Who was the great team they had to play this year in the playoffs?

OKC!

Oh wait, that great team didn't make it.

Are you saying it's easy to win the West and then beat the best player in basketball?

You thought the Cavs were a good team when they made it to the finals.

Again, what team did they beat that you would consider good? The Spurs/Clips in my eyes were much better than the Rockets. And if OKC is healthy they are better than either of those teams.

The Cavs were awful without Kyrie/Love. One of the worst finals teams I could remember only to be bested by coincidentally enough Lebrons last Cavs final team.

GS beat NO- 45-37 (and a top 5 player in the NBA)
GS beat Memphis 55-27) Not good, LOL!
GS beat Houston 56-26, again not good, LOL

All 4 teams had similar reacords (LAC, SA, Mem, Hou) yet Houston beat the Clips

So teams can't improve or regress at all?

I just can't argue with you. You've continually hyped up the Grizz over the past 2 years now all of a sudden they aren't a good team 4 months after saying they are a great team. The constant moving of goal posts makes it impossible.

So a team that went 30-17 after those comments and beat Portland in 5 games in the playoffs and whose only changes were to ADD Jeff Green went from great to not good?

Lamb has been traded for Matt Barnes and Luke Ridnour on back to back days lollllllllllllll

[chop2chip]

Trade is finally official:

James Harden to the Rockets for Luke Ridnour and Steven Adams

Deal looks good on paper for the Thunder. Let's see how it works out.

Really enjoy the sarcasm in this one.

McGary is part of that deal and I believe they used one of the picks to get Abrines as well who is considered to be a NBA player.

[Heyward]

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO

The NBA is figuring out the WORLD CHAMPS!

Holy ****.

Somewhat.

Cavs coaches did a good job limiting them on offense with an injured team.

Still think they beat GS if they had Love/Irving but thats another story.

McGary is part of that deal and I believe they used one of the picks to get Abrines as well who is considered to be a NBA player.

So we still have to wait, ya?

GS did have a pretty easy run, no im not saying OKC beats them.

But they avoided SA who beats them imo, and LA was a tougher matchup than Hou. Had bigs with DeAndre and Blake, and that CP3 guy.

And Cle was obviously injured.

That definitely could sway the deal to the Thunder's favor.

[gilesfan]

Yeah, of course LAC and SA are so great and Houston and Memphis are crap. Makes a **** ton of sense if you are dense.

lol nice sarcasm, they got a 2016 2nd from Charlotte as well, and Abrines.

But horrible deal either way.

Wait for what? Thunder were never going to get equal value for someone who I've always believed was a superstar. But, you can't just look at who Harden is now and say thats who he would have been on the Thunder. OKC believed and still does that the trio of KD/RW/Ibaka is the core and they wanted to build a deep team around them. Whether or not that plan succeeds will depend on this season.

[thethe]

That definitely could sway the deal to the Thunder's favor.

Who ever said the trade would be in the Thunders favor?
