Already seeing some ridiculous home cooking in this OKC-GSW game. Refs are doing their best to keep the Thunder from getting too big a lead in this first quarter, but angry Russ is on fire so far.
 
This is freaking insane. I'm more impressed with what Russ is doing tonight than what CJ did in the first against Chicago.
 
The temp is heating up, I wonder who will blow there fuse first between warriors/thunder.

How the hell is Klay on the AS team?

Perhaps because they consider defense as well and since Thompson is one of the best perimeter defenders in the league, that qualifies. That and being a very good '3' pt shooter. Sure his number have dropped since Durant showed up but he's no less of a player.

He got selected over Paul George initially. Not a single rational reason for that choice. PG is better in pretty much every aspect

Draymond just threwWestbrook into the stanchion and hit him in the face. No call

These refs are fucking awful.

Draymond has shown repeatedly that he can do just about anything he wants (except to LeBron) and the refs/league just allow it. Very weak.
 
Trash Warriors have been playing decent ball lately. I expected them to get destroyed by Jazz but they ended up only losing by 30. Nuggets needed miracle shot to beat them. And now they're within 13 of the Thunder team that is only on a four game losing streak. I've changed my mind. I think the trash warriors will make the playoffs. It would shock me, though, if they get out of the first round. They can't beat the teams that they'd be facing. But making the playoffs is a reward in and of itself. They have a lot to be proud of what with four All Stars and all.
 
Honestly, without injuries to Love, Kawhi, and Kyrie, does Steph Curry have any championship jewelry?
 
How you guys question Westbrook’s greatness as a player is beyond me. He is amazing!

I have always said this, I think he is over rated. He’s not an all star. Defenses don’t scheme against him. Give him his own team, I don’t think he could do much with it

His defense is overrated as well. He's a glorified, slightly better version of prime Wes Matthews.
 
I’d take Klay, but only if we trade for Love first. “PNW kids take Blazers to within one game of the second round before choking”, can see the headlines already.

I know Klay grew up in Cali but in this post I’m focusing on his time in Pullman

Meh. He's a better shooting, worse defending Bruce Bowen.
Okay, he can dribble better than Bruce, too.
