That was probably the best playoff series of the entire playoffs bro...Both teams had the exact same record going into the playoffs. They were evenly matched. Don't let your trolling ruin your rep of being a knowledgable mofo.

embarrassed? da frick? Who exactly was embarrassed? the players? nah coaches? nah fans? nah who was it then?

I know I don't have to remind you that even Lebron-Wade-Bosh didn't win a title their first year. It takes a little time (see: Year 2). To win at the highest level takes chemistry and familiarity that aren't developed overnight.

That is the goal. The guys are gonna work their tail off all year long and you'd better believe that they'll be a tough out for any team come playoff time. I can't say they'll win it all but I tell you what I definitely wouldn't bet against it.

I'm just using boom logic

Davis can't be considered a top 5 guy bc he hasn't led a shite team to the playoffs

Once upon a time d12 and harden led shitty teams to the playoffs

Now these two top 10 players team up and add another top 30 player only to be beat up by Portland. In theory that knocks them down a few rungs

They may have been evenly matched record wise but there is no denying the work LA put in against that top 10 center

That isn't an answer. It is a yes or no question. Oh and:

PER don't lie. Neither do the GMs in the GM poll. There are many arguments that can be made that Howard is the top center in the NBA. PER is one of them, yes.

If you were starting a franchise today and could sign any player in the NBA, who would it be?
1. LeBron James, Cleveland -- 50.0%
2. Anthony Davis, New Orleans -- 25.0%
Kevin Durant, Oklahoma City -- 25.0%
Last year: LeBron James -- 89.7%


Interesting.

Most GMs > Demps

They'd be able to put a solid team around him, I ain't exactly shaking in my boots over here at Dell Demps's Pellies. Obviously Morey ain't either or he wouldn't have given you guys Asik.

That's probably accurate. Houston with two top 10 players SHOULD make a deep run. If they don't its a major fail.

To be fair, a "deep run" for the Rockets franchise is the second round of the playoffs.

2 championships in recent history only a handful of franchises in the whole NBA can boast that. Go bark up another tree, this is the wrong one homie.

Legit question. When does mid 90's stop being recent history?
