I'm not saying that cramps aren't the worst, I AM, however, saying that LeBron was the only one cramping in a game where six guys older than me logged over 30 minutes. Plus the clips of LeBron complaining about the heat during timeouts seem petty at best.
I expect more out of the best player in the world.

Like I said, he usually covers the most ground of anyone on the court. He's the offensive and defensive leader, the Spurs especially are a lot more balanced, it's why they've been so good for nearly two decades.
Those clips are only like that because he was mic'd up. Everyone was complaining about the heat, it was 90 degrees in a confined space.

Didn't expect it, it's a very strange choice at this point in his career. It effectively takes him out of the race for NBA titles, since like his last run The Cavs don't have the sustained presence in their squad to run the gauntlet of the playoffs. Much like previous times I can see them having a good playoff push, then coming up against somebody like the Pacers who have that squad with multiple threats, then bowing out. Though, it does up his chances of getting multiple more MVPs and having a run at being the top point scorer each season.

Depends if K Love joins. They've already got Kyrie who's already the best point guard in the league, they've got Varejao who's been one of the most consistent centers for the last decade, younger guys like Waiters and Thompson, then Wiggins (although there's rumours they're looking to trade him. Strange decision for a no 1 pick tbh) and Anthony Bennett can only improve by having someone like LeBron around him. Really expect the Cavs to do well this year, just as good if not better chance than Miami had last year. They've got a strong line up, a really strong team that is probably the first or second best in the East. Melo will re sign with the Knicks but they're a few years off a challenge and the pacers will always be a nearly there team, too poor in the front court and average in the backcourt. Paul George isn't enough of a leader to help them win things. LeBron had Cavs in the Finals by 23.

I expect they'll do well also, but the more and more you look at how the NBA is going it's beginning to be teams with a 'big 3' and a good support group that end up going all the way. It'll be interesting to see how Kyrie does when not being the main ball handler on the court for the Cavs. Essentially I see them having a similar problem to Miami, in that the support wont be enough. Except with the only difference being that nobody is expecting a walk in, and win title after title with the Cavs. That is a big plus for LeBron in terms of going back, it takes a lot of pressure of him. I think the Pacers will get better and better, I think their run this year will help them immensely in terms of growth of certain players. Expecting Hibbert in particular to come on a lot after his hit and miss showing.

Paul George just broke his leg. One of the worst I've seen.

Huge shame. Hate pacers, love PG. With it being clean he should be back before the all star game but by then they'll be out of contention imo.

Fuck me man, that's awful. A very good player getting into the peak of his career, a blow to team USA that I was looking forward to seeing destroy spaniards at their home court as well. Hope he's back soon.

Leaves them with Parsons and Hayward as small forwards. Quite the downgrade on PG and KD.

Love officially to Cavs who finally have their Big 3. At the same time, I like the looks of the new Timberwolves with Rubio, Wiggins and Bennett.

Just been reading up on some Jose Calderon stats. Most Knicks fans will consider holding on to Melo the be all and end all but I am genuinely excited about what Calderon can offer the triangle offensive.
