2022 NBA Offseason Thread: Preseason kicks off; Things are fine in Los Angeles, Draymond beats the charges

[moonman818]

Damn

Bruh literally just slipped.

AD has like 3 of those per season. It was in no way traumatic

 

[wavycrocket]

Shorty really going to be tough.



Straight shenanigans . If I’m a team like….let’s say, the Hornets

But the Talent level is truly ridiculous.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

It was pretty evident in college that Alfonzo couldn’t really get into the paint and was scared of contact. Giddey makes a living in there, but can’t really shoot the 3 (yet). Passing vision is the same but Giddey’s is more effective since he gets into the paint.

Yup, all of that. Lonzo really was a lesson for me on how to think of skills realistically improving

Simmons also as an even better example

A more high end example is Kawhi Leonard/Giannis

 

[Mister Meaner]

2peat then hang it up

 

[datznasty]

Giddey is king of the eye contact I’m just going to throw it over their head when they’re not ready and you’ll notice it and catch it before they notice pass. Its high risk but it works often enough

Duren doesnt look that big, hes more lean and lanky looking right now than Amare Stoudemire looking

Ivey looked exactly like Morant on that drive, even the finish.

On a scale from 1 to Sean Livingston, how bad is this video

Because if it is really bad, I'm not hitting play

He slipped and his knee buckled. Cats saying it look bad have weak stomachs.

 

[Based Jesus]

I'm just gonna assume I'm too high to see it anyway

 

[addict4sneakers]

Great value kawhi

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Banchero is gonna be a professional scorer if he aint one already

Dunno if it's gonna lead to wins or deep Playoff runs but he's a bucket

Big week for tough guy energy in this thread

 

[datznasty]

Dieng 2 3s in a row from above the break

And Corey Joseph got exploited by Poku 2x in a row. He might need to start working on his resume. Also he put on some lbs

Definitely agree. Bruh gonna be a problem in 2 years max.

We've seen so many crazy sports injuries. If that is what some people consider the worse, then either they are forgetful about Paul George, Alex Smith etc or seeing any kind of injury makes them dizzy. That has nothing to do with "tough guy energy ".

Didn't you say you punched up somebody playing basketball? I would say you helped fuel it more with your story and accompanying texts. It went from being about Draymond and Poole to the time Antidope had to box up a man while playing basketball.

 

[elpablo21]

I'm not eem gon' lie I flinch at most of this stuff now compared to when I was younger.

A light ankle turn be having me

now

 

[adobecs4]

Bol Bol going brazy

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Banchero is the goods.

 

[CJMcfly26]

Bol Bol better get some solid minutes this season.

Oh I am not tough. It was a very relevant story. Moreso how interesting that is. How people can do whatever. Including how two sets of people who will never cross paths had such a very similar life event

 

[antidope]

Is there a consensus GOAT shot blocker? The commentators we’re talking about it being Manute Bol and that seems crazy. Its just Hakeem on an island to me

It happens more often than you think and it can get even more violent than that. Some dude stabbed and killed another dude for trash talk over a game of footy. All jokes aside it should never get that serious where violence is involved.

I had to check to make sure wasn't trippin but Hakeem is by himself lol

Eaton up there

 

[Based Jesus]

Ja beating up the Magic at home right now for no reason

 

[VARNELL HILL]

3.5 / 8

More like 1.5 out of 8.

This is nowhere near Livingston bad.

Livingston got taken off the floor on a stretcher.
