Fat boy Lebron stalker Brian Windhorst says the Rose Bulls divorce has begun. It might be true. If so good luck Derrick. You arent starting over Jordan Clarkson on the Lakers. Maybe the Knicks?

The Raptors sure seem to be firing on all cylinders. This years Hawks I guess.

Didn't they start like 15-4 last year? Skinn Lowry helps.

I'm getting fatigued on reading articles that reference the cap 'skyrocketing' next year. Zach Lowe mentioned it in basically every paragraph he wrote before espn locked him in their basement. Sure, the cap is going up but not THAT much. In a true American sort of way I think the cap situation is going to lead a few teams into spending way beyond their means. I personally cant wait until Spencer Dinwiddie or some such bum gets the max.

I can understand the fatigue but I do think it will have a major impact on pretty much every roster move/team building plan in the next few years. If anything, fans need to adjust their perception of what players are worth under the new cap.

I went to the Bulls/Thunder game last night. Admittedly, I'm not a huge NBA fan. But man, that's a different type of crowd that goes to those games.

Cubs games are a bunch of fat white guys and drunk idiots like Eddie. Blackhawks games are bearded white basic guys and slutty puck chasers who cant explain icing. See the royals first base coach beating for a summary of white sox fans.
Bulls fans? Bulls games are salt of the earth but you always see one idiot with a lebron jersey.

So a couple of things with Lebron and uniforms. Good for him ripping up those stupid sleeve unis. Those are such a pointless money grab. The other thing ive noticed is lebron is trying to be the trendsetter for the return of nut hugger shorts. Seen him in some a few times now that were short enough his spandex undergarments were visible. Not really a fan of that look.

It seems like half the teams in NBA have forgotten how to defend the pick and roll.

To be honest, I hope he doesn't retire. Watching Kobe play like shit night after night is pretty great.

The achillies tear was the end. I'd say hes tarnishing his legacy but most great players dont know when to quit due to their competitive nature. Even MJ went through this. Lebron will too. It will be extra sweet watching it happen to Lebron because he doesnt have any old man game or finesse to fall back on.
