I mean, imo, Miami's are trash. But I am definitely a fan of simple classic jerseys.

I'm a fan of simple jerseys too, but I thought them going full Miami Vice is pretty awesome.

I got the reference for it, but thought it was tacky.

It’s always interesting to read people’s opinions you respect who see the same thing in an opposite way. One of my favorite things about Miami’s Jersey was the simplicity. To each their own.

I was being a little harsh, I think. They aren't trash, I'm just not a fan of the overall Miami Vice theme. I really enjoy the classic simplicity of the Philly and Chicago jerseys. If you put some kind of cursive script on a jersey, chances are I'm going to love it. See OSU's throwback basketball and baseball unis.

It's also in homage to their old Miami Arena.

CLEVELAND'S KING LeBRON JAMES:

Are things crumbling in Cleveland?

Shockingly, after Saturday’s loss, LeBron indicated that coach Tyronn Lue’s future might not be set in stone in Cleveland, even after winning an NBA title in 2016.

“I would hope not, but really don’t know,” James told reporters when asked about whether or not Lue would be fired as a result of the team’s recent struggles, according to Cleveland.com’s Chris Fedor. “I don’t know what’s going to happen with our team. I have no idea what conversations have been going on. I’ve been trying to stay as laser-sharp as I can to keep my guys ready to go out and play.”

That isn’t exactly a ringing endorsement of his coach.

LeBron James gives eyebrow-raising answer about Tyronn Lue’s job security: http://www.givemesport.com/1240387-l...ecurityhttp://

If you watched Inside the NBA commentators last night; they were primed for LeBron to break that 30,000 point plateau. The show's theme centered around LeBron becoming the youngest NBA player to eclipse 30,000 points.

Cleveland's return of a healthy Isiah Thomas was to be the turning point for the CAVS to get back in the game.

LeBron fell short 7 points shy of his goal; they probably had confetti ready to fall from the rafters of the Q-Arena. Cleveland will be on the road against the Spurs when they play their next game--sorry King James--it didn't happen on the Thunder's watch.

[Thomas Vu]

Heh, IT coming back will fix the problems. Yeah right.

Heh, IT coming back will fix the problems. Yeah right.

Got to admit that Isiah Thomas just got back; let's see if he can shake the cobwebs off or deal with the cob corn

[Thomas Vu]

It's not even that. Their defense is the issue, and they traded Kyrie for one of--if not the--worst defenders.

Agree, the Kyrie trade for Isiah was bad because I. Thomas can't play any defense--Irving can lock down on opponents.

[dankrutka]

Kyrie is a really bad defender too. Not as bad as IT, but one of the worst point guard defenders in the league.

The Cavs may or may not pull it together, but it's way too early to judge. IT came off a serious injury and, as the Heatles/Thunder/etc. have taught us, it sometimes takes time to gel. We'll see.

Shame the notable jazz def is bad against the 3 ball.

^^^^^^^^
Best possible move, assuming Carmelo situation is resolved and PG retained. If not, it will be bumpy, but of course would be bumpy for even a Pop or a Phil Jackson.

[Roger S]

Just trying on his next jersey.

[dcsooner]

Like pain huh? Watching the second ex Thunder player potentially win a NBA Championship is for me not enjoyable. Just hope the team goes all in for RW.

(DAMN) HEATED SPURS FANS ALREADY BURNING KAWHI LEONARD'S JERSEY AFTER HE DEMANDS TO BE TRADED!

San Antonio's rose.

Don't get it. If the fans want him out and he wants out; sounds like a win-win situation...

Carmelo Anthony is on the Thunder's books for $26,243,760
Kashi Leonard on the Spurs' books for $18,868,626 plus we get Rudy Gay $8,406,000.

[dankrutka]

Sorry, but this is a pet peeve, but why does one idiot Spurs fan represent Spurs fans? I guarantee you that Spurs fans want Kawhi to stay. We do this with every superstar now. Why do we give them so much attention?

[Zuplar]

I’d love to get Kawhi. Easily my favorite non Thunder player. I’m know several Spurs fans and none of them want to see him leave I can guarantee that.

[Thomas Vu]

I'm sure the spurs would love another iso player.

[catcherinthewry]

Kawhi for Singler! Hell, I'd even throw in Melo to help with the salary match.
