NBA Thread

What do the last 3 seasons have to do with the current LAC team? Were JJ, Dudley, Sjax on the team last year?
 
LOL at talking about Dudley/Sjax. Bledsoe was more important to that team than all of those guys. If you're holding your hat on the Clippers being good based on those two guys (two guys who wouldn't even crack the Thunder 10-11 man rotation) then more power to you. Clippers are not in the dicussion for winning a NBA title.

Roberson, Thabeet, Adams, Fisher, Lamb, Perry, Thabo, Collison

The only person on your bench I'd take over him is Jackson.

Roberson is only playing becuase of Thabos injury. The real Thunder 10 man unit is:

KD
RW
Ibaka
Perk (wish he wasn't)
Thabo
RJ
Lamb
Collison
Adams
Fisher

Maybe he plays over Fisher, even though Fisher does a lot of positive things, but he wouldn't play over any of those other guys. Each guy in that rotation plays a key role in the Thunder success, well aside from Perk but unfortunately Brooks is behind the 8 ball on that.

And how many rings do they have? If they don't win again this year, what's the excuse?

The top 3 players are 24, 25, and 25.

That is crazy in itself.

It takes alot to win a ring, i still think they need one more piece though.
 
Thunder don't need another piece. THey just need to get better organically and that will happen as the season progresses. Ibaka/RJ/Lamb/Adams will all be better come playoff time.
 
Thats true, but i still think they need one more piece.

Afflalo would fit them perfect but the cost would be alot, im sure.

Ibaka is the main key to being that consistent 3rd option.

I just don't see the need for another piece. Thunder have a legit 5 scoring options and so many guys who provide defense/screening/etc....

KD/RW just do so much that these other guys don't need do anything crazy. In the playoffs the Thunder will probably get 60 PPG between the two of those guys. Lets say Ibaka gives you 13-16. You are talking about needing 25-30 points from Jackson/Lamb/Adams/Perk(ugh)/Collison. I just don't see how any team keeps OKC under 100 once these young kids get some more experience. The best thing though this year is the defense. The Thunder are taking that next step as an elite defensive team. When Adams/Ibaka are in together their frontcourt is so difficult to deal with. The rim is basically sealed.
 
Agree a little bit with the Clippers.

Mainly with Bledsoe.

The Paul/Bledsoe lineup was deadly, especially on defense.

Solid comeback as always. Just watch the Thunder play some. Dudley would not sniff more than 10 minutes a game and thats only because so many games are blowouts.

Only comeback you can give to someone who says one of the best shooters/defenders in the NBA over the last 3 years wouldn't get run, over the scrubs on OKCs bench.

its funny that you consider guys like Collison/Lamb/Thabo/Adams scrubes.
 
Trade isn't happening, some LA dude made it up. Lakers called on Shump, Knicks said no. Only way trade happens is if Lakers take JR.

I am guessing you are talking about the Thunder? They have two top five players in the league on their squad. What else do they need to win the finals?
