The hornets are quietly the 4th best offense in the league behind only Warriors, Cavs and Thunder.

Great ball movement, and a lot better shot selection but most importantly they are the best IN the league so far at not turning the ball over.
They're bench is much stronger this year and they actually increase the lead or decrease the deficit when their benches are out there for both teams. I don't think they can keep this up but when MKG comes back next year their D will improve too.
Jordan doesnt deserve some of the criticism. I would've traded Kaminsky for all those Celtic picks but at the end of the day the guy can play ball.

I wish Thibs was as flexible with his offensive philosophy as his good friend Clifford

Hell no. Those Suns teams had zero defense. Warriors are one of if not the best defense in the league.

im suprised at how many people dismiss or dont understand the reasons for the warriors dominance

they are playing positionless basketball n switching like crazy .............everyone on their team understands what thhey are trying to do as unit ................sure curry isnt a lookdown defender but as the premier offensive player he doesnt need to be...................harrison barnes iggy n green are the generals on the defense .............plus if they want to go big they can put bogut in............

It's almost comical how much better OKC is with KD

westbrook is exciting to watch but u cant win a chip with him as your primary scorer unless you totally tailor your team around him and even then you not beating cavs/warriors or even clippers.................he is what rose would have been

 

[GilSho]

He was robbed in 09 & 12. He better win this year.

1st off leave Rose out of this

2nd, a Rose who was never injured in the first place probably would've eventually became more of a pass first guard (especially with the leap Jimmy made) and he probably would've never ended up putting up the sheer numbers that Westbrook puts up.

i meant westbrook is the closest to a non injured rose that we will ever see ............ i meant in terms of athletics
their games are pretty similiar too
anyhows

i strongly disagree with your second point why would an uninjured rose pass more?
an uninjured rose was the focal point of the offense and is actually the reason he and butler are at odds........
an uninjured rose is better than butler and doesnt really need to pass
the injury prone one we have isnt better that butler, needs to pass but doesnt want to as much

All of this is wrong actually. Rose and Butler aren't at odds because someone wants to be the "man", that's a story made up by the media, and he has been incredibly passive and isn't taking that many shots. He's been a pass-first player this season. In fact from what I'm gathering, the reason Rose and Butler are "at odds" (not really) is because Butler thinks Rose isn't playing his game and isn't attacking like before.

I say a healthy Rose would've transitioned into a pass-first player is because that's who he was before he got in the NBA, and I'd think that if he was to fail in the playoffs after being the primary scorer he would eventually start to fall back and as his team improved he would begin to rely on them far more
