What I'm saying here is OKC are not looking anything like the contender they were pegged to be 2 months ago.

Give it time. When their bench is clicking, their offense looks really good. All teams would want to avoid them in the playoffs as long as Durant, Westbrook, and Ibaka are healthy.

They better hope time gifts them a 2-guard that's not a statue on offense (Roberson) or Dion Waiters.

Probably Pacers IMHO

Neither of them will win but the celtics match up much better vs golden state than the pacers. Draymond can neutralize PG and that's basically it for the game, and Indiana has nobody at all to guard steph

He's gotten a lot better in terms of not taking so many terrible shots, and he hustles on D, makes dem steals. I LIKE DION.

I dunno if he can neutralize PG. But Indy will need PG to have a monster game to win.

I'd imagine GSW will use Iggy to defend him and make sure any switches leave Draymond guarding him. No one can switch multiple good wing defenders on you like GSW can so I'm curious to see how PG handles it.

How much of PG's shooting is people not closing out on him or him having a crazy height advantage?

He hasn't had many height advantages because he's been playing the 4 for most of the year. He's just ridiculous at slinking through screens and holes like a dang cat so he often has quite a bit of space when he takes his shot

You can pay via paypal by opening a support ticket (if you don't see the pay by paypal option already on your billing thing).

I dunno if you can create a new account, and yes their billing is still hosed.

It is not often that DeAndre Jordan would lose the tip off. But Karl-Anthony Towns is a good one for him to have lost it to for sure.

And that is in this trash heap offense. Imagine what he could do in an offense that taught bigs to loving roll after setting a screen. Like, that is how bad our offense is, big men rolling isn't a common occurance

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
