Middleton should be ridiculed for his lack of swag. Dude was just painted black as a baby. NEeds to take a shower and play for team Russia as Christiana Middletona
 
OKC lost to the Rockets again. They had the lead most of the game, and Christian Wood went out after nine minutes, but they couldn't hold on. Granted, OKC didn't have Giddey to create plays and space, but wow they are awful to watch lately. SGA's 3-ball and shot selection are considerably worse this season. He doesn't have a CP3 or Al Horford to help take the load off anymore, and it shows. He's trying to do too much, forcing things, and isn't the same efficient smooth operator he was before.

I'm so glad the Cavs and Love are fun and winning again, because OKC is a special kind of b-ball torture for me right now. Other than those Ws against the Lakers, there's been very little to get excited about.

My deepest sympathies on being an OKC fan, I can't imagine. May I suggest a deep dive into Evan Mobley highlights and interviews, as well as monitoring Kevin Love's bench scoring? It may cheer you up.
 
I think I’ve watched 2 Warriors game this season.

So…what’s going on there? How are they so good. Again!

First in points per game allowed and 2nd in points per game scored. They've really bought into the defensive end this season. Wiggins and Poole are having excellent seasons along with Steph being Steph. Klay appears to be back and should be playing soon. They haven't gotten anything out of Kuminga, Moody and Wiseman, they could all be moved for immediate help.
 
I'll go on record now that even with their record, the Warriors are pretenders without swinging a trade for a legitimate stud using their young players and draft assets. Just simply not enough on that roster to beat good teams 4 out of 7 times in the postseason.

ETA: Klay looking like his prime self could also be that piece, but I'm extremely skeptical that he's going to come back an all-star after missing 2 years with an ACL and and achilles.
 
People think Lebron became this big, strong, conditioned, skilled, etc just by being born. Nah man, he worked and works the hardest. Harder than anyone.

The difference between Lebron and Luka is that Lebron had it hard in life. No father, no money, no structure. He set himself a goal and he accomplished it and still has his sights on another milestone. Luka otoh, was raised like a king. His father Sasa Doncic, a former professional Slovenian basketball player raised him well and surrounded him with a structure that had provided him with everything from a very early age. He has been a top dog at the ripe age of 16 playing on one of the best teams in Europe. Things come easy for Luka in life.

Actually, I suppose Mobley himself refutes that. Stable family, coach's son, private school, etc..

That was not a theory of projecting success or trajectory between a player with good structure and family to a one who doesn't.

It's just a hypothesis of mine of these two players from my limited experience of watching them two from their very early careers. I can say that I have watched and followed Luka more than most people. I believe how Luka turned out to be, mentally (more so than Lebron) is a result of different background and how he was raised and pampered. It's not a scientific equation, but merely a belief.
 
The Warriors system and how they defend continue to amaze.

What a culture…

They have 3 young pieces to potentially move for a veteran as well so they can extend Steph’s window…

This Poole dude is a little mini Curry and they actually made Gary Payton ll a decent contributor…

They should trade their pieces for Windler...
