lololol I know some Thunder fans who are proclaiming that this is the best Thunder team they've seen and that they're untouchable.
 
Have fun with your second or CF exit, Thunder fans. NOT the best team in the West, at all.

Really hope to see a Pacers/Spurs Finals. Should have been last years if stern wasn't around.

On that note this is David Sterns last year as commish and I am stoked for this new cat

I too am excited to see Stern leave. They say he's allowing Silver to implement some of his own choices to the league this season, and the only downside I've seen so far (and I have no idea if it's Silver, anyway) is the return to calling constant offensive fouls. I hope that's just an early season trend and that it goes away, because it really cleaned the league up last year.
 
Anybody think the Pacers could win 70 games? I doubt they will, but it's definitely possible.

If anyone will it's them.
 
Stellar defense with so many scoring options.

This thread took a turn for the funny with the Stern bashing

I think their positions are too different to really choose, but who's better between D12 and Russell Westbrook?
 
I underestimated just how good Dwight is before he joined Houston. The way he single-handedly controls a game is absolutely amazing, imo.

Dwight hasn't been the same since leaving Orlando.
 
Gimmie Westbrook all day. He's like Rose, maybe a little less talented, but in the right system he would shine.

Looks like the George/Leonard trade worked out for both squads. I think the Spurs ended up getting more out of Leonard though as he is a lockdown defender and can score. George seems to be a liability on defense still. He's got beat so many times already this season.

Been hearing talk about Curry got robbed not being an all star last year and that he should be this year. But until he performs on both ends of the floor the only thing I respect is his shot.

You should probably indicate that you meant George Hill, not Paul George lol

Demarcus Cousins has turned himself into a top 3 center in this league.

Dwight is healthy and as good as he ever was, right now. His stats would be higher if he had to carry Houston like he had to carry Orlando.

Dwight isn't playing as good as he ever has, but he has been better than he was last season.
