OFFICIAL NBA 2017-2018 Off-Season Thread

[Peep Game]

I like how Lavar covered himself by saying "not in the same week"

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Am i tripping or does he say "ya ugly, but you learned from that" in the beginning?

 

[SupremeBeing5]

76ers curse is too real.

Nerlens
Ja Lil
MCW
Embiid
Simmons
Fultz

 

[tomdiginson]

What's strange is they let the other players rest even when they weren't injured, yet they forced Fultz to play. I use to think the NBA was a bit better in terms of player management than the NFL , however, they are no different it seems with this slave driving mentality

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

Laker always celebrate a win with confetti?

 

[notoriousmj23]

Come on man. You know he doesn't think he won the game. He is all about the hype and attention.


I think he got what he wanted, you are typing about his antics at 7 am EST

You know what he is about. Why do yall take him seriously?

They don’t want to see a black man shine

Lavar Ball is the Greatest thing that has happened to the NBA since LeBron.

Only gonna be more comedy if gelo and Melo make it to the NBA.

I don't think they forced him... I think Fultz chose to play.

My main man Magic Harden only getting to the line 6x a game. Looks the NBA patched his glitch

That was an awful loss by the Wizards. Wall was looking real average out there for the most part.

My dude Julius

Lonzo can't shoot for **** but did pretty much everything else at a high level. Was impressed with his defense.

 

[B Sox]

I don't think they forced him... I think Fultz chose to play.

Legit think he wants to play and is worried about the Sixers shutting him down...

I learned last night that scoring is the easiest skill to add in basketball. Why do I even bother with people

Nobody forced Fultz to play. As far as we/they know it's just a sore shoulder and he's been compensating for it by not taking any jumpers and changing his form so he could keep playing.

- we drafted Noel AFTER he hurt his knee at Kentucky and everybody knew he was going to miss most or all of his rookie year otherwise he was the clear cut #1 pick

- Okafor only missed 19 games his rookie year

- drafted Embiid while he was already injured

- Holmes landed on Simmons foot in a training camp practice, could have played probably the entire second half of last season but they held him out instead

- too early to tell with Fultz. He could come back in a few games and be right back to normal how he was in summer league

- Dario has never missed a single game due to injury

Yeah too eager to prove himself.

 

[mikedalton]

Curry finishing at the rim very well makes him a very spooky player

Kawhi and countless others have done it

Who are these countless others

If they did the regular calls, he probably would have had 12 more FTs

 

[addict4sneakers]

Who are these countless others

I’m being sarcastic brethren

I missed it. I apologize my brotha, thought you may have been drunk on the early

Went to the game last night (Philly vs Houston)
Game was good
Thing I saw:

-Harden is having trouble adjusting to not getting the foul call he is use to getting when he pumps and jumps into the defender. (Crazy tho cause they called it for Gordon towards the end.)
-Joel E is nice and can score wherever. Dude flops a lot and at times when he doesn't need to. Hope he doesn't get injuried.
-Players are too focused on getting Simmons the assists, that they aren't taking great shots. And he is forcing it at times too, which turned into costly turnovers.
-Never seen JJ dribble so much, dude is working for his buckets lol.

Philly played good, rookie experience took it's toll and Houston experience took over even with a bad start from Harden.

 

[Based Jesus]

Everything at the NBA level is difficult but I always thought getting assists might be the easiest thing to do.
Make a solid pass and the rest is up to the other person to score. Doesn't even have to be a flashy pass.
Just don't telegraph it or force it. Hardest part for the passer is finding an open man to pass to in time.
Team defense is so good nowadays. Dudes switch and close out so fast your **** will get snatched right out the air.

[B Sox]

Philly is going to sign Avery Bradley next summer, right? Seems like too perfect of a fit for it to not happen.

#Team water

But I missed OT last night but Lonzo gotta be more of a threat on offense. Yes, he can make all the passses in PNR but he needs to keep the defense honest.

His layup game needs work too

His layup game needs work too
