I was apprehensive about the trade for a Brodie but it was worth it. He’s a great change of pace to Harden. Easier and harder to gameplan for Houston. Obviously he isnt the threat on the perimeter like cp3 but he brings something to the table that harden and cp3 don’t in terms of pace and tempo. I don’t even care about the shot selection. Only thing that really bothers me is the turnovers, particularly the unforced ones

Everything rides on Westbrook this year, which is spooky and high risk but high reward as well. We know more or less how everyone else on the team will play in the playoffs... so it comes down to whether Russ can be the '18 CP3 game changer, who can carry the squad when the others are mental midgets.

Only problem is, while he has the durability and motor CP3 didn't, Russ can be a turnover prone dummy himself.

Here's a plat thread for someone:
Kevin Love calls LeBron James’ FIT-OUT’ tweet ‘extremely passive-aggressive and silly’

I didn’t plan to go here, but the whole fit in/fit out thing from your first year with LeBron. Was he right?

I think on one end it was extremely passive-aggressive and silly. But at the same time, I feel like I did have to find my way and fit in. But it wasn’t an easy process for me. I think right now if that happened — it wouldn’t because I believe who I am now and the growth I’ve had — but I truly believe that you have to understand. That’s why I never make assumptions. We’ve talked before about “The Four Agreements,” right? Never make assumptions, never take anything personally. Well, obviously I took that personally. I wish I could’ve handed them that book and been like, “Listen, you’ve got to understand what it was like to be the main focus, 20 shots a night, be ‘the guy.’” My star dimmed a little bit to have to sacrifice. So at least just acknowledge it. All I wanted was a little bit of love. All I wanted was (a pat on the back, an arm around the shoulder). I never got that. I think I just wanted a little bit of love.

Mavs whooping the Raptors ass in Toronto, whooped the Sixers ass in Philly, beat the Bucks in Milwaukee, all without Luka. Is it still too early to call them a legit contender?
