Thank goodness Harden was in God mode. Everyone other than Harden and Capela turned in a dogshit performance. Can't believe I'm missing Ryan Anderson. [Reply]

The Pacers comment is ridiculous and complete revisionist history. Presti went and got a star player to keep Westbrook and have a shot. Oladipo is a product of redesigning his game and body. He attributes much of that to being in OKC. He also is allowed to dominate the ball. Indiana was shit on for this trade at the time it happened by everyone. Just because it has worked out for them doesn’t make it a bad deal. George was an all star and a veteran you can count on in playoff time. It was the right move for both sides at the time. It can turn out better long team for Indiana, but to go back and call it a bad deal is fucking ludicrous.

I didn't say it was a bad deal; I said he had a significant hand in rebuilding Indiana, which he did. They certainly wouldn't be where they are now without OKC giving them two critical pieces. [Reply]

Uhh, no. It was only “the right move” for OKC. For the Pacers, it was the best they could do because PG hung them out to dry when he went public that he wouldn’t resign and wanted to play in LA. That was a bitch move on his part. [Reply]
