Official 2017 NBA Offseason Thread: Media Days begin

[freddy fig]

Jordan hit dat boy lavar with the kung fu kenny...***** be humble!

 

[noblekane]

spurs fans and the sports media started out with talk of cp3 and lowry and late chatter of kyrie irving

ended up signing washed rudy, manu, and pau, and patty mills

hey atleast they still got koala and danny green

 

[noblekane]

Don't know what the spurs were doing this summer.... I don't think they a top 4 team in the west any longer and if they end up being top 4. Kawhi deserves mvp

i cant doubt the spurs as long as pop and koala around

 

[freddy fig]

Dem new orleans wildcats

I'll at you , but Id put giannis at 6. Russell is in that 6 through 8 range. Very overrated when people think he's close to being a top 3 NBA player cause of his Stat padding.

Lol still using the 'stat padding' argument. Westbrook is nothing like Lebbywinks.

What does Russ do better than Harden besides be passionate

 

[freeze]

Has this dude ever given the indication he cares what people think of him. Now when someone says big baller brand most people know what you're talking about. That translates into money homie

it doesnt not actually translate to money unless you're willing to buy it. Talking about something is free. Following on social media is free. It costs nothing to say big baller brand and talk about Lavar or Lonzo, Melo, etc. That doesnt mean they caking just because they have a buzz. Thats not really how it works. and the thing about buzz is, it's finite. the hype can only carry you so far. fame and and monetizing on fame or completely different.

Doesn't quit on his team repeatedly.

Russ doesn't pass in the 4th quarter, so technically he does quit on his team.

That's not how it works.
But seriously since Harden went to the Rockets:
Beard- 27/6/7 on 44/36/86
Brodie-26/8/9 on 44/32/83

Only thing Beard has over Brodie is 3 point shooting and drawing fouls.

russ doesnt come up small in big moments. he may run out of gas, but he brings the effort. guarantee he has more than 10 points against the spurs with no kawhi. On his own back, they aint getting blown out by 40.

 

[Lovetohate3000]

Harden court vision is much better then Russ. Stop. Harden is better... Defenders they are equal. 3pt, drawing fouls and passing harden is better. Not even debatable. Russ doesn't have the iq to come up big in crunch time. Dude iq is buns, his situation awareness is weak.

 

[MVP]

Russ' biggest flaw is he gives too much at times, never can say he doesn't try. This has been a running theme for Beard for 5 straight seasons now.

 

[king j]

KD is a better defender, as good of a rebounder, better clutch performer. He's been right there at Bron's hip for 3 seasons now. To the victor goes the spoils.

KD since 2014 season: 28/8/5
Bron since 2014 season: 26/7/7

Is he a better clutch performer based off 1 shot he hit in the finals or years past considering he was a big part in choking away a 3-1 lead the previous year?

I'm going off those clutch stats that were posted about Bron last week. Dude is trash late in games why you think he defers to Myrie.

Court vision and passing are very much debatable. When Harden wasn't in system that's known to inflate assist numbers even for marginal players this wasn't even an argument. Defense haha.

Doesn't have the IQ to come up in crunch time yet was the best player in clutch time this past season. "You want it to be one way, but it's the other way".

LeBron never blew 3-1 lead.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Thanks bro. That's about what I expected but I gave them an F.

We needed to get better on the wing. Didn't do that.
Patty Mills and Pau Gasols contracts combine for max contract space.

Rudy Gay and LMA have player options and could opt in and there goes the 2018 flexibility.

Spurs got an F from me but I expected it.



I've seen him do a lot of good and bad things. My PG not being able to shoot will always bother me.

Have you been bothered for the past 16 years?

Kevin Durant even been swept doh?

 

[Lovetohate3000]

Russ is new Gen a. I... Entertaining player but can't win with his style of play.
Just stop... Don't make me post his 4th quarter stats against the rockets in the playoffs last year. Averages a triple double but has 4 assist in all 4th quarters of the series combined.

 

[jsindaa]

Doesn't quit on his team repeatedly.

Translation: nothing

Has he been blown out by a record finals margin multiple times?
