Durant is playing amazing right now. Hopefully he can keep it up. I think it also lit a match under Melo mentally.

I'm a Heat fan but I have to say the Spurs / Heat rematch is getting really bad coverage. Lots of talk about the Heat win and Wade coming off the bench. 3 of the Spurs best players didn't play though. Come playoff time Kawhi Leonard is going to be all over LeBron, Green is going to be adding in the 3 ball, and Splitter will go a long way in backing Timmy. As much as I like the Heat and the win I think its a bit unfair to ignore that Spurs were not anywhere near full strength.

I think Wade should retire if the Heat wins the title.

Dallas is quietly winning in the West and ESPN has not said a thing about them.

Durant is going nuts and is likely MVP this year. Unless Lebron starts going nuts soon which will happen at some point just don't know if it will last long enough or be enough. Right now with no Westbrook Durant deserves it.

As for the Heat Spurs game it was nice to see the Heat locked in for much of the game. Love games where the Heat win and Lebron does not need to play in the 4th. As for the guys who were out Leonard being out is the only big thing IMO. Ayers played pretty well, Green has had a really off year so far too and so much of it is in the Pop system. You can put a ton of guys in there as long as they have their big 3. The Spurs have also only one 1 game against the best 8 in the league I believe.

He is not retiring for at least another 2-3 years especially if they win again this year.

I'm just saying that because it's clear he has a arthritic knee and not getting any younger. So if the Heat win the title he will have 4 Rings at the age of 33 which should be enough due to his health.

I think if anything he'll drop down to the 14 Mil range and play a much reduced role a bit like Manu Ginobili.

I'm not sure he is going to last that long. He has an injury that doesn't really go away. He's going to have a hard time playing on that knee consistently. At best, he will play sporadically like he is this year if he plays another 2-3 years. Either way, no team can depend on him every game.

Because they're not the exciting team like Portland, GS, OKC, or LAC. They're a bunch of old dogs, and yes I do agree they probably aren't getting the coverage they probably should but they also are only at 8th place. 6-4 in the last 10.

They are still an 8th seed team. They need to move up in the pack for it to be worth a conversation.
