My guess is Harrison Barnes is traded.

Seems like the obvious choice....I assume they will shop Klay and Lee as well

No, is Melo better than Love?

Melo is closer to Love than Hibbert is to Dwight

[Heyward]

Clippers bench is so much better than the Thunders. This blowout might actually help the Thunder by getting their starters some rest.

Thats why i dont blame Brooks as much as some others.

He's not working with a full-deck.

The bench is pretty much defensive players other than Reggie.

Bench needs to be upgraded this summer via draft and/or FA.

You should add Marc Gasol to your sig, not Hibbert.

Are you trying to say you didn't say that?

[Heyward]

Tough game, they'll probably get torched by someone else but Paul making eight 3's or whatever it was insane.

May not happen the rest of his career, he'll get his but his game isnt the 3-pt shot.

Much rather wanted GS over LAC.

Only advantage OKC has over LAC is KD, other than that, the Clippers outmatch them everywhere else.

I did, i said Marc too.

You dont say dumb things?

Or no?

You and Giles both said Houston would win the West, and lost in the 1st freaking Round.

That's cool though, right but me saying Hibbert while AT THE TIME is the best C in the NBA. No one saw Indy collapsing like they did.

Find me where I said they would win the West. I remember arguing they would be top 4, they finished.......4th.


No problem firing Mark Jackson. He's not a good coach and that is a heck of a talented team. Instead of doing Xs and Ox, he's telling all the players they "deserve to win." The NBA is more Xs and Ox than motivational.

I'm not gonna bother to look for it but i remember you said it.

Not worth looking for.

You know there is a difference between making a prediction and saying something is a fact, right?

I picked Houston to win the West....I did not say Houston will no doubt win the west.

So Durant won a MVP award today.

You think i said Hibbert as the best C was a no-doubt/fact statement.

Or maybe i was just trolling

Not much of a surprise, MVP race has been over for 3-4 months.

Lol k.

[yeezus]

I think its more of an issue if there aren't enough really good teams. If anyone can upset anyone then who is really good?

What? That doesn't make sense. Like most things you say. There are a lot of good players on every team, and some elite guys scattered throughout. The fact is, though, it's such a team sport, that one or two really good players don't mean anything.

[yeezus]

All those teams lost more games than they won.

Only Detroit had a negative differential and made the playoffs, every team that missed it had a negative differential.

LOL counting SO losses, are we? That just means the game was a toss-up, further proving my point.
If you come close to 90 points, you're a pretty good team.
Now, teams like Boston and Pittsburgh are elite. The West has so many good, experience teams it's really hard to decipher who's actually the best. Hence the playoffs. The best team usually ends up winning.

Hey thethe & Heyward do those Net regular season wins vs the Heat still mean anything? Lol

I don't think anyone in their right mind thought Brooklyn would win this series. That doesn't mean BK wasn't a good team this year.

Why are you being a dick all of a sudden? Stop that BS.

Everything in life basically fits into a bell curve. If you have too many teams in the center then there really aren't any good teams. The only way you gauge ability is against current competition.
