    Not that I am defending Reggie's dumbass, but Jazz have a good looking team that can definitely be a top 4 team in the west. Mike is a great pick up if he stays healthy and then you also have Bogdanovic (sp?), who was pretty much Pacers best player after Oladipo went down.

    I am sure Donavan is going to take it up another level this year and he should have more space to operate with a solid shooter like Conley replacing Rubio at that spot.

    Losing Favors hurts, but I think they will still be pretty good.

    And as expected, people are already hyping the Lakers up to be the champions this season because they're beating a Warriors team on the decline.... in a preseason game.

    Wouldn't surprise me if both Lebron and AD get injured for half the season. Besides, I really want us to make the Lakers fans cry once again. Harden will once against drop 40 to 50 points on them.

    Yes. And McGee. They don’t need points from those two. They just need them to defend the opposing center and rebound. Something they are both capable of doing.

    Now I can’t imagine how many points AD would score on PJ

    Lakers looked ok, I think the rockets would beat them easily. Good thing we don’t have to deal with the Warriors anymore! Those guys were no joke

    Best them easily? Let me tell you something. The Rockets actual starters are about as small as GS was last night, and there is no Draymond on the team defensively.

    LAL will absolutely get into what they want to do against this team. Last year Looney killed them. Igoudala was unstoppable at the rim for six. straight. games.

    Playoff LeBron and AD added to the mix?

    And Harden would be okay against them but there won’t be these obvious matchups to exploit other than Kuzma.

    Westbrook isn’t doing **** against anybody in the postseason.

    It would be a nightmare matchup.

    Man, I am here for an entire season of Curry struggling to shoulder the burden of his NON ALLSTAR supporting cast. What happens when all of the gravity (Thompson/KD) is gone?

    When he constantly gets double or even triple teamed he'll complain that its unfair.

    Silver will probably step in and make double teaming illegal.

    They got Clutchfans syndrome. Getting excited way too early. Remember when MCW was going to be our Livingston? Or how about Olympic Melo making a brief appearance? Lol
