04.13.19 | Yeah i was watching when he got injured. Pretty brutal. Reminded me of Hayward last season |
AlexKzillion
04.13.19 | It looked even more brutal than Hayward's imo because he's so much bigger, with the ref accidentally stepping on him making it even worse.
Feel like Adams and (if they make it past the thunder) Jokic/LMA are gonna have a field day against Kanter. |

manosg
04.13.19 | haha Sitar, how can you hate the Nuggets? Jokic is one of the most exciting players to watch atm. Hated the Clips, Spurs and Jazz as a kid. The Clips were always awful, the Jazz always played the same goddamn flex offence and kicked my Lakers' asses when Kobe was young, and the Spurs were far from the beautiful version of basketball when they won their last chip. However, the only team I hate right now is Golden State but I think lots of people will like them again once/if Durant and Boogie are gone. |
SitarHero
04.13.19 | You're right. I'm pretty ambivalent about the Nuggets (passing big men? meh been there done that) and the Blazers (remorseless gunning little men? meh seen better).
But the Warriors, Rockets and Thunder are the absolute worse. How can anyone not hate the Rockets? What a fucking abomination. |
manosg
04.13.19 | love your passion Sitar, but passing big men of that level? Unless you include Magic who was a PG, only Sabonis was that good. Divac, maybe Daugherty, Walton and Wilt (who I haven't seen play apart from youtube) weren't remotely as good as Jokic. |

04.13.19 | Dang, someone's salty over the Bucks. They're worlds away so much better than what I saw of them last year, and unlike previous years, it's not solely the Giannis Antetokounmpo show; this year they got legit players helping out. |
Storm In A Teacup
04.13.19 | THUNDER UP
Thunder vs Celtics is the dream |
SitarHero
04.13.19 | The problem with the Bucks is that teams that reliant on 3 pt shooting is that they're either going to blow you out or be blown out. Which is why they probably have the best shot of beating the Warriors, but might also possibly get knocked out in the first round if they go cold. |
Uzumaki
04.13.19 | 3 pt shooting has been their achilles heel for the past several years, and it's nice that they actually have some guys who can shoot, but they also have guys that can go in the paint and score in the small game too. This is the most balanced I've seen them in a while. I agree with your 3 pt logic though. |
Uzumaki
04.13.19 | If anything, I can see them getting past the first round. Anything after that, all bets are off lol. |

04.13.19 | lebronto isn't a thing anymore. so the raptors definitely have a shot |
manosg
04.13.19 | Agreed, the Bucks seem the safest bet for winning the East. The 76ers' starting five is great too but they lack depth and I'm not a big fan of their coach. But if they manage to play their starters for 38 mpg consistently and without having injuries etc., I can see them going to the finals. |

AlexKzillion
04.18.19 | Idk. The Rockets are about to play them with a fresher and probably even better James Harden than last year, and a (hopefully) healthy Chris Paul. The Rockets are also fucking locked in like no other team in the league rn while the Warriors are still coasting. They’re definitely still a threat imo since they’ve finally gotten back to the level they were playing at last season. |

04.22.19 | @Sitar I remember thinking that moving Harden wasn't necessarily the wrong move, but they didn't get fucking anywhere near enough back. Serge Ibaka was a monster, man. In retrospect, moving Russ was probably the best thing they could have done. As much as he's the lifeblood of that team now, Harden / Durant would clearly be more devastating than Durant / Westbrook was. |
SitarHero
04.22.19 | Naah man, the point wasn't which of their three stars they should have traded. It's that they traded any of them at all instead of paying the luxury tax to keep that core together and dominating the league for the next decade.
Instead they traded Harden, watched GSW become the juggernauts that THEY should] have been, then watched KD (bitch tho he is) walk because he knew that if he couldn't get to the finals with Westbrook while 3-1 up on the Warriors with a gimpy Curry, he was NEVER going to get to the finals with Westbrook. And he was right.
But, KD (bitch tho he is) gets all the blame in this despite Presti and Bennet and crew screwing the pooch. |
0GuyMan0

04.25.19 | I wonder what would happen if a team intentionally tried to barely attempt any threes. They'd probably win without much difficulty |
SitarHero
04.25.19 | The opposite actually. The reason that teams shoot so many 3's is because it's a much larger return on investment than anything except layups. I forget what they call it, but essentially it's why the Bucks shoot half their shots from beyond three point land. They just have to make 33% of those shots in order to beat a team that shoots 50% from inside the arc.
I'm not a fan of it, but at least it's not constant iso iso iso flopping and flailing. Harden is an insanely talented basketball player but watching him play makes me want to tear my eyeballs out with a rusty spoon. |

Trophycase
04.29.19 | I genuinely can't understand anyone defending the Rockets. Harden is the most blatant and egregious flopper in the game and maybe if he got back on defense instead of turning to the refs they might have won instead. If you want legitimate fouls called, maybe don't jump forward 4 feet on purpose and kick your feet out to try and draw a foul. It's just karma coming back around. Maybe if he actually tried to make the shot instead of flying backwards and falling on the ground like he does half the time, he might shoot a higher percentage. |

“I genuinely can't understand anyone defending the Rockets. Harden is the most blatant and egregious flopper in the game and maybe if he got back on defense instead of turning to the refs they might have won instead.”
I agree in a vacuum but this is arbitrary when they’re playing the Warriors who are like public enemy no.2 in this regard. KD and Draymond are like the next tier down from Harden and CP3 when it comes to flopping and complaining. |

The Rockets live and die by refs calls and the refs have made it pretty clear that they're generally going to be swallowing their whistles when the Rockets and Warriors play each other. If the prospect of the Rockets going toe to toe with the Warriors without the refs in their corner fills Rockets fans with anticipation then they're a more foolhardy bunch than I thought. |

Yeah, and they literally lost. Doesn't matter if they lose by 30 or lose by 4, they lost. And they will continue to lose because without the referees augmenting every other possession of theirs with a trip to the free throw line they simply cannot run and gun with the Warriors. |

AlexKzillion
04.29.19 | Lol this is ridiculous. The Rockets shot an average of 24.4 free throws per game during the regular season. They shot 29 yesterday. They didn't lose because of the Rockets repellent that is "playoff officiating", they lost because of a cold first quarter, Capela being garbage, and going -13 in the nine minutes P.J. Tucker wasn't on the floor. You can even throw in Paul and D'Antoni's dumb technicals for good measure. This is all way more fixable than the "mu calls" narrative makes it out to be. |

It's hard to believe that this is the same D'Antoni coaching this garbage as the guy who came up with the SSOL offense in Phoenix.

Maybe KD and Curry will be 100% by the time the Blazers series starts, but as it looks right now the Warriors are the most vulnerable they've ever been in the playoffs. |

SitarHero
05.16.19 | Shit! Too bad Pau Gasol is out. We came THIS close to seeing brothers play each other in both conf finals. |
AlexKzillion
05.16.19 | If I were the Pels I’d go full youth movement cause I doubt AD changes his mind just because of Zion. A trade with the Lakers prob nets them Lonzo/BI/Kuzma/4th pick. Lonzo/Jrue/BI/Zion/center with Kuzma and one of Culver/Hunter/Garland coming off the bench is a fucking core. |
SitarHero
05.16.19 | Trading AD for Lonzo, BI and Kuzma is a massive trade-down for the Pels. Kuzma is the only guy whose value went up last season despite Lonzo and Ingram basically being given the keys to the franchise. And Kuzma basically plays the same position as Zion.
It the Pels hold on to AD (who's two years younger than Jrue and only 3 years older than Kuzma) they have a starting frontcourt that can dominate the league for the next 5-8 years at least. They have two generational talents on the books, kind of like Philly does with Embiid and Simmons, but even moreso because neither AD nor Zion are as glaringly flawed as Simmons. |
SitarHero
05.16.19 | That being said, I really do hope the Pels pull the trigger on the trade because the only downside to AD playing with Lebron is, what jersey # is he going to wear? |
Source
05.16.19 | The draft lottery has always seemed really shady to me |
AlexKzillion
05.17.19 | “Trading AD for Lonzo, BI and Kuzma is a massive trade-down for the Pels.”
The Pels are never gonna fair value for AD tho, and the longer they hold onto him the less trade value he has. I feel like they’d be better off trading him while they can still get half decent value for him as opposed to keeping him for another year and praying he changes his mind and risk him walking for nothing. They’re gonna have Zion now so I don’t think trading AD will be the white flag to winning it would’ve been six months ago. |
Skoj
05.17.19 | well the zoloft finally hit a nice serum concentration and I can function in society again.
Rockets lost that series off terrible Chris Paul and Capella play. Refs, for reasons I still don't understand, swallowed their whistles in that series statistically more than any other, but we still didn't play well enough.
Zion goes back for another year, he won't go play in NOLA, AD or otherwise. |

And Durant is hilariously dumb and full of hubris. He's gonna go play with people he wants to play with, not rings or money. That's why it'll be Houston or LA. He wants nothing to do with 1B players like Irving, Green, or Davis who believe themselves to be 1A.

05.18.19 | Y'all keep sleeping on Milwaukee at your own peril. They're gonna win this one in 5 because Toronto is CLEARLY overmatched. They have the best defense in the league and the 4th best offense. They have the league's (probable) MVP who is basically the most unstoppable player in the league right now, as well as one of the deepest benches. They've lost just ONE game so far in the playoffs to a Celtics team that had all the momentum in the world and then just crushed them to the point where a budding dynasty looks like a ton of detritus.
If KD doesn't come back by Finals time (assuming Portland doesn't pull off a miracle) and doesn't look his MVP calibre self Milwaukee is gonna curbstomp the Warriors too. Hell, even if KD comes back I'm not betting against Milwaukee. |

05.18.19 | I’m surprised the Raptors look so helpless against the Bucks but I shouldn’t be. This Bucks teams’ MoV is like top 20 all time, with the majority of the teams just slightly above them winning the title. |
SitarHero
05.18.19 | I think MoV is a misleading stat for a team like the Bucks because of how many 3s they shoot. A ton of both their wins in the reg season were huge blowouts.
But that being said their def rating is excellent and their offensive rating is very very good. It helps when they've got guys like Middleton and Bledsoe who can consistently create their own shots, and Giannis who is freaking unstoppable right now.

05.21.19 | Agreed. Props for them taking it into double OT; those open 3's they were leaving was just maddening though. They've got to figure a way for Giannis to break it into the paint, and that probably means for Bledsoe and Hill to really push the pace. |

teamster
05.26.19 | As a huge Bucks fan (live in Milwaukee since I was 5 ), I am bummed. Hard to believe they lost 4 in a row. They lost two in a row twice all year. Teams that start 2-0 in 7 game series win the series 94% of the .time. Holy moly. They need one more all star. Only way to do that is via trade. Other option is let Middleton go and sign Brogdon, Lopez and Mirotic and play Snell and Connington at shooting guard. I wish Jabari Parker wanted to stay In Milwaukee, could have been that guy. |

Exactly like soccer fans. Or to a lesser degree most other sports, or to a greater degree any sport played in Philadelphia.
Rooting for certain teams makes sense. Like college teams, because they have deep ties to communities. But rooting for (most) pro franchises is whack as hell because it's kind of rooting for any other corporation.

SitarHero
06.06.19 | Of course all the non-Curry warriors look mediocre trying to shoot a shitload of threes when that isn't their game. Someone should tell the Warriors that shots made inside the 3pt line also count. They're gunning when they should be grinding and Curry is just shooting for 50 at this point. |
Dmax28
06.06.19 | Even with average defense, would you really be concerned about Iguodala and Green's offensive output potential? |
Dmax28
06.06.19 | That's a great point Sitar. |
SitarHero
06.06.19 | Still a good game though. I think Klay's defense on the wing was missed more than his offense tbh. Green and Lowry came to play today. |
Dmax28
06.06.19 | Yea. Do you think the warriors can afford to rest Durant any longer? Or maybe his injury is much worse than they are letting on and he really is done. |

06.06.19 | "Do you think the warriors can afford to rest Durant any longer? Or maybe his injury is much worse than they are letting on and he really is done."
I definitely think his injury is worse. He hasn't even started full contact scrimmaging yet and who knows what state his conditioning is in right now. I personally don't think it makes sense for him to risk aggravating an injury in a contract year, but KD always wanted to be the hero saviour so he'll probably come back at some point. |
SitarHero
06.06.19 | "Someone needed to tell the Bucks this when they were playing the Raptors as well."
In the Bucks defense they're still young and inexperienced and they weren't wracked by injuries. They probably didn't think they needed to change their gameplan to keep winning, but they'll probably be smarter next year. Meanwhile the Warriors have been doing this for a while now. Kerr and Curry are way too experienced and smart to let themselves think that The Warriors were going to outshoot the Raptors. |
Source
06.06.19 | I wonder what Stephen A is saying now |
Uzumaki
06.06.19 | “In The Bucks defense...”
True, it was just frustrating to see them acquiesce to the Raptors style of defense and rely too much on trying to make the 3 ball, and a little bit of that frustration came back when I typed that out last night/this morning. |

06.06.19 | The bucks suffered from what is known as rockets syndrome |
SitarHero
06.06.19 | Stephen A: "If the Warriors were down 3-1 and KD and Klay were coming back I'd still be sitting here telling you 'they comin back'."
There's a lot of legacies at stake here. Can Curry succeed without KD? Do the Warriors really need KD? Does Kawhi have what it takes to put away a shorthanded Warriors team.
All the while I'm thinking, "WHY THE FUCK COULDN'T THE WARRIORS HAVE BEEN THIS BANGED UP EITHER OF THE LAST TWO YEARS M*****F****** S*****B****!" |
SitarHero
06.06.19 | And I think the difference between the BUcks and the Rockets is that the Rockets can ONLY play the one way because they've been built to a specific offensive philosophy that's been their MO for the past 3-4 years now. The Bucks meanwhile are still finding themselves and having a guy like Giannis who's still getting better and stronger and more skilled means they have the option of changing up their game. They just choked in the Conf Finals, but I wouldn't count on it happening again. |

06.06.19 | The real question is if the warriors lose, will fans cry about their team's injuries despite making fun of Cavs fans for crying about their team's injuries in 2015? |

Cousins has yet to prove he is capable of playing at an all star level at all (I legitimately can't remember a game this year where he has). Livingston is basically the ghost of Shaun Livingston, Iggy is playing great for his age. Dray is Dray. And Looney, who is arguably their best bench player at this point, is still out. Anyone who watched some of the lineups on the floor last night and still want to call this team capable of winning a finals is pretty laughable |
SitarHero
06.06.19 | If you're an MVP candidate then the last thing you should be allowed to do is have excuses because the other MVP candidate and the 2 of the remaining 4 All-Star/Finals MVPs on your team are banged up. Just saying.
Maybe Curry just doesn't have the Jordan gene. Yeah, that's probably what it is. :D |

And Iggy could be as old as Carter, but as long as he's rated one of the best wing defenders in the league, which he still is, and has enough athleticism to throw down alley oops effortlessly, then he's still a threat. The Iggy playing today is about 85%-90% of the Iggy who won MVP, not some scrub who came out of retirement because the Warriors couldn't suit up 7 players. |

SitarHero
06.08.19 | One of MJ's signature plays was passing to Paxson for the 3 to win Game 6 of the '93 finals. He also shot better than 50% from the field for most of his career and averaged more assists than Kobe despite not being the team's primary ballhandler/offensive initiator. His reputation as a ballhog was overblown.
However, if he passed to you and you missed he was likely to punch you, so he was definitely a douchebag. xD |
SitarHero
06.08.19 | I mean, for his era yeah he was probably a ballhog because there were few players with his ability to go one on one and score, but the guys who came after him and emulated him (like Kobe) took that to be the only noteworthy aspect of his game when he was actually a more than willing passer late in games. |
Keyblade
06.08.19 | I think Kawhi is the closest we've seen to MJ. the deadly efficiency and unwavering drive to win reminds me more of MJ than the 30 moves Kobe tried to emulate |
SitarHero
06.08.19 | I agree with that assessment. There was a moment during the Philly series when I had sudden MJ deja vu with Kawhi. It was on a fast break and he cupped the ball with one hand before throwing down the dunk and I was like HOLY SHIT that's an MJ move!
But yeah, his efficiency and decision making in addition to his pure scoring ability, defense and mid-range game make him the most MJ-esque player we've seen since MJ. |

06.11.19 | Even if his achilles wasn't torn in the Rockets series, it's definitely busted now. I feel sorry for the guy, but it was his own hubris that caused this. Kerr didn't play Klay in Game 3 and I'm sure he wouldn't have played KD in this game if his hand wasn't forced. |

06.14.19 | Klay is a bit of a douche tbh. I mean, he's usually the guy passive-aggressively dissing other teams and players in the media ("some people got their feelings hurt") but the dude was also possibly the most important member of the Warriors. Unselfishly letting KD and Curry get theirs instead of looking for his own shot. Pulling the toughest defensive assignments etc. His shooting was basically the only thing keeping the Warriors in the series. The Warriors owe him a supermax contract even if he doesn't play a second next season. |

"Pat was honest instead of bending over for Lebron and his crew"
I'm talking about Riley being a little bitch and STILL sulking 5 years later because Lebron wouldn't re-sign with The Heat. Does acting like an adult and a professional = bending over backwards? In his defence he at least didn't write an open letter in comic sans, but he's still acting like a jilted ex-wife.
"Losing is part of the game and it's happened to him all but one year since leaving the Heat. Lets not forget it was Lebron who choked against Dallas."
The hell does this have to do with anything? Yeah, losing is a part of the game, so what does that have to do with anything. Also, saying Lebron choked against Dallas really minimises how well Dallas played and was coached in that series. They earned that victory by throwing different looks at Lebron all series long and ultimately playing him to a standstill.
"LMAO Imagine thinking the Heat OWE Bron anything"
The ONLY reason that team came together was because Lebron, Wade and Bosh DECIDED to play together rather through some great front office management by the Heat. They all took pay cuts to do it and the only thing that the Heat front office had to do with it was clearing their books enough to make it even remotely possible, but that was something that pretty much every team did in order to woo that year's free agent class.
Lebron, Wade and Bosh did EVERYTHING to bring those championships, as well as the unwavering attention of the entire basketball world to Miami. Which meant that their merch sales and visibility went through the roof. Basically 50% of all basketball coverage was on Miami and the Heat. And The Heat being in the entertainment business, reaped its financial benefits.
"The league rigged the draft for them hoping to make some kind of rivalry."
I can't make any sense of this statement. Care to elaborate? |

06.17.19 | Gilbert's reaction is unprecedented and kind of despicable tbh |
SitarHero
06.17.19 | Yeah, the fact that Gilbert in any way was a part of the team that broke Cleveland's 52 year championship drought was the one sour taste of that 2016 championship. |
GhostB1rd
06.17.19 | On a scale of 10 to infinity how badly do you think Lavar wants to fuck Kristine Leahy? |
EyesWideShut
06.18.19 | Lebron had had his mind made up to leave and thats fine.. but to string the team along just for media attention was a wrong move.. A big part of Lebron winning a championship was because of the Heat organization, from coaching, team structure, other players willing to play in Miami, and Pat Riley's presence. Pat spoke his mind and mentioned "losing" as a main reason Lebron left which was more than likely true, if the Heat 3peat who just decides to leave. Besides the first year nobody was sulking down here lol
As for the league rigging the draft for Cleveland, if you cant see it.. than you cant see it broski haha |
SitarHero
06.18.19 | "A big part of Lebron winning a championship was because of the Heat organization, from coaching, team structure, other players willing to play in Miami"
True, but the the Heat have made the playoffs only twice in the 5 years since Bron skipped town and won only 1 out of 3 playoff series while Lebron has been to the Finals 4 times, so clearly Lebron >>> Heat management.
"As for the league rigging the draft for Cleveland, if you cant see it.. than you cant see it broski haha"
Lol yeah, the freaking CLEVELAND CAVALIERS had the draft fixed for them. Not the Knicks, not the Lakers, not the Celtics. Not any of the other 21 bigger market teams, many of which were also floundering in that era. Riiiight. |

didnt they get 3 first round picks in 4 years during Bron's absence ?? How else do you think they would even have a shot to recover if he never came back haha You will never see that happen again broski |
SitarHero
06.18.19 | I assume you mean 3 first picks and not 3 first round pics. Cleveland finished in the bottom 3 in every one of the years they got the first pick which is why they had great odds to get the first pick.
Yeah, it's improbable for that to have happened three years in a row, but it's also equally improbable that the Cavs are so incompetent that somehow they managed to pick only one All-Star and one guy who is possibly the greatest bust ever. Do you really think anyone outside of Cleveland gave a single shit whether or not Lebron would return to Cleveland? Lol.
And because of Cleveland and Philadelphia's tanking antics and being rewarded for it the NBA changed the draft lottery odds so that tanking teams wouldn't have such a huge advantage. So you're right in saying we'll probably never see it happen again. |

SitarHero

06.18.19 | hey fuck you key |
Devastator
06.18.19 | They had their eyes on KD and Kyrie but Kyrie seems to want to go to the Nets and I wouldn't be surprised if KD collects the 31 million dollar option from the Warriors next season so Kawhi and Butler are their best options. |

Keyblade
06.18.19 | i rather he go to the lakers tbh, he might actually win something
but now that i think of it, none of these options seem particularly tempting. he's already a raptor legend and can build a dynasty here. why roll the dice with thin squads and shitty management just to play with 1 or 2 stars? |

Keyblade
06.18.19 | that's literally what i just said |

06.18.19 | I'd love it if he stayed in Toronto because it would break the norm of players just going to the big market teams like NY and LA. Plus anything to watch the Knicks east shit again. |
guitarded_chuck
06.18.19 | the reason the nba and mlb will never be as entertaining as the nhl is because of that: big markets rule, same shit all the time

06.18.19 | The MLB sucks because they have no salary cap so the Red Sox and Yankees can always just buy the best players which is bullshit. |
guitarded_chuck
06.18.19 | yeah and the nba has too soft a cap |
SitarHero
06.18.19 | I'm not sure how well-placed the Raptors are to become a dynasty. Lowry and Gasol are in decline. Ibaka had a great season but he has been in decline too. And Anunoby didn't develop much this year (still only 21 though).
That means that Siakam and VanVleet are for the foreseeable future options 2 and 3 on the Raptors. I wonder if that's enough to continue competing with Giannis and the Bucks. |
guitarded_chuck
06.18.19 | theyre deeper than the bucks for the next couple of years easily
dynasty is a strong word but ye |
Keyblade
06.18.19 | still plenty deep enough for 1 or 2 more Championships if Kawhi stays. that's enough to be considered a dynasty in this age. last team to threepeat was the Lakers 00-02 |

06.28.19 | He's definitely not in his prime anymore. He's ageing like fine wine but he really needs to shift the focus of his game away from ball handling. He definitely doesn't have the stamina to play point and run the offence for 48 minutes anymore, even when he sleepwalks on defence.
I was hoping that playing with Lonzo and Ingram would allow him to shift into a more Jordan-like role focusing on his own offence off the ball the way Kawhi does and only dominating in the crunch, but clearly Lonzo and Ingram weren't/aren't ready for that. |

They're also paying $141 million for four years worth of Kyrie Irving leading a team (without Durant) for at least one year (something he's thus far been incapable of) and then three years of trying to figure out how to share the basketball with Durant and each probably getting on the other's nerves.

07.07.19 | LMAO! Apparently Paul George used to date Doc Rivers' daughter but cheated on her with a stripper. Now Doc is his coach. That is some peak Clips hilarity. |

07.10.19 | Damn, time sure does fly... :o
Also, these Lakers starting to look like a proper team! Still a little thin at forward, but it sure would be nice if they manage to swing a deal for Andre Iguodala. |
Source
07.10.19 | yep I feel like the media might be underestimating them a little bit |
SitarHero
07.10.19 | Are they? I thought the media was touting the Lakers as the 2nd or third best team in the Conf on the strength of LBJ and AD alone.
They're still lacking depth at SF and PG, especially when it comes to guys who can guard the likes of Kawhi and George, but hopefully they stay healthy and Rondo does a decent job running the second unit. |
Source
07.11.19 | I think they are to some extent. Seems like the attention is going to the Clippers right now. But I legitimately think all Lebron needs is one good teammate in order to reach the finals, and he has that now. |
Devastator
07.11.19 | Lakers should just trade for Westbrook for the fireworks between him and PG alone when they play the Clippers. |
Source
07.11.19 | Idk if LeBron and Westbrook would play well together |
Devastator
07.11.19 | Oh god no but I'd love to see it just for Westbrook to try and murder Paul George. |
Source
07.11.19 | Westbrook needs to calm down and move on when his teammates leave |
SitarHero
07.11.19 | Yeesh. Westbrook is the anti-Lebron. No efficiency whatsoever. It would be a disaster. It would be fun watching him and Jimmy Butts in Miami though. They'd have a legit chance of getting to the finals and meeting the Lakers or Clips there. |

07.11.19 | NO |

SitarHero
07.12.19 | GSW and OKC (and to a lesser extent, San Antonio) are the only teams in the West that got appreciably worse in the offseason. Unless Curry comes out gunning for Wilt's 50ppg all-time scoring title they're probably not gonna be anything more than a low playoff seed and first round exit. |

07.12.19 | Neither the Lakers or Rockets will win a playoff series. |
Devastator
07.12.19 | Lakers will, Rockets I could see getting bounced early. |
SitarHero
07.12.19 | The Rockets are nearly impossible to predict right now. Westbrook and Harden could be a complete trainwreck, or could be spectacularly successful, or could be exactly the same as when CP3 was on the team. |
Source
07.12.19 | Two of the biggest ball hogs in the NBA. I'm thinkin trainwreck |
SitarHero
07.12.19 | But that's the style the Rockets thrive in. If the Rockets staff manage to sort out Westbrook's allergy to efficiency he'll be super dangerous in their system. |
Source
07.12.19 | Maybe one of them will shock us by altering their style of play |
Jesuslaves
07.13.19 | Chris Paul made his teammates better. He's done that his entire career. Westbrook does not. Westbrook is a stat-stuffer who only wants to dribble for 15 seconds then hoist up a dumb shot, just like Harden. That team is gonna be much less than the sum of its parts. |
SitarHero
07.13.19 | But that's exactly what the Rockets want. The downside is that, despite all his incredible athleticism Westbrook's offensive efficiency fell off a cliff last season (probably due to declining athleticism). He takes a lot of bad shots and doesn't even make good shots at a good clip, which is the main problem with this scenario. If the Rockets can somehow get him to pass up the long two pointers and actually make his threes the Rockets might be a threat.
And, as great as Chris Paul is, he might be the one guy that teammates enjoy being around less than Westbrook. I feel for Steven Adams. He's going to have a career year this season, but he's going to hate every second if it. |
Jesuslaves
07.13.19 | 30 year old chuckers don't get reinvented. Especially when they have an ego like Westbrook does.
I'd be surprised if Chris Paul is still with the Thunder on opening night. |

07.13.19 | Saw a funny comment on youtube the other day
Westbrook: you're not taking this shot
Harden: yes I am
Westbrook: *blocks Harden's shot* |

08.02.19 | Lakers 42-40 suffering through wear and tear of the season.
Portland will suffer for assassinating the first Thunder era with a record of 38 - 44.

Storm In A Teacup
08.02.19 | So Chris Paul is ready to play for at least half a season to prove his trade value and that is where the Thunder and him have decided to leave it at that for now
He can now mentor an already sprouting Gilgeous-Alexander and we have an improving Stephen Adams and an improving Dennis Schroeder who can also mentor Gilgeous. We also have Danilo Gallinari. All Gallinari has to do is average 18.5 points and 48% FG. Terrance Ferguson and Hamidou Diallo have a huge chance to develop into reliable athletic 3 point shooters. Thunder can trade their picks for one star and be set. |
