Official 2018 NBA Preseason Thread - Jimmy Butler Does Things

[wavycrocket]

Wavy stay overrating dudes from his 8 teams but this one is way out there.

I mean....if you think it’s crazy to suggest Rudy Gobert is a top 15-20 basketball player...you don’t know ball.

P&R gravity man...highly efficient...can hit FTs to stay on the court and a the best defensive anchor that covers for his teams mistakes.

He just can’t be on the floor against the Rockets or Warriors. That’s it .

 

[DADDYFATSACKS]

You wish you could **** Bron

fixed

[Based Jesus]

Some people you just have to know not to go after. Gil got no chill. ***** got a "Do Not Disturb" sign hanging from his neck at al times.

 

[hardens beard]

Yall watching this WNBA game

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Which one of these Grizz and Clips picks will actually convey, though

They still gonna get a top 5 pick from the Kings

 

[youngwolf]

I'm so dead at Klay man. Everything about this kills me. And Klay 7'1 now.

Klay.

Melo couldn't win a Big 3 title today, let alone in the future.

 

[buc em]

Can’t wait til Wilson Chandler disappoints buc em and he rage posts about it

Can’t wait til my man Wilson proves you wrong, the Nuggets miss the playoffs again and Mudiay is coming off the bench in the Cambodian Basketball Association

 

[8pm at msg]

I'm surprised none of Gil's teammates ever tried to put hands on him.

Though Javaris was gonna shoot him so on second thought Gilbert's lucky to be alive

 

[pmatic]

Wilson Chandler is just Jeff Green except he wasn't a top five pick or land in high stakes situations.

 

[Quincy McCall]

Dang forgot about Mudiay, still not signed

 

[bostoiah]

Dang forgot about Mudiay, still not signed

Isn’t he still under contract with the Knicks?

 

[nick.]

Dang forgot about Mudiay, still not signed

He has a year left with us

I just realized I predicted all 5 NW division teams to make the playoffs f it

I have POR as the 8th and SAS 9th, NOP 10th. Prob should swap SAS with POR but we'll see how the summer progresses

Health going to determine everything in the west from 6-8 seeds, I have 5 locks

Who are the 5 locks?

Nah. I just watch the NBA and anybody that does can see there's at least 20+ players better than him.


Now you stretching it to top 15-20.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Who are the 5 locks?

GSW, HOU, UTH, OKC, LAL (I seeded DEN ahead of LAL but I just can't pull the trigger on keeping Lebby out)

Health so crucial, very tight race. Also looking deeper into schedules, the easy/difficult stretches will matter relative to when players are out with injury. Margins so small for how competitive it is

Portland was blessed last season with health while others obviously got hit hard. They're on the bubble for me but I do believe in their defense

 

[storm2006]

Correct and that will have a lot of value in this years draft. It’ll be so interesting because it’ll be ahead of decisions for Myrie and Terry so they’ll have to draft (or trade) wisely.

I could see OKC missing the playoffs honestly.
And imo... we were better than OKC when we were healthy.

 

[Quincy McCall]

Oh, I thought his extension was declined

 

[Maximus Meridius]

I know Denver gon find a way to miss the playoffs again.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

My biggest question mark for OKC is Roberson. If he's a shell of himself defensively, it changes everything. I am realistically expecting him to not be what he was but still right below elite

 

[BIG FISH]

I think we gotta differentiate between ability and impact when making these lists lol
Like Draymond and Rudy impact the game heavily but they aren’t better than a lot of players skill wise.

 

[BIG FISH]

Dudes in here saying they have like 3-4 all star level players but watch the excuses when they don’t make the playoffs again

It will be next summer
