The 2014-2015 NBA Season Thread. Lock It Up Please: The Golden State Warriors Are The Champions

[lawdog1]

Didn't even realize how hyped I was for the season until this game started. I am excite!

 

[lynchpin33]

Are we waiting for Bill Simmons to come back from suspension before they do the NBA previews again? For that point I know they started filming them, but did they even finish before the suspension? Really enjoyed those last year...

Elaborate on the suspension

 

[nelson999]

Stauskas is going to be legit 

 

[wavycrocket]

Blake Have it all. No hitch in the jumper anymore.

Best PF in the game

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

The blake:randle similarity is clear as day to me. With julius probably being the more advanced shooter at the same phase and without the sissy factor of blake

Called Roger Goodell a liar

 

[illoquent aka dsk]

 

@kobebryant: Players are "encouraged" per new CBA to take less to win or risk being called selfish+ungrateful while nbatv deal goes UP by a BILLION #biz

Kobe being real again.

But everyone gave him **** when he took the deal though.

I will never ever ever crap on a player for taking the money. Especially someone of his stature in a league with a ****** CBA for the players.

Stop

 

[addict4sneakers]

Except for Julius doesn't really play above the rim and isn't rhe athlete blake is

i saw some ugly Randle post shots yesterday, other than that im not sure where you are drawing these comparisons. Randle might turn out to be very good but i don't see him ever being on Blake's level. And he is completely at the opposite end of the athleticism scale.

If you want to compare him to someone, use Z-Bo

You can't be serious. The athleticism isn't remotely comparable.

They are barely similar

Skill sets are completely different and athleticism completely different

 

[addict4sneakers]

That laker vision

 

[wavycrocket]

Randle not even in the stratosphere as Blake.

At his peak he'll be a 16 & 8 guy at the most.

Blake has top 5 PF of All time potential.

Much love to AD...but Blake got this PF thing for now...and few years.

 

[br0keballer]

Wtf is up with CDR's new hair. Didn't even recognize him

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

You guys don't see it but you will as the season goes on. But this...

And this

Is laughable . I'm not even gonna post randle's dunk highlights. He's a black, left handed, non flopping griffin

Also the z Bo comparisons must end

Post the videos.. while he was at Kentucky. None of that high school mixtape garbage

 

[wavycrocket]

Randle can't dribble, go right, elevate, defend, shoot, or pass.

Yet he's some clone of BG?

Randle is an above average athlete, w/ short arms who is very aggressive on the offensive end and on the boards.

Only way he will truly be effective is if he learns how to use his off hand, dribble when appropriate, not force shots and learn how to make a 15footer

 

[Peep Game]

Rockets and Mavs want this to be the playoffs so bad

 

[addict4sneakers]

If Julius was the left handed dark skinned blake Griffin, he wouldn't have fell to 7th in the draft

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

He didn't even elaborate as to why Randle is similar to Blake

Blake was jumping over and through the rim in college, Randle played below the rim (nothing wrong with that btw)
