot to win the West this year.

I always enjoy when young guys develop into playoff performers like Lance Stephenson is this year. Remember when he was pissed at KU for choosing Xavier Henry (lol) over him and he wanted to join emaw? http://bleacherreport.com/articles/149757-lance-stephensons-attempt-to-get-back-at-kansas I put that second to only Frank mushing OJ in his list of recruiting mistakes

I forgot about that. That would have been amazing.

So the same Dan LeBatard Stan Van Gundy podcast I mentioned in the Jason Collins thread finished with Stan non-ironically professing his love for CiCis Pizza.

Didn't get to watch Pacers-Knicks. Did it have that old rivalry feel to it like when Reggie was there?

Well atleast one writer understands what the MVP award is all about

Most VALUABLE Player, it's not the best player award

unfortunately no. Even the announcing crew was saying how disappointing the crowd was for a playoff game. It will take an unconscious shooting night from Melo or JR to get this series to 6 games imo

Anthony is terrible. Scoring is the most overrated statistic in the nba.

If Lin can lead your team to a better record than you can, you do not deserve a MVP vote.

He's not the most valuable player on his team. Without Tyson Chandler the Knicks are a group of rudderless chuckers with a 6 or 7 seed.

Bulls/Heat series should be great. The Bulls hate the Heat so much and they're so emotional anyway that they are going to be absolutely drained by the end of it.

sounds like we have a bunch of Colin Cowherd fanatics in this thread (Read: puds). Melo is insanely good.

Yes, he's very good. Too bad there can only be one mvp.

i'm not saying he is mvp, but people seem to think that just because he isn't mvp that he isn't the leagues best offensive player.
