    I don't know about that. They will be good for a while (LAC) but they have no depth. Once Blake and CP3 come off the floor it should even out a bunch.

    Probably true but that won't mean much in the playoffs. As much as I hate to say it, I believe the Lakers are better built for the playoffs than the Clippers right now

    This year is OKC's year. Miami will have about 4 or 5 losses going into the playoffs, meet up with OKC in the finals and OKC will destroy them.

    Personally, the OKC team lives and dies off of Russell Westbrook. And as we saw in last year's playoffs, that's not a good thing since your best player is Kevin Durant.

    I think they have grown, and in my opinion the actual key to that team is James Harden. Westbrook can drive the hoop on anyone, he just needs to look to kickout more. Durant will get his 30 a game, but if James Harden can score double figures in the playoffs, I'll take OKC against anyone.

    Yeah they showed me something in the playoffs this past season, that they are going to be a great team for as long as they keep the big 2 there. Ive never seen anyone as fast as Westbrook to the hoop.

    I don't doubt Westbrook's talent but the guy took EVERY SINGLE SHOT down the stretch against the Mavs and totally killed any hopes of coming back against them. KD needs to get the ball in those situations and go from there. Eric Maynor is the better true point guard IMO. Harden is starter worthy but I like him off the bench as a spark.

    Do NOT sleep on Memphis. They are scary good and now have Gay back in the lineup.

    aint nobody sleepin on 'em. in fact the thunderstruck theme will not be played much tonight.


    also the thunderclap should have gotten paul and dumped westbrook, the free safety. im glad the hornets didnt end up with him but I would have been excited to see that duo for the next 5 years.

    also, durant has to stop being a lebron pussy and demand the ball. I dont think MJ ever had to sit his scrubs down and say hey, i was open. that dude looked at you and that was enough. pass it back and take a seat. thanks.
