And all I'm saying is give it time. We're only 8-10 games in. It was to be expected for LAC and OKC  to go through growing pains. All of these takes will be fun to look back at in FEB

Warriors are on another level there's no question right now

I mean, I know they are going to make a nice run midway through the season and make the playoffs :lol: . But, you can also say the same thing about the Grizz right now considering the way they've started the season over the last 5 years. Multiple 3-5 starts.

But, it also holds true that these teams have done just as much as the Grizz over the last 5 years. They've all dealt with injuries, but of course the teams with the star power will be looked at in a higher light. I know the Grizz have their issues and are older, but I honestly see the same fortune for the majority of these teams. Its going to happen because only two teams can make the WCF :lol: And at this point, not making the Finals for some of these teams considering their talent level will be a big failure.

True. It's just that the Clips haven't been losing by like 30-50 points multiple games

Tonight is definitely ugly but they are missing 2 starters and Blake for a half
 
bledsoe looks like he had plastic surgery

he looked like a baby hippo face in his college photo

But the problem has ALWAYS been the bench.

You're going to turn Paul Piere into a new player?

Lance Stephenson isn't going to get any better. He can pass but if he starts dribbling its a turnover.

Josh Smith is a chucker.

Jamal Crawford is the sole scorer for the 2nd team.

They simply cannot play Blake for 48 minutes.

Yea :lol: I think the problem with Memphis losing by 30-50 points has more to deal with their defense being poor because their offense is not going to catch fire. Its hard for a lot of these teams to lose the way Memphis does because they have offense. All of the games Memphis scored in the 80's or low 90's and won were because they actually played defense :lol: . If they still scoring in the 80's, low 90's and not playing defense, then you get the beat downs. We talking about a team that strictly relies on their defense being 100% on point and out playing teams. The Grizz were never a team that had a ton of talent and would overpower other teams with a ton of elite level athletes.

I do think all of these teams still have the same problems as they've always had.

- Clippers still have bench issues and Doc still doesn't have a clue of what's going on.
- OKC still doesn't know what an offensive set looks like. New coach and it may change as time goes on, but I'm not a believer in Westbrook becoming some excellent facilitator to make the offense work. Injuries.
- Grizz still don't have shooting or a perimeter threat. They also struggle to score the basketball.
- Houston is up in the air as of now. A lot relies on Dwight's health and production IMO.

I mean its been the same thing for all of these teams over the last 4-5 years or so or at least since their cores have been together.

We're definitely seeing some repeat issues, no denying that
 
idk why yall are having a convo bout either of those garbage squads. cippers suck something powerful and memphis are worse. but both are rinsed. if anything, yall should be comforting each other, not tearing each other down.
