    Yeah …. high expectations. Some of us have them , some don't.

    This is a team that has the best offensive player perhaps in the history of the league and another League MVP on its roster - the expectations should be high.


    My kids call me a hardass cause I have high expectations …. but they usually meet them so ….


    When you saw the final opening day roster did you really buy a 10 man rotation ? I didn't.


    Most of this teams problems are personnel related. They just aren't very good beyond the top 7 players and are missing a piece to the puzzle among that top 7 in a big forward who's productive.

    Harden
    Westbrook
    Capela
    Tucker
    House
    Rivers
    EG

    Outside of that top 7 .... Two guys are "playable" (on occasion)

    McLemore
    Chandler

    Then you have the rest of the roster …. 7 guys who give you pretty much nothing.

    Nene
    Anderson
    Thabo
    Green
    Clark
    Hartenstein
    Clemons.

    And they have little to no trade value.


    I dunno how Morey solves this one. They really need a starting caliber 4 in the worst way (without giving up their top 7).

    I'm with you … accept for the bolded part. The bottom half of this roster is …. pretty much worthless.

    The injury to GG hurt a lot …. not having a quality player at the 4 is definitely a big deal.

    7 players mostly on minimum contracts that give you next to nothing on a nightly basis - that's a lot to overcome.


    Obligatory Tilman is cheap ….

    Still holding to this prediction?
