SGA+CP3+Schroder trio has highest net rating in the NBA.

[Clippersfan86]

Pretty insane. I'm a huge fan of all 3. SGA will always be my baby boi, CP3 has grown on me again post Clippers, and Schroder is an awesome player to watch. The combined trio is +28.6 net rating per 100 possessions in 401 total minutes. Their clutch ratings are EASILY #1, and out of this world as well. When you add Gallinari into the mix (mad love for Gallo), they go up even further to an NBA leading +30 Net Rating for 4 man lineups per 100 possessions. What the Thunder have done hasn't gotten anywhere near enough attention. I 100% believe they have 1st round upset potential written all over them.

CP3- The old man in his 15th season finding the joy of his younger years teaching the young babies. Basically Luke Skywalker.

SGA- The franchise cornerstone of the future and superstar upside 2nd year player who's taken a huge leap, and has said he wants to go down as one of the greatest guards of all time.

Schroder- The front runner for 6th man of the year, who was known to be good, but never quite living up to his potential. This year he's really starting to put it all together. He comes into games and completely changes them, and often blows them wide open. I still think he's got all star potential.


Thoughts on OKC?

Thoughts on OKC?

They're irrelevant.

who is SGA?

who is SGA?

:oldlol: Yea, I'm sure you don't know who that is... one of the best young players in the NBA. Look at the OKC roster and take a guess.

[Im so nba'd out]

Schroder + SGA....thats a lot of high iq on the court.Then you add in a floor general / basketball savant like Cp3....I cant think of any team with 3 higher basketball iqs all on the same team off the top of my head.+ add a sniper in Danillo and a horse in Adams, who gets every offensive rebound.....i got the thunder making it farther than the Rockets.


I called this team would make the playoffs with cp3 in some thread before the season started.

I called it too. On another forum I said I wouldn't be surprised if they were the 6 or 7 seed. I agree, very high IQ core group of guys.

Their best 5 man lineup is also #1 in the NBA.

They're one average wing away from being a contender this season, no joke.

That CP3 impact doe! :applause:

Rockets: 40-24

Thunder: 40-24

The majority of people did not expect the 2020 Thunder to be a playoff contender and yet here we are, the Thunder being a playoff contender.

The Rockets should have kept CP3.

What I think they could use is Kenneth Faried. Reason being that they have a lot of perimeter offense but that Gallo is probably better defendingbat the 4. To be fair Faried can play off the bench even, but I think he'd fit well, would rebound the hell out of the ball.

his only problem is playoff injury... most know how good he is.

[Turbo Slayer]

his only problem is playoff injury... most know how good he is. Indeed. :cheers: CP3 has always been one of the most impactful players in league during his prime. RAPM, APM, and BPM has always painted CP3 as a player with tremendous talent.

It's a shame. Imagine if CP3 didn't get injured in the POs in 2018. The Rockets would have won the series against LeBron James and the Cavs. CP3 would finally get the respect and glory he deserves all along.

He is super underrated by many casual fans.

That's a good idea. Right now they're playing Terrence Ferguson who is giving them nothing.
