    AD is the best player at a increasingly less and less important position. I’m willing to bet it’s us vs the warriors again, with us finally beating them. Lakers are a non threat with their overrated front court. When’s the last time an elite big won a team a chip? Dirk? Gimme a break...

    lmao we aren't winning anything. Don't even let the thought enter your brain. We're a 2nd round team, thats it.

    Yes they benefitted from key injuries, while we couldn't. Keep digging your own grave.

    Keep buying into the false hype that Morey continues to feed yall and you'll end up disappointed just like last year

    terrible logic. Coincidence not correlation.

    We havent seen an elite big since. AD was suppose to be the next man up.

    Since you lack reading comprehension... They benefitted far more than we did... KD missed one game against us... Klay missed zero... Keep posting nonsense.

    Another season where the media kills us in the offseason and we vastly outperform their predictions...

    I am not worried about regular seasons, although last year was brutal.........

    Still top 5 in playoff odds. Butler was always a longshot. No team has 3 stars unless the Lakers get Kawhi.

    At this point it's just up to the players, not Morey. They have enough.

    100% agree. I’m friends with a jazz fan and he’s so excited about the moves they’re making but I keep reminding him that the Rockets are still better and no one is on our level unless the Lakers get Kawhi. That’d be tough man.

    Just wait until the dust settles but if the Lakers get Kawhi we are most def, NOT the favorites.

    I don't see this team making it out of the second round. Let's not act like the drama between CP3 and Harden's playstyles won't clash again during the season.

    Could be fixed in 5 mins with a sit down or a strong coach/org.

    I am more worried about MDA, that dude can't even separate players, has no clue that his Top dogs feud.......or he does do nothing.

    Bottom line is, Morey failed to acquire our third star who can help Harden facilitate or be a threat for our team.

    We will still continue to rely on Harden (1 guy) to carry us through the regular season and playoffs.

    The west got tougher with the acquisitions of the top teams in the west and Harden's usage rate the past 2 seasons was just crazy.

    How long can he continue this pace without any real help?
