It is quite obvious that the GS Warriors will be the heavy favorites to win the title this season. Although I am not a big fan of them, they have more than enough talent to make a run for the title year in and year out. All they have to do is keep the players healthy and get everyone involved, as has been the case the last two years for them.
yes mate they just needed to make sure that their starter will be much healthier to assure their appearance playing in the play offs
durant and allen might be a good addition to curry and thompson 3's attempt it would be a game from the rainbow and battle of the
shooter this coming season.

They were an epic choke job away from losing in the WCF, and not even making the Finals. Heck the Blazers, who only advanced because of injuries to CP3 and Blake, were putting double digit leads on them. They've played a total of 2 healthy good teams in 2 years, and went 7 both times.

Please don't quote in quote too much. Only last quote would be enough. Keep the thread clean, thanks.
I'm adding a poll to the thread. Which team will be the champion? What's your favorite one for this season?

Get your money down on Westbrook for MVP Imho.

Many reasons think this is a smart bet
1. No Durant so westbrook gets all the shots he wants

2. Contract year so he wants to ball in order to get a big deal.

3. He is pissed about Durant leaving and wants to show he can
get OKC far without any help
4. He won MVP of the all star game so he enjoys the big stage.

5. His odds are pretty dam good considering everyone will be on
Steph Curry and Lebron and others.

Obviously its no lock but as a decent size long shot its definitely worth
a few bucks.
I think I will bet on this too sir seeing westbrook to do all he can to prove that okc can still survive w/out Durant and the raise would be bet james and curry again westbrook will come out and get the title behind the back, maybe that's also a good drama for nba to create another tam to defeat. will see this things happen mate.
Yeah! the guy has a point in his prediction, we should thank him for bringing up the reasons on why we should be on westbrook. Like what happen in the past if you guys still remember, during the 1st finals of the warriors vs cavaliers, the favorites for finals MVP is lebron and curry but in the end it was iggy who goes out to be a winner and the odds was really good that time.
Although Iggy was given the Finals MVP award, we all know that Lebron played like a beast in that Finals. If only the award can be given to the losing team, LBJ could easily brought home that Finals MVP trophy. In the case of Westbrook, there's a good chance he will become a frontrunner in the MVP race, that is if (1) he doesn't get traded, and (2) he carries the Thunder to the playoffs.

Well I'm gonna bet for Paul George. Even though he came from gruesome injury he can lead the Indiana Pacer to championship with the great additional free agent that they pick up.
I am not yet confidence with the way Paul George is playing, he is actually an offensive player as he cannot consistently do it, the injury is still with him and I don't wanna risk my money with the injured guy that has not proved anything yet that he can take his team to the finals. On the other hand, Westbrook is more explosive than Paul George as evidenced by the way he played in the West Finals and even in the all star game.

If I am OKC, I trade him to the highest bidder and don't look back. This guy is fool's gold. No team will ever win anything with this moron as the 1st option. And don't say he could be a second option, because this guy is so stupid and stubborn he feels he should take every shot. Despite being an atrocious shooter that doesn't have a clutch bone in his body. Biggest fraud in the NBA and it isn't even close.

I often hate your posts, but we are in complete agreement here, brother.  

Although Westbrook will average sick PPG numbers this season, since he will set a league record in FG attempts if he stays healthy.

Is Draymond a true power-forward or Small-forward like Lebron?How would you classify Draymond based on what weve seen of him so far?
The thing about Bron is he can LEGIT play and defend PG, SG, SF, and PF. And at certain points center. Dray can defend damn near any position like Bron, BUT his offensive versatility is best suited as a PF\SF. When combining numbers as well as positions that can be played and defended, Bron is the most versatile player of all time.
i agree with you regarding of being versatile lebron can take almost or all the position as he can do better at is, it will be hard for us see another player that can deliver both ends, player that can shoot and protect well.
BUT among big men (PF and C), KG is the most versatile of all time. As versatile as Draymond is, KG was putting up 24 points, 6 dimes, and 14 boards a night. He could play a point forward role similar to Draymond. And EVEN defend swingmen to centers on defense. Plus KG did it at 7 ft!

i can easily name 10-15 or even 20 players who deserve a contract like that more than him
and nowadays because of all social media, tmz, etc. we (general public) also know if something bad happens off the court.


The media makes alot of hype for certain player and that makes them overrated although that they have only a decent performance. This is one way of getting popularity and get yourself a great contract otherwise you wont really get it just by playing great on the court everytime ( wait , you can be good on the court ALL the time though )

You are especially social media in which people or then fans of that certain player show some of its highlights it allows the palywr to become more popular and gain fans which i think leads the management to see and know it. The tendency then is that dince they saw how good the player is because of the highlights the will get it
Player highlights alone can't get you too far if that is the only thing you can show for. The management isn't that stupid too rely on just video clips and signing a player because he is hyped by social media. That assumption is rather flawed since we all know that the best players are those who work the hardest and make their game speak for it.

Well i haven't said that  players highlight alone can get you too far, i have only said that it would be a great boost for them as they become more popular and when management means business having a lots of fans will surely be considered. We cant deny the fact that everything also comes to business, no matter how good you are but when you were left behind of the competition you surely eithier get a slot
NBA is an entertainment so they would value more on the entertainment than the real competition, some games are intentionally rigged in order for the fans to witness a close games and that would make them feel the thrill and will get the worth of their money, that is NBA and player with so much publicity will be more popular and will help the NBA to stay profitable.

What can you expect for? Im sure they would invest on very known player because no one would provably love to see a player whos fame is questionable thats why they will go to players who have more reputation since it cam give more money to them, but i dont think the game time was payed but the players itself because they can give competitive win's on those basket and any of those stronger team can give 0-4 records as i've seen in nba.
That is NBA where amazing happens as they say, everything is all about the profit even at the Jordan era. They are promoting players for the NBA to be well known in every part of the world. Base on my analysis, after Jordan era, it was Kobe Bryant and now it is the time of Lebron James, so I would tell you fellas don't bet against the king.

Well i cant argue with you dude. Lebron really is too good but i dont think that is to be considered as the new king and this is his era. Well sorry because i am a curry fan so i must go with him thru thick and thin. Come on guys NBA is a business model type. Not all you  saw was all true. Just my perspective tho

Can you point out accurately and 100% those players that has talent has been removed or forgotten because of media hype?

Let's take some deep analyzation later if you can state some.

I want to know this too who are the players involved in that kind of media system conspiracy. I don't see how will this talented players removed because in the first place if they are really talented, they are known mostly by NBA fans thus no reason for the management to removed them because they aren't making money for the league.
Easy because in every team the coach who decides who will survive and come out from the team may be the coach not need that's player.

From a fan's perspective, that would be hard to accept. If some of the games are really rigged, as you are saying, would the fans still enjoy it as much knowing that the outcome has been determined even before the jump ball? I know there are referees that have changed the way games have resulted, but for the entire league to conspire in something this big would just drive fans away.

The media are just making the player even more better because of the too much expectation, say for example, Lebron James is not that really a better player than Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant and since he is popular he gets the favoritism in the game and he is favored with most of the calls, remember that fans are watching the game because of the superstars, without them playing it will not make the game good.

Definitely, the media is just driven to make a certain popular because the public likes it to happen, and when they promote a certain player they earned from their ratings, there are many great players in the NBA but not popular and still make their team a legitimate team to compete.

This is one way of getting popularity and get yourself a great contract otherwise you wont really get it just by playing great on the court everytime ( wait , you can be good on the court ALL the time though )

You are especially social media in which people or then fans of that certain player show some of its highlights it allows the palywr to become more popular and gain fans which i think leads the management to see and know it. The tendency then is that dince they saw how good the player is because of the highlights the will get it
Player highlights alone can't get you too far if that is the only thing you can show for. The management isn't that stupid too rely on just video clips and signing a player because he is hyped by social media. That assumption is rather flawed since we all know that the best players are those who work the hardest and make their game speak for it.
