The Kings were the first team to figure out that Dante Exum is Andre Roberson tier at shooting and they just aren't defending him at all.
We've scored 17 points in the last 16 minutes.

By KingGondo Go To PostThe Dubs playing like this without Durant is pretty funny.This Generation's Patrick Ewing.
Jazz have looked a lot better with Exum out of the game.
He so desperately needs to become an at least average shooter instead of this disastrous shooter.

By Smokey Go To Postharden is the only chance the west has of stopping gs tbhEven without Durant I still like GS in a series.
With him... lol.
By Smokey Go To Postharden is the only chance the west has of stopping gs tbhHarden vs Klay, Durant, Andre and Draymond taking turns guarding him? Phew
If Rudy Gobert averages 30/25, we can beat the Warriors.
We're the only ones tbh. Because Gobert could foul out Draymond.

EFG of 36% and TS of 49%?
By IWMTB19 Go To PostDurant is the best player in the NBA.
I think he will help the Warriors tbh.
Yeah. I think they'll survive.
And knowing KD, he's spent his injury time watching a lot of tape and assessing sets. He'll probably come back more integrated.
They have a massive margin for error including one of their four all-stars getting injured and still being favorites to chip.
Spurs, Thunder and Cavs aren't as strong as last year and the Rox can't match up with them.

3 of them are top 10 players in the NBA.
I also don't think you've really seen the full versatility of that roster.
By giririsss Go To PostYeah. I think they'll survive.KD is a selfish player... integration isn't really his thing

By pilonv1 Go To PostDavid West starting to fit in is a bigger deal than Durant coming back imothe last thing yal need is david west out on the 3pt line sippin margaritas
By DY_nasty Go To Postthe last thing yal need is david west out on the 3pt line sippin margaritasI dunno. Replacing Speights has actually been a problem for them.
"Sentences i never thought i'd say about contenders".
I hope he's ready and not rushing it. 1 game losing streak has me shook, that 4/5 matchup is really looking like it's going to have to deal with Milwaukee.
By DY_nasty Go To Postthe last thing yal need is david west out on the 3pt line sippin margaritas
His passing has been really useful, he's been mostly hovering around high/low post.
Brooks needs to fuck with the starting front court rotation. Let Ian start next game. This defense is fucking atrocious.

he can't come soon enough. the last two games, we were really poor defensively.
By Dark PhaZe Go To Postjust delay the mvp vote for the thunder and rox series and let whoever wins get the trophyJazz have
fukit
Wizards
@Spurs
Blazers
Wolves
@Blazers
@Warriors
Spurs
.. we comin for that 6th seed.
Thunder have:
Spurs
Hornets
Bucks
@ Grizz
@ Suns
@ Nuggets
@ Wolves
Nuggets
We'll probably finish 4-4 to get to 47 wins. We're capable of beating anyone at home (except GS apparently) and capable of losing to anyone on the road.

uuh thats like 4 wins at the absolute minimum, 5 or 6 is way more likely.
Clippers get at least 3 more to get 48 wins or 49 if they can win @DAL, Thunder probably get 48 or 49, and the Jazz should get 48.
That puts us in the 6th spot. Maybe if the Warriors have first seed locked up they rest that game and we get 49. Worst case scenario we get the 5th seed against the Clippers... so goooo Thunder.

We aren't immune from nearly losing to teams on a tank mission. See the last two games @ Dallas and @ Orlando that took herculean efforts from Russ to barely win.
We probably go 3-1 at home (either losing to the Spurs or Bucks) and probably 2-2 on the road. Maybe 5 wins but 4 wouldn't surprise me.
In my dream world we go 7-1 to end up at 50. That would be an incredible achievement after losing Durant.

"It's hard for you to just craft a rule out for the top players," he said. "I've seen guys that's not even in the playoffs resting, sitting out for the rest of the season. And it's nothing against those guys. I'm not trying to bash them or anything. [Phoenix Suns center] Tyson Chandler is out. They got him sitting out for the rest of the year. I'm sure he wants to play, but they're not saying anything about Tyson Chandler, so it's hard for me to really talk about this. It's not a league-wide rule. It's not a league-wide concern."

Is Westbrook the best conditioned athlete the NBA has ever seen? It's crazy watching people around him gas out on less minutes and playing at half the pace. It's like he has inexhaustible hidden energy source.

Haha, I don't think so. I think he's just the Hulk. He's always angry.
Edit: Not in reference to the MVP. In reference to PEDs. For MVP, I still say Harden.

to be serious though he's just built different mentally.
lebron is the most hilarious guy about it--what is it now 5 straight nba finals runs while missing barely any games and this dude puts up tomahawks from the free throw line on back to backs lols

Society can't accept that to get the performances we expect from our best athletes they often have to resort to PEDs.
It would be better if we just got it out in the open and these guys were able to do it with doctor's supervision.

Westbrooks cheek literally got caved in and played the next game.
Are we supposed to care about PEDs? Everybody uses them and for good reason.

They should be able to do it without worrying about losing their livelihood to nonsensical restrictions imposed by ownership.
I'm sure most of these guys have doctors who know what they're doing.

HGH is an illicit drug unless prescribed, and it has health risks.
