amen, brother.  its infuriating to watch harden simply run right into somebody, fall down, and get the call every time.  brunson too.

 

C’mon man! I get hurt for 6 weeks and everyone just forgets all about me.  Those guys have nothing on me (and LeBron)

I know I complain about this a lot. But the constant noise/music during the OKC game is awful. 

[papalawrence]

SAS and OKC could rule the NBA for years. Wemby is 21 and turns 22 next week. Castle just turned 21. Harper is 19. OKC has 672 lottery picks in the coming years. Hopefully Detroit will be seeing them in the finals soon, maybe even this season

[Deleterious]

Pretty impressed with the Spurs right now.

[papalawrence]

Just 2 weeks ago people were predicting OKC would win 75. Now I think I'd put SAS above them as the #1 team right now. 

[Deleterious]

For reference, OKC is now 26-5.  The 2016 Warrior team was 48-5 when they lost their 5th game.

The Spurs have a bunch of guys that can handle the ball.  They are a perfect counter to the OKC defense.

i'll root for okc over the spurs.  okc built themselves through trades and smart drafting.  setting themselves uo as a dynasty through shrewd moves.

san antonio was gifted multiple top picks.  **** them.

[buddha]

you guys are never going to believe this, but AD got hurt again today and had to leave the game.

i know, i know.  its hard to believe...

[buddha]

after getting their asses kicked multiple times by the spurs, does okc spend some of its massive draft capital to get a "star" player?  even if its just for one season?

[Deleterious]

Nope.  Don't overreact based on a handful of regular season games.  Make San Antonio prove they can remain healthy for the playoffs and actually beat OKC.  

This summer makes a lot more sense for them to make a move like that.  Believe it or not, SGA and Hartenstein are the only two players on the roster that make more than $20 million this season.  So you would have to move 2-4 players to get a star in.  Plus, teams will want that LAC pick.  Wait till the summer, you see where that pick ends up.  If its outside the top 3 then trade it.  Chet will be making $41 million then, so him + a pick or two should get the job done without ripping apart their roster.

[Deleterious]

The Spurs beat OKC on 3 different courts.  Home, aways, and neutral.  They did it with a different top scorer in each game.  Vassell, Keldon Johnson, and Fox.

That's close to Michael Curry's career totals

People are wondering what Ant got ejected for yesterday.  I have a theory he did it on purpose to spend more time with his kids on Christmas day.

[buddha]

any team that trades for davis is insane.

[Deleterious]

Things are not going well for Atlanta.  Probably put Toronto in that category as well.  Invite Orlando to the party too.  

[Deleterious]

One of the worst contracts in the league

Coach said "I don't want to hear one more person tell me they have a damn CALF strain!"

[Deleterious]

Hawks and Warriors are interested in AD.

Jazz just beat the Spurs by 13 in San Antonio.

They beat us (#1 team in the East) and they beat the Spurs, who beat the Thunder (#1 team in the West). Clearly Utah is the best team in the NBA and they're winning a championship.

[Deleterious]

An NBA player landed a punch, wow.
