I wouldn't consider Harden as a Ewing Theory candidate since he was the third best player on his team last year.

So then why is Westbrook a candidate as the second best player?

Because he's one of the 2 stars on the team and he has gotten a ton of hype. Harden kind of flew under the radar until the end of the season last year.

Wonder how much OKC regrets having traded away true PGs in Eric Bledsoe (they drafted him then traded him away right after drafting him) and Eric Maynor for peanuts? Clippers still owe OKC a first round draft pick for him and it doesn't look like it's going to be a decent draft pick anytime soon. They could use both of them right now. Having James Harden would help too obviously since he could be a play maker, but at least they got something of value out of him.

Well I think it's safe to say Rondo is NOT a candidate for the Ewing Theory.

Kobe, Steve Blake, Nash, and Meeks all out for the Lakers. Their guard rotation is now Chris Duhon, Darius Morris, and Andrew Goudelock with Duhon coming off the bench. Hard to imagine that Duhon is now a seventh string guard. The Lakers couldn't even win the NCAA Championship with that guard rotation!

I think Bo Ryan has replaced Doc Rivers as the Celtics head coach. This is some turrible offensive output.

I really hope David Stern makes Denver vs. Golden State go to 7 games. Easily one of the most entertaining playoff series I have ever seen in any sport.

Ridiculous game from Nate Robinson and we're still going to OT2.

[lynchburgwildcats]

Westbrook out for the playoffs. Might as well hand the championship to the Heat.

[lynchburgwildcats]

Does the Ewing Theory apply if a team is no better but also no worse if they lose a player? Joe Johnson seems like a good candidate given the Hawks success this year.

[lynchburgwildcats]

There sure have been a lot of horrible games in the playoffs thus far. Injuries and road mediocrity.

JR Smith suspended for one game for his thug flagrant foul on Jason Terry

[lynchburgwildcats]

Is there a more exciting team to watch in the NBA than Golden State?

Andrew Bogut is making himself a fairly large amount of money with each playoff performance.

I always liked him

If he could stay healthy he'd be a star. He'll still only be 28 at the beginning of next season. If he gets through that healthy, he's going to command a ton of money on the FA market.

Jason Collins comes out as first active gay male player in major US sports.

[RubberMallet]

can we really consider him active?

On or off the court?

[lynchburgwildcats]

He played this year and was on an NBA roster through the end of the regular season. So yes, that is "active"

[adam42381]

Nobody said he is well-known, but he is definitely an active NBA player.

Impressed the board has not delved into the debauchery of arguing over homosexuality. Well done, folks. And none of that was said with sarcasm.

[thepostman]

why argue over it? He has a right to live however he wants. I may disagree with it, but such is life.

[lynchburgwildcats]

I officially retract my statement

Is there anyone in the NBA that's easier to dislike than Blake Griffin? At this point he's coming across as all the worst aspects of Rasheed Wallace dialed up to 10.

[thepostman]

Dwight Howard

[RubberMallet]

yeah i really don't have much disdain for blake griffin. he looks like the mean kid in like old comics though so i can see why people for some reason don't like him.
