Very shocked that there's no thread for the NBA. I suppose this is a thread where you can comment about performances of certain teams, individuals. You can also give an opinion of remarks too by certain individuals too. 

Welp, Mark Cuban is at it again. He did provide a very intriguing statement about a banged up OKC. "The question I don't think anybody has asked is, why don't they pull a David Robinson and try to get Tim Duncan?". Not that I entirely agree with Cuban's comments at all, but he does have a point when it comes to not one godforsaken soul asking such option. What is your take on Mark Cuban's recent comments about OKC?

Mark Cuban has never been shy with his mouth. Grant it he is one of the most brilliant minds in the game of Basketball but let's be real. He will soon be ran out of Dallas if he keeps running that mouth of his. 

I am hoping my Orlando Magic and San Antonio Spurs have a good season this year

I thought he said OKC should tank this year?

Not sure OKC has the roster to win the championship this year even with Durant and Westbrook. I haven't seen a growing pattern in their roster/main components since 2012, which is a recipe that won't cut it in the Western conference. They're finally getting SOME depth, but honestly, I'd put 3 teams in front of OKC in terms of contenders of the conference.

I will say, however, OKC has the potential to be the most dangerous 8th seed ever, if they fail to be ultra-competitive and fall down the standings these next 3 weeks. So we'll see.

I believe he said it should be an option. Not sure about THE option however

I know to think that a team of KD, Westbrook, Ibaka to tank is just idiotic but is it plausible? I'm not saying they shouldn't tank, I'm just saying it's not prospeterous.

Of course it's preposterous. You only have so many opportunities to win the NBA title in your prime. And look at it from an OKC perspective. Durant is a free agent in 2016 - you think tanking is going to increase your chances of keeping him? Absolutely not. And you might potentially have only two more runs with the 2nd best player in the world on your team. You don't tank. Period. And it's idiotic to even think about it.

OKC has a awesome starting 5 but there bench is suspect. Right now as a true wizard/Bullets fan I can say go Wiz at 5-2 holding it down with Miami. But the west scares me...the power house teams of normal are well not there at the moment. Maybe because it's still pretty much the new of the season. But OKC going to see the rockets, Griz, Warriors and Spurs is going to be a death sentence for them...I see them getting bounced out in the first round...maybe even not making it...depending on how it goes. But the rumors are that OKC only have two years to get a ring or good ole KD35 will be bringing his talents home to DC.

I've been really into this season. Go Cowboys

Westbrook coming back. Very timely for OKC

NBA fell off like the forums
