Slightly OT, but what do people think of Tyreke's trade value? The Kings are apparently done with him and shopping him for offers.
Does anyone still believe in his upside? Does anyone think teams would give up much for him?
I think it could be a key trade for lot of teams. He's a good player. If he can fix the off court issues and if he can accepts some different roles i am sure lots of team will be interested. He's game resembles Hardens in my eyes. Of course he can start for lots of teams out there, but i would prefer him having Manu and Harden minutes, which are not bad if you ask me.

How tall is Tyreke. I haven't seen him since college, but i remember him feeling like a much worse version of drose.

Not even close*. Tyreke is probably 6'6" and a half and about 225 lbs.
EDIT: In size, I mean.

I feel like Tyreke Evans is a SG trapped in the PG position, or at least he was for quite some time (till Isiah Thomas started as PG). Like sly said, he's a 6'6ft tall train. I'd love to see him for a team where he doesn't need to have the ball so much, because he turns it over --a lot--

It's funny that we thought the Heat were going to have a cakewalk to the Finals. If the Celtics win, they can turn every series into a grind. I don't give Philly any chance.
However, we're lapsing back into Laker-itis here with their championship chances. (Get taken to 7 games by 6 seed, blown out in a couple of them, win game 7 by 5 points. Woohoo! Back on track for the ring!) Ok, they won 4-2, but they got exposed in a lot of ways. We've been harping on their lack of bench all year and it's just getting worse every game. I just don't see them beating SA or OKC at all.
This Game 7 is going to be just horrible though. Over/Under on either team breaking 80?

so stoked for SA - OKC
edit: although I'm going to be fervently rooting for OKC, I kind of want it to go to 7, just for the games.

After Bosh went down....everything opened up. Personally i hope Boston wins. Would like to see another great series unfold.
Without Bosh it's going to be hard but it will be fun to watch how Heat respond after these great games they had!

Kobe actually didn't play against tougher defenses - Wade did. But that's in another article somewhere about his historic runs against 3 of the top defenses in NBA History: The 2004 Pacers, the 2005 Pistons, and the 2010 Celtics.
Wade's a better playoff performer than Kobe because his numbers don't have sharp decreases vs top tier defenses.
I'll respond to everyone's posts in depth later though, need to get ready to watch this game! I don't think its fair to compare there playoff careers, since miami won the title in 06 they failed to get out of the first until they put the big three together.
Agree that this is something that wasn't addressed very well in the article either. You can't ignore the fact that one of them has won 5 rings while the other only has one when comparing playoff performance and statistics. The circumstances are very different.

Kind of looking for SAS to sweep the series, unless OKC is shoots lights out. The Heat should have an easy time with either Boston or Philly, both are playing worse than Indiana right now.

Yea I don't think the heat will have a easy time against either team. Miami can't win a ring with just LeBron and Wade taking care of the offense. Even if they combine for 70 a game there going to struggle against the west who can easily put up 100 points every night.

Not a great game so far. Plenty of mistakes from both teams. I don't really see either beating Heat if they play like this.
|
Game 7 it is! Whatever happens, I do hope Miami manages to roll them and get in good shape for the Finals (spurs/okc waiting there=ocrap though lol). I know a lot of Boston fans so here's hoping Celtics win so we can have some friendly competition going on.

Let's be honest, at this point everything the East does is formality. The real finals start tomorrow.
