That would be the Bulls.

OKC had Westbrook miss 20 games, Durant miss 55, and Ibaka miss 18. The Bulls only managed 5 more wins and a 2.54 SRS compared OKC's 2.47, a team who had Telfair and PJ3 running Point Guard for them at the beginning of the season. Embarrassing.

Inb4 you brings up wack ass Taj and Flabby and sick Rose/Noah missing time.

Wack squad.
Whose FO traded away an MVP runner-up again? :sas2:

Can't see why y'all don't got the Knicks making the playoffs. Don't they got

Lopez,
Kristaps,
Mello,
Aflalo,
Grant

That should be good enough for a playoffs birth in the east

The Heat; Bucks, Magic, and Pistons have gotten bigger, while the Cavs; Bulls, Hawks, and Wiz are locks to get in. There's a good chance it'll take a minimum of 42 games to nab the 8th seed, I see the Knicks winning 38-41 games.

Kristaps won't be ready. He'll have moments, but bad defense will keep his minutes limited. Really wish we had another shooter at the wing. Grant-Afflalo-any shooter-Melo-Lopez would be good.

Why you dodging what he said? You know you moved the goal post all last year as we were winning. Or you saying you changed/deletes the posts?
How the fukk am I dodging what he said, when I'm telling him I NEVER made those posts to begin with. How am I supposed to provide evidence, that doesn't exist? How hard is that to understand? Show me where I was moving the goalposts all last year.

Yall Hawks stans are completely DELUSIONAL. :mindblown:

shyt is baffling tbh

At the end of the day Russy and KD won't be able to coexist, not after what Russy did in KD's absence.

That second fiddle shyt is not going to fly, no way no how.
Yeah he did so much that he didn't even make the playoffs :camby:

Your point?

If the Thunder are the most overrated team in the NBA what are the Bulls? They just lost to a Cavs team with an injured Irving, Smith missing the 1st 2 games, no Love, and Lebron shooting 39% from the field. How pathetic is that?
Yes, I'm pointing out a crucial fukk-up by your front office.

Cavs were a 2nd seed team with amazing chemistry during the second half of the season, I honestly didn't expect for us to come out with the series win. Did I feel better about our chances with an injured Love & Kyrie? Yes. If anyone recognized our flaws, they could see how inconsistent and out of sync we were all throughout the regular season. Add in a coach who couldn't put together an offense to save his life and you got a disaster waiting to happen. Even Thibs defense was looking mad suspect then. In no way did I think we could beat Lebron's squad with the way we looked last May.

We traded away a potential runner up MVP and was still better than the Bulls the following 2 years. In the 3rd year, the OKC big 3 each missed `18+ games(KD missing 55) and the Bulls only managed a 0.06 higher SRS rating than them. Whose front office needs to be checked?

You mention Thibs like we didn't have Brooks sitting on our sidelines.

You guys come back with the same roster that lost to a Cavs team with Kyrie injured, Love out, Smith missing the 1st 2 games, AND Lebron shooting 39% from the field. Yet you call OKC the msot overrated team in the NBA? Lol...

I'm talking about this season. People are hyping your squad up to death it's not even funny. Top 3 in Vegas odds when really y'all should be neck and neck with us, below the Rockets and Clippers until KD can prove he'll remain healthy this season.

Let's see.

We're healthy haven't been in years, we have a much older roster then usual. Brooks is no longer the coach. We have actual 3pt threats, we have defenders, we have lost post offense if needed. We have two superstars entering their prime. Outside of health risk I'm not sure what's the issue :manny:. KD been playing basketball for 2 months now. I think he's fine.
