Minnesota veceras docekuja rakete
jel vise vrime da skor bude na 0.5

Nabrojiš čitav program, a ne spomeneš poslasticu večeri: SAS-OKC!

istina, s hardenom u petorci protok lopte je puno bolji, no OKC je podosta opasniji kada ima RW-Harden-Durant vanjsku liniju nego je to slucaj sa sefoloshom na dvojci, a ono zasto ovakvoj oklahomi trenutno netreba neki cisti play je to sto ibaka i perkins jeli, nisu nesto pretjerano naoruzani napadackim arsenalom u reketu (isto tako mislim da harden nije sposoban za ono najbitnije, a to ce biti u onim najbitnijim utakmicama paziti brzance poput paula i rosea) ...

Za Westbrooka se ne slažem definitivno, jednostavno činjenica da su mu dali novi ugovor govori sve. Iz aviona se vidi da je cijela ekipa OKC-a sjajna klapa, svi se međusobno podržavaju, i da je on sjeme razdora škartali bi ga definitivno.
Općenito mislim da je problem Thundera trener, Brooks ne može uvesti nikakav napadački sustav ni kvalitetnu obranu, a to su 2 stvari koje bi ih digle na svemirsku razinu. Čak i ovako neorganizirani su kadri uništiti bilo koga, ali i biti pregaženi ako trojka ne odigra dobro.
Russ stvarno nekad zna izgledati ko crna rupa, ali u pravim rukama mislim da bi igrao drugačije. Ne vidim u njemu neki ego, pokazao je već gro puta da je spreman ostaviti srce i kosti na terenu ako treba. One priče o sukobima s Durantom su mi uvijek bile blesave, pa non stop na terenu vidiš high-fiveove i tapšanje + svaki novinar koji je radio intervju s njim kaže da je momak sjajna osoba i nije nimalo umišljen.

Uostalom i Simmons je pisao o tome:

10. Now that Oklahoma City has extended Russell Westbrook for five years, does that mean we can shelve concerns for an Avon/Stringer ending with Westbrook and Durant?

I'll answer the question with a question: Did anyone else notice that Westbrook started playing out of his mind the moment Oklahoma City gave him $80 million (and he knew he was staying there)? That HAS to mean something, right? Travel back with me to last spring, when Westbrook (a terrific kid by all accounts) got ripped for his shot selection in the 2011 playoffs (most famously by the TNT guys), took those comments personally, went into a semifunk, became something of a scapegoat for Oklahoma City's collapse in the Dallas series, brooded all summer, then played the first month of the season (pre-extension) with a defiant anger that didn't totally make sense.

Or did it? Look at it from Westbrook's side: He probably believed he was just as valuable as his buddy Durant (and for the most part, he was right), only everyone loved Durant and never criticized him for anything … but when Westbrook did something wrong? He got slammed. That made it a no-win situation for him — even worse, he knew it — which was why Westbrook's teammates (Durant especially) spent an inordinate amount of energy those first few weeks worrying about Westbrook, cajoling him, praising him, rubbing his head, slapping him on the back, engaging him and doing everything else you'd do when you're trying to make sure someone doesn't drift away from your tribe. I caught them in person in Boston two weeks ago (during the height of the "Westbrook for Rondo" Internet frenzy) and was stunned by how angry Westbrook played. He seems better now. Eighty million has a way of making someone feel a little more secure.

Still, that doesn't answer the fundamental question: Can Oklahoma City ever achieve its potential without Westbrook accepting that he's the Pippen to Durant's Jordan? Avon and Stringer aren't the right pop culture analogy anymore; there's a better one. A New York reader named Yoni explains: "Is it just me or does this whole Durant-Westbrook situation remind you of the relationship between Russell Hammond (lead guitar) and Jeff Beebe (lead singer) in Almost Famous? Just as Jeff could never quite understand how Russell takes the band to a new level with his guitar, Westbrook doesn't quite understand that KD is a franchise player in a way that he can't ever be. And if OKC makes T-shirts, Durant will always be front and center, and Westbrook will always be in the background as one of the 'out of focus guys.'"

(Making $80 million from 2012 through 2017 … but still.)

Monta? Čini se da je još uvijek obilježen onom sezonom kad je Curry došao, zadnjom sezonom tiranije Dona Nelsona (meni jedan od najantipatičnijih trenera ikada)

Pogledajmo situaciju danas: igra sjajno (21.5 poena po utakmici), surađuje s ekipom i odlično razigrava (6.7 as/ut), dakle nije crna rupa, bez ikakvih sukoba sa Stephom... U svojoj fantasy ekipi imam i njega i Currya i nenormalno je koliko bodova donose zajedno.

Jedino što mu se može zamjeriti je što je odlučio posaditi drvo na sebi:

Sve pet, nemam ja ništa protiv Westbrooka, već sam deset puta rekao da je vrhunski igrač, a i da mi je jako drag.
Naravno da je postava Westbrook-Harden-Durant najjače oružje Thundera i da mogu razbiti bilo koga, ali isto tako je činjenica da u tim situacijama ne postoji igra za visokog igrača, ja ne znam da l' sam vidio najobičniji pick u takvoj situaciji na terenu. Naravno da sam kao navijač Oklahome prezadovoljan sa ovim tercetom, ali kad bih mogao birati - definitivno bi ovim Thunderima nadodao igru pod košem. Čak i ako to znači žrtvovanje/zamjenu Westbrooka. To je poanta onog što želim reći.

Leonarde, ja mislim da ne postoji ni teoretska šansa da Clippersi mijenjaju Griffina, pa na njemu su praktički izgradili čitavu franšizu.

Stavi ti bilo kojega igrača na poziciji na kojoj igra u GSW i da vidim igrača koji bi napravio puno više na ovako jakom zapadu.

neopredjeljen sam oko Monte, teško je reći nešto konkretno.
