Official 2018 NBA Preseason Thread - Jimmy Butler Does Things

[frshstunna]

Yea I aint know Jokic was at the "win a ring or nothin" stage of his career already

 

[jsindaa]

Has that been debunked tho? There's certain things we know for sure. Your center can't be your best passer/worst defender. You can't have poor spacing. You gotta have a top 10 defense. Chris Paul can't be your best player. All these things are true when it comes to winning a championship. Hard to imagine Denver being a top 10 defense with that personnel

8/8

Lakers as an 8th seed comedy

4th, 5th or 6th seed at worst is my guess
LeBron has to play 30-35 minutes max each game

 

[ballinsam23]

Still got some spots open in my ESPN fantasy league if anyone's interested

Zo < Melo

 

[frshstunna]

Ball family involved in another international incident

 

[atransta]

Melo was about to get smoked by that international player.

 

[wavycrocket]

Zo < Melo

Color me mildly impressed the way Melo squared up

 

[Based Jesus]

Zo < Melo

Who knew that the "top division of Lithuanian basketball" could be so testy?

 

[geno90221]

Melo got no hands lol was about to get
washed

 

[ballinsam23]

LaMelo is a bum who thinks he's untouchable. If that player's skin tone was a different color he'd never do that.

He pulling a KG?

What was even remotely impressive about that

So you expected him to walk away after a dude gave him a swirly ? He reacted like most of us would (sans Canadians).

 

[Based Jesus]

The guy actually slapped Melo first. A playful one on the back of the head but still, they don't know each other like that.
Melo was right to slap him back. It's like when Pau petted CP on the head like he was a dog and CP petted him back.

 

[don ramon]

you think he;s nba material?

 

[stopcappin]

His post up afterwards was trash but he smacked sparks out of dude lol

 

[Based Jesus]

you think he;s nba material?

I think he's JBA material.

Me thinks getting slapped in the face like that is like getting spit on. Levels of disrespect through the roof. Melo lucky it wasnt someone else.

 

[MajinZuub]

We're really discussing if a high schooler has hands or not?

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Lithuanian dude had nooo squabbles. Melo showing off his iq and picking his battles wisely

Isn't LeBron gonna be playing center?

Also, I thought positions didn't matter?

 

[freakydestroyer]

LaMelo seems to be the type to fight dirty if he is outmatched like kicking someone in the balls, poking them in the eyes, etc.
