With OKC getting Melo, are we even a top 4 seed in the West?

Are we now the 4th seed or the 5th seed in the West?

    We're strictly better than last season right now. Only team that could arguably leap us is OKC.

    3rd seed at worst.

    Roberson and George are going to lock people down nightly.

    They added defense and offense, if they manage their lineups correctly and space out their big three, their bench issues are pretty much solved. They are a better team than us this season on paper.

    We have been unanimously heralded as the 2nd best roster in the NBA for the past 2 months. Now that the Thunder have Carmelo we are suddenly a 4th or 5th seed? Not buying it. OKC does look dangerous, but I will be interested to see how that team works out. God I hate Oklahoma.

    Maybe. TBH I'm still more terrified of the Spurs than the Thunder.

    I'm optimistic, we are 3rd seed at worst.

    It always nice when people who need to be ignored make it this clear.

    Carmelo doesn't move the needle for OKC. Sorry, but he is now a glorified spot up 3 point shooter who doesn't rebound or play defense. Plus OKC gave up their best 3 point shooter in McDermott to get him. I don't think it adds to OKC's win total at all.

    LOL

    You know, I forgot about that, it was actually a mystery why McBuckets didn't play more in that playoff series, dude was on fire every time he put it up it felt like. I was happy whenever they sat him down.

    What "3rd star" does San Antonio have? Also, if you consider Anthony a third star you either don't watch basketball closely or are stuck in a time warp. Anthony isn't a star.

    Yeah, I didn't understand that **** at all. I'd have to check the stats, but looking back it feels like he played what, 8-10 mins per game?
