Per NBA.com Clutch Time Stats (Last 5 minutes of the game with a 5 point or less differential):

Damian Lillard: 37.5% 3FG%, 0.1 TOV
Russell Westbrook: 21.3% 3FG%, 0.4 TOV

So, Dame shoots slightly better than his season average on 3-pointers with the game on the line. Russ shoots 8 percentage points worse than his already abysmal season average, and commits 4 times as many TOVs.

That, ladies and gentlemen, is the difference between Lillard Time and Westbrook Hero Ball.

It was. Imagine if we had Lopez as Nurks backup.

Wow. Phoenix is up 17 at the half against Houston.
 
Eastern Conference Playoffs are gonna be great! With a loss today, Cleveland would be 4th, maybe 5th (PHI will win, and idk who holds the tiebreaker between CLE and IND).

What an interesting playoff series that would be. The surprise Pacers with HCA in the 1st round against LeBron and the Cavaliers.

Cavs would sweep probably.
 
Hot take: Paul George is garbage

Pacers got better when he left and Thunder didn't improve at all when they got him.

Why? They've been bad this year. Indiana's been slept on and they're basically the Portland of the east in terms of the lack of respect they get.

Cavs finished last year pretty badly too. LeBron knows how to win in playoffs. He has never lost in the first round. Oladipo has never won in the first round. I would root for Pacers to make it a series but if you have a gun to your head, you pick Cavs in a sweep. And Blazers are way better than Pacers, geesh. And I wouldn't pick us to beat Cavs in first round either. Cavs are tough in playoffs.

Nowhere there do I say that the Nuggets are trash. I said that they suck which at your age, you must know is a good thing.

They also had Kyrie. LeBron is older than he's ever been (duh) and has the worst defensive group he's ever had... When he had those "scrub" teams before he left for Miami, those teams could at least defend at a respectable level. This team? Awful defensively. They'll get lit up in the postseason.

LeBron is better than he has ever been quite frankly and he doesn't need Kyrie to win a first round series against Indiana. Now, after the first round? Who knows? But if you had to bet a million dollars, you'd still probably put it on the Cavs to make the Finals. You'd THINK about Toronto but you'd pick LeBron. 7 straight NBA Finals is no joke. He still has Kevin Love and JR Smith and Tristan Thompson and they're deeper offensively with Green, Clarkson, and Nance.

What a silly ass post.

Indiana had Jeff Teague and Rodney Stuckey at PG last year... They upgraded to Collison and Joseph.
They added a starting caliber big in Sabonis.
They added a very good scorer in Bogdanovic...

Oladipo and George are about even right now. Thunder didn't improve because they lost as much as they got, and no matter who you put next to Russ, he'll freeze them out. Plus, Russ was a lot better last year.

This post makes 0 sense.
 
Also- keep in mind, without Kyrie or IT, the Cavs went 18-1 early in the season just for fun and LeBron was probably like "oh we're good" and then they got better with the trades if not overwhelmingly better.
