    Yea. At this stage, McCollum is pretty much a young Klay. Size is there. Shooting touch. Playing alongside a good PG.

    They have no offensive options outside of Lillard and CJ. They'll burn out for sure.

    Oh noes, Klay didn't celebrate on that Iggy's layup! Chemistry problem :rolleyes:


    Is Stotts going to rest Lillard?

    Sacramento Kings drafted Jimmer Fredette instead of Klay Thompson. :)

    Just for good measure, they also drafted Tyreke Evans instead of Stephen Curry. But nothing beats David Kahn drafting Ricky Rubio, but even more so, Jonny Flynn over Steph. Passing on him TWICE. Again, hindsight is 50/50, but fun to look back.

    The funny thing about it is people say. "Well at least Lillard tries at defense!" and Harden is apparently a better defender all while not giving a ____.

    The Blazers lost 4 starters from last year and were expected to suck bad. The rockets won 56 games and were expected to be good. Big difference

    Harkless is only 22? I could have thought he's like 25.

    Why are you trying to draw parallels as if what people were saying about the Rockets is wrong. Rockets chemistry was garbage all season long.

    No, Just Rockets wansn't a good team at any point of the season. It's that simple. Maybe last year was a fluke, maybe through all the injuries they had an underdog mentality.

    If your hindsight is 50/50, see a doctor immediately.
