I guess lou williams and eric gordon are mvp lol.
Ol boy. The russell westbrook hatred is deep. grin grin
Lol. Who in that OKC team can run and drop 10pts in less than 3 mins. What were they looking at when the Rockets even with Gordon and Nene on their bench still went out and got Sweet Lou. Instead they ran to go and comically overpay Adams and Oladipo

common two minutes rest, see nonsense wey them they play. I don tire.
If I'm Westbrook I'm packing my bags and leaving that useless team. I don't think he would last as long as he should in this league if he continues at this rate.

You dont think westbrook is partly the problem? Considering the skilled big men on this team are invisible at crunch time, I say you have to blame the pg
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 3:38am On Apr 26, 2017
Im not sure if I want westbrook to foul out. His game seems to be helping us more than hurting us

Told you that franchise is sick.. A franchise that once had Harden, Westbrook and Durant and let Harden go because of $4M but quick to give Russell and others so much just to sign, watch ninja turtle head ass MVP ball all alone out of his mind for 82 games without thinking he'll need so much support in the playoffs.. undecided

If we ask Donovan or Russ how many times had Taj Gibson and Steven Adams been involved in a pick and roll offense this series they'll say those guys can't play. Maybe Donovan don't need them big men since he has Russ. If I said the truth you wrote up there, they'll say we're hating.

Of course he is. However if not for Westbrook this game is a bloodbath not a nailbiter. You can see he has no belief in his teammates. Is that justified? I'd let u tell it

Aburo,

I need your input on a question i posed in the previous page.
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 3:54am On Apr 26, 2017
I think this is the most deflated Ive seen westbrook
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 3:55am On Apr 26, 2017
D'Antoni took donovan to school. Good game though, but if Rockets struggles to beat a one man team.. Almost all the game came down to the wire by the way, how will they fare against better teams?

The whole clippers team is cursed. It is always something wrong with them. Kobe retired, and these guys still ain't the face of LA. grin

Sapiosexual1 and Donlittle, this is the almighty Thunder Roster.

Lou Williams has no chance against Alex Abrines
Oladipo will desecrate Eric Gordon
When Patrick Beverly sees Semaj Christon, he shivers
I'm not even going to talk on how McDermott, Singler and Roberson will pepper Ariza and Ryan Anderson
I pity Nene on the boards, what Adams will do to him ehn sad

All Star gang cool

I have a question/ analogy for everyone particularly critics of Russell Westbrook

With other dynamics remaining constant(Coaching, players, and style of play), remove and replace Russell Westbrook with any current NBA superstar not named Lebron James, and convince me the NBA super star would take this Thunder roster to a 6th position in the dreaded western conference.

I need a name replacement, not named Lebron James.

Lol even LeBron sef e no sure for am for that West with that OKC lineup. I'm looking at prime Chris Paul based on his New Orleans days, prime Dirk, Steph Curry.

Those for me have at least mirrored that ability in the past. The rest na speculation

Probably knee jerk reaction from the Finals loss to the Heat, Harden's play in that series made him dispensable. Remember he was even a 6th man. This life ehn! In hindsight Ibaka is probably the guy they should have let go.

Re: The NBA Begins by SIRcumalot: 4:47am On Apr 26, 2017
I predicted a clean sweep for this thunder-OKC series.
they should try and get some all star whose stock don fall a little this off season, maybe Blake Griffin,his from Oklahoma.
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 4:52am On Apr 26, 2017
To roland17s question, any pg averaging 8+ assists and can drop 25 points nightly will do. Dont even look at cp3...lillard will do. I will even give marco rubio side eye.

With adams and kanter and serviceble shooters, this team should have done more damage. The way they lost leads in this series was crazy. Slashers and specialists like Oladipo never got into a rhythm because it was a one man show.

Rockets bench won this series. Nobody can even tell me nothing. When you have the luxury of a bench that can give you 40-60pts on a good night half the battle is won.

OKC were outscored 27-9 in the 6 minutes Westbrook sat. Of course he plays like crap in the 4th but can you entirely blame him?

Roberson was 2 of 21 from the line in a few games. Don't think even Ben Wallace was ever that bad

I would love to see cp3 back in NO. But I think he has that loyalty thing going on and will likely stay with the clips. Plus fam probably prefers LA

plus the 200million extension only the clippers can offer.
doc is the one that has to leave.
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 11:42am On Apr 26, 2017
Clips are now 1-11 in Games 5 of a 2-2 series

Have to point out the emergence of a star in Gordon Hayward, he and Chris Paul are the stand up guys this series.

Joe Johnson and Boris Diaw are also showing their experience.

Lol Durant was over right to leave OKC abeg. What is the point with a GM that is paying $70m to a ninja that can't defend the pick and roll
