**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

^^^ Maybe Jimmy is right in what he said, but it’s still not a good look for him to be calling out his current coach when he’s had personality clash issues at his last two stops.

That said, NBA players - especially all star level players - should be able to express dissatisfaction with how they’re being used behind closed doors. Just sucks that it seems like nothing stays behind closed doors anymore.

Speaking of Utah, I see Donovan Mitchell went 8-24 with 26 points last night. 1 assist

 

[abematic]

Good read on how Utah defended Giannis last night.

I wonder if more teams will take this approach.

What set Gobert aside from others is that he is actually a good defender and is mobile.
No other are that mobile as Gobert or lengthy as him.

 

[papichino]

It wasnt a serious response but even if hes serious Tatum on a second year of a rookie contract plus hes basically tied up for another max contract after his rookie contract is over. Unless he regressed so much that Danny lets him walk but that means he cant be traded for AD.

I really want to meet the people who have so much free time that they're wasting it drumming up stories about the Spurs wanting Porzingis. Literally zero chance that happens

Gianny still had 30 Utah lost the game by double figures, so Jazz didn’t exactly solve the Greek Freak problem...

I don’t consider Gobert to be that mobile.

Seems like it would be better to just have giannis in the post and play some good ol 90s inside out instead of trying to attack from the perimeter

'NBA team is interested in a very good player'

But it's the Knicks so it'll draw views and clicks

Whoops wrong thread

 

[pums]

That would probably backfire of utah misses when They push the ball. Cross matches would be crazy

His efficiency was drastically lower than his season average plus they limited the Bucks 3 point shooting.

I shouldn't be surprised. Every year I have to explain how RFA works to someone. For every person like me who knows this is dumb there are 20 people who buy into it

 

[bballkid11]

Who was the last RFA that did not get matched?

 

[lawdog1]

His efficiency was drastically lower than his season average plus they limited the Bucks 3 point shooting.

Then the Jazz had some success with strategy, but whether other teams could do the same thing effectively really depends on personnel. I know I wouldn’t want any of the Clippers centers trying to guard Giannis. Capela might be able to pull it off though.

Kobe special

Patrick Mccaw

Good thing for giannis is he'll never have to worry about facing gobert or capela in the finals

But what about Turner, Whiteside or Horford in the Eastern conference playoffs?

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Whiteside probably the biggest threat. But over 7 games I wouldn't really be concerned about any of those matchups

I don’t think Capela is strong enough to guard him.

 

[bballkid11]

Turner possibly

 

[addict4sneakers]

Horford guarded Giannis a lot last year in the playoffs. He’s the only one that stood a chance

 

[dman14]

donovan mitchell better not plateau like tyreke evans
hope this is just a sophmore slump, but i do see a bunch of bad habits carrying over

 

[sohi 23]

This is how BI should be getting his buckets.
