Anyone else watching the Clippers blowout OKC rn? CP3 is playing like some sort of point god right now... How does he score 8 3pt shots in a row?

Unbelievable stuff.

Back in 2011, Ty Lawson had 10 3's in a row...but that was regular season

Chris Paul is just crazy

I don't want Miami to win because of the three peat

I don't want either OKC or LAC to win because Paul +Durant need to go another season ringless

I wanted Pacers to win, but that seems highly unlikely now.

I would be indifferent if Spurs won.

EAST SUCKS....I hope they change the playoff format to top 16.

I don't even want Miami in the Finals. I liked the Warriors. I'd like to see my hometown team Indy win, but Hibbert chose the worst time to disappear. Washington would be nice, but unlikely. I'll go for Portland, i just feel bad for them, so unlucky:/

Pacers let go of Andrew Bynum...due to knee issues

Such a promising career gone to waste

@Reddish-Blue, It happens, just look at Greg Oden.

Sports medicine has really evolved over the years, but for some there's nothing that can be done. It's cases like him, (Andrew Bynum) that i wish i could follow. Like where does he go from here. Yes he has money, but i know it's not enough to last him the rest of his life based of the way he lives. He will probably get one more shot in the NBA, as long as your 7ft tall, teams will always look your way. As the saying goes, "you can't teach height". It's why people like Jason Collins are still in the league.

Media career. Bill Simmons said yesterday that Bynum is going to do some work for Grantland.

That, and Collins is a good 1-on-1 defender. For some odd reason he matches up best against Dwight.

due to knee issues.. is just a front to his real issue (even though knees was an issue to a degree)

Due to being an unmotivated millionaire is the real reason. Bynum was on the sixers, cavs and now the pacers. If the coaching staff had any ounce of belief in Bynum, they would of kept him.

Jason Colins is in the league because he announce to the world he was gay. It just happen to be a coincidence that the Nets signed him a week after that announcement. His signing was a PR thing, not being a tall thing.

I can understand if he was young, athletic, etc still, but Collins is 35, slow and terrible in basketball.

Bynum was still going to end up the same way as many pro athletes after a few years out of playing professional ball. Doesn't matter if you have a 5 year career to a 10 year, when these guys are burning money like nothing.
