    Kidd deserves a Golden Raspberry Award.

    I used to get annoyed by him too, but then I think about how obnoxious I would have been if I had access to ClutchFans when I was 13, and I let it slide.

    You probably would have championship by now with Harden.

    So yeah, I guess if you don't like winning, then thanking Morey is the right thing.

    I see Grapenutz is still in strong denial. It's the first stage of grief. Next...he's gonna really start lashing out at all of us. Can't wait.

    I don't know why y'all even pay Grapenutz any attention.

    Really, really, really wanted the Dubs to beat the Mavs tonight. :(

    James Harden, 6th Man of the Year, is a pretty good starting point for a bench. Besides, if a team is smart, it is pretty easy to put together a good bench. Look at the bench guys who contributed to the recent Houston wins. Garcia: minimum wage. Brooks: minimum wage. Casspi: Minimum wage.

    I like the trade for OKC. They had three extremely ball-dominant guys and traded one for a bit more balance & depth. There is no denying that they are a contender once again, and it's not at all obvious that they would be better if they still had Harden.

    I don't think anybody questions their status as a contender. Just about every team with a star tandem are realistic contenders. Harden just enhanced their bench and would give them even more firepower, and as last season showed, could serve as some insurance towards injuries if they were to arise.

    I thought they looked better last year than they did the year before, with Harden. Yeah, they would have done better when Westbrook went down, but they weren't going to beat the Spurs (and maybe not the Grizzlies) without him regardless.

    I tend to agree. Spurs were balling last year. Parker and Duncan were out of their mind. Not sure how the Thunder would have passed them up.

    I see Mike Brown has started DNP'ing Anthony Bennett. Sooner than I thought.

    Also, Dunleavy has been a disappointment. Lots of room for him to step up with Rose + Butler down, but no dice. I thought he would be a good look during the offseason, but I think Casspi was hands down a better pick-up.

    Cavs are TERRIBLE at drafting. They get top 5 picks every year and still can't get it right.

    "We're not struggling," World Peace said. "It's part of life. You know how life is. We had a bad hair day, you know?"

    World Peace signed with the Knicks in the offseason, passing up an opportunity to stay in Los Angeles with the Clippers, largely because of the lure of winning in New York.

    "I honestly didn't even know who the coach was when I was coming to New York," World Peace said. "I just wanted to win a championship; I didn't even know who was coaching. I didn't care. It could have been Aunt Jemima. They could have had the syrup coaching. I was coming here regardless. I just wanted to win a championship here."
