Official 2018 NBA Preseason Thread - Jimmy Butler Does Things

[BIG LEEMELONE]

would be a joy to see the lakers miss the playoffs this year. the average laker fan is an idiot. hate a guy his whole career then soon as he hops on the team start riding him and giving him unlimited passes .

#clipset , till big russ is off the team.. pf and centers bout the thought of big russ and kuz at the 4 and 5

Is that so different from rooting for a team for years then as soon as they sign one guy you don't like you start being a clipper fan

sixers fans still hyping up pf rondo and homeless hakeem. yall will pretenders for years to come , i guess that aint that bad for a team that was filled with d-leaguers and was tanking for years on end.

The man almost averaged a triple double without a jump shot as a Rookie and Embiid has literally played less than 200 games of organized basketball his ENTIRE LIFE. This hate is dumb as hell.

Oh and please, don't forget about our third star in the making.

Sixers fans just ouchea buck naked stroking themselves openly. Y'all better hope that O don't get ruined.

 

[Moheezy]

Laker hate in mid season form I see.

Wait...you guys were BBQ chicken in the post and is a huge concern and you post Kermit? Lol k

Sixers overachieved big time last year. Got em in pretender category too. Really no one comes close to the Celtics and Raptors.

That’s actually worse. Imagine changing teams because of a signing lol
That’s super corny.

What O?

And can you blame us? It's been years of blatant tanking and a 10 win season and was force fed the colangelos. It's good to be hopeful again.

Lol @ team success

He was a top 20 player and led us to 52 wins as a rookie

Lil bit early to be acting like Ben isn’t beneficial to “team success” if he doesn’t win a championship immediately

There's a vast difference between not winning a championship immediately and requiring Timothy John McConnell to pick up your slack and provide a spark offensively

Not sold on Simmons. Gotta be able to shoot in this league, especially if you're "the guy."

Pacers are closest but yeah you right

It's a difference between being hopeful & saying you're better than the team that beat you in 5 games, though.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Joel Embiid is top 10. Philly will always be competitive because of him...so long as his two legs and feet work.

Without kyrie too. Damn

Raptors taking the east this year anyway

 

[Based Jesus]

**** Philadelphia. The whole city. Pull up.

Who said that? I wasn’t following. We are not better than Boston in 2018. I think we have a brighter future but we are not better than them right now.

I wasn't taking any shots at you. My bad.

I've seen it on here, twitter, reddit, etc. that Sixers fans think they're better than Boston. Boston is basically adding two all-stars to a team that went to the ECF last season.

D'lo and his hairstyles smfh

It’s definitely a rivalry. I respect what Boston is doing, I think they have the best coach in the game, but at the same time, F them.

On that two all stars note, I hope Hayward can regain his explosiveness, he does not look 100% yet. I remember having a bad ankle injury and was out for three months, but it took another 18 months to full regain my explosiveness.

Uhhh Giannis?

 

[bostoiah]

Uhhh Giannis?

Giannis actually shoots tho and teams guard him out there. Ben Simmons is literally left on an island outside of 10 ft and he doesn’t even look at the rim

Put some respect on GOAT McConnell’s name.
