I think Harden is a phenomenal player, but I can't stand statisticsball. I want to see good spacing, ball movement, and hustle. I think the Rockets did a fantastic job of putting together a competitive team. Not sure how long it will last, though.

I've watched the Nets. Personally, I would try to trade Kyrie, but that will never happen. I'm not really a fan of the big 3 concept. Anyways, the Nets are doing a terrible job getting turnovers. I think teams are averaging quite a bit more shots per game. The Nets offense is incredible, though.

They are doing better than I thought together, but the defense is just as bad as I thought it would be. I still don’t believe the nets are a championship level team. I expect them to lose in the second round or ECF at best. 

Miami has gone to crap so far this year. I keep looking at them and asking, is this the same team? What a finals hangover. I can’t remember the last time a team ran back a finals team with all the starters intact and just up and missed the playoffs. 

Orlando is tanking despite trying to win. They just need to fire sale all our older talent (Vuc, Gordon, Fournier, and Ross). All those guys are worth at least low first round picks (maybe high second for Ross). They would all be much better as complimentary pieces on a contender. Just need to commit to the rebuild
