    I want to see us win of course but I don't hate the Clippers.. I hate most other franchises at the top of the West so this isn't the worst thing ever.

    What I don't get is why the **** did George resign there last year.

    The Ryan/Paul contracts continue to be an anchor around the Rocket's neck, while other teams leap ahead of them in the West.

    I subscribe to the old saying "you are what your record says you are."

    Last year we were a 4th seed and could have easily been lower... Many other teams in the west have gotten better and i think we have gotten worse. I seriously think we are a first round exit just waiting to happen.

    I’m seeing most online nba futures betting off the board right now.

    Everyone is scrambling to get new lines out there.

    I'm sure I'm not the first to say it, but this is what actual "fireworks" looks like.

    Well if we are 7th seed definitely.

    We are not better than the Lakers, Clippers, and probably Utah at this point. Blazers are probably in our tier along with the Nuggets, so I think a 4-6 finish is where we are going to be. We certainly aren't the 2nd best team in the west anymore. We were last year, let's be real, GSW-Houston was the WCF matchup, but it doesn't matter now. We aren't the 2nd best team in the west anymore.

    Running it back is an insult to the fans, the team needs to drastically change.

    Wow, no idea what OKC is thinking. Fire sale for them this season I guess.

    Broussard is the basketballholic of nba twitter. Lowe, Stein, Woj, Shams and many others have him on ignored/blocked =p.

    I don't see us doing anything until CP3's deal is over. It might be too late because Harden will probably want out of here before then.

    Sadly, barring another team blowing it up running it back is the only option.

    What are they supposed to do?
    PG requests a trade to LAX. They have to make the best of it

    Decent haul in terms of picks. Perhaps they can sell the rest of their crap for picks, and tank for a new talent.

    Send Westbrook to the Knicks! Lol.
