    Then again, there wasn't a GS to go up against.
    The Lakers had the most dominant pure center and the most dominant perimeter scorer in the game. On the same team. Not to mention, their role players (3-9 on the depth chart) were all crazy accurate shooters in the playoffs and clutch as .

    And had won three championships in a row, all 3 Finals wins very convincing. None of that 3-1 choking like the Warriettes.

    One thing is for sure if all these West teams stay healthy, for the Warriors getting to the NBA Finals isn't going to be a cakewalk unless ZaZa rolls the ankle of every star player. GS is the favorite to come out of the West, but it will be a difficult task if they can pull it off again. This would favor the Cavaliers to win the championship because their toughest series will probably be vs Celtics, Warriors will either be battle tested or exhausted if they can make it back to the NBA finals. I would say neither the Warriors or Cavs is a lock for the Finals, but it's the most likely outcome.
    Celtics are better than the Cavs honestly. Irving is a million times better than "Mr Irrelevant" Midget IT.

    Not sure adding CP3 and Melo to those teams absolutely makes them a better team than Spurs


    It's "sexy" and "new" but Rockets didn't lose to Spurs because of what Paul brings to the table..Paul doesn't help Rockets defend the Spurs...

    OKC is interesting but Melo doesn't do the little things...but I'm curious how this plays out. But against the Spurs in a series not sure how he hurts us.

    dont understand how you could add Melo to the picture and not LMA. Melo aint even a top 50 player and hes older than Aldridge. LMA deserves to be in the pic. The hate is unreal man.

    edit: si has melo ranked 37 and lma 31... yet melo can be in the pic cause of brand i guess smh

    It’s amazing how much people overrate Carmelo Anthony. Dude is 33 years old, a ballhog, a perennial loser, and in a downward trajectory at this point in his career.

    If anything, losing Kanter hurts OKC more than it helps them. They’ll finish as the 4th seed in the West (at best) and lose to the Warriors in the 2nd round. Book it.

    Patty and Pau make a combined 28.5MM/year. Melo makes around 23-24. Would you rather have Patty + Pau or Melo?

    Melo didn't make NY better. At one point he had a fairly stacked team and did nothing with it. He's a loser. He does really well against 3rd world countries with a team of superstars though.

    Are the Spurs really that old tho? TP/Manu/Pau.. Who else?
    The 3 of them are really old. That's enough when they aren't depth players, but rather some of your main guys or frankly some of your most significant playmakers and offensive weapons beside Kawhi.

    Rudy Gay is not an old horse but he's an injured horse, coming off a delicate and potentially career ending injury. It's a question mark he would even be the same. He says he's fine. I will see it when I see it personally. I also don't take for granted that he may not get injured again when he already got that injury.

    For me this isn't about Melo to the Spurs bc he doesn't make sense for this roster. I didn't want him personally, but it makes me bitter to see rivals left and right improving, while Spurs are standing pat this summer and for the foreseeable future.

    the picture ace3g posted had melo in the pic with westbrook and george yet they omit lma next to kawhi like hes worse or something. id rather have aldridge than melo... aldridge beat houston. wasnt much he could do against one of the greatest rosters assembled... hes good against a mismatch and with a point that can make life easier. he had neither in the wcf. i accept him for who he is tbh but thats a tangent

    Oh I missed the reference to the picture. I guess you are right. The picture was trolling, meant to exaggerate I think. LMA has helped out but he got outplayed by 40 yr old Manu, JSimms and Kyle once Kawhi went down against GSW. That's still in ppls mind (while they don't give props to JSimms and Kyle).

    Before Anthony trade, had Rockets as better regular season team and leaned Thunder as better playoff team. Think regular season is now a virtual coin flip, but am now more certain about playoffs and since they're obviously more important, I'm going Thunder.

    One thing's clear, Spurs aren't even in the mix. What's worse, if it was ever so much as ajar, the door officially slammed shut on Westbrook to Spurs possibility. Can't imagine Anthony, with 2 years left, isn't agreeing to go to Oklahoma City without having gotten assurance from him that he's staying. Without any other path to legit second star on horizon, time to officially entertain notion of Leonard not re-signing past current contract.
    Well, since NY got virtually nothing for him, I'd guess there were no assurances at all on Melo's part. You have two world class ball hogs in Melo and Westchuck, meaning PG 13 will never see the rock. Houston gutted their bench, so my answer is the Spurs.

    I didn't say that at all. I said up until the Spurs lost players, they were the more talented team. After that, it became an issue of stamina in game 6.

    For the most part, in today's NBA with these loaded teams, it will take talent or talent that wins important individual match-ups to win it all. Bottom line, the Spurs don't have it.

    4th seed is not looking too bad. We'd stop the speculation what if getting Dubs,and get OKC and HOU slug it out. MVP Kawhi a lock. Go Spurs Go.

    OKC and Houston should improve, but I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing. There is so little parity in the NBA since Durant decided to join a 73 win team . The Spurs are also likely to improve. Perhaps not in terms of wins and losses, but I see them improving as possible contenders.

    OP is a Thunder fan. He's been washing Westbrook's balls for years now.

    Lol Mills!

    Player comparison in year 8 of career:

    Tony Parker: 22.0 PPG, 6.9 APG, 51% shooting / 3x All-Star, FMVP
    Patty Mills: 9.5 PPG, 3.5 APG, 44% shooting / 0x All-Star

    Playoffs in year 8:

    Tony Parker: 28.6 PPG, 6.8 APG, 55% shooting
    Patty Mills: 10.3 PPG, 2.7 APG, 41% shooting

    The saddest part of all of it is that Parker outplayed him THIS season.

    This guy has Kevin Durant levels of sensitivity to people online with a little psychosis thrown in. He's been following me around all summer, but it's increased lately after me and DMC pointed out how salty he always is. Since then, he's been following me around daily and non-stop quoting me. Guy has obviously lost his .
