The Official NBA Season Thread: Las Vegas Summer League

[MajinZuub]

nahhh we not turning on poole like LAL fans have turned on russ

Turn? Literally one dude here wanted him in LA
The rest of us knew what we were getting and basically forced support for him after the trade because we had no choice. Look at the Lakers thread the day the trade happened

At least the expectations in Philly are below the ground

You're gonna have to dig deeper son

 

[waukeganwill]

He’s surrounded by mediocre players. Name me the last team that won a chip that didn’t have two all stars.

2016 Cavs

I agree tho. Nuggets aint it to me and Joka isnt gonna get it done with that cast. I personally just dont believe in them. Grizzlies either. Kinda reminds me of when the Jazz/Suns/Rockets would be at the top of the standings but you just KNEW they werent gonna get it done..I personally think the East takes it this year....

but Still hope my Dubs get they **** together

You mean we're not giving Embiid a pass? Crazy how that works

His passes ran out last year

Lee on tilt this morning...keep it up!

He gets a pass every year.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

If Denver's defense isn't good enough to win a championship, why is that? Genuinely curious

This the same script he used on Harden and the rockets .

You might even say I've seen this movie before

I dont think there's "no" chance. Other teams are just built better. Shaq couldnt win without Kobe. Kobe couldnt win without Pau. Duncan without his HoFers. This isn't a 1 man league.

You can honestly look at this Nuggets team and say they're a Finals bound team? Idc if they had prime Jordan, they're not winning.

Wait a second so we’re acting like the Nuggets are trash outside of Jokic now?????

 

[datznasty]

Never mind

 

[B Sox]

I think that’s just him

This whole thread used to claim the Nuggets have this great young core. "realyoungcore"

Now folks claim Mike Malone is a bad coach and they don't have enough. Somebody make it make sense.

 

[pums]

The nuggets have enough to win it all . If Jokic is as great as he is they should get it done.

Murray, Porter next to defensive role players.

Jokic is such a liability on defense on the center spot so it reallly depends on your MVP to come through

Bud is a great coach. The other guy…

 

[sohi 23]

Aite fasho I was about to say.
Nuggets probably have the strongest supporting squad outside the Celtics.

Gordon/Murray/Porter/KCP/Brown/Bones is SOLID.

 

[antidope]

Everyone gets slandered until they win a title. Thats how its always been and how it always will be.

Rings

 

[WASHED KING]

Jokic doesn't get slandered enough tbh

 

[adobecs4]

Saturday night should be an interesting game

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Bud is a great coach. The other guy…

Great players make great coaches. Bud had one foot in the Singaporean league until Giannis came thru. What's the other guy's excuse?

 

[WASHED KING]

I just think it's kind of sick to put Jokic in the conversations with Bron, Giannis, KD, Steph.

He hasn't earned a seat at that table. Same applies for Joel.

 

[pums]

scoring 60 happens so often now Dame barely gets a discussion

 

[DripNick]

See now they’re just making Argentine people look bad.

Because they are
