[Calm Down] Sitting at .667 and 3rd Seed

Yeah …. high expectations. Some of us have them , some don't.

This is a team that has the best offensive player perhaps in the history of the league and another League MVP on its roster - the expectations should be high.


My kids call me a hardass cause I have high expectations …. but they usually meet them so ….
​

When you saw the final opening day roster did you really buy a 10 man rotation ? I didn't.


Most of this teams problems are personnel related. They just aren't very good beyond the top 7 players and are missing a piece to the puzzle among that top 7 in a big forward who's productive.

Harden
Westbrook
Capela
Tucker
House
Rivers
EG

Outside of that top 7 .... Two guys are "playable" (on occasion)

McLemore
Chandler

Then you have the rest of the roster …. 7 guys who give you pretty much nothing.

Nene
Anderson
Thabo
Green
Clark
Hartenstein
Clemons.

And they have little to no trade value.


I dunno how Morey solves this one. They really need a starting caliber 4 in the worst way (without giving up their top 7).

I'm with you … accept for the bolded part. The bottom half of this roster is …. pretty much worthless.

The injury to GG hurt a lot …. not having a quality player at the 4 is definitely a big deal.

7 players mostly on minimum contracts that give you next to nothing on a nightly basis - that's a lot to overcome.


Obligatory Tilman is cheap ….​

 

Still holding to this prediction?
