    Warriors are still a tough team but without Durant, who in the West is as good as the Rockets have been the past 2 years?

    Well, they lost anyway. I don't know if they choked exactly. It's not like they were leading by 30 points at the half ... *cough* Oilers *cough*

    What have the Rockets done to improve their team? In fact...as it stands right now, they’re worse than last year.

    Jimmy is probably the deciding factor at this point on this, him and Kawhi are the last big names available so, he's the only guy the Clippers can pair with Kawhi, and some reports are saying two things:

    - Kawhi is likely going back to L.A
    - he wants to be competitive

    Here's where Jimmy comes in play, if he comes here, stays in Philly or goes to Miami, i just don't see Kawhi sign with the Clippers, at that point i'd expect him to sign with the Lakers, but if Butler is willing to sign with the Clippers, i can see Kawhi like that option more.

    FWIW Chris Carter is the only media guy who has been close with Kawhi. He says it’s either Raptors or Lakers and strongly suggests it’s going to be Lakers

    If we bring back the same roster? No... it’s definitely not.

    For next year at least, it would've been better if KD signed with dubs for a max and f***ked their salary cap

    Good thing Kawhi can't sign with the Warriors at max or the next 5 years would still be Warriors territory
