2021 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: Media Day...SHENANIGANS

[smedroc]

I was waiting for someone to mention Bron. I feel like I've heard that a million times over the years (some of that is just slandering to slander though I know)

Bron might be the only player in history that got better when his handle got worse

 

[lawdog1]

I simultaneously laugh a litte and feel a little sad when a term like "washed" starts getting used by the mainstream media.

 

[HIM]

All this to beat Chris Paul?

I forgot all about this narrative last year. Like teams only sign players to beat one team

 

[shuges]

The really funny thing is that the off-season kicked off immediately with Chris Paul supposedly heading to the Lakers.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Maybe. But I could say the same for him practicing threes.

You rather Nic in the post where he was feasting on that PNR with Beard last season or out on the perimeter jacking jumpers?

Everything he’s going to get will be based off the big 3 creating for him. So yes an open 3 is more likely to happen then a post up

That wasn't the question.

Would YOU rather him on the PNR cutting to the hoop or taking 3s when you will likely have at minimum 2, sometimes 3, or maybe even 4 of the players ranked among the top 3 point shooters in the league all already on the floor at the same time?

that’s how he already plays. I’m telling you him posting up and doing footwork stuff in the off season is a waste of time. He’s more likely to shoot a 3 than to get the ball on the block from anyone

 

[shuges]

Bro, you ducking the question.

But there's no ill will here.

I just hope he shows out this season, whether he's shooting 3s or finishing at the rim.

 

[pums]

Claxton should be working on the short roll and the corner 3

 

[addict4sneakers]

That's why I see Rob's vision. He built an excellent roster this year.

Lakeshow more balanced than BK.



We shall see. Hopefully he worked on his conditioning this off-season.

Watched a 30 sec clip of him practicing with Beard and he threw up a foul line floater, a 20 footer from the corner and two 3 pointers.

That's fine and all but I hope post moves and footwork was on his summer diet as well.

I told you that’s already how he plays. He’s wasting his summer posting up and trying to have some great footwork.

regardless they still probably trust Blake over. And probably alrdridge. It’s hard to be a young player on a contender. But nah dead that post up work.

I don't disagree because he has a lot of areas he can improve in. But did you guys watch Clax last year? Son was lost when the ball got dumped down to him in the post. His points basically came on alleys, o boards and breaks.

 

[Moheezy]

Who's got the worst looking game doe?

MKG?

they gotta be at least an all star. I’d say Joakin Noah and Sean Marion.Ron Artest too.

Yeah Marion's jumper looked like ****. I felt his handle and everything else looks solid though

Noah is a good one too

"Bro...you gotta work on your post moves this summer. It's a key part of our offense"

That man's third eye is wide open

 

[lawdog1]

^^^ I’d love to see Earl’s full college class schedule.

Sounds like man's going through high school all over again lmaooo

Is this Laker team the oldest ever? Up there with the old Celtics teams of the 80s?

 

[Blue Mamba]

Thought it was going to say Lakers or Nets
