Espn was right on the money when they were ranking players. People thought I was crazy when I said porter and Crowder are better players than melo right now.

maybe the coach. i bet they're all back though. people keep claiming people are going to the lakers just because they're the lakers. why are george or lebron going there besides the fact that it's l.a. ?

would you even want paul george as your number 1 player ? i wouldn't. he's not that good on offense to be that. how far can you go with him as that ? not sure why l.a. would even do that.

The Thunder really need to try to use some size and get on those boards.... If Westbrick is gonna be in full effect, you gotta get more possessions.

Said the guy isn't that good offensively from the beginning. Good defender, but he's not a great offensive player,

that would make more sense. gonna be interesting to see how people view them and if they attract the big names. they should but traditionally they don't.

Westbrook might be declining

With the way he plays okc should consider trading him

The Jazz have broken OKC mentally. Gary Payton is saying there is no fire from them but that's because when they brought the fire they still took the Ls because Utah didn't back down and showed their toughness. Now they've broken their spirit and have completely outclassed OKC.

Westbrook is too volatile as a player.

Hes the only top talent who routinely shoots below 37% in a 7 game playoff series. He'll do it 2-3 times depending how long the series is. KD bailed him out plenty of times, Paul George isnt anywhere near KD's level. And Melo is too inefficient and inconsistent to pick up his slack. Doesnt help either when OKC has a trash bench too.

he wasn't during the year, i watched them enough. but something happened. he made some comments recently about being hurt or something but he was vague about it. so who knows. he looks terrible.
