I am way late to the party, but why the Durant hate? The goal of any game is to win. If it is a team game, then that means being on the best team. It isn't about winning despite your team; it is about winning because of your team. When you play pick-up basketball, and you are a captain, you pick th...

I think some are letting their personal feelings about Westbrook affect their evaluation of him. He's a monster and I'd take him everyday and put the right pieces around him. When players become stars we tend to focus on what they can't do as opposed to what they can do. Westbrook isn't perfect, he...

I HOPE that Chriss is going to closer to Amare, and he does some things that make you see the similarities, like being a former football player and mentality there, having freaky athleticism, hearing that he nearly broke the rim, how he catches everything and can finish off passes that are out of t...

Family over Everything. Something Markieff and Marcus started at Kansas . I think Thomas Robinson was a founding member also.

Isn't that why we drafted Skinny Bogues? Or was that just to accommodate the new Face of the Franchise? I don't think we drafted Ullis so we can ship out Bledsoe and Knight and let him run the offense. In 2 years. I love Ulis, but he needs to add another 15-20lbs of muscle. Waiting two years before...

1.- Drafted Bender. I think nobody can honestly say. For all we know he could be the next Tony Kukoc or the next Skita. 2.- Trade with Sacramento. Decent, but I think we overpaid by one asset. Not the worst in the world considerin the pick inflation is at its highest at draft night. 3.- Drafted Chr...

The thunder were incredibly close to winning the title this year. To say you can't build a title winning team around Westbrook is just false. Had Thompson not caught fire in game 6, I think the thunder win the title. I would have had them as favorites this year had Durant returned. If the statement ...

What reason do you guys have to be high on the Grizzlies? They've been pretty solidly in that 50+ win range for awhile now. They fell a bit last year, but that was due to injuries. Conley/Allen/Parsons/Randolph/Gasol is a solid starting 5. They may struggle with injuries again, but I made my predic...

west power rankings 1 warriors 2 spurs 3 clippers 4 grizzlies 5 ... out of the playoffs: dallas, OKC potential playoff teams: suns, twolves, rockets, blazers, kings, jazz, pelicans I think jazz and blazers are fairly safe playoff teams. Of the thunder keep Westbrook, they will be too. The 8th seed ...

The year Durant was hurt he took okc to within a game of the playoffs. I think I read that he had them playing at a 47 win pace without Durant. That's a playoff team.

:ugeek: How are Simmons and Brown looking? I got in to late but Simmons only had 10 points on 2-9 shooting. Christian Wood scored 20 on 7-9. Brown was 2-7 for 17 points because he attempted 17FTs. Only hit 11. Everytime I see brown I see Corey Maggette and this game backs that up. His biggest attrib...

I'd love him, but I wouldn't want to trade Booker, bender, or Chriss. If they take some combination of bledsoe, knight, Warren, len, and draft picks I'd do it. I think okc would want Booker and wouldn't make the trade without him though.

The spurs don't stand a chance against the warriors in a 7 game series. Spurs will win 60+ games but will probably get swept. The warriors played their worst basketball of the season during the playoffs, still almost won the finals and now they've added the 2nd best player in the NBA not already on ...

I'd throw nuggets, pelicans, magic, and twolves in there too. Those teams should be better, especially pelicans and twolves, but I wouldn't be surprised if they struggle.

I think the first two years are super cheap, like 5 million, then it jumps to 19 million in years 3 and 4

Be interesting to see what kind of offers Len and Archie get next off-season.

Ya Millsap doesn't make sense for us at all. I love him as a player, but not for us right now. No idea why Atlanta would want to trade him either. I think he's better than horford.

He's better than OK, Draymond is a better rebounder and more capable of guarding bigs, other than that, they're pretty similar.
