So 2 stars joining up (LeBron and AD) is cool, but 3s a crowd.

3's not even a crowd. Yet calling up & grabbing former all stars all over the league to fill the bench? The Nets will have a title & they barely tried.

But I do love Super Teams because I love rooting against the villain
That's what they are to me - villains
Makes for an intriguing story and I love watching it all unfold
If the Sixers don't make it - I'd love to see the Nets in the Finals just so I can root against them
Lakers vs. Nets would be fasinating
Kind of a movie (or professional wrestling) where it's Bad Guy vs. Bad Guy - and the crowd/fans side with one of the Bad Guys which feels wrong in a way - but that's how much you actually despise the other Bad Guy
I never thought I'd root for the Lakers and LeBron - but if they played KD, Kyrie and Harden?
Yep - I'd be rooting for LeBron and AD to take them down and destroy them.

I'd love to see them in the Finals though if the Sixers don't make it
Tremendous theater

That's the thing though, they're not even a respectable enough villain, they're just a club with the most rolodex numbers.

I think there's a lot of people out there that dislike Kyrie, Durant and Harden......
KD leaving the Thunder to join the Warriors was the softest move in the history of sports
I find his fake tough guy act hysterical
I'm not the biggest LeBron fan but I thought Kyrie was completely disrespectful towards him and has been over the years
I notice he does do an awful lot for charities which I find commendable; however am completely turned off how he's always playing the victim in the media for not receiving his proper privacy. This is the same man who came out with a major motion picture where he was the star. You're an NBA player playing a kids game for millions upon millions - quit whining and crying how you're a victim. If you don't like your life and the atmosphere you're in - retire and get out of the spotlight.

I don't even care about Kyrie. Guy keeps painting himself some professional victim of coaches/teammates/owners/etc... & one day he'll wake up 34 years old & be too broken down to matter.
I remember the Maurice Clarett tv show... guy thought he should be getting HOF jacket fittings, when reality delivered him a dead end for pro football.

Knicks cruise in OT. Zion is becoming AD. Big numbers, New Orleans loses again.

I just look at the standing for the Eastern Conference. Seeds 4 to 8 are separated by only 2.5 game.

My goodness. The Knicks are on a roll, 7 straight in 5th place. If they win against the Hawks tonight, they'll be in 4th. Most exciting for the Knicks since Linsanity.

They just couldn't stop Hibbert. Hibbert never as good as that series.

Old school centers have no place in today's game.
