**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[noblekane]

I'm confused at people Continuing to Harp on this point, Last Two years Ya'll claimed Nobody Cared About LA/Lakers & off the court oppurtunities... "you don't need a big market anymore" "Nobody cares about the Laker Brand... It's all about ball"

Lebron signs partly due to those reasons & Somehow that's supposed to be an L

they desperate like some crack addicts

next year its gonna be a different excuse

ALA cheeks are showing

You realize the NBA tracks speeds now? And Luka moves significantly faster than Harden on the court

I don't believe this lol

 

[buc em]

 

[carver]

Seems like the sixers also have the most games played

 

[CDFTDOT]

2nd most wins but they're not even top two in their own conference.

You know the rockets have like the slowest pace in the league? And half the time harden has the ball he treats it like it's the last possession of the quarter and is just walking around or standing there dribbling the clock out before he gets into his move. Not to mention his defense. But if you really think Luka is an elite athlete there's not much I can tell you. I would like to see that link tho

Harden was bottom 5 in average speed last year and the team wasn't close to the slowest place in basketball. Nobody said Luka was an elite athlete.

Second half of the year I'm pretty sure they were bottom 5 in pace. Harden does a lot of lollygagging but that doesn't mean he's not quick. Doesn't John wall stand around 75% of the time or something like that? He probably has a low average speed too. Where that link at tho?

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Yeah I think Luka & JJJ will both be top 5 guys.

They just trynna front on you cuz it’s the Lakers who he didn’t play well against lol.

So who will be the other 3?

I swear yall say this about so many people and end up losing count

For certain things the good ole eye test is good enough 4real

Don’t need numbers to tell me that Steven Adams is stronger than Otto Porter

Yea, that is all I can find online

guess that’s all it is with his game then

 

[DCAllAfrican]

But back to Luka, why does everything have to be so extreme?

Is it possible to acknowledge that someone will be good without placing SUPER lofty expections on their head?

Generational talent.

You know how FEW dudes in the history of the NBA can make THAT claim?

Yall be trippin man

 

[sohi 23]

I swear yall say this about so many people and end up losing count

Lol I’m exaggerating. I do think Luka and JJJ will be perrenial all-stars though.

U not doing it right if u don’t think somebody a hall of famer or total bust a quarter into the season

Or a 6th man candidate being an All Star after 18 games.

Looking at yall calling Harrell an all star
