Everyone slobs Pringles when' Don Nelson is the one to really introduce all that ****.

Nellie was definitely the pioneer of small ball but I'm talking about how teams run their PNR and fast breaks.

Don was ahead of his time with the "just shoot 3s" mentality but Mike was the one to build the actual offensive sets that changed the game. Don was more of a gimmick. Those Don Nelson Mavs teams were mad fun though.

JR threw a soup?? LOL

 

[trynafeelmink]

Lakers last 10 games have a top 10 offense and top 10 defense

All this while incorporating new pieces and letting our 6'9 SF run Point, but you know what does Ingram do Well?

 

[Based Jesus]

Is Bron a better shooter than Lonzo?

 

[nick.]

Well that was a souper dumb decision

I just don't understand how you can have it both ways. How can you constantly talk about how historically great the rockets are, all the way down to James harden's elite post defense, but yet at the same time act like they have no chance in hell of winning a championship. It's one or the other. I personally expect Houston to run thru the postseason in dominant fashion. They're truly unstoppable

Your straw man is overplayed. D'Antoni and Harden both have massive weaknesses in addition to their strengths. Also the Warriors are very possibly the greatest team of all time. It's ok for people to praise the Rockets.

I personally think Harden and CP3 are probably gonna choke in some form or fashion.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Is Bron a better shooter than Lonzo?

Are we talking shooter or true talent shooter?

 

[sohi 23]

But what about his first 20 games?

MJ shot 28.6% from 3 in his first 20 games & you know it's impossible to improve so I guess he's one of the worst shooters ever.

 

[sohi 23]

Is Bron a better shooter than Lonzo?

Lebron shot 31.5% in his first 20 games and since that's what we use to determine your potential as a shooter, yup.

I've been very tame on CP3 & Harden for some of their playoff lapses but if they do that this year I'm letting the clip go,

Hahahahaha

THERE CAN BE TWO HISTORICAL TEAMS IN THE SAME YEAR.

I thought you were trolling but you're serious

 

[nick.]

The Rockets are very, very good but the Warriors are better.

How is that concept tough to grasp?

 

[hardens beard]

hardens beard has been feelin' himself lately

Lately

 

[a-friend]

There's no way he re-signs, man.

He's going to Philly, Houston or the Lakers.

Nothing points to him staying.

I think a lot points to him staying.
Him leaving is sexier News though so we all se it that way instead.
Plenty reasons he'd resign.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Are you concussed right now? Two historical teams but one has no chance of winning? How's that work? That would mean one of them isn't all they're hyped up to be, which I don't believe

Arent they strapped though? Besides trading Love what else can they do? He always liked flexibility.

 

[HIM]

I wanna know who is still saying LeBron makes everyone better?
Y’all killing me with these false narratives.

I just assume it's Nick Wright

 

[trynafeelmink]

The Rockets are very, very good but the Warriors are better.

How is that concept tough to grasp?

It becomes tough to Grasp when people say things like they stand no chance when literally every metric points otherwise. Cats are only saying this now so in the event the Rockets do win, they could take this David beat Goliath stance & it's see through. We see it yearly with Lebron fans.

Another wiggins type deal is what they could do.

Ask the Spurs.

They had SRS above 10 which correlates to a 75% chance to win the title and not a soul would've picked them to beat the Dubs that year.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

The Rockets are very, very good but the Warriors are better.

How is that concept tough to grasp?

Except they're not just very very good according to some. They're one of the goat teams. GREATEST offense ever. It's like saying the 96 bulls would have no chance against the warriors. That doesn't make ANY sense
