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

[yobyellav]

A couple weeks ago the warriors were only needing to get Jarrett Allen for a near certain wcf appearance and now, here we are. Never had faith in this team finishing top 8, even when Steph was playing possessed. They still can, but if they sneak into the 7th or 8th spot, then what? If ball continues to get better, he’d be the obvious future when Father Time catches Steph and/or Klay.

Hindsight’s 50/50 though.
(I know the correct saying)

Propaganda machine was working overdrive.

 

[dman14]

getting blown out by the clips coming out the extended break isn't the worst thing
w's going be right there in playoff contention barring injuries

[art vandelay]

On a different note, am I the only one who reads/hears “the saga continues” that instantly thinks Wu-Tang?

Wouldn’t call it propaganda; we’re all prisoner of the moment sometimes. They’re obviously not out of it, but I don’t see many playoff wins if they get in.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Spurs have the worst schedule in the second half along with the grizzlies. Warriors will still make the playoffs

 

[Hijo Del Promo]

Thats his job.

If sports hot take people were ever held accountable for what they say, it would make cancel culture look like nothing.

They are paid to argue for or against any viewpoint whether they believe it or not.

ESPN thinks hes the best at it and they pay the man millions to contradict himself.

What an awesome job.

wouldn't be surprised if the spurs are sellers
derozan could still get them some value. would free up more minutes for their younger talent
LMA getting bought out/traded
watch them still make the playoffs

Woof

The Wardell propaganda has been ridiculous this season. Any measured take on the Dubs would have had them as a fringe playoff/play in tournament team. Which is where they're headed. Anything more was just pie in the sky.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

BIG LEEMELONE you think T'Wolves organization and/or lack of winning culture part of the problem? Team been trash for well over a decade - last good run of theirs was with 'Spree, Cassell and Garnett. Feel like everyone they draft/sign since then just 'goes through the motions' - Jefferson, Love, KAT, etc...

Apologies if I might've missed some 'flashes of brilliance' in the past decade regarding the T'Wolves but I don't follow them like that.

Please stay on the line while I direct your call to essential1

 

[Hijo Del Promo]

Woof

No worries, they have James Harden.

Isnt that right HOU$TON

 

[HOU$TON]

Can’t ever catch a break. I was hoping to get off his contract

 

[MajinZuub]

I always felt like KAT is one of those dudes that needs a certain structure and good coaching to be at his best.

Was talking about the wcf bound with jarret Allen take. I don’t watch the ESPN shows often. Like dude up there said, they’re paid to talk up teams and players for ratings. Steph still nice, but his teammates aren’t, including Dray. I wouldn’t have taken anyone saying they were contenders seriously.

 

[HOU$TON]

We got better. More athletic harden

 

[tay1]

Gordon plottin

 

[yobyellav]

Damn, houston. Murphy’s Law in action.....

 

[Hijo Del Promo]

If Kevin Porter ends up better than James Harden, ill eat my hot takes like hot cakes.

 

[amitt5504]

Cant Gordon and Houston agree to a buyout?

 

[datznasty]

datznasty @a-friend and any other Okc fans. Y’all need to start a SGA fan account on Twitter or something

He is legit a star. I’m thinking he’s the second best player in his draft behind Luka.

he really is, I'm still gon' be mad to give him 200Ms but if that's what kats are getting... I guess. And I saw the stat about how he's like #3 behind Chris Paul and I forget who else for his offense being entirely unassisted, created off his own dribble. He doesn't defend anymore though lol

 

[antidope]

The Wardell propaganda has been ridiculous this season.

You went on an "Anthony Davis is the best basketball on Earth" three-month-long campaign

 

[jab step]

Is this dude really the one behind the Smushscalade story?

Smush saved that girl.

 

[MVP]

He ended up #2 that wasn't a bad take
