2015-16 NBA Western Conference OFFICIAL THREAD

[Mecca]

Never wanted Russell on the Lakers....I wanted Mudiay or Towns.

I know.

Towns was out of reach.

Mudiay time will tell.

I think both will be good.

If someone offers the max, the Wiz is are better off doing a sign and trade.

He can't stay healthy.

I really like Beal but this.

Portland giving GSW all they can handle early

@Mecca how do you feel about a Clippers/Blazers series? Looking like were heading that way unless Memphis finishes the season on a high note

Blake was......gassed.

I know he missed 2/3 of the Season.

But, Damn......

The Blazers are scrappy.

Those 2 little midgets can light up the scoreboard.

But, I think I would prefer to face the Blazers over the NWA Grizzlies.

That series could end in a knife fight.

And what Doc said is true. You need some luck to win a title. FTR saying a team need some luck to win a title is not calling them "fake champs".

Exactly. If nothing else, a team has to be lucky enough to get to the finals relatively healthy.

 

[Mecca]

Ps. Blake is less than stellar and we may be without Pierce and Green who are both injured.

So, yeah.....Blazers.

Redick, Paul, Crawford and Rivers will have to carry the load offensively.

 

[trojanfan12]

Why do people say klay is saying this? he barely even talks during the game, its all draymond. And who cares what way they say it? They wanna win

I don't think anyone is talking about during the game. There have been a couple of times after losses this season where Klay, intentionally or not, did appear to try to discredit a team that beat them.

 

[trojanfan12]

Personally, I like the Warriors. I really hope they win it all again given the bullshit criticism they took in the offseason as well as from some of the doubters currently. However, Draymond Green has to be one of the most unlikable people in the league.

I'm really on the fence. I do love the way the Warriors play. On the other hand, I have so much respect for Pop and the Spurs, that I'd like to see them win it too. Plus, if one of Kobe's contemporaries is going to pass him in ring count, I'd like nothing better than for Timmy to be the one to do it.

Love me some Dame.

Did you read this?

The possibilities gave me a headache.

But, the gist of it is Boston or Miami should finish 3rd.

Southeast Division is still up for grabs

 

[trojanfan12]

After seeing how he has played in Houston.....I'm glad he left the Lakers.

I said when he left that we were going to be glad he did.

Yeah read it earlier. I think Boston no doubt finish 3rd. Very easy schedule and probably doesn't lose a game the rest of the season.

If Wade returns this week, Miami has a great chance of going 4-0 and putting pressure on Boston for that spot and probably finish 4th. If Wade miss some games this week, we probably end up 5th or 6th.

My guess is we have a Boston/Charlotte and Miami/Atlanta first round

I have always been a Aldridge fan.

Before Davis's ascension, I felt like Aldridge was the best PF, or at least top 3.

But, nobody ever gave him his due because he not flashy and he played in Portland.

So, I would love to see him win.

Plus, after Blake, Kawhi is my favorite NBA player * Dame is a close 3rd*.

Leanord represents EVERYTHING that is great about sports.

Lakers gonna beat their ass.

 

[bksballer89]

Lakers gonna beat their ass.

I really hope so. I'm a big Lakers fan tonight.

It's only right for Kobe to beat Boston one last time

It would be nice to finish 3rd.

But, it's more important to go into the playoffs healthy.

So, I'm okay if he sits.

You guys won the series against Atlanta 3-1.

So, I wouldn't be crying in my beer if that was their 1st round matchup.

Yeah I'm ok with facing Atlanta or Charlotte. Just need to avoid facing Boston.
