Yessssss! Hahahaha imma live and die with the tank this year. Sorry people.. I'll try and stay out of the game and post game threads.

Tank is dead we just beat the #1 seed

And Pistons already with the movement sitting out their best players

The pistons I'll agree are a threat. But that wasn't this year's one seed more like fifth seed.

No way they are still gonna be at the top

So smooth and so many skills. Harden needs to rethink his strategy.

You know they are trading them for more picks though

Ain't nobody giving them a thing for that Horford contract without them taking back a worse deal... :wink:

I've got Brooklyn, miami, and Boston ahead of them. Regardless they aren't playing like a one seed right now.

Thats what they said for CP3, watch them trade Horford for an haul after making him look beastly again

Yeah this might be the best partner he's had in Houston in terms of fit and style. That pick and roll game with him and Wood can be tougher to guard than anything he's had going there. Yeah he's had some Iso perimeter guys but never a big with the skill set of Wood that can run that two man game with Harden.

Not sure how Wall fits into things when he returns, maybe off the bench or something but if he accepts that role the Rockets could be a legit contender.

I know, I'm just parroting what the folks who are still obsessed with the Process say about Randle & Burks :lol:

I don’t blame the Knicks for not signing Christian Wood. I blame Christian Wood for not signing with CAA.

RJ could pick a thing or two up from the way skinny-RJ works the refs. He really learned a lot from CP3.

Dort has Mitchell mad :lol:

How does OKC keep selling off and keep being good?

He hasn't looked bad he just hasn't shown much yet but you can the potential when does. I think when he does get comfortable with playing in the NBA he'll be quite an aggressive player. Physically he doesn't look at slow a foot as D'angelo Russell.. he's more athletic but he needs to play with bravado like the American kids do. That aspect of the game is where Frank hasn't measured up and where I think Hayes will just comparing two kids with similar cultural backgrounds.

Is Josh Jackson reviving his career in Detroit?

They have Horford playing center when we would be playing him at PF.

Their veteran PG led the league in 3-point shooting last year when ours shot 20.3% from 3.

They do it the right way.

Presti by default (considering how good he is at his own job) probably has a good scouting department.

Big-guard 2nd-options whose shooting is still a work in progress? Seemed like a good fit for the schtick :lol:
