OFFICIAL NBA 2017-2018 Off-Season Thread

I’m still on Page 4120 of 4137 but saw the SportsCenter highlights of OKC-MIA. Rustle was 34 boards away from averaging a triple double and conveniently grabbed 18 last night. I can’t WAIT to see the tales starting in the evening.

I am willing to bet large amount that antidope is spitting gospel

I haven't said a word. Just waiting to see what happens next. Cause he may just sit out and claim it doesn't matter while it kills him inside..

 

[antidope]

I’m guessing we obviously won’t be putting in entries til the exact matchups are set in stone though, right?

Yeah you can't. Nothing opens until the brackets are finalized..

Russ playing all 48 if he has to..maybe even start at center

 

[buc em]

Westbrook gonna be wearing some Patrick Ewing knee pads and be boxing out like prime Reggie Evans tomorrow night

 

[Bert.]

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Haven't seen such blatant and egregious misrepresentation of the sport since Tim Duncan was labeling himself a power forward

 

[bballkid11]

Is Portland/Utah for the 3 seed tomorrow also?

Nevermind I see Utah plays GSW tonight.

 

[JD617]

He was making fun of the timing of Pat Riley’s comments now that LeBron is gonna be a free agent again.

Frank niketalk finally used all that VC he earned throughout the season

****'s gonna be the rebounding equivalent of David Robinson's 71 point game on the final day of the 93-94 season. Steven Adams will probably grab even fewer than the 3 boards he grabbed against Miami. The other 4 Thunder players on the court will be boxing out and letting the ball hit the floor before they grab the rebound themselves, playoff seeding be damned.

It would be hilarious if the Grizzlies just constantly ran out the clock and turned the ball over intentionally instead of shooting the ball though. Then Russ would have to get a little more creative...

What’d Lord Russell do to you guys to receive such hate?

As a bum TWolves fan I can appreciate winning 46 or 47 games, but this season has been a trainwreck to watch. Thibs is beyond disappointing, the players tuned him out in week 1 and his style is 5-10 years behind. He's the only one who doesn't know it. You give anyone on niketalk Towns, Wiggins, and 2/3 a season of J Butler and they could coach it to an 8 or 9 seed.

He ain't getting fired because he's in control of the entire operation there, has a massive contract, and the team owner is clueless when it comes to what to do outside of office work.

 

[antidope]

Is it hate to point out that he's blatantly stat padding?

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

Denver is going to win. I can't see Minnesota winning a shootout

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Denver is going to win. I can't see Minnesota winning a shootout

Mike Malone though, on the road in an elimination game

Idk

 

[addict4sneakers]

I’m going to need Wiggins to get up 20 shots tomorrow. Show them why you’re a max player

 

[bballkid11]

Only hesitation I have. But Malone wins big games, just loses games that he is supposed to win. If Miinney turns it into a grind game they win

 

[d3si]

Would the game be on national TV?

Wolves vs Nuggets

 

[Lovetohate3000]

What’d Lord Russell do to you guys to receive such hate?

making a mockery of triple doubles. This is officially the era of stat padding , and he is the leader.
No way in hell should a pg naturally grab 10 rebs every game. That ish isnt impressive at all and everyone that rooted for his shananigans last year and made him mvp last year are idiots.

 

[Peep Game]

This was too funny

Is it hate to point out that he's blatantly stat padding?

Not one bit, especially when you’re pointing out exactly what happened

 

[freddy fig]

Pels vs jazz gon be lit....4 vs 5...battle of our OG name ya herd me

 

[amitt5504]

Since the Heat choked away that game last night, there's no way they can play they Cavs in the 1st round lol

 

[freddy fig]

Im still waisted from cellybratin

I could see Philly losing to Bucks tomorrow to set up Pacers vs Philly and Cavs vs Bucks/Wiz
