They are so good it's comical, and it's still a make or miss league. At the end of the day, I don't know if you can do anything or construct anything to beat these guys.

Are you kidding me? IT > curry Lonzo > Klay Ingram = KD

He still has a sweet jump shot. When all three guys are playing well, OKC looks formidable. Adams too. I just don't think they can survive the playoffs. |
When the postseason hits I think OKC will have the best chance against GS.
I don't believe in Houston. Kerr is a better playoff coach than MDA. And Paul and Harden tend to underachieve in the playoffs. Paul is normally hurt, and Harden normally chokes.

Golden State's "reign" is likely half way over. |

To do what, exactly? Take away time from Randle and Kuzma? |

These guys are beatable. Fragile. We do it to punch them in the face, and reclaim our throne atop the pacific.

Fatigue catches up with teams. Those long Finals runs will catch up to them like it did with us in 2011. At the end of this year, they will have played 476 games since the start of the 2015 season. Given how the Rockets, OKC and the Cavs matchup with the Dubs, even if the Dubs win it all, they will have played over 500 straight games in 4 seasons. That's a ton of wear and tear. Talent or not they're not robots who can keep going and going. |

Not to wish this on him, but Lebron is due for a good burn-out too. 7 straight finals + team USA. And he's 33, which ain't exactly a spring chicken in basketball years. I'm sure his body would appreciate a summer off. |

I wouldn't worry about it. LeBron is made of 100% pure Wakandan vibranium.  |

As soon as the defense goes, and it will be the first thing to go, that's when they'll start their slide. Some younger, more hungry team is going to take the crown. It takes a lot of effort to play championship caliber defense. They're at their height right, don't expect anyone to beat them this season, probably next season as well(although it will be harder, a couple 7 game series). 2019-2020 is probably the season they'll be knocked off. But even then it might be in the finals.

Good point, defense is where you can really see the cracks start to open up. Anyways, its really a defeatist attitude to just throw your hands up and hand the trophy to GS every year. Anything can happen in professional sports, an injury, a string of bad games, a major roster change, anybody can beat anybody and if we put a good enough team together then we surely have a shot. |

Looks like a non-contact injury. Not good.
OKC's chances of a better seed and an easy 1st round matchup got much better. |

Damn, that looked really bad actually...non contact. Thibs at it again, I’m sure either Butler, towns or Wiggins leads the league in minutes players and I’m sure the other 2 are right up there. I hope KAT gets out of there, he’s a potential HOF player.... |

Pistons have lost 4 of the last 5 games with Fake Griffin. I give West credit for dumping him. Pistons might not even make the playoffs.

3 in the top 15.
Wiggins, Towns, and Butler are all top 10 in total minutes. Thibs is a joke. |

Hate to see Butler go down like this. He's one of the players with incredible heart. But it was inevitable it seems with Thibs.
On another note, another playoff spot open? |
