Oh mehn james harden is on fire today !that guy is showing no mercy against his fmr team so far he has dropped a cool 38 points |

There's just this annoying things the Thunders are very good at. It's going to be a very serious issue if Westbrook and Durant don't get a ring before any of them leaves. The team just lacks something I don't even know. |

Our Festus is back |

SmooshCHN:I lost hope in OKC long time ago |
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 7:30am On Apr 04, 2016 |
Mynd44:Maybe leadership or goal, I can't seem to understand which they lack. Clippers are back with Griffin and won today. I hope to see how they'll perform this Playoff. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Skywalker5(m): 10:03am On Apr 04, 2016 |
SmooshCHN: That's exactly my thought. I don't know what is lacking. Durant, westbrook and ibaka looks like a great collabo. I dont know if the rest of the team are the main issue or westrbook trying to hard. Its hard to believe a good team like that are kind of struggling. |

drinkmorewater:Spurs and Clippers would likely rest their players. If the Mavs beat the Rockets I'm pretty confident they win 3 of their last 4 |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 4:02pm On Apr 04, 2016 |
Skywalker5: The problem with the OKC is their predictability, teams can predict their game plan and smart teams can neutralize their positives, after they lost Harden it changed the dynamics of that team as they have been unable to replace his scoring despite numerous trades. Previously Westbrook was maligned by critics and fans for not being a genuine point guard however after Harden left and the failed production from numerous replacement trades critics are now suddenly celebrating westbrook as a top point guard. The thunder need to evolve their style of play especially if they succeed in convincing Durant not to leave, they have the interior players i believe but they need that third player who is unpredictable and can take over games either from the bench or the starting line up, every title seeking team must have that player, they lost theirs to the Rockets. P.S: In the instance Durant decides to leave OKC, i would personally make a call to his mother to convince him to consider us (Celtics) we are one superstar (preferably a scoring superstar) away from the top, it would also be the easiest route back to the finals for Durant. Its a win-win situation for everyone even though Lebron would detest such move |

Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 12:11am On Apr 06, 2016 |
SmooshCHN: Whoever gets Durant when he leaves OKC will be very dissappointed. |
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 1:32am On Apr 06, 2016 |
birdman:This is the most underrated comment I've seen about KD He doesn't even act or play like he wants Championship sometimes. He might be able to help a little tho. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 1:48am On Apr 06, 2016 |
birdman:Lmao that's harsh. Aside the injuries I just think he needs to ask himself how bad does he want it. MJ didn't run after running into the brickwall of the Celts and Pistons. OKC should be looking at getting a vet that can still contribute Don't get it twisted though Durant joining the Raptors, Celts, Wizards changes everything in the East |

Looks like Victor Oladipo might play for the US at the Olympics |

Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 4:56am On Apr 06, 2016 |
Tracy McGrady was asked 2 important questions today at a Chinese interview. 1. Who do you think will win this year's NBA FINALS. Ans: Golden State because they're currently the best team in the NBA. 2. What do you think about this year's Rocket Team. Ans: I think this year's rockets team are not consistent, they are not playing together and and not really playing good defence. They are very different from last year's. I think he's saying the truth concerning the Rockets. What's your view on this? |
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 5:04am On Apr 06, 2016 |
SIRcumalot:Durant is like a 18yr old virgin boy like me who doesn't know what he's missing until he tastes it Until he comes out of his shell, he shouldn't worry about getting any championship. Except he joins the Warriors of course but I think he'll fit the Celtics well. |

Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 6:23am On Apr 06, 2016 |
Mhen the Warriors are sleeping on defense. Really sleeping. |
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 6:31am On Apr 06, 2016 |
There's no championship with this kind of defense. This is not even first round defense. Facing Spurs had always been an issue now it's worse. I believe Kerr won't just stand and watch. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Skywalker5(m): 6:31am On Apr 06, 2016 |
So warriors have lost twice at home now. Spurs still unbeaten at home. I am just observing ni ooo. Curry and Thompson 8 of 25 in three point made. No three points,no win for warriors. 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 7:19am On Apr 06, 2016 |
Skywalker5:If you watched the game, you'll notice text didn't lose because of 3s. They played mediocre defense. Same sleepy defense against Celtics. Careless turnovers from Green, Curry and Speights. Some 9-2 runs, 20Turnovers as at 3rd quarter. Sometimes you might play the same game on Curry and he'll still give out 40. Good offense, bad defense = Loss 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by drinkmorewater: 8:31am On Apr 06, 2016 |
I said it!!! By the time they get out hustled and out maneuvered in the playoffs plus the fact that complacency will kick in... In fact if I had to bet on 'em, I say they won't reach the west championship final And yeah am talking bout that team form Oakland! |
Re: The NBA Begins by drinkmorewater: 8:37am On Apr 06, 2016 |
SmooshCHN: Of course they have been so consistently inconsistent right from kevin Mchale days And let me tell U why? Because they effed up in their offseason trades, imagine no serious starter to push the regular starters or even mix it up a bit, u know add a lil spring to the team They just staled up, argh Anyway the faster the season ends the better cos even with playoffs they won't get past the first round |
Re: The NBA Begins by drinkmorewater: 8:40am On Apr 06, 2016 |
Roland17: Lol what do U mean U are one superstar away from the top? Bro U guys are like 2 more maximum Durant going there pairing up with just thomas is a step down from westbrook and OKC! If at all he goes to the east, I will like to see him at toronto, NY knicks, miami or hell even Cavs! |
Re: The NBA Begins by Skywalker5(m): 10:07am On Apr 06, 2016 |
SmooshCHN: I did not watch the game but i have noticed when they lose,they seem to have a bad day making three points. I might be wrong here but i think Spurs will take this guys down come playoff time.Here is the stats online about top defensive team.GSW is not close(Spurs are number 1) but warriors are number one on offense. A lot of people might not agree with the way its calculated but my point is Spurs are very dangerous. I have been saying it for a long time. Even on ESPN Spurs is number 1 and warriors 22.

Re: The NBA Begins by Mynd44: 10:24am On Apr 06, 2016 |
Skywalker5: For a long while now, Spurs have been he most defensive team. Thing is that in a 7 game series against the Spurs, GSW will have to come out to play big tine offense for 4 games. It is possible but the Spurs are also good in the defence, capable of shutting any team down and have a bench that can come up to perform magic. I also believe the Spurs win against GSW was more of a psychological boost for them like a "we can beat this guys. We have done it before" going into the playoffs. Thats if they meet in the playoffs anyway because anything can happen to either team |
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 11:25am On Apr 06, 2016 |
Skywalker5:Yeah. No team can stand the Spurs in defense. If you notice, the only time the Warriors lose to other team except Spurs, they always play over average offence with more turnovers, increased in points from turnover less 3pts made and less point differential. Only the Spurs can stop warriors in a 7 game series cos Pops is brilliant and would always slow the game down and dictate the game pace with the surplus of their BIGS on offence and constant switching of their small on defense (which sometimes doesn't work well against Warriors). Steve Kerr learnt from Pops and he's also very sneaky sometimes. He knows what to do if we meet Spurs. I don't pray to meet Spurs but if we do, so be it. I'm more interested in repeating and making Queen LeBron cry which will not be possible if we don't beat Spurs. drinkmorewater: |
