⭐ OFFICIAL 2020-2021 NBA Off-Season Thread: Olympics begin 7/23; NBA Draft 7/29⭐

I know it’s early but yeah, GSW may need to inquire about James Harden....

Steve Kerr can coach right?

This is an interesting question though. We're going to learn more about what type of coach Steve Kerr is. We've seen him take a good team and make them great but can he take a below average team and take him to the playoffs? He seems to be doing the Phil Jackson, stoic, "let these guys figure it out" thing but I'm not sure if that's the right message for this type of team. Kerr is a great coach but I'm not sure if he is a rebuilding, ground up type of coach. He's never been in that spot before.

I don't understand why y'all just blatantly lie like this.

You are propping up the same Kobe Bryant that refused to shoot in the 2nd half of Game 7 in a winnable game because he was trying to make a point that he needed competent players around him.

I still don't know where this narrative came from. When Kobe took one shot against the kings in the first half in the playoffs, he was being stubborn and trying to make a point. Against the suns he was gunning in the first half and keeping the Lakers close. The second half was him following Phil's game plan and trying to get the team involved. That was when phil came back to coach after calling him uncoachable. Not quitting on the team

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Not ready to say Ingram is ahead of Tatum in that Gen Z debate

I give Tatum the edge because of his playoff history even tho he be looking shook at times

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

I think a lot of y’all are forgetting what was said when he won that unanimous MVP.

Remind us

 

[MVP]

storm2006 not even talking about all time cause any knowledgeable basketball fan knows he's not in Bron's or Bean's class, I'm talking about right now. wavycrocket still on that propaganda with him being the best in the league with KD and Bron and he ain't eem THAT.

 

[B Sox]

I was just going to say I like this style of game. No over the top 3 point shooting. No lack of effort on the defensive end on both sides. A nice, quality overall game so far.

It’s 2 of the best teams in the league. Not like the game we just watched previously

Oh yeah because KOBE BRYANT is the one to only take a SINGLE SHOT in an entire half

Kobe wanted to make a point. It worked in his favor and voila Pau Gasol.

Uncomfortable question returns to haunt Kobe Bryant

Encouraging that the Celtics are hanging with two contenders with Kemba on the sidelines.

This team needs someone who can get to the line I feel. It's the one missing piece offensively.

2 of the best?

 

[bostoiah]

Irving def gunning for 1st Team All NBA this year

Think Luka is a lock again (barring injury) for one of the backcourt spots. Leaves Harden, Trae, Dame as his competition for 1st team probably

 

[Zo gif]

Motion offense needs high IQ players.
Warriors lack that no more Livingston and iguadala esque players.
Steve kerr has to adjust

IT was great at that. Haven’t had someone who can get to the line often since him

Tatum got to the line 7x a game in the playoffs. He was getting the hang of it. Jaylen has potential to improve there too I think. More and more willing to go to the hoop strong.

 

[B Sox]

2 of the best?

Too soon on the Nets? I think they’re deserving of the talk.

DeMar to the celtics

Too soon on the Nets?

I believe so honestly. Too early to call with them.

When I was a kid I believed this. But then I grew up and realized what BS it was. Kobe was making a point that Suns game

Sure he was getting trapped and doubled. But it’s game 7.

 

[storm2006]

HEEEEELLL NOOOO storm2006

During that unanimous run, people said he was the best player ever and better than LeBron. **** that. Never better than Klay or KD.

See MVP ’s post below. Do you mean best at the time (15-16) or of all-time? I could certainly see the former and there’s a case for it but the latter simply isn’t true

storm2006 not even talking about all time cause any knowledgeable basketball fan knows he's not in Bron's or Bean's class, I'm talking about right now. wavycrocket still on that propaganda with him being the best in the league with KD and Bron and he ain't eem THAT.

I agree, he is not in Bean’s or Bron’s class all-time. Everyone knows that. Thank you for the clarification But as of right now, coming into this season with KD coming off an Achilles injury, I could I could see an argument from him in the 4-7 range with KD. Really depends what you want to do after Bron/Yanni/K. It’s a Sohi sample size against two Finals contenders but he’s looked like hot garbage. Everything from his demeanor, aggressiveness, etc have all left A LOT to be desired.

 

[B Sox]

Don't really get what Brad is doing with this lineup against this team. It was fine against the Bucks. Not the Nets.

Grant instead?

 

[bostoiah]

Hearing Ariel call an NBA game is a trip Vincent Van Goat

 

[firstclass]

Putting TT on KD didn’t work in 17’ won’t work now

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Ariel

This guy is the ******* luckiest mf'er ever

 

[storm2006]

KD is too damn good

 

[JustBlaze.]

KD is a killer.
