All the people who compare him to Eddie House are insulting House. At least House didn't have tunnel vision or choke in big games. Fatty, meanwhile shoots 21% in big games and still needs a 40 year old to run the offense for him.
Damn, I'd watch your back just in case.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 .
Probably. Tholdren is the type of got to follow a girl home from the bar with a shovel, rope, and tape after she rejected him at the bar, or turn around and swerve through traffic chasing down the guy who flipped him off on the highway.Damn, I'd watch your back just in case.
What I meant was, this more than likely clinches Westbrook signing an extension, which more than likely closes Spurs' last possible route to much needed second perimeter superstar for foreseeable future and that doesn't improve odds of Leonard extending. There's no player I can't stand watching more than Westbrook, but winning a championship is more important than that and you don't get to pick and choose among elite players. You take what you can get.
Chemistry could be an issue for Thunder, but again, the days of Spurs beating more talented teams based on that, among other things, are gone. They're much closer to a typical team in those areas now, with inferior talent.
Rockets lack depth past top 9, but a either Paul or Harden-Gordon-Tucker-Mbah a Moute-Nene 2nd unit, is solid to good.

#2 in the WC is Golden State. #1 is the Spurs.
It's true till it isn't
Currently the Rockets, but the Thunder have the higher ceiling imo.
Manure is ing trash jesus christ
What a washed up mummy
Thunder humiliated by understaffed Spurs. Rockets are better currently.
Like I said, the potential is there. It's up to the Thunder to figure it out. IMO, Rockets won't be much better than last season, if at all.
Then you have to consider the Spurs real contenders with this roster (everyone healthy though). But I will say this, CP3 always gives the Spurs fits.
No one is a contender outside the Dubs unless they're derailed by injuries. Spurs could end up better than the rest if Kawhi returns and everything pans out well (LMA continues to play with confidence, Gasol keeps being a net-positive, Fathead keeps being MIP-level, the youngins keep showing up), but they'd just be that: second best.
Also, CP0 on the Rockets hasn't really worried me since the trade. I'm just not convinced him and Harden can coexist and he doesn't fit Houston's offense.
Thunder 0-6 vs. West.
Lolololo
I've changed my mind and it has nothing to do with a random regular season game.
I'd now rank all 3 in the same tier for both regular season and playoffs, with the order being: Rockets, Spurs, Thunder.
Thunder needed to out star Spurs to be clearly better and Aldridge's re-emergence combined with George's somewhat limited role (he's too arrogant and young to accept this, which should lead to chemistry issues) due to Anthony's refusal to be Heat Bosh or Cavaliers Love, has narrowed that gap. Also, Patterson, their 5th best player, doesn't look the same post knee injury. This is an especially crushing blow for an already shallow team, with no credible backup C option.
Spurs will be better than the Rockets with Kawhi and Tony back. Stronger stars, better coach, deeper bench.
wooot
Chinook with predictive powers here.
I think with the Spurs internal development frankly they will be formidable once they have Kawhi and Tony back.
Guys are undermining the achievements of this team without Kawhi.
Lamarcus and Gasol are playing amazing basketball, Danny is much improved once he's run off the line, he's finishing those plays at a great rate it seems like, and Kyle is playing well and has become a rotation caliber player IMO. The Spurs have multiple weapons on the bench which Pop has been able to find playing time for, just in the right situations. Also, the Spurs have shooters to make a come back provided they get stops (Davis, Bryn and BP3 have each had 1 signature game). The Spurs are a good team that will be great once they have Kawhi back.
Looking better than... right now too. Denver has actually struggled to incorporate him.And
Also kind of some predictive powers for myself here...
but young ponies be racing though, that I am glad to see.
Rockets will get revenge against us in the second round
Actually think the Spurs would beat the Rockets in a rematch tbh; just don't think CP0 adds a new dimension to them. In fact, the additions of PJ Tucker and Luc Mbah a Moute worry me more. Much more worried about the likes of the Thunderefs, T'Pups, Guests, and Pels.
Plus LMA was last season. He's been looking a lot better this year
I still have doubts about him when Kawhi comes back ... Kawhi is a much more efficient scorer, so taking touches away from him to continue to accomodate LMA will not lead to success.
We can only hope ...
yep, with KL and TP9 back as starters, it will be a new start to the season, new lineups, totally different distribution of minutes, chemistry, shot and ball sharing shifts.
LMA is already a bit of a black hole when he goes into his backing-down or fade-away moves. That ball ain't going anywhere but up in his shot. Open cutters and wide-open jump shooters need not apply.
