when teans in the east make the playoffs with losing records its not fine. Seeding should be regardless of conference...but it won't happen

They're NBA players, all of them can score. Especially when the guards get double teamed off a pick and roll, the screen man rolls wide open and they still shoot a contested shot or three.

aside from Reddick there is not one skilled offensive player in their entire roster. Jennings n Ellis carry the team bc they have to. thwres a reason they're under 500....that roster is anything but good lol.

Ilyasova and Dunleavy are both capable of scoring 20, not to mention they have guys who can finish around the basket. If you've watched this game you understand what I'm saying, they shoot the ball 90% of the time they touch it. They come off a screen and don't even look for the roll man or the skip pass, only to shoot. I stand by my original statement, they are the most selfish back court I've seen, not even looking to get their teammates involved and there really isn't an excuse for it.

True but it wouldn't have changed the eventual outcome, some teams may have won a series instead of going home first round, but that's it. Not worth it to change it for that imo. Might make it a little more exciting I guess.

Jennings goes for 17 n 7 on average, not exactly a black hole. And ilyasova coulsnt hit a damn thing tonight, no reason to keep feeding him really. But we'll never agree so ill drop it. bc I know you hate this new type of pg like Rose, Westbrook, Jennings ect who look to score more than run the offense.

Jennings also take horrible shots and shoots less than 40% from the field, while Ellis shoots 41%, a product of bad shots. No disrespect to them, they are great players and talents, they are just very selfish. Ilyasova and Reddick struggled tonight, but they are capable, as well as Dunleavy. Have to make the role players better, that's what guards are supposed to do. I don't hate them, just my thoughts and opinion on it is all.

OKC working Houston so far. I hope Houston can start to make a few shots and keep it interesting.

On that Westbrook slashing lay in the referee was busting ass down the court...it was impressively fast and he made it into position by the time RW released the ball.

Doubt Joe West could've managed. I will take MLB's quality over the NBA but do appreciate the NBA guys staying fit enough to hustle.

I don't feel like going through the early posts on this thread to quote but I am immature enough to say this:

TOLD YOU ALL that Harden was a top 25 player.



ps shoutout to g_port for fighting the good fight with me from the get-go.

Harden definitely earned that max contract this year that's for sure.

You guys are practically begging me to post the list of players you said were better. I know it's hard to admit you're wrong.
