Official 2018 NBA Preseason Thread - Jimmy Butler Does Things

That Warriors team did not win 25 games. They won 19

 

[VARNELL HILL]

This is whom some of y’all were adamant was enough and ready to be given the starting C position by the Dubs

Taylor Rooks said every player that made an all NBA team in the last 4 years plays in the West. No way that's true right?

Giannis
Derozan
Kyrie
Embiid
Oladipo

All in the east

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Players today aren’t moving the right way. Winning a ring doesn’t mean as much as it used to.

I feel with the 24/7 news cycle of today, players are under even MORE pressure to win rings than they were in previous generations.

Why do you believe,"Winning a ring doesn’t mean as much as it used to." ??

Only for first team

No she is wrong

 

[HOU$TON]

Boogie switching on Harden on the perimeter

 

[drewsone]

I been trying to explain this to the bron stan homies. they busy telling me this lakers team is infinitely better than the cavs team bron just had. they also the same ones that gassed clarkson and nance and hood. Tol me kyrie aint that good and clarkson can easily be that substitute.

i would give them an edge over cavs tho imo

 

[BIG FISH]

Look at this PNR defense from Boogie and that’s with 2 fully fuctional achilles

That efficiency
113-14

 

[Lovetohate3000]

lol bro giannis was on the all-nba team this year alone, in addition to many other eastern guys

she probably meant first team. The last person to make an all nba first team from the east not named LeBron was joakim Noah in 2014.

 

[Kinfolk]

Cousins isn't gonna do much for the Warriors, y'all can calm down now.

None of those 3 got significant minutes against the Rockets cause they couldn’t switch

two things
1) i think Boogie is a much more capable defender than all three
2) he's an INFINITELY better offensive player than all three which would offset him getting beat on switches.. When he's on the floor Houston is gonna get DESTROYED trying to Switch, they will not be able to keep him from the boards, he's an excellent passer & he's finding one of the better shooters in the league everytime.

Why are you projecting this black/white picture of hard work? It isn't a binary code. It isn't either or.

You keep mentioning hard work, as if everyone isn't working hard towards a goal. Are you judging hard work on simply CHOSING to remain in a situation that doesn't work? Ask Clyde Drexler how that worked out for him. He had to go to HOU.

Or better yet, ask Karl Malone, GP, Jason Kidd , KG, Ray Allen or countless other legends that had to move away to win a ring. Did they NOT work hard because they left?

It ain't as simple as you are making it out to be man. I wish you could see that, but you are refusing.

I tap out

Hardwork is subjective but we as Americans respect the entity that worked harder to get the same thing the next person didn’t have to struggle for. Having it easy is frowned upon.

Just because I disagree with the realities of today’s NBA doesn’t mean I’m not accepting of it.

Lmfaoo did that team even win 25 games?! Woah a Bob Sura sighting!

No, we won 17 games . 17...


58 wins (this year's total wins) use to take us 3 years to achieve.

Jesus...Boogie reached out to GS on his own.

He had the sound judgement to decide going there was his best move. He’s certainly matured recently. This is strictly a 1-year rental, but this could be the greatest starting 5 of all time. Someone on the starters is going to have a career year. Like explosive year. You can’t gaurd everyone who’s a playmaker and can basically all dribble, pass and shoot. Insane.

Not a rental, just a one year deal.

The media is more invasive and the fans have more of an outlet to criticize. The rings of today are more about being immune to scrutiny than they are a personal quest to reward a life passion.

Winning a ring doesn’t mean as much as it used to because now there is a legit formula to win one.

Boogie with one leg is unplayable against Houston

And Boston.

And what happens when he goes to the Boards and doesn’t get it or when he thinks he’s fouled and complains to the Refs?

I’ll give you a hint, it’ll be whole lotta walking back on defense

 

[lamekilla]

Warriors lowkey have the best front court and back court in basketball.

 

[second2nonee]

That efficiency
113-14

that **** better than the mozgov 92 point game.

You're saying the warriors are the best team in basketball?
