Who gives a shite? That's not a rivalry. If it's in Cleveland the crowd won't care. The Miami crowd won't be intense.

OKC/Cleveland would be fun if Cleveland makes a few moves.

shite, Cleveland and Washington might be fun.

I could back this. But I like that clash of styles, period.

You're just trolling with us right?

I honestly don't think they will. Miami has been more or less amicable to his departure. Admittedly there have been a few butthurt individuals, but LeBron leaving Miami has been nothing like him leaving Cleveland. I wouldn't be shocked if he got a warm reception, honestly.

Miami fans aren't fervent. They don't live for the game.

ETA: And let's be real -- without him, they don't win the titles they did. They know that. If they boo him, on some level it cheapens that.

Yeah the Heat - Cavs games will have a more of a reunion feel to them like when Pierce goes back to Boston.

Give me Bulls/Cavs instead. I need some Noah trolling LeBron action.

I thought this too. Bulls could be damn strong next year. I thought Bulls/Sacramento after watching the Bill Simmons podcast with Boogie the other day. Sacramento might surprise people this year.

But that's supposition and I know these schedules are made months in advance.

12:00 - Nets @ Knicks
2:30 - Bulls @ Cavs
5:00 - Spurs @ Thunder (I know the Spurs would never be given that time slot but these are just wishes)
8:00 - Rockets @ Mavs
10:30 - Warriors @ Clippers

I enjoyed the troll attempt backfire in the W-L column, but I'll have to say, that wasn't half bad.

I wonder if Cavs-Hornets is now deserving of a look.

Right? How stupid do you think Boogie is? I'd like to see him throw a haymaker at Chris Paul. And I don't care what he says, he hates Blake.

I want Sacramento to be good because the better they are the more I can watch him play. The more I can watch him play, the greater the potential to watch him do something insane. I love Boogie.

Washington is gonna be fun this year too. They would be a fun team to watch on 12/25.

They have to give that game to two East coast teams and I'm not sure who else they would go with. I think the Wizards will be a more fun team to watch, but I'd be more entertained with the NYC matchup than a Nets/Wizards or Knicks/Wizards match up. Maybe Charlotte vs. Washington but there is no way in hell that those two teams are playing on Christmas day.

Boogie is the best.

Favorite part of the interview:

BS: "The one thing I've noticed about Dwight Howard is just how strong he looks in person. Do you ever leave those games bruised and sore."

Boogie: "Nope"

BS: "Then who out there do you play against and leave the game banged up and sore the next day"

Boogie: "Marc Gasol and Zbo"

Both of those teams are locks for Christmas day games, same as both of the LA teams most likely. Doesn't mean I consider them appealing
