Paul George just doesn't fit the Thunder at all... idk why they don't run the 2nd team through him at least though? He needs the ball and Russ/Melo are Bogarding it.
 
The Thunder could and probably will get it together by the All star break but Im taking great joy in watching them struggle early on. I don't know if I "really" wanted Melo but after losing out on PG I was so pissed when we didn't get Melo.
 
Knicks playing some cool basketball this season, and Garden is buzzing. Porzingis, who was apparently disgruntled before the season, seems to be relishing his leaders role and Kanter who they got for Melo has been balling. Even McDermott has actually been good so far too.

The league is so fun this year. If you took Golden State out of equation you would basically be looking at 8 or 10 teams who could win championship. It's such a shame Durant went to Warriors because with him somewhere else GS would not even be favourites either.
 
CJ lookin CLEAN ADONAL FOYLE in this pic!

We should merge teams with Pelicans. Our frontcourt is not good enough, their backcourt is awful. Have Lillard and CJ in the backcourt with Davis and Cousins in the frontcourt = domination even if you have to make compromises at SF.
 
I hope Kevin Durant breaks both his legs.

That is all.

Honestly.. Go with a lineup of

Lillard
McCollum
Davis
Cousins
Nurkic
 
An easy viewpoint that will help some of those who are getting upset about results:
A 6 or 7 seed is hypothetically better than a 5 seed. Why?

Because we would have just as good of a chance of beating a 2 or 3 seed as we would the 4 seed. I honestly think we can beat anyone in a playoff series other than Golden State. We'd have more of a chance (albeit, small) of making the WCF if we were a 6 or 7 seed. If Olshey makes a solid trade at the trade deadline, I could see us having a chance at beating the 3 seeded Rockets in the 1st round as Harden and Paul choke in playoffs and our defense neutralizes their shooting, and then beating the 2 seeded Spurs in the 2nd round as Nurkic beasts on the interior against Pau Gasol and Aldridge while are new starting SF (who we traded for) does a solid job on Kawhi.

Idk, not a likely scenario, but more likely we reach the WCF as a 6 or 7 seed than as a 4 or 5 seed.

So just as long as we're not 8th, I'm happy. A 6 or 7 seed means a better draft pick too.
 
CJ posted up at the world famous West 4th Street Courts in lower Manhattan. Love that place!
