lol it's long and short in all the bad ways. Worst part is if your pick is only top 3 protected.

This first take segment on Stephen A and Kevi Durant is cringeworthy

Yea

 

[Peep Game]

As Rocket fan Lin is without a doubt an above average backup he just makes the worst turnovers and mistakes for an NBA player in Asian if it matters.

If you make the worst turnovers and mistakes in the NBA you aren't an "above average" anything.

People shouldn't even bother arguing about Lin on this site...like half of this board is Asian and will cape for him immediately. I remember I said something bad about him a couple years ago and some Asian dude PM'ed me wanting to meet up to fight

Pretty much. There's a reason he's been on 5 pro teams and a handful of D-league teams. At 27, he is what he is. People have made way too many excuses for him. He's an average (possibly even below average) player that can come off the bench and ignite a handful of possessions, and nothing more. But if you want to start him and give him lengthy time on the floor, get ready for multiple turnovers, 3's clanking, and general bad defense. Rockets, Lakers, and Knicks fans all saw that extensively.

Mn they hammered KD

I just looked through Boston's roster, this is one deep, talented squad.

Projected starters:

PG: Marcus Smart
SG: Avery Bradley
SF: Evan Turner (most likely the playmaker of the lineup)
PF: David Lee
C: Amir Johson (Lee and Johson's skill-set would compliment each other and cover each other's weaknesses)

Defensively, this will be a tough team to beat

Bench:
PG: Isiah Thomas
SG: ??
SF: Crowder (Strong defender)
PF: Sullinger
C: Olynyk / Zeller

Half of that bench can start in other teams. They got defence, stretch bigs, pick and roll players, straight offence off the bench a great coach, good management and playoff experience.

Coach can really experiment with lineups here and pick and choose opposition miss-matches. This is a team I will follow throughout the year.

 

[keel252]

i know its Kobe, i know this. but that was a terrible shot, and the first one he shot hit the side of the backboard...thats why i said its no way he plays the 3 all year.


first game tho...

 

[jthagreat]

Stephen A sounding like FMFlex talkin about KD on First Take llol

I think I like the Celtics more than the Bucks this season.

Kevin Durant gotta drop a diss track. Stephen A went in.

Kobe has to, I don't think they are going to stall the development of Russell and Clarkson so Kobe can guard guys that will blow by him that are 6'6 and not 6'9.

What did SAS say?

 

[licensed to ball]

As a long time Kobe Stan/fan.... It saddens me to admit...




It's time for him to hang em up :\

Bucks were kinda trash after the mcw trade. Elite defense but it didn't result in wins

Same here. They seem to be the more complete team with complementary skillset. But why compare?

 

[ill steelo]

Kobe should continue to play if he will continue to get paid over $20 million annually.

 

[awwsome]

Why would he give a **** about what that clown with a panaramic forehead says?


He's a shock jock.

Yup.. If teams are cutting those kinds of checks, might as well

 

[awwsome]

If you have game you have game and people will see that. If you're not black it's a bonus to your popularity especially in the NBA. Sea is completely on point, Jeremy has a last name other than Lin, doubt he'd lasted as long as he has.

This is ridiculous and wrong.

There are a bunch of players worse than Lin right now in the league and ones that have had 10 year+ careers.

if you think execs and GM's keep trying to acquire him because he's asian, come on man.


Why isn't Yi Jianlian in the league then?

 

[awwsome]

I did read. I said offensively.

If you didn't understand that "two ball dominant guards" isn't terrible offensively than you probably don't know much about basketball.

 

[Peep Game]

What did SAS say?

Basically said KD lied about what he said about not talking to him, and seemed to really provide facts about that. It felt like he cut a promo, kinda vicious. The funniest part was "let me look into the camera, you don't wanna make an enemy outta me"

 

[bhzmafia14]

Pls

someone provide a video of SAS going off on KD

Doesn't Screamin A know that KD is "not nice"?
