I don't know how far OKC can go but kudos to the front office, Russ went from questionable help to an arguably deep team. At the very least they are a competent 7-8 deep with a few supposed shooters, athletes everywhere, solid rebounding and very good size
+1 good point sir. Totally forgot Vic has been out the last two games because I was just too focused on Taj and Mcbuckets being newly acquired

He is SOOOOOOO bad!
What needs to happen is Oladipo should come off the bench and run Point and leave Abrines to start at SG so he gets all his looks with Russ' spacing and Dipo can have the ball in his hands as a created with a couple of shooters around him with Kanter healthy and Dougie addition.

This right here. Semaj at one point was literally the worst player in the league by advanced stats.

Okay, then I guess they aren't as good as I claim them to be?
Point out one thing that i've said about LAC that means that they should beat GSW? And if you wanna keep it a buck, half of these 10 straight losses LAC has had against the warriors they haven't even been 100% and literally just last season the Clips had two games against them that went down to the wire, but that's neither here nor there.
Regardless, I don't get what you're getting at. The Clippers can still be really good, and not better than the warriors, or not close. Those two things aren't mutually exclusive.

Vogel had a wee bay moment and admitted Aaron Gordon is actually better at the 4 than the 3

Him being a 3 never made sense. It's crazy how they even went into this season thinking that that would work.

Yep, said the same thing about Vic when they acquired Doug. Rather have Doug or Abrines start and have Dipo get all the volume off the bench. At the end of games make the proper adjustments but yeah I'm with you about Vic... depending on his attitude

I understand the serge signing kind of forced his hand but still

It was if it were called on anyone else but Boogie. The very first trip down he starts with this arm flailing head down while I throw my hands in the air like I didn't do anything and then react hastily when he hears a whistle, and the refs were making it clear they didn't want to see this all game.
The T'ed Adams up too as to give him the same warning, so it wasn't bias, they just didn't want to ref a game full of Boogies antics.

Yeah their front court depth is really solid, really liking the Adams, Kanter, and Taj Combo. Abrines is shooting the lights out.
Is Dipo down to actually be the 6th man?

Yep, gotta give OKC's front office some credit IMO. Kudos to them for recreating a team around russ on the fly. Still don't like a few of the deals they've made this season however.

I really hope that Westbrook teams up with another superstar, wether it be in OKC or LA. Its sad seeing him ball out of his mind and not have a chance to compete for a ring. Maybe KD can pull the unthinkable and comeback if he wins with the GSW?

That one, and the Oladipo extension i'm not too fond of, but then again i'm not a huge Oladipo fan.

Maybe it's different with an organization that actually winning and in playoff position. I mean, who would want to be 6th man for the Magic...

Was watching that Rockets 58 three point attempt game the other night and it got me thinking.
They take an exorbitant amount of ~30 footers. There isn't any real way to defend that unless you literally are chest to chest with them off the ball which nobody is going to do because you have to help on Harden's drives.
And these guys are so far behind the 3 point line that the help can't recover like they might if it was a regular three.
And again, they take soooooooo many of them.
If they are making these shots come playoff time, you can't beat them given they volume that they're taking.

Why Lou to the Rockets might've been the biggest move at the deadline.

Rockets IMO have the best shot at beating GS. If their 3s are falling they can beat anyone. They just gotta keep shooting and pray.
