The Regime

That's no excuse because he going to be going up against the best perimeter defenders and facing double teams all season long. Westbrook is an underrated playmaker. When he needs to he can facilitate, he just has a scorers mentality. Like I mentioned earlier he's going to subject to alot more attention now that he's the #1 option. Spot up shots and drives to the basket are going to come at a very small rate. As of right now he doesn't have any game in between those two things. The game is significantly easier when you're playing alongside two superstars. No doubt teams game planned for him, but it's different accounting for him when he's playing against second units and playing alongside Durant and Westbrook.

Well that couldn't get any easier for the Pacers.

Paul George showed a nice post up game early in the first half but hasn't been really involved in the second half. Needs to cut down on the turnovers though. I'm telling you guys he's all-star in the making this season.

His career highs of 16,4,4 are nice as a sixth man, but the dude choked in the playoffs. I don't see how the Rockets expect a third wheel to become the focal point of their offense. He's had the luxury of playing behind two superstars, who warrant most of the attention and cover up his deficiencies. He excels most at driving to the hole, and even with that he's goes left like 90% of the time. Teams are going to gameplan for that. Miami took that away from him in the Finals and he couldn't do squat. He's still really raw offensively. In OKC he has the luxury of spotting up, as the #1 option for Houston he's not going to get the same shots.

One of the most overrated players in the game, and this contract will help back that up.

This is just absurd, he's no where on the same level as Curry or a Lawson. I guess the Raptors have money to blow, and seeing how they haven't been able to attract big time free agents they might as well keep the current core players in tact.

I expected a slight learning curve, but this team has a ways to go on both ends of the floor. Gotta win tomorrow night.

Bigs are shooting 3-15 from the line, that will rarely ever get the job done.

Oh good this has been brutal to watch. Mike Brown is a [expletive]ing tard.

I was expecting offensive hiccups, but the defense has been extremely disappointing.

Nash is so out of position right now. We need him to dictate the offense more and stop walking the ball up the court every time. He has been really underutilized to this point.

A bunch of to's and missed free throws. Need to clean it up next half.

I want to see more p&r with Nash and Dwight/Pau. Nash doesn't seem very comfortable moving without the ball.

Mavs really making it a priority to get the ball into Curry lol. Lakers need to pull away already.

Defense needs to pick it up a notch, but the offense looks fluid.

Three buckets in the paint for Kobe. I like it.

Brandon Wright is in for it tonight.

Ray: "KG didn't see me, thats why he ignored me...his head was down... " Ray is classy but you no way you can cover up that incident. Lol.

Haha I was just about to post that. Looks like a new trend starting.

Hmmm, sounded a lot like beat LA lol.

[expletive]ing Garnett gambling on defense and killing any momentum that the Celtics had. Rondo does work though when he has guys that can run the floor with him.

Are the Heat fans really chanting "beat LA"? Atleast they're smart enough to realize that the Lakers are the team to beat.

And that's why the Pacers have the best chance against the Heat. Better wing play offensively and defensively, and they'll actually make the Heat pay for playing small boy.

Jeff Green looked good in the preseason. Can't say the same thing about today though.

Celtics just look winded. That was their opportunity to make some kind of push with Lebron out.
