LOL I know right,,hey we also schooled the Warriors. One of those games we had Jackson pissed because we kept raining 3's on his team in quest of breaking a record..hahahahaha
Most NBA pundits j*zz themselves when thinking of the Warriors. I like them, too (probably the most fun to watch), and think Curry is a flat-out stud---hard to believe 5 or 6 teams passed on him in the draft---but they're not better than us. Aldridge ranking the Knicks higher than the Rockets is a joke. Maybe Aldridge is from NY? Has worked there so much he feels the need to kiss their butts? Remember: Aldridge is a dude who dissed on the selection of Yao Ming and said he did like the acquisition of Boki Nachbar with that draft's #15 pick.
Who the HELL is David Aldridge?? Oh, you mean that top heavy clown on NBATV?!! Lol like his opinions mean anything. The guy has probably never picked up a basketball in his life. Look how out of shape and dis-proportionate(if that's a word) his body is next time you see him...CLOWN.
Don't sleep on the Warriors, I don't know if the Warriors are better than the Rockets, but both teams should be better than the Knicks.
Wuttt? No way NY and Brooklyn are better than us. Brooklyn is overrated, you don't know what your going to get from Jason Kidd as head coach
My rankings: 1. Heat 2. Spurs 3. Thunder 4. Bulls 5. Rockets 6. Memphis 7. Pacers 8. Clippers 9. Warriors 10. Nets Pacers and Clippers are being massively overrated by pretty much everyone. Everyone is giving too much credit to the Pacers' lucky series against the Heat. The general thinking that the Clippers underperformed because they had a bad coach and now are sure to dominate now that they have Doc Rivers is wishful thinking. The Clippers will be lucky to make the 2nd round again; they're gonna get knocked out in the first round unless they have a miraculous season and get 1st or 2nd seed. The Pacers will lose in the Eastern Semis to the Heat or the Bulls.
LOL at the Knicks even sniffing the top 10. What a joke. Chicago and Houston are both being majorly disrespected by Aldridge.
There is NO REASON the Knicks and the Warriors should be ranked ahead of us. You can argue about Memphis, Brooklyn and Clippers. Aldridge sucks.
Wow I didn't even realize that he didn't have the Bulls on this list. His opinion was effectively just nullified IMO.
My rankings: 1. Miami 2. San Antonio 3. Indiana 4. Chicago 5. Houston 6. OKC 7. LA Clippers 8. Brooklyn 9. Memphis 10. Golden State
On that note, Lamb had a terrible game today: 40 minutes, 0-8 from 3 point range & 5 TOs I changed my mind about Lamb. I liked him when he was on the Rockets, but the more I have seen him play, he is a soft player, actually REALLY soft.
Heat Spurs Thunder Bulls Pacers Nets Memphis Rockets Clippers Warriors Right on a lot of points but don't forget the massive love affair the warriors , I mean curry has to play out of his mind in order for the warriors to make the top ten. Iggy is overrated and I would rather have parsons...
lmao Spurs at 8 Spurs are a head above everyone in the west right now, and would of been a arm length above everyone if they ended up getting Kirilenko. They signed Jeff Pendegraph (Ayers) and Marco Belinelli to address two of there biggest needs in another ball handler and shot creator, and a big man who can rebound and pick n pop those 10 foot jumpers. Spurs have a nice expiring contract of Bonner and 3 young guards Joseph/De Colo/Mills that they could possibly package around the trade deadline to get a small ball four/backup 3 when they play against the teams that go small. Spurs will be the favorites to come out the west again no doubt.
Ahead of everyone but the Heat, Spurs, and Thunder (when Westbrook's healthy). So #4. Indiana: Not nearly as good as everyone seems to think. They feasted on the Least last season. Paul George and Roy Hibbert are overrated. They'll do well again in the East, they have no shot at a title because they don't have any real stars. Clippers: Unless Griffin suddenly takes a big step forward, they're a one star team, and that star is borderline top 5. They have depth and a good coach, so they'll probably be in the top 4 seeds in the West, but we have TWO stars at the level as CP3, instead of just one, and our BACKUP center is better than their starting center. Brooklyn: They have a lot of depth now, but their roster is really aging. I just think they need a miracle of multiple players having resurgent all star level seasons to contend for a title. Chances are that won't happen, so I have them around the same level as Indy. Chicago: Kind of a wild card... depends on how Rose returns. I'm skeptical that he'll be THAT good, still, they have a lot of depth... right there with Indy/NJ, but not as good as the Rockets. One star team, and as Morey says, you need two... New York: Another one star team, and their depth is old and not as good as some of the others. I see them as being a step behind Bulls/Nets/Pacers and ending up around 5th seed in the Least. Not a legit contender. Memphis: I just don't think they have that guy who can take over the game. ZBo is kinda close, but he's not getting any younger and I've never seen him as a truly dominant superstar. Marc Gasol is overrated due to the lack of good centers in the NBA right now. Pretty deep team, but I don't think they have one "foundational player", let alone 2-3 like Morey says you need.
