Re: Around the NBA 4.0
Bradley Beal is going to be a freaking stud. Boy did I underestimate him coming out of the draft. Holy hell.

Re: Around the NBA 4.0
At this point, OKC and Memphis should just play one 5 minute period with the score at something like 93 all. So much overtime

Re: Around the NBA 4.0
The Thunder are a competent head coach (i.e. George Karl, Lionel Hollins) away from being a championship team --- dynasty. I watch their games, and I see so much talent, but zip zero nada strategy. It's like watching a game of 5-on-5 at the local Y whenever they get the ball on offense

Re: Around the NBA 4.0
I'm getting a sneaky suspicion that OKC might offer Russell Westbrook to the Lakers for their top-5 draft pick

OKC would be completely stupid to do that. Durant will leave them in a heart beat if they do.

Westbrook was 10-for-31 shooting tonight. They will blame him if they lose this series, and he may force his way out to his hometown of Los Angeles

Take way more than a top 5 pick to get a top 4 PG in the league and the most athletic PG in the history of the league.

Re: Around the NBA 4.0
Westbrook and Durant aren't good fits together, Durant needs a pass first PG than can score, not a shoot first, 2nd and 3rd point guard

Not when that top-5 pick might be the much hyped Andrew Wiggins, or maybe even Dante Exum

that play Brooks drew up was terrible, should've had Durant driving to the rim where he could either try to finish/get fouled or stop and shoot a short jumper
