I've seen a Tapology Talks for everything else so wth.

 

With the playoffs approaching lets talk some basketball.

Some news from recently:

- Heat get 18th win straight over Indiana.

- Lakers beat Chicago to take 8th seed in the West.

- Durants 23 pts and 10 rebs get the Thunder their 5th win in a row against the Cetics.

- Raptors beat Cavs, Kyrie Irving injures shoulder.

- Magic gave the 76ers their 5th straight loss.

- Suns beat Rockets even though Harden gets 38 pts.

I'm curious as well. I've always been a Rajon Rondo fan. Like the way he plays. Interested to see where he ends up. I think him going to Houston would be beneficial to him and of course, Houston overall.

If Rondo can stay relatively injury free (and that's a huge 'if') I think he'd be the piece that would make them contenders ... but the way these last couple of seasons have been going I'd be hesitant to throw **** in for Rondo ...

anyone catching highlights of summer league? Wiggins is going to be an awesome player especially with Lebron to mentor him and Nerlens Noel will win ROTY the guy will be a beast around the rim

Seriously tho, Nerlens Noel is looking like he's on some ****** up ****.

I love the way Andrew Wiggins dunks, it's almost like he's stuck in mid-air and the only thing that could bring him back to the ground is if he uses the momentum generated from his arms slamming that basketball through the hoop.

haven't seen any highlights of Exum but reading great things about him and maybe the Cavs were serious when they said Parker was out of shape reading he is not looking good later in summer league games

Yeah, only Summer League, but I'm looking forward to seeing Wiggins play. Not sure whether or not being on such a solid team will help or hurt him in the long run.

anyone who has Lebron to mentor them is a good thing if he was with a different star like kobe or melo I would think it would hurt him but Lebron is pretty much the perfect teammate

Let's cool our collective jets here for a minute. Some terrible players have looked like ALL-STARS in the Summer League. I'll jump on the Noel hype train when I see him bang bodies with serious NBA level talent.The biggest knock on him is that he doesn't really have much of an offensive game. Super athletic, but if he has developed a post game and can stay healthy, Philly could have a stud.

Interesting news regarding Dirk Nowitzki; He was offered a max contract from the Lakers but he signed on with Dallas for $8.3M per year. (According to ESPN)

Dirk is very loyal to the Mavs and Mark Cuban. He's not only the best German basketball player ever, but he is also seen as a role model in our country and is widely respected. Let's hope that has still 2-3 good years left before he retires.

I thought Dirk was Polish?

Polish, German, Uzbeki, regardless of his nationality Dirk Nowitzki is a legend of basketball and I'm just happy to be able to watch him continue playing the game.

The Lakers' troll offer was cool tho.

I'm liking the retro names under the numbers on the back. Looks best on the Wizards uniforms.

I've been watching the Cav in the summer league ... already noticing David Blatt's patented "weave" which starts so many of his plays ...

Are they going to rock the first names on the back? That's rad.

Turns out Nowitzki got max offers from Houston and the Lakers and he turned them down to stay in Dallas for less money, like a SIR!
