Houston has improved every single year since Harden arrived. That's changed.

I agree. But healthy, they have the ability to put a dangerous lineup of there.

Y'all have a nice team. But way too flawed to win a title.

Great logic. A year ago, the Heat had been better than the Cavs the previous 5-6 years as well.

Randolph is in his mid-30s and no team with Gasol as its top scorer will accomplish anything. The Grizz peaked in 2013 thanks to Patrick Beverley.

Because you signed Matt Barnes and brandan Wright? ha.

I want to see the Grizzlies succeed but your lack of offense will do you in per usual

in all seriousness, do you think the bulls, bucks, and wiz are contenders but the hawks arent?

That would require the Grizz actually win a conference finals game--ever.

I'm just not sure how you could actually believe that.

i like this a lot. i guess you have to have the thunder that high, but maybe you dont. is washington really a contender? those are my two possible arguments, but im fine with where you have them.

Because we are better than Houston. Not sure what you're missing here?

Yes. Westbrook, Durant, and Ibaka can put up 80 together pretty easily. And I think Donovan will really help out Kanter (assuming they match).
