    I think Ingram will be a border line all star down the road

    Thunder will prolly be the one team no one wants to face in the West come playoff time.(as long as Melo doesn't return to his Denver form)
    I have to question if they'll put it together quickly enough to really get a top 4 seed.
    When LBJ/Bosh/Wade came together then went what 8-8 in their first 16 games. Yet I think they still managed the #1 seed out east?
    If OKC is .500 after 20 games, will they be able to make up the ground necessary with how competitive the West is?

    Yep just like we see young teams who don't yet know they are bad, play great out of the gate. Good teams often don't have the urgency mentally to "turn it up" right out of the gate, and bad teams play with a lot more confidence until they get embarrassed a few times and then begin their downward trend. It seems like it takes about 10-15 games for some teams to show their true colors.

    Think of every sport’s offsides rule and then add the NBA’s speed and tiny field of play... I bet it’s really tough for a ref that’s trying to figure out which superstar to ignore too.

    To be fair, against Phoenix they might have gone on a 7-minute long 9-0 run.

    So are the Clippers as good as they've looked? Are the Nuggets and the Jazz really as bad? Is Memphis the team that beat the Warriors and the Rockets or the team that lost to the Mavs? Is it always this chaotic at the beginning of the season? I guess the Warriors got blown out in their season opener last year.

    I'm sorry that's what you see. Rapping usually is a cocky thing to do anyway. But in his interviews he doesn't seem cocky at all. I watch how he interacts with his teammates and referees and I don't see what you're talking about.
    You seem to be manufacturing that in your brain somehow. He's always been humble in every interview I've seen him in. Show me something cocky BESIDES rapping... You're reaching there bro..

    Edit:

    Even the way he interacts with opponents. Beverly basically knocked him to the ground and he got up and kept fighting and playing like it was nothing.
    Cocky is his FATHER. Not him. And just like I said, you're projecting. You're projecting the image you have about his father on to him.

    Stephen A laid into John Wall for going 7/22 and talking all that shit and losing. He did not win the battle IMO.

    What I was seeing last night in the Washington and the Lakers game was similar with our game with NO but the difference was our bench came through for us and there didn't.

    I am doing a Sly and answering my own post here:



    I do not believe in these guys until they play defense.
