Wrong, I hate the Warriors because they cried to Durant to come and save them from LeBron. Had no issue with them (other than Draymond being a disgrace to the game) before that weakness. [Reply]

Draymond being that 2nd round pick for the Warriors is exactly why I like him. He compliments his team like Rodman did for the Bulls.
What has Durant done outside the Warriors? [Reply]
You could've told me he was on a minimum deal and I wouldn't have been shocked by it. What the ****?
Yeah, I was shocked when it happened. Of course, I was also shocked they gave Fred FatVleet a huge deal as well, and it has worked well for them. I thought they should supplement around their ascending youth, but they gave these odd vets huge deals. What do I know, though, as it seems to be working.
Edit: To give myself SOME credit, though, I did push LOUDLY for OKC to sign Hartenstein, regardless the cost. He just seemed like the missing piece and an outstanding fit. He's been that and more. [Reply]
OKC really hasn't put a foot wrong in 3 years now.
Hartenstein is just another really smart move they've made.
They're a tough out for a long time if ownership will pay what it takes to keep that team together in a market that just may not support the ticket prices required to pay those 2nd apron penalties. [Reply]
Imagine Luka ever being scared of this group of chokers
I actually feel bad for SGA, he needs more help and isn’t gonna get it come playoff time
Relax. Chet is being given rest as he's coming back from an injury.
Not a surprising result for a team just playing with their food right now with no real incentive to give it your all since they are up by so much in the West for the #1 seed.
They mailed it in in the 4th quarter since they were up by 25. Caught up with em. Happens with teams that are bored. [Reply]

Well the Lakers just fired the Nuggets into the sun and did so despite getting games that would be mostly average from Luka, LeBron and Reaves. Rui is the only one who overperformed and was largely offset by DFS underperforming.
And Luka already sent SGA's ass home with less around him than he'll have this year in LA.
But I hope OKC keeps their heads in the sand. Keep reading those press clippings and telling yourselves that a team full of small wings plus Chet is some unstoppable juggernaut.
Y'all can be beaten. And if I had to bet OKC vs. The Field, I'd take the field. They're a very good team -- I certainly hope they're as convinced of that as you are. [Reply]
