I don't see why Perks is still shooting like shit while a guy like Ibaka who wasn't that good of a shooter either coming in the league, is now actually shooting three bombs and draining them with a decent percentage. Perks needs to work on his fucking jump shot. Fucking Perks.

OKC has been overrated since they were "still good" after trading Harden.
I'm not even watching the game but Denver is Denver... inconsistent as fuck.

OKC couldn't buy a 3 pointer after the 1st quarter

Bogut looked healthy in the last couple games though.

Poythress and Cauley-Stein would be smart to stay, Goodwin will end up going though. He won't get any pt behind the Harrison twins and James Young.
I'll treat it the same way I always do with them, if they make it to the playoffs it's nice. Anything beyond that is a pleasant surprise.
seeds 3-5 are pretty tight.
eddit:after tonight I think that take the 3 spot.
i still think memphis has the best chance to do the most damage out of those 3
When Ibaka decided it was better for his team to shoot jumpers than learn how to be an effective post scorer and how to effectively work on the glass, he proved that he was useless for OKC going forward.
It's because they have no real #1 option.

Poythress and Cauley-Stein would probably be coming off the bench next year as well if Randle commits to Kentucky though.

They aren't doing shit to the top 3 seeds. Curry, klay, and lee defense lol. Playoffs are a different ballgame. No one is going to let them jack up easy 3s then.

it's their offense that worries me. Their defense is amazing though.

Ibaka has made himself more than a one-dimensional blocking machine. His arsenal now consists of a decent jumper that can be counted on in the dying seconds of a shot clock. There's a reason people leave Perks wide open. His shot's ugly and he couldn't nail a basket if his life depended on it.

They're 12th in defense even though Bogut has had like three good games this year. If they get the Grizzlies and their team is healthy, they can definitely win that series because Bogut could shut down the paint while the Grizzlies brick the open threes that the Warriors give them.
Their offense is actually much improved after the post-Rudy Gay lineup. They've slipped a little bit into their old habits at Denver and Utah, but I'm not too worried about that.
edit: An article published today related to the subject, "Looking at why the Grizzlies offense is better without Gay"

Why? They can probably trick some teams into taking them early even though they're garbage ala Austin Rivers.

Don't let the regular season fool you. It's like when phx was technically 15th on defense too. Warriors won't know what hits then come playoff time.
memphis can't do shit as long as hollins is there
its pointless for them
Clippers to troll us all
edit: ibaka blocks all the shots in the world but can't actually stop scoring on the inside - and for every block he goes for he allows two rebounding opportunities. he could've learned to stay inside and get his weight up but OKC's coaching staff doesn't like giving out criticism it seems...
edit2: i remember when the knicks were a top 10 defensive team

Tiago Splitter abused him by using pump fakes, hook shots, and such. Dude goes up in the air for blocks way too much. He needs to watch Duncan play defense and learn how to stay planted on the ground until the right moment
I don't think it'd be a long series either way... either the grizz beast inside and stifle the clips style of play or memphis goes stupid again and the clips run all over them
it'll be decided by game 2 and because vinny and hollins are both retarded, no adjustments will be made and that'll be that.
At least he's been trying to not be complete moron recently. And there is no chance he can start the fourth quarter of a game seven with Haddadi and Arenas on the floor at the same time.
As long they stay healthy; with their well known defensive prowess and their improved offence, they got a chance to go far this off-season.
I hope Lord Gasol goes super saiyen during the playoffs
why? so far their games this year have been pretty close

Nuggets half court game will probably crumble under Memphis' super slowdown pace.
Naw
Its hard to get past actively horrible coaching. Some bad coaches simply remove their hand when they need to, but Hollins ain't that dude.

Lobs are nice and all, but if you can't defend the 3, you're not going far in the playoffs. We really need Bledsoe back.
Hollins has shown a willingness to play his best players 40mpg+, in the play offs, he won't hesitate to just leave them in and back off.
He's not brooks bad anyway.

is it too early to proclaim Boston as the winners in the Jeff Green trade given that Jeff has seemingly learned how to play basketball while Perkins core competency remains scowling at people and generally not doing anything

Don't the Nuggets stay at Five because they aren't number one in their division? Right?
So it'd be them vs the Grizzlies. Which is fucked up because both of those teams would give that pipe to every eastern team cept the Heat.

GS, Houston, LA, Utah, DAL and possibly Portland could potentially be the 2nd seed in the east.
I don't know if I'm the only one, but a long long while ago when I lurked these fine here forums, there was a thread about some dude who fucking was just going about his day, doing his daily whatevers and *pop* testicular torsion... and every now and again, once in a blue moon, I might cause accidental pain to my cocklage, as a fair gentleman might, and a couple of minutes ago I did just as such as I accidentally misjudged my strength on a quick sack adjustment and I mishandled my goods.... And I thought long and hard and long and hard... And no joke, serious shit, I finally finally understood seriously what it is to be a Knicks fan... 
what a scowl it is though!
