It won't matter. A couple of snapchats from Draymond and he'll be a traumatized wreck.Gonna be hysterical following that trainwreck chase the average triple double while missing the playoffs. That's not MVP material, but his marketing team can magically spin it for him.

I'm not sure about that, Oladipo would really need to step up his game and they still haven't replaced Durant at SF. Their team actually looks pretty terrible without Durant.Still a really solid team with Westbrook, Oladipo, Adams and Kanter. Definitely expect to make the playoffs.
I think one of those two has to come off the bench though. I don't think, especially in todays game, that either have the speed or quickness to match up on the other end, and Kanter doesn't shoot well enough from 18 to spread the floor for Russ to attack (I shudder thinking about Adams popping for those jumpers). The West really isn't all that this year on the bottom half of the playoff spectrum, I do expect them to compete for somewhere between the 6-8th seed then pretty much get swept out of the first round.
Really think they will trade Russ, as I highly doubt a man like Presti would consider losing two top-6 players in consecutive summers for nothing, unless they get a guarantee that he'll re-sign. With the cap jumping again, I can see a contender opening up just enough space to entice him to leave and win a championship, but I don't take any stock in the Lakers rumors, their roster with Russ this would be even worse than the one OKC has without him.

The spacing is going to be terrible, that is a given. Probably will be the worst 3-point shooting team in the league. But it is going to be a tough, physical, athletic team who dominate the boards. Similar to the ground-and-pound style of Memphis I think. He has re-signed too. He won't be walking next summer.
Really? Adams became a star in the playoffs. Westbrook is still a top five player. Kanter could average 20/10 if he played enough minutes. Oladipo is no scrub either. There is a hole at SF though, but nothing can be done about that. Aside from Golden State, Spurs and the Clippers who is better than the Thunder? It will be a battle but I see them on par with Portland, Utah, Memphis and maybe Houston in that next bracket.
I think you have to add Dallas, New Orleans and Denver in the mix as well, OKC could easily end up outside of the play offs. Adams is a good player but he's not a scorer. Hard to see where the scoring will come from aside from Westbrook.

And Warriors @ Cavs on Christmas Clippers-Lakers as well, nice.On opening night:
Spurs@Warriors
Knicks@Cavs
(Not sure if I should post this in the Olympics thread) but, it is nice to see Team USA getting tested again in international basketball. Klay and Durant have struggled shooting, Draymond does not seem suited for this team at all and USA's defense has been ball watching these last two games. Nice to see Teodosic competing against NBA players and Jokic was dominant might be a breakout year in the NBA for him.
Steph's dad is Dell Curry a former NBA player of African-American descent. Dell played 15 years in the NBA with the Hornets, Milwaukee Bucks and Toronto Raptors. As far as Curry’s mother and grandparents are concerned. According to NBAfamily Wikia: “(Sonya) Curry is an African American Creole and Haitian ethnic background from both her parents side” and Ethnicelebs mention "his grandparents (on both sides) are all African-American."
Shaq's a hall of famer now.
Where do you rank him among the all time great centers?
Got tickets to NYN v Houston in early November, it will be my first NBA game experience... Cannot wait.
Does anyone have any recommendations as to what to do before or after the game? Should we get their early, etc?
Eat and drink before the game. Don't pay $15 for a hot dog and a bud light. There isn't much to do early except watch the shootaround.
There's a Nathan's right across...oh, wait...I'm not a real fan of hotdogs anyway so that suits me just fine.

Hot dogs...they have good hot dogs. Nathan's hot dogs.I don't know what this means, but I'm sure it's funny?

Are you a Knicks fan? I've just got tickets to the Knicks vs Hawks game on 20th November. It's a mid afternoon game on a Sunday aswell which i'm happy about.
I'm obviously biased since I follow the Dubs, but I would have thought even for the neutral Golden State will be the team to watch. This team could go from one of the best to ever play the game to an absolute car crash where everything falls apart. My money is obviously on the former, but there is still a faint tickle at the back of my mind that says it may all end in tears. Can't wait!Warriors are obvious favourites and if nothing extra-ordinary happens injury wise, they will win the title and possibly even get close to their 73-game record. It's sort of boring following them now so I'll focus on everything that happens outside of Golden State.

At media Nerlens Noel made it an easy decision for the 76ers. Expect him to be the young center to get traded out of the three.
Will the Lakers ever be good again?
Also Raptors seem decent too these days?
Not very fast if they keep spending $15m a year on players like Mozgov.
Raptors are good but they're sort of screwed by the fact that Cleveland are pretty great.
