    Not as big of a ball hogs? Im not denying that Harden is very good at what he does. I think there are guys who could do it but play more team oriented basketball. To be fair to Harden its worked for them in terms of wins.

    I don't like Harden's game all that much, but he's one of the most relentless offensive players I've seen. He never moves at a particularly fast pace, but he's locked in on every offensive play and seems immune to the lulls that affect all players.

    BTW, I like how BNM disappears when OKC is playing well, comes back with an anti-Westbrook rant when they slip a few spots in the standings, and then has no comment about them upsetting Toronto.

    Is it a problem that he cant stand OKC and Westbrick? I also dont like both and nothing makes me more happy to see them loose, except of course a Blazers win

    8 straight trips to the Finals in the crappy East.

    Comes West and will finish somewhere around 11th in the conference.

    Legacy built on beating the sisters of the poor and teaming up with Wade/Bosh. Meh...

    Haha yes i can imagine the Lakers hate in Portland is much stronger, but here in Germany Okc fanbase is the the most annoying fanbase. I hate OKC and Westbitch

    Since the Blazers do not have the tie-breaker against most of the teams, they really only have a 2 game buffer.

    It is a problem when someone with statistician/historian leanings (and skills) is overcome by emotion. BNM should stick to non-conference predictions, as he does much better there than with the likes of OKC, Denver, Utah, and Minnesota.

    He did beat 73-9 Warriors in Finals though. Props for that.

    For the Nuggets? Absolutely. For the Blazers? Not a chance.

    Why are Warriors getting killed so much at home? Even beat by Phoenix at home and blown out by LeBronless Lakers. Something is wrong with them.

    I think it’s more than that. They’re developing bad habits. People said 2011 Lakers didn’t care about regular season when they were going for three peat and they ended up getting swept in 2nd round.

    Trae makes a great game winning floater as the Hawks down the pathetic Sixers. The combination of Collins and Young is pretty sweet.

    Yeah maybe but the Warriors are much more talented than the 2011 Lakers. The warriors are probably the most talented team in NBA history, at least their starting 5, and in the end, talent allways wins. It would take a miracle to beat them in 4 games in the Playoffs

    I want them so badly to get no. 1 and Zion.

    Maybe a shot at someone like Reddish at 6/7 where Dallas pick lands.

    Imagine Trae, Zion, Collins and Reddish with complimentary pieces like Prince, Huerter, Bembry. So fun!
