houston

agree. houston is what i wanted the thunder to be after 2012. put serge at c, kd at pf, thabo sf, harden sg, westbrook pg. and let it rip. that was our destiny.

as good as they are, houston isn't as good as what that team could have been. a sterile and calculatedly cerebral approach to the game. plus james harden! once a thunder, always a thunder.

Sterile is not what I find in my sports.

In the west for me... I'm not so sure. Maybe Portland....

East is easy for me. Either Boston or Philly. I really want to see how Philly looks in the postseason. They can do some damage.

I like Portland too. Philly or Indy out east, or the Raps.

I’m going for Utah. They lost their best player and might be even better this year. I’ve got a lot of respect for their front office and head coach.

Getting pretty annoyed at single digit FGA for Adams. Feed the beast.

Russ with a ballistic performance. When this guy has it going, he truly enters the top 5 category.

Our guys would be badass at nba tack and field day.

At least they made their FTs. Only reason they were in it. When they do, they can hang with anyone.

They're first for me too. For those same reasons and I love Gobert.

And DEN about to win. They’d only be 1.5 games behind.

If Exum is the real deal and can stay healthy, they are my pick to win the northwest division next year. To me, Utah is the less obnoxious version of Celtics. Good balance of coaching, vets and young guys.

UTA needs to send that DEN FO to the nicest restaurant every year for giving them the two core pieces they’re going to build around.

The worst part is that most NBA fans will blame Russ for not being able to lead a team with ''good players''. He didn't play as well as last year and was terrible during first 15-20 games but he's not the one to blame if we miss the playoffs.

thunder brought this on themselves with the ridiculous hubris concerning the 'OK3'.

This has been the worst season to be a thunder fan. What hurts more is the promise we all saw as the season started.
After we lose in the 1st round. (If we get to the post season) we will:
be stuck with Melo. A terrible shooter (now) who cant play a lick of D.
Say goodbye to PG who has been 50% of what he thought he would be.
Be Capped to the max.

Feel bad for Sammy. He did what he and the general public thought were good moves.

2-5 since that great TOR win. With every high they come crashing down. And they’ve been in every game. Each loss 4 points or less.

Make their FTs and they probably have the 4 seed locked up. Right now, they’re fighting for their playoff lives.

Pillendreher · Post #38 » by **Pillendreher** » Wed Apr 4, 2018 10:12 am

How about they make some open shots for once? Since the Toronto game, they're 67/196 on open and wide open 3s. George and Melo went 5/27 on uncontested shots last night.

We have no chance if they keep this up.

this team had 0% chance at anything once he got hurt.

That's hilarious. The team is clearly better with Brewer out there and you're acting as if they weren't losing a bunch of games and games to bad teams (many of them blowouts) with Roberson in the starting lineup. One thing for sure is they haven't gotten blown out since Brewer was put in the starting lineup. Houston beat them by 10 but that's not really a blowout and every other game they've been in it with a chance to win. Losing Roberson did absolutely nothing except actually make the team better. I will take losing a little on defense over Roberson's laughably bad offense. Brewer is averaging 10.2 points per game as opposed to Roberson's 5 and he forces other teams to actually guard him. No more of teams being able to play 5 against 4 every game.

What the hell happened to Paul George after the All-Star beak, before that you could count on him showing up for the big games or at the least giving 110% in them even if his shot is off, now he seems like he doesn't care in all games and has forgotten how to dribble and shoot. He is shooting 31% on wide open threes since ASB, this is just unreal (it was 51% before that).
