OFFICIAL NBA 2017-2018 Off-Season Thread

What he’s saying isn’t false though. And you know that.

And yet the Rockets had an offensive rating of 119, 116 and 123 when they faced the Warriors this year.

In contrast when the Cavs played the Warriors in the regular season last year they had a offensive rating of 109 and 87. So yeah it was no surprise the Warriors were able to slow them down, they proved it in the regular season.

You really have the most selective reading I’ve ever seen.











*a bunch of people talking about LeBron having a bad game*

“Why is no one talking about LeBron having a bad game?!?!”

Also, that was his first subpar game in over a month. You were dying to get that pent up frustration out.

@jsindaa this is an example of what I’m talking about

Ty be trippin when it comes to Lebron

 

[getback]

Ugh my guy it is done


Unless she's he comes back to the cs for cheap next year

Feel bad for IT. Dude played his heart out for the Celtics. Now he's only gonna get a short deal for the cheap behind it.

 

[MVP]

Meaning what? I doubt he's getting surgery on his quad. If anything PrP injections or cortisone. He only has inflammation. Nothing structural.

I think he meant letting the team pressure you to come back when you're not ready physically. Cost IT2 hundreds of millions of dollars with a misdiagnosis.

I personally would have:
1. Mike
2. Steph
3. AI
4. Kobe
5. Magic

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I said it when I was defending Lonzo from those criticizing his defensive potential, that point guard defense is the least important position so though it's been a revelation I won't beat that drum

 

[Nike Jordan]

Danny Ainge won.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Lauri over Smith for me

I wouldn't at all be mad if Lauri got in

I think smith edges him with his playmaking for others and he's averaging more points

They have similar records also

Steph stans bout to be mad as ****

And where the hell is Shaq?

 

[HIM]

Kind of like Brons stands see how Brons loses but are blown away by the effort he put?

Did the bobcats show effort this season?

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Makes me sick reading these stories about college athletes getting money

It shouldn't be a story to begin with and is borderline racial. Who tf cares a family went from poor to rich? That's a problem? Disgusting use of resources that they call "news"

NCAA is the cause of this, shameful

 

[addict4sneakers]

More mad than Kobe fans that Steph is ahead of him?

 

[BIG FISH]

I should have Steph lower since I’m a hater

Seems like the warriors have no answer for the rockets offense if I'm reading this correctly

Fultz completely ignoring questions looking blankly into the distance

LeBron deserves to be 2nd. He's empowered the players to take control of their careers.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Fultz completely ignoring questions looking blankly into the distance lol:

Breh that was so bizarre but as long as he hitting that jumper he can keep up the enigma act

 

[BIG FISH]

LeBron deserves to be 2nd. He's empowered the players to take control of their careers.

Most fans see that as a bad thing though.
Steph has changed how basketball (not just the NBA but every level of basketball) is played.

 

[antidope]

I would put Steph Curry third tbh.

 

[P C H]

LeBron deserves to be 2nd. He's empowered the players to take control of their careers.

For sure. "The Decision" changed the entire way Superstars in their prime approach their careers.

We legit think a team with Gordon Hayward/Kyrie Irving/Anthony Davis isn't even all that wild because of what LBJ did, for instance.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

More mad than Kobe fans that Steph is ahead of him?

Yes.


Shaq HAS to be on there. AI and Kobe should be higher than Larry Bird. I don't remember any dudes wanting to play like Larry Bird. AI had kids copying his every move, his hair, his tats.

Mike
Wilt
Lebron
Magic
Shaq
AI
Kareem
Dr J
Steph
Kobe

I would put KG and Dirk in there too.

@ McHale calling TT a dinosaur in the league for not having a mid range jumper during last night's broadcast
