that was the lockout season, that shit doesn't even fucking count. no one said it won't be interesting. a game is always interesting when you got two stars who don't play defense but can score, definitely entertaining. new york homers are hyping the fuck out of their current situation, calm down, get some defensive minded players and an actual bench, and also fire d'antoni in the off season then come act like you're an actual title contender. rep your team to the fullest, for damn sure but don't front like they can win it all.
and to the mavs comment, give me a healthy butler and i would say we can make the finals, without a doubt. not because of him alone of course, but because of his intangibles and the way he spreads the floor and his defense, it really gives us that a piece that would fill us in properly. sucks dirk's getting up there in his years, this is his best squad yet, a defensive minded center who can score when in position, some one besides jason terry as a number 2 option for once. deep bench with defense and scoring. lots of pieces, just couldn't stay healthy but that's part of it. never know, butler could be back if we make it to the wcf.
oh and i do think dirk is more clutch than kobe,
