November 22Nov 22 13 minutes ago, Chewbacca said: Houston is just young outside of KD. Sure but they're not too young to win. Ime has coached a Finals. Durant has played in four Finals. Houston made the playoffs last season. They may need another jump from Sengun and some OKC championship-fatigue to get there and if that's the case next season will be their best opportunity. Just saying two years from now I think Durant is going to be too old unless the guys around him seriously elevate and KD settles into more of a 2nd/3rd option.
November 22Nov 22 Houston is elite. They might finish the season around 8-9 SRS and MOV, which are carried by their offense having the best 3pt shooting team and historic offensive rebounding. That defense has slipped though. Something to keep an eye on, but they were top 4 all of last season and are 15th now. That's too much of a drop to just blame it all on FVV being out. They might have enough to stay top 4 in the West after KD if Sengun is a yearly all-star and both of Amen and Sheppard get better. It's hard to say. The West has a lot of good teams.

November 22Nov 22 That Reed Sheppard fellow has done a complete 180 and the Phoenix Suns are fun as fuck to watch.

November 22Nov 22 CP3 to retire after this season. interesting career. wildly succesful as an individual, but hard to say where he stands among his peers all time.

November 22Nov 22 [mention=37]MNLonghornFUKM[/mention] in case you missed this last night. One of those nights that my HS loses the state football6A championship in MN (first time playing in it since 1987) and also this happens in a span of 20 minutesMakes one question of what’s the point of following sports and just take up theater & the arts. Go to plays. Performances, whatever. Something that won’t kill your will to exist
November 22Nov 22 Talk about the west, all I know is it’s Thunder, then Nuggs, then Lakers, Rockets & Spurs, then everyone else. Wolves underachieving so far. Warriors look like they’re going to only put in so much effort to make it as an 8/9/10. Only have the late in the season matchup with OKC in Denver with my half season ticket. Gonna have to cop the 2/1 game with my discount. Edited November 22Nov 22 by I Plead Da Fif

I hate paraphrasing Bill Simmons, but I remember him saying something like, "If you need a good game from CP3 in the playoffs, he'll give you 23 and 9. When you need a great game from him to win...he'll give you 23 and 9." Edited November 23Nov 23 by aggie08

November 23Nov 23 He was just never quite the best player in the league - although he got close. Statistically one of the best careers of all-time. Good playoff performer but not a great one who could consistently win 2 rounds. Kind of a dickhead on the court. He made every team he ever joined better as soon as he got there. And I think that is mainly what will be his legacy along with his steals and assist numbers.
November 23Nov 23 I can’t hate CP3 as much as I used to after his year in SA. His career was marred by never having great enough teammates and/or consistently getting injured at the worst possible time. But as far as point guards go, depending on whether you define Curry and Harden as point or shooting guards, he’s probably top 5 all time: Magic, Stockton, Kidd, Isiah and that nut punching whiny asshole Chris Paul. He’s also, as far as I can tell, the last of a dying breed of true table setting pass first point guards. You just don’t see guys play like him anymore, and it’s kind of a shame the way the game has evolved to eliminate that style of player. @ztejas point about him always making his teams better is a great one too. It’s pretty remarkable how he elevated every team he played for (notwithstanding that one weird year in GS). For a guy who never really won anything, he’s in a certain respect one of the great winning players in the game.
November 23Nov 23 Klay may be committing basketball terrorism with the Mavs on the court, but his interview is a must see after the game. Dude when in on Memphis and Ja in particular and he’s not wrong.

November 23Nov 23 Truth cuts deep. Ja is an imbecile though so he is more likely to put a hit on Klay than listen to him

Also, though, they're just better than last year on defense. Jalen Williams is probably their most important defender because he can guard all five positions and he hasn't even played. Last year they had so few regular season games where everyone was healthy that they really didn't start clicking until the playoffs. Now, they've had an entire off season and most everyone else has been healthy except for a few games here and there.

November 27Nov 27 Of all the things to criticize LeBron for, his body care regimen is not one of them. We should probably all be following his lead.
