What happened was Us vs them last season. Him playing hurt, makes them worse

I don't know, Cool...he's choosing to opt out of American medical care to instead go for the medical system of Eastern Europe...seems kind of desperate and ill advised to me. Would you rather see us play Denver than LA?
When did the injury happen? I expect him back in 4 weeks from that day. I don't really care who we play, as we have to beat everybody to win a championship. I would just rather not have to watch a series with the Lakers. The incessant whining and compaining and drama is just not enjoyable to me.

A Denver series will be so fun, so I'm pretty excited for that

I agree man, it would be a fantastic watch.

Honestly a huge story line for the last 3 games is Wemby. Wemby needs to play in 20 minutes in one of the last 3 games to get to the 65 game limit. If he does not make it Chet if the favorite for DPOY and eligible for the super max and an extra 80 million to hurt the Thunder

I don't understand how NAW took such a massive leap, honestly hurts watching him at this point. I was in favor of keeping Naz over him, shows how little I know!

He's shooting three pointers 1.8% better and .3% worse from two pointers from last season. Just a much higher volume this season with more opportunity. His free throw percentage has skyrocketed though. He was in the Ron Harper Chicago Bulls role here where Ron averaged 20+ before going to the Bulls, and averaged 7 his first season with the Bulls and played defense. If they make the playoffs, I'll be curious to see if he can play consistent in the playoffs, which he never did here.
