Epic game from the King!!!
Buzzer beater layup to win the game1. It seems that expected Spurs-Heat matchup can be real scenario, looking forwrd to how Grizzlies will do in home arena though...

Btw. Cavs will be so awesome with Irving, Waiters and Noel, i think i have a new most favourite team. I liked them already and with Noel, their young core should rule in few years.

They will be huge, true. But not sure how Noel will impact their game.
I watched a lot of Kentucky games this season and imo he isn`t a game changer really. Great defense and nice shot blocking, so maybe he could suit them when the offense is coming from others like Irving mainly.
But then again I don`t know hoch much he can improve or how far he is against NBA players. If he improves also on his offensive side he could become a real good pick, otherwise just one of the weaker #1 picks in the last 10 years. A Bargnani like pick in a pretty weak draft.
Plus his long injury. You`ll never know if/when he reaches his maximum again.
That all said, they should still be improved. Lots of nice young talents and if they start rolling they could become dangerous in a few seasons until it comes to RFA.  |

I think Noel is all about defense, at least now (he can develop to be better offnesively, he has time). And Cavs are worst defense in the league, offense is not problem for them. And i hope Nola can be a defensive game changer, like Dwight without offense.
But i agree this draft is rather weak, next year with Wiggins will be much better.

I think Noel is a shotblocker,like a Serge Ibak type, but I think his Deffence as a whole isn't amazing, I mean its good but its not great. However his Shotblocking is the best in a generation, but on offence you have to hid him, I mean last year he would take such trrible shots in the post, the magority of him is shotblocking, not dffence as a whole, shotblocking |

You heard about players development? It is not like man cant teach a thing playing in NBA, youngsters are all about learning potential. He is great shotblocker already and he can work on other aspects now for years. He has great athletic ability and he can potentially build on it. Truth lies in future, we can never know, maybe he will end like Oden, or can transform into new defensive superpower.
Look at M.Gasol, he was not far from tragic one-dimensional player in first years, he is dominator now.

look I dont think he will not get anybetter but to be honest I dont see much improvement in his game that will be made, apart from the deffecive side, I think he will be terrible on offence, I was talking about right now in my last post, but I dont think he will be anybetter the Serge Ibaka |

I agree pretty well with this article, i think he can develop, athletic abilities are there and that is all that matters now, rest can be learned. I think he will have bigger impact than Ibaka, but that is just my pick and we are all just guessing.

It is not only about speed, look at those vid, man is able to jump three times in three seconds, meter high.
He need to bulk up and work on his post moves, also better the jumpshot, but that is not needed so much for a center.

Birdman suspended a game, wonder why they didn't give him a Flagrant 2 in the first place...

I am not a big Heat fan, but i can appreciate the good basketball when i see it. And i admire James a lot, best player ever imo.
But against Spurs, i would be certainly on Heat side, i dont like Spurs a lot.

People, people there is no way that the pacers are gonna beat the heat, Lebron, is just gonna do what he did in game five, however, if the pacers win that will be because of great preformances by paul george and Roy hibbert
Still I have 50$ in bets on the heat |

That's stretching it a bit, though we'll see. He's still in his 20's and still has many seasons to prove himself. I would say that he would need at least 3 rings to have me consider him against MJ.
