cp3 is the greatest point guard to ever play the game. he has good passing abilities and can set up easy shots for his teammmates, and the clippers can make the playoffs every year but are missing a piece for title contention.

>>74415833
I'm really confused at what your point is, neither team is gonna make the playoffs

The thunder have looked real good the past two games. Kanter had a great game after just getting back into it. They won without Westbrook having a great game by his standards. Oladipo has been out.

McDoormat is a big upgrade over morrow - he moves more to get open and has a solid midrange game. Grabs some rebounds. Keeps possessions alive.

Taj Gibson seems like a very high IQ player. Kanter/Adams are good, but they get double teamed a lot and such. Taj is there to clean that up.

>>74415916
they're better playoff team thats for sure especially with the there bigs. IF shots start to fall for them then i can see them competing against the spuds. Westbrook Kawhii is going to be based. Billy donovan just has to pull elite plays out of his ass.

>>74415938
The thunder's season -> playoff mode gap was amazing last year. They really switched it on. And I have more faith in the execution of a Westbrook lead team than a Durchoak lead team - even if there's less skill, they might not make it as far, but they can fulfill their potential more.

Billy D is great at playoff prep.

After OKC got white Paul Pierce and Taj Mahal I think they have all the tools to upset the Warriors now. KD gonna get his ass beat then switch teams again.

>>74415987
they needs 1 more defensive wing, roberson needs more help. Should have jewed phoenix for tucker, then i can see them winning it all desu.

>>74415987
If Roberson keeps shooting from three like he has since the ASB and being aggressive to the rim without being scared of being fouled and having to shoot freethrows OKC can't be stopped.

This would be the perfect webm if we actually had sound allowed.

"During the 2002 Rocky Mountain Revue, teammates Junior Harrington and Kenny Satterfield nicknamed Andersen "Birdman" for his arm span and penchant for aerial acrobatics. On September 29, 2003, he re-signed with the Nuggets."

Cousins doesn't have the mentality of a top 100 player, much less a top 10 player.

if he had the mentality of somebody like DJ or Draymond or Adams he could be possibly the best player in the league, but he's more about 'keeping it real' and making sure he gets his numbers.

>>74419166
he used to be a high flyer when he was younger

plus he's crazy as a fucking loon

They really wouldn't sign him and they already have 4 point guards.

Maybe he'll take D-Will's spot and join Cleveland.

Or maybe he just wants money and not rings and he'll sign with who ever offers the most money.

Maybe he goes to Minnesota to be with Thibbs?

>>74419859
lmao the Knicks are a fucking joke they should literally fire everyone in management and in the FO. Just kill it with fire and start over because this team has been an absolute joke for so long.

Rose, with his injuries, would make the perfect 6th man and he could play hard for limited minutes without putting stress on his knees long term.

And he'd be super effective this way too.

Brandon Ingram and 4 Oompa Loompas

>If it wasn’t already clear that New York’s Rose experiment failed, it should be now. On an individual level, the former MVP has been fine this season, perhaps a little better than expected. In 50 games, he has averaged 17.6 points, 4.4 assists and 3.9 rebounds, shooting 46.2 percent and showing an ability to get into the paint and score at the rim that the Knicks desperately needed. Those numbers, however, do not capture the harmful effect he has had on New York’s defense -- when he’s been on the court, the team has had a 111.6 defensive rating, worse than any of his teammates.

>As a poor defender and an unreliable outside shooter (Rose is making 23.6 percent of his 3-pointers this season, his worst mark since he was a rookie), there is a ceiling on how much he can help a team right now. The conundrum is that the only way he can be effective is by having the ball in his hands, but he’s not an efficient enough scorer or effective enough distributor to command full control of an offense. This is why it wouldn’t be completely nuts for the Knicks, having decided not to consider re-signing him in the offseason, simply let him go.

>>74420152
He can't be a starter. He needs to be a 6th man and leader of a second unit from this point on in his career.

I'm worried Lowry won't be in rhythm and might not be adjusted to playing with Ibaka especially if they have to play the 5th seed or something there might not be enough time. I'm just hoping he can come back a game or two before the playoffs. Fuck this is upsetting.

CoJo is a good replacement for Lowry while he's out. I'd only be worried if they hadn't just got Ibaka.

Ffffffff

I was so hyped to see the raptors at full power man.

Hopefully Lowry can transition back smoothly before the playoffs begin though

Well it's going to be like Carroll from last year

>>74420793
The thing is the east isn't good, except for maybe LeBums team

>>74420826
Stars like Lowry recover from injury and get into the flow of things quickly. Plus he's been on the team for years now.

daily reminder

James harden has taken 653 free throws in 60 games

>>74420826
How is this the same? Knee injuries are always worst case scenarios.

>>74420865
Disgusting

>>74420878
I mean like how Carroll came back a week before playoffs and got some practice games in before the big games started.

>>74420477
H-he'll be back for the playoffs...

>>74420916
Yes and no. Lowry should still be able to train while he's out because his legs are fine. He just won't be able to shoot or dribble. Conditioning is probably the most important part at this stage of the season so theoretically he shouldn't lose too much. Obviously it's not ideal but it could be way worse.

>>74420950
believe it!

Dinosty didn't even get a chance. Why was that nigga golfing yesterday?

Lowry can't shoot the ball for 5 weeks he's going to come in the playoffs shooting bricks

As long as the Rapties don't get the Pacers or the Wizards in the first round they'll be just fine. Even if Lowry is rusty they can take the Hawks, Bulls, Pistons, Hornets, Bucks, Heat, etc.

If they get the Pacers or Wizards though it could be trouble.

>>74421212
The purpose of the all star events is to weaken the all stars to give lesser teams a chance to catch up

>Bulls

No....FUCK NO

>>74416077
Roberson plays elite perimeter D...on one player, the warriors will have 3+ perimeter shooters at any given time

>>74421291
They'd be fine. Regular season doesn't mean shit. Think about all the teams LeBron has lost the regular season to or even been swept by (ex. Brooklyn in 2014) and then he rapes them in the playoffs. Or raptors destroyed the Wizards in 2015 and then got swept in the playoffs.

Wade becomes retarded clutch in the playoffs but that won't be a problem if the Raptors just blow them out instead of keeping it close. Roster vs roster the Raptors are way better. Jimmy can't carry that pile of shit past a good team for 7 games. Wizards and Pacers are a bigger problem, especially if the Nintendo Switch flops and Wall breaks the Shookening curse.

Cory Joseph is a bretty good back up point guard and he gels well with Ibaka. More of a facilitator.
