Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Siakam is a great story. Love it when guys work their way to stardom. Toronto is good at player development. I think they screwed up when they traded Valanciunas though
I don't. They essentially let LeBron "son" them, so they turned DeRozan and Valanciunas into Kawhi and Marc Gasol. I picked them the win the East. They would beat Milwaukee imo. The only cause for concern is I know how clutch Kyrie can be.
 
Should be no debate, he's definitely better than Westbrook. Destroyed him in this series.

Second best point guard in the game. George played great, but not enough.

Lillard with 50. Damn.

Thunder need to rethink their whole roster outside of PG13 and Westbrook.

They need to rethink Westbrook. Yikes. His game just is a liability.

No matter how talented and unique he is. Turns the ball over way too much, plays too wreckless, and isn't a very good shooter. Very inefficient.

I don't know what they do TBH. You can't give him away and not really sure he'd fetch much TBH. He's not that young anymore. If they're going to keep him then they better surround him with nothing but sharp shooters.
 
Completely disagree with Chuckster. Move Westbrook to shooting guard and start Schroder? Fuck no.... That would be worse!!!

First thing the Thunder got to do is fire Donovan. He's an awful head coach.

I don't really think you can trade Westbrook. I'd listen to offers, I just don't really see it though. You can't rebuild, you got George locked up.

You got to bring in a better coach, that maybe, maybe can talk some sense into him. Don't mind him playing point guard because he's good at making plays for others. But you got to try to find a coach that can talk some sense into him. Because the way he's going just won't cut it. Not sure he'll listen to anyone.

They got to put nothing but shooters around him though. The Thunder are kinda stuck. If Westbrook can't change his ways, they can't get very far.

A coach who can get him to stop stealing rebounds from his bigs and run on the fucking break
 
Dame time.


That dude was so fucking cold blooded and Russell Westbrook is the most overrated player in NBA history.

Can't believe people don't mention this more. If he was less concerned with rebounding, and would get his ass down the floor they would score a lot more in transition. I'd love to see how much added value a great rebounding guard has, I bet it is is not much at all. Especially on the defensive end, your bigs will get those.

I agree the answer isn't moving Schroder to the starting PG. I also agree Donovan has to go and they need to get more shooters around Westbrook and George. They really should see what they can get for Schroder and Steven Adams.

I would possibly understand if they had weak stretch bigs who couldn’t rebound but they got Steven fucking Adams the strongest guy in the league...
 
Kevin Durant reminds me of that really rich friend you have who can’t make it in the real world after college so they take a job at daddy’s business because he’ll automatically get a supervisory position and can take time off and perks whenever they want. It’s shitty of me I guess but had he not gone to the warriors I would have had a lot more respect for him. I think people won’t talk about Kevin Durant (yrs down the road) but they’ll talk about how stacked the warriors were overall.

Honestly, that's a lot closer to describing older ring-chasing vets who no longer are capable of being starters, but they want a ring so they go somewhere to be a backup. Durant is more like the Daddy's kid who joins the business and triples its worth. It's obviously more impressive to build your own business from the ground up, but making a successful business much more successful is still a pretty big achievement.
 
Without Durant and the 2015 injuries to the Cavs, the original Warriors squad would never have won a single championship
 
Can't believe pops didn't foul right away that last possession. Extend the game!
