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

[lawdog1]

It's amazing to see dudes that have never played a sport or sorry at that sport discredit a championship. Mf'ers can really say anything over the internet.

Foresight like wanting the Lakers to trade LeBron after the 2019 season?

This post and the sole like sums up MVP post summer 2018 and 2019

Bruh, you were absolutely WILDIN back then

I'm sure you could, that's all you and the other members of my fanclub are good for.

Chill famb, you’re reaching Hijo Del Porno levels with that one.

 

[getback]

But you seem to really need to be big upping yourself in here right now for whatever reason, so I’m going to let you cook.

I think this the same dude who called himself a "savant" and took mirror selfies in a basketball uniform for us for some reason. This behavior seems consistent with that TBH

Probably receipts of him talking about himself in the 3rd person.

Waiting for JD617 to bless this thread with receipts

Lakers biggest fans are from the south, can't make this **** up
Must've been so tough rooting for the Floridamore Lakers

Not really clear what the Celtics-window-has-closed crowd thinks they should do. Trade Tatum and Brown? For who and what? Far from assured they’ll be better off than they are now if they did that. Could be way worse.

Having a window that allegedly closed is better than being in a basement with no window at all.

Well that’s the thing, there isn’t anything to do.

If you’re not a free agent destination, all you have is the draft & a prayer.

If your picks become all-stars but not quite tier 1 guys, Portland for example, it is what it is. You play it out and hope that 1 of your guys eventually takes the next step (Denver) or you get lucky with injuries one year & have a real shot to make a run (Utah).

I've never seen a fanbase of a "championship team" sound so insecure about their ring

Sure in retrospect, but it wasn't some foreign concept at the time. Believe JVG also suggested it to on air based on the toxicity of the team and the failed trade. But AD came and history was made. I can admit when I am wrong.

Getting real @Beach Em vibes in here now. Basically calling everyone dummies, but then complaining when the push back comes

Why bring the Warriors into this?

 

[HOU$TON]

It COULD, but it's ridiculous to proclaim that they've undoubtedly missed their championship window. Saying they may not win a chip isn't going out on a limb, that's one of the safest predictions you can make in the NBA. There's 30 teams and only one ring, it's really hard to win one. But to say they've already failed and have no chance? Cmon.

If you said in 2012 after losing in the finals that the Thunder missed their chance it would've been ridiculous. Even the Harden trade as bad as it was, right after making it to the finals, still left the Thunder as one of the better teams in the league and a perennial contender for the foreseeable future, which they were. If you said in 2014 after losing Westbrook to injuries that they missed their chance it would've been ridiculous. And if you said in 2015 after losing KD to injuries and missing the playoffs that they missed their chance it would've been ridiculous. No one could've predicted what would happen in 2016.

And you can't simultaneously claim that your prediction is accurate because there are always unforeseen circumstances and injuries but everyone else's predictions are inaccurate because there are always unforeseen circumstances and injuries. That's not how it works.

I never made a prediction about the Celtics one way or the other. I’m saying the fall back of how young the stars are is weak and literally means nothing. There have been just as young, MUCH MORE TALENTED players that ended up with nothing. The clock is ticking and y’all will just keep updated y’all post every year with “they’re only 2X years old” until it’s over. It’s been happening since the first ECF run.

Same could be said for warrior fans in here

 

[antidope]

THIS> The same old nonsense player debates

The end doesn’t justify the previous incorrect hot takes IMO.

thought most lakers fans are from minnesota

Who's complaining? I just made a statement that was true. I have a fanclub that does nothing but pull receipts, rarely ever contribute to any actual basketball discussion, hot take or otherwise.

Now???!!!!

 

[dman14]

did they ever release the Tony Soprano knicks recruitment video they did for Lebron?

at you justifying your poverty hot takes because they are “actual basketball discussion”. You sound like you’re upset that folks call you out on previous nonsense that you’ve said. EYE understand that everyone is built different so it’s alright.

"Knicks aren't relevant outside of New York"

I'm a basketball fan I enjoy a lot of good teams and players. What I don't do is pick one of the most storied franchises in the middle of another dynasty and then spend the rest of my life acting like I'm better than other people because of it.

We need some daytime games like the NHL Bubble once the NBA playoffs start...

That's the premise of a hot take though. Y'all too concerned about being wrong or whatever. Idc really. Somehow pulling receipts is supposed to shame me . They've been doing it for years, but when I'm on a roll being right with stuff it's an issue.
