Official 2018 NBA Preseason Thread - Jimmy Butler Does Things

[VARNELL HILL]

i'd say brad stevens, he got to the conference finals with marcus smart and marcus morris playing big enough roles

let's see shhh really hit the fan first and how kerr has to deal with it

Being down 3-1 against OKC wasn't **** hitting the fan?

 

[wavycrocket]

Yes.. Riley retired #23 for MJ Goat

Imagine if a team did that today.

All the old heads would be foaming at the mouth with “The NBA is soft” takes

and draymond was out there kicking dudes in the nuts.. and then proceeded to get suspended in the finals

plus KD turning into a walking tech

 

[Sharpshoeter13]

Robert Williams FINALLY practicing

Looking forward to the first SL game!

If there is any coach besides Pop who could guide a problem player, it’s Kerr.

Kerr is well versed on getting punched in the face, so you might be right

Yep. 23 is forbidden in Miami

Damn, thats gangsta. I approve

 

[jc619er]

I've been saying it for 5+ years. Cousins is not that guy. He's a problem.

Finally, people are seeing the light. He's puts up great stats. But thats it. Minnesota Kevin Love and him should talk.

But i do like the signing by GSW. low risk, high reward in my opinion. You can't pass up the chance to sign him when its $5.3M.

Thank you. Absolutely all of this.

70 percent of people loved the Bulls.... 30 percent hated the Bulls... I was in that 70 percent

My favorite player was MJ. My best friend's favorite player was Ewing (his mother taught Ewing in high school). We came to blows on multiple occasions over who was better. This was when we were in like 3rd/4th grade.

You're saying this from your vantage point. As a child I'm assuming. A kid in 2010 might think that "70% of people" liked the Heat, from his/her POV.

If you've ever been in a barbershop that wasn't in Chicago in the 90s...you'd have heard PLENTY of disdain for Jordan and the Bulls.

Exactly i will say dudes RESPECTED the bulls moreso than a lot of the teams in comparison but they still hated them equally. Also the Kobe/Shaq Lakers Were HATED heavily. Had Shaq as the Goliath & Kobe as the super Arrogant showoff Bringing the Lakers back to Dominance... They are the Catalyst to ALA

Wizards really are the Blazers of the East

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Always wanted Jeff to come home. This is about 7 years later than I hoped but whatever. Solid vet, hometown guy. Not mad at this.

Accurate

Both back courts talk so much and never back it up.

This market is depressive! Those Lakers signing are going to look terrible in a month.

I wonder what's going through the heads of guys like Vince Carter, Swaggy P, Luc Mbah a Moute, Amir Johnson,, Dwight Howard etc right now.

The Dubs are going to get themselves another solid guy for the minimum at this rate.

J Cross most likely

 

[BIG FISH]

I don't know, it seems like when they took down LeBron people started getting extra emotional. That's when things started turning.

Lmao nobody was hating on GSW after 2015.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

J Cross most likely

Would rather them keep Swaggy P honestly...

 

[BIG FISH]

It’s still funny to me seeing dudes in here crying about people discrediting Steph and the Warriors when that’s literally what they do all day to other players

 

[migu420]

Except all the, "they only won because kyrie and love were hurt", crowd. Or the "jump shooting teams ain't gonna last" crowd.

It’s a real thing in the general consensus. You can’t bind behind “I find it funnys” and calling dudes “weirdos” to escape consensus thoughts by nba media and fans.
