    I agree. Its going to be one if not the closet playoff races we've seen. A few things. You think Houston is better than OKC? Both have shitty benches, okc has more firepower. I just don't see Houston being better, but maybe I'm underestimating houston because I dislike them. I see we both have LAC at 7. I'm wondering about them. They will have to spend the first few months without Griffin and they dont have the same pieces as last year. They do have beverly and lou williams to sorda kinda replace paul and reddick...they also got Galinari though...idk...Denver, why is everyone so high on them. I was for a moment in time till I realized they din't have shit. They got Milsap this summer and they have Jokic...Galinari left...not much to see. You think phoenix is better than Dal, Sac, and LAL. It is fun to put the Lakers last. I think phoenix is destined to be last this year.

    I'm not one to pick on our players or anything like that. But I liked how Meyers said he wasn't going to give in-depth answers this year to the media, then goes on talking about 10,000 repetition theory in a book and the navy seals lmao. Hopefully his confidence with the press translates to the court, but we're all looking with pessimism.

    Where was the Collins interview?

    They forgot to record it so they’re re-editing the Leonard interview and posting that in its place

    To go from bitch-fest and crocodile tears to quoting and responding to someone's posts with stupid and snark responses, it ain't humor and nobody is buying it. I'm not the only person noticing it.

    Don't worry. I've called the waaaahhhh-bulance.

    NO brought up the TPE again in his interview. $12.9 million I believe? within the CBA and where our current salary is, what is the highest salary we could trade for? if NO included max cash and a future pick what would that bring it to?

    We didn't get Paul George. We didn't get Melo.

    But hey.... We did get TPE, FAMS.

    (I don't blame NO in either of these cases, but to bring it up.... LOL.)

    He brought it up after he mentioned they might not be done making moves. I don't see the problem.

    I don't see the problem, either.

    As I clearly stated, I don't blame him for what he couldn't get done. But you didn't get a little chuckle from the mention, though?

    I mean not really, I did get a good laugh when he mentioned how they're expecting internal growth though. Like no shit. You don't have a choice lol.

    See, that was less humorous to me. That's like a no-brainer. I expect that every year. And these guys playing together with continuity makes internal growth that much easier.

    Let's hope the ACTPE doesn't go the way of the RLEC.

    I for one am not pessimistic but my skepticism meter is in the midrange. that said dames says he is playing mentally tougher so my optimism meter is in the middle ground too. I am rooting for him.

    We got TPE and don't forget Ca$h Con$iderations. Big off-season for us.

    I think Westbrook is overrated. Him and Harden are equal in my eyes. Paul+Ariza+Capela are better than PG+Melo+Adams. Ariza would be as good, if not a better fit for OKC than Melo.

    HOU also has more depth.
