Houston is just young outside of KD.

Sure but they're not too young to win. Ime has coached a Finals. Durant has played in four Finals. Houston made the playoffs last season.

They may need another jump from Sengun and some OKC championship-fatigue to get there and if that's the case next season will be their best opportunity. 

Just saying two years from now I think Durant is going to be too old unless the guys around him seriously elevate and KD settles into more of a 2nd/3rd option.

Houston is elite. They might finish the season around 8-9 SRS and MOV, which are carried by their offense having the best 3pt shooting team and historic offensive rebounding. That defense has slipped though. Something to keep an eye on, but they were top 4 all of last season and are 15th now. That's too much of a drop to just blame it all on FVV being out.

They might have enough to stay top 4 in the West after KD if Sengun is a yearly all-star and both of Amen and Sheppard get better. It's hard to say. The West has a lot of good teams.

CP3 to retire after this season. interesting career. wildly succesful as an individual, but hard to say where he stands among his peers all time.

I'd put him above both Westbrook and Harden. YMMV.

One of those nights that my HS loses the state football6A championship in MN (first time playing in it since 1987) and also this happens in a span of 20 minutes

Makes one question of what’s the point of following sports and just take up theater & the arts. Go to plays. Performances, whatever. Something that won’t kill your will to exist

Talk about the west, all I know is it’s Thunder, then Nuggs, then Lakers, Rockets & Spurs, then everyone else. Wolves underachieving so far. Warriors look like they’re going to only put in so much effort to make it as an 8/9/10.

Only have the late in the season matchup with OKC in Denver with my half season ticket. Gonna have to cop the 2/1 game with my discount.

He was better than anyone has ever been without being great.

I hate paraphrasing Bill Simmons, but I remember him saying something like, "If you need a good game from CP3 in the playoffs, he'll give you 23 and 9. When you need a great game from him to win...he'll give you 23 and 9."
