We will see. He is certainly a project but less of one than when he was drafted.

I really hope Ibaka is healthy. Duncan is basically shut down by Ibaka.

Not sure if we can beat them without him.

Didn't you say Ibaka would shut down Blake?
 
Do you still think Jordan/Griffin > Gasol/ZBo OFFENSIVELY?

Re: Giles.

Blake is a top 5 player, he did as good as you could ask for all things considered.
 
Assuming Ibaka is out for the rest of the playoffs, SA in 5 most likely.

Congrats to SA on winning the West, good luck to them against the Heat in all likelyhood.

Of course you would take Blake/Jordan offensively and defensively.

Thunder still have a good chance to beat SA withoiut Ibaka. Its a definite with Ibaka healthy. They have nobody that can come close to stopping Westbrook.

Thats just silly. Jordan can't do anything but dunk offensively. He was an afterthought this series.

Having Blake and a donkey next to him would be better offensively than Memphis.

Would you take Durant/Thabo offensively over Leonard/Ginobilli?

You have to admit though..>Westbrook was phenomenal in round 2.

At times. At other he was awful...throwing up long 3s at the worst times (including the weak foul call on Paul). He was more concerned with taking Paul one on one than helping Durant and others get involved.

Durant is on fire and begging for the ball and Westbrook would still refuse to give it up.

I think you underrate how good Gasol is. Blake is clearly a top 5 player now but Jordan is such a negative that it makes it closer than you think.

Westbrook helps KD tremendously. What about all the fouls that he draws? Don't you think that contributes to how many FT's KD shoots?

They also have tremendous cohesion when Westbrook is passing the ball and every year it gets better.

Westbrook is not this negative on the team as you guys describe. Its so confusing to me how you continue to do that. Does Westbrook do ridiculous things at times? Absolutely. But he is an incredible player that if healthy will end up a top 50 guy. You just don't see players make the plays that he makes. Its not common.
 
This makes no sense....why the **** does it matter how Jordan and Dwight score? They are athletic freaks....if you can't stop DJ from dunking, you know what? That **** still counts the same as a 15 foot jumper.

Its eaiser to defense that than defense someone like Gasol/Randolph. Jordan was well below his season averages.
