Lol some of these dudes... Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler " Spoiler Spoiler https://twitter.com/PrinceAdair/status/1120179734502096896?ref_src=twsrc^tfw Spoiler: Welp... seems like Westbrook really needs more help afterall...time for Presti to trade Ferguson and Grant for Davis, and Schroder for Beal.
LOL Harden had his worst shooting night yesterday and still scored 22 points on 20 shots. This fool scored 1 point in the 2nd half for 14 pts on 20 shots. Let that sink in. And despite all this nobody in the media has the balls to call him out because you know..he dunks the ball hard and stuff rivht
He’s completely filling the void that was left by Nurkic. Kanter has always been a gifted offensive player and he’s holding his on defensively against Adams as well. But then it comes back to Billy D and you wonder why he isn’t doing more to take advantage of the slow feet of Kanter.
Everyone: PLAYER EMPHATICALLY DUNKS ---- Wow! he is clutch. he is awesome. top 5! Also everyone: HARDEN - FOULED - 2 FTS --- What a little b****. Flopper! Cheating the game! Terrible for the nba.
Westbrook at this point of his career is a net negative. Sure he gives you a triple double every night, but that means very little in the W/L column. After a decade in the league he still makes very questionable decisions especially at the end of games and he takes a ton of low percentage shots. His defense and athleticism have both declined and will only decline further. In addition he's vastly overpaid with that monster contract he has. I don't know why you would want him on your team except for the fact that he can generate some headlines. If I were the Thunder management I'd try very hard to dump Westbrook this summer. Call the New York Knickerbockers.
Swap harden and Westbrook and the thunder are better and the rockets are worse. Harden would turn Adams into a 17/13 player.
Think Harden going to LA is more likely to be happening than going back to the Thunder. They might go to LA together, that is actually a scenario that I can see happening, maybe not now. They are good friends.
If OKC had Lillard instead of Russ for their tenure, would they have a championship already ??! Eta- I actually posted this before seeing @Mr. Space City comment 2 posts prior ^^^
Nope, Lillard is little Curry but not Curry himself. Maybe if Lillard was 6'5 he has a chance at the WCF. As long as there are Rockets and Warriors he won't have much chance, maybe he demands a trade to the East! And OKC has never convinced me with finding the right role players. Not recently.
Lillard has proven being more clutch than Curry IMO, regular and playoffs.,.. and has proven more success with lesser players. That's not saying Curry couldn't be better with lesser players, just saying Lillard has already done it.
A closer does not make teammates better, a playmaker does. A closer just helps a team win on his own when the game is close or to extend the lead. Blazers have one of the best benches IMO from what I have seen. Definitely Top 3 bench in the West. Maybe behind Clippers and Nuggets.
You can never count them out though. To answer that, I feel Lillard is too short. He isn't as skilled as CP3. They paired him up with another smaller guard in McCollum. I still feel Curry is the better shooter. Most importantly, I dun think the Blazers have a good enough management and their owner recently died too. It is not easy to win a championship, much harder to repeat or threepeat. So yeah I give you that, I feel he has a better chance of making the Finals in the East.
This dude went 5-21 in tonight's game and 5-20 in game 2 and ofcourse no one talks about it. Harden went 3-20 for the first time in his life and got the W and people ***** all over him. Still can wrap my head around the fact they gave this dude the MVP couple of years ago, un****ing real man!!!
