Your telling me that tlance is right on something?

lol We actually agree on most things.

I was just giving some sheet to the audience. Tlance is a great poster, and on the Logicman scale he is at 78%.

I appreciate that bro!

Not sure what 78% means, but thanks!

Yeah, this is starting to look more like chemistry than guys just getting used to playing together and new roles.

I don't want to say that they aren't going to get it together, but, as I said before, they're starting to get a Lakers with Kobe/Dwight/Nash feel about them.

Said the same exact thing about a week ago.
With the Lakers that year, amidst all the injuries, everyone wanted to play their way, D'antoni wasn't the right coach for that team, and it ended up with Kobe having to play hero point guard to keep the team afloat. I don't know the ins, and outs of OKC's team, but it seems like they tried to make it work a certain way, they struggled, and now Russ feels as if he has to go back to playing hero ball point guard to keep the team afloat

I still can't believe the Thunder actually gave us usable players for Carmelo. Now if Kristaps can stay on the court for more than 2 games at a time we might actually not completely suck.

You are above Wiggy on the scale if that makes you happy

Kanter can score and rebound. Good teammate. But zero defense.

Score and Rebound. Good teammate.

Sounds very usable if you ask me.

I agree but I was expecting absolutely nothing for Carmelo so I have been pleasantly surprised by the production of the 2 guys we got.

I really like Kanter. He has many flaws as a player, but he is the kind of guy you definitely want on your team. He is not intimidated by anybody and he is completely unaware of his standing in the league. His willingness to go at KD and LeBron in the media is just awesome.

I like Kanter. But I've also been pleasantly surprised by Carmello. I was never a Carmello fan.

Kanter's bigger problem in OKC was he made to much money for a back up center.

What @tlance would probably call "The Westbrook Effect."

Rightfully so, too. Dudes a spectacular athlete, but when it comes to sharing the ball, he makes Kobe look like a combination of Magic and Steve Nash...lol

I think the originator of this was the "Iverson Effect". All world talent, just incredibly difficult to play with.

What's strangely funny to me is I was a huge Iverson fan, yet can't stand Westbrook. I totally understand the hypocrisy in that, but it is what it is.

And a HUGE contract.

Likewise!

I think it has something to do with wisdom and age. I was a teenager when AI went to college. I got to watch him play a few times at Georgetown and I loved his style. Don't think I would have thought nearly as much of him if he came up today and I was watching him as a 39 year old.

It's a solid C where I come from.

It's a solid C where I come from.

That's why I wasn't sure if it was a good thing.

I know there about 50 games left for most teams but if we get OKC/Minny in round 1, who would you guys like based on how the 2 teams are playing so far?
