OKC is +850, Clips 12-1, Houston 22-1.. Pelicans are somewhere in that mix with those 3 as 2nd-tier contenders. Davis is too good.


Y'all realize national exposure like this is the 1st step to bringing KD here, right?

I saw his tweet saying that it was outrageous that we had 45-1 odds

You forgot:

Harden's game scores against teams like the Pels are low because he doesn't get up for bad teams bro

And

Harden's game scores against playoff teams are low because he gets tired.

Hey, bill, these oddsmakers know more than you about hoops. And so do I if you believe pels belong in that tier. Last time a team came from 6 or 7 seed to win the title... Who was it bill? It was clutch city guess what Bill, Olajuwon ain't walking though that door. That team had the clutch gene. This one Ain't won a playoff game. 45-1 is pretty accurate IMO.

Do you jack off to trolling this board or something? That's the only explanation I can figure.

Anthony Davis will be better than Olajuwon.

your best player is into the fattest, ugliest Kardashian.
Kardashians destroy anything they touch.
Lamar Odom - out of the league.
Reggie Bush - injuries and missed potential
Ray J - terrible rapper
That white-looking basketball player - sucks now
Kanye - mentally insane
Olympic Decathalon champion, American hero Bruce Jenner - giving up his manhood and becoming a woman
James Harden - ?

? --> another first team all nba selection, wcf appearance at a minimum, maybe MVP. Who knows? One thing I know for sure is that Davis will never surpass Olajuwon. Olajuwon is Mabye the greatest defensive player in league history. Davis allows 50% at the rim. Not even in dreams stratosphere defensively.

had. key word, had.

funny thing is, the 6th seed in 2013 became the 1st seed in 2014 and won the title.

interestingly enough, Olajuwon in year 3 at 24 years of age led his team to a 42-40 record. What's that? Davis in year 3 at 21 years of age led his team to a 45-37 record.
+1 Davis

Olajuwon Year 3 posted: 23.4/11.4/2.9, 1.9 SPG, 3.4 BPG, 3.0 TOV, shooting 50.8/20.0/70.2 in 36.8 MPG. He also had an ORTG of 111, DRTG of 99, PER of 23.8, WS of 10.9, VORP of 6.0, and an USG% of 26.8.

Davis Year 3 posted: 24.4/10.2/2.2, 1.5 SPG, 2.9 BPG, 1.4 TOV, shooting 53.5/8.3/80.5 in 36.1 MPG. He also had an ORTG of 122, DRTG of 100, PER of 30.8, WS of 14.0, VORP of 5.7, and a USG% of 27.8.

The following year, Year 4 Olajuwon led his team to 46-36...only 1 more win than Year 3 Davis did for his Pelicans.

Agreed, but he might be just the better overall player. Basketball isn't all about defense...look at Shaq.


shite...

Your hatred of AD and any team other than the ones you like is amusing and somewhat sad.

It's called having respect for the game. Clearly tran doesn't. You don't compare a player who hasn't even won a playoff game to an all time great. It's disrespectful to Olajuwon and the game of basketball.

Instead of responding to it in a logical manner you go all "GTFO bro srsly" and throw a hissy fit.

If anyone even makes a passing remark about a rocket you get all defensive and start throwing out bro this and this.

You should follow the examples set by your fellow rockets posters.

If Olajuwon is so great, why should he or any of his fans be so butthurt by someone comparing a rising star to him?
