    Honestly I can't see the rockets beating the clippers and they have a very strong chance of coming out of the west.

    The thunder are fools gold like the blazers. As soon as you take the ball out of Durant's hands and clog the paint westbrook is useless. Thats all you really have to do.

    The thunder are very good but I'm not convinced Brooks knows how to adjust. Seems like their offense gets pretty stagnant and they just rely on their talent. I saw a lot of this the last three years with Vinny and the Clippers and so far things look a lot more fluid under Doc.

    I'm glad he has something to comfort him and cling to. He probably runs it on replay 100x a day just like you do.

    Terrible defensively with an inexperienced group of guys playing for the first time together/harden starting first season/ no howard.

    It doesn't take a genius to realize that. Thats just like me asking you why the thunder didn't make it to the finals last as evidence they won't this year.

    I'm confused as to why you're here and not on an OKC forum.

    Classic troll is a classic troll. It's really not all that confusing.

    Rockets are #9 in defensive efficiency. Just curious, would you be a regular hater on the Wizards forums right now trash talking them if Harden were traded there for Beal instead? It's mind-blowing how much of a hater you are. I pretty much wish all players traded from the Rockets well.

    I honestly dont hate Harden. But a lot of clutchfans were trashing OKC and Presti this summer. So now I make it a point to let em know whats up ;)

    Last I checked it wasn't just clutchfans trashing Presti about the Harden trade, it was basically the whole league aswell.

    If you want to have a go at the person who hated the trade the most, may I suggest using the following webpage.

    It's really not hard to see why Clutchfans, as well as virtually 90-99% (you and a few other OKC fans being the 1%) of basketball minds thought the Harden trade was bad for OKC.

    Ujiri confirmed for hating chuckers, He also got rid of Melo as fast as possible when he took the job in Nuggets.

    By the way, I don't think people here understand how important it was to get rid of Brian Colangelo for Raptors. He was the idiot who told the coaches to keep the "star" players happy, no matter the cost. He ****ed up the team with stupid trades. With Ujiri at helm, Raptors might end up becoming a formidable opponent next year.
