Official 2016-2017 NBA Season Thread - NBA rules Chris Bosh has a career ending injury

[JD617]

I think 2-4 in the East will be the Celts, Raptors, and Pistons in some order. I don't see the Hawks in that group. We'll see I guess. *shrugs*

And is Dwight really better than Horford at this point, because I don't agree with that either.

 

[freeze]

hawks are gonna be cheeks bros. losing teague and horford and adding dwight will be disgusting to watch.

guarantee we hear dwight and german rondo beefed out by ASW

 

[antidope]

When a team beats LeBron's team in the East in a playoff series, then I'll believe they are a contender.

Shot you a PM bro.

German Rondo nice though. haha

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Horford is better than Dwight at this point

Not counting on Dwight to be back to his old self but I expect him to put up empty stats

The hawks aren't that bad though

 

[art vandelay]

I miss when Phoenix was good. They have some solid pieces for the future, but that logjam at guard is dumb.

 

[awwsome]

At least they have Devin Booker.

 

[art vandelay]

I think they're stuck with Bledsoe too, his trade value is low due to all the injuries, I like Marquise Chriss as well, but he's got work to do

Post your predictions in there.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Horford is terrible at what Boston actually needs, rim protection and rebounding. Celtics gonna get hammered on the glass

4 years 113 mil vs
3 years 72 mil

horford is nice, shoots too many jumpers and has slowed down a lot on defense. what exactly about horfords game do you value @ 28MM per?

Besides the too many jumpers, you just described Dwight. But a good Dwight is better than a good Horford, guess we will see

He's a great team defender still, his game has aged very well as he continues to get more effecient.

Dwight has regressed 3 years, has a history of injuries in his back and knees, can't shoot it from anywhere and has proven to be mentally volatile.


You go ahead with that champ.

actually horfords FG % has declined each of the last two seasons, how is he more efficient?


dwight is still a force on defense, in the 2015 playoffs he was a beast played through injury and put up crazy stats. last season he never got the ball

8.5 shot attempts per game, 13 points 12 rebs

horford last year

13 shot attempts per game, 15 points, 7 rebs


don't let any facts get in the way of your argument though.

the turnovers and missed free throws probably make horford more effcient.

 

[abubakr shaheed]

he said horford continues to get more efficent, not that he's more efficient than howard (which maybe he is idk).

im not a fan of either team, and neither team will beat cleveland so i guess there's nothing to be too concerned with

 

[wavycrocket]

Dwight and Milsap FC on defense. Watch out.

Dwight compliments Milsap's skillset well. And provides the rebounding and rim protection that Atlanta needs....that Horford lacks.

Y'all gon see though. Boston, have fun paying Horford 28 mil at 30 years old to continue to regress, not rebound and shoot jumpers with an average roster.

Have fun with that

 

[thirdtimearound]

Most of these big money contracts gonna look real ugly when players begin to regress in 3-4 years.
