2015 - 2016 NBA Thread - NBA where amazing happens - all rookie team named!!!

Yesterdays game was a perfect example of this, when they had a big advantage over the Cavs in the backcourt match up, but instead of trying to exploit this as a unit, they simply did what they always do,


Maybe that advantage wasn't as great last night..
 
Maybe that advantage wasn't as great last night..
If there wasn't an advantage with Westbrook as your guard vs a team that had only three guards Delly, JR and Cunningham then when will they ever have an advantage..
BTW I love Cunningham's defense, and even though the kid has no handle what so ever (to me he looks nervous dribbling) the team plays better with him because his footspeed and fast hands cuts down on dribble penetration, and to me its more important than scoring (something Mo Williams can do better).
 
I think come mid January they gonna get in a nice groove...

I mean their like the 3rd best team and been injuried since the 2nd rd last year.

Folks gave them props for their showing in the playoffs for being injured but won't give them luv now...

Cunningham, JR and Shum attacking the rim will help them go a long way.
Previous they would stand and launch 3's...
Why be predicatable when you're not 65% from deep. Keep the defense off balance... That normally helps the coach gaining trust in your effort and energy. Who knows u might get a foul here or there.
 
The only good match up OKC has on the Spurs is in the guard position but keep in mind they played a Cavs team who had Cunningham, Delly and JR as their guards and they still beat OKC... To me thats a red flag, especially if thats your game plan to beat the Spurs.. Also the Spurs have Leonard who, like LeBron did last night, they can throw on both Durant and Westbrook

People been talking about the potential of OKC for the last 5 years and now its at the point there we have to consider that maybe all that so called potential just isn't there.. The main differences I see between teams like the Cavs, G.S. and the Spurs with OKC is that the Thunder parts do not equal to their whole while thee other whole are greater than their individual parts sum..
Meaning OKC are a bunch of individuals with good numbers but as a whole unit they are lacking.. Yesterdays game was a perfect example of this, when they had a big advantage over the Cavs in the backcourt match up, but instead of trying to exploit this as a unit, they simply did what they always do, turn to Durant, Westbrook, and sometimes Ibaka .. Until they learn to adjust to their opponents weaknesses as a team, instead of always attempting to overwhelm with their strength individually they they will always be that team with good regular season numbers, failing to be able to beat the teams who can adjust to their style of play..
I don't get this... They've had the parts but the past 3-4 seasons either Durant or Westbrook has been hurt. They've got better offensive parts this year and a new coach ing staff. I feel okc bench better than Cleveland but like you said Donovan gotta get it out of em.I've noticed he putting the whole second unit in around late 3rd to early 4th .....trying to get them some consistency.... It backfired as the cavs went on they run lol. But like where he taking the team. One thing I hope he can break is ibaka tall ass hanging around the three all the dam time. Shit get on my nerves lol

1Golden State Warriors
2San Antonio Spurs
3Oklahoma City Thunder
4Los Angeles Clippers
5Dallas Mavericks
6Memphis Grizzlies
7Houston Rockets
8Denver Nuggets
Utah Jazz

This is as of right now; I think Clips will be 4 or 5 seed; Memphis will be 4 or 5; Mavs will be 6th, followed by Houston and Utah(if they get there center back)

I'm smoking because I had them as a 3rd seed but as of now they're in the 4th slot... Ok :lol:

Good start by the Clips. They are sharing nicely and hitting their open shots.

spurs really need Danny Green to start hitting. He plays a lot of minutes and they will need his shooting deep in the playoffs. Right now, Leonard is the best shooter by percentage on the Spurs. Mills is still doing his thang, but they will need Green to be way more efficient deep in the playoffs.
 
David West doesn't fit with the Spurs. He still hasnt found his role. Right now he is just a body that doesn't make mistakes.

If josh smith shoots another 3, I'm going shoot myself.
 
Good half by both teams.

Clippers are shooting well and the Spurs are shooting above average from the 3 point line. Clippers match up extremely well against SA.
 
Them bucks ain't backing down...

Carter Williams matching Cheat Code and his jumper ain't consistent
 
Kosi OWNS Durant. Now 16-4 vs. that man.

And he passed MJ on the all time rebounds list tonight. Next up is Clyde The Glyde. :cool:
