The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

[Maximus Meridius]

The apology will be as loud as the disrespect was.

The apology from who? The warriors organization?

 

[va757va]

i f w chet big time…

reminds me of pau down low and passing.. but with a handle a 3!!!

you see dudes knees and think no way he can bang down low…but he’s far from soft, doesn’t play finesse at all…

in this video alone i count him take contact and finish 2-3 times.. goes vertical and suffocates a couple dunkers too…that boy filthy…

THE BIG MAN BYKE!!

Whole time Scoot is built like David Robinson and was just sitting there at #2

Scoot has been built like a grown *** man since like 5th grade

 

[HOU$TON]

Not sure who, but Player B >

Good answer

All from the 2019 class

 

[WASHED KING]

That was last season

That’s the joke

 

[ballinsam23]

Good answer

All from the 2019 class

I now looked it up. I still take KPJ over Herro and Simons.

Hope Ime gets him focused, there's too much talent there to not make the money he should be making.

That was me, but then I stopped growing when I hit 5’8” in 7th grade.

 

[storm2006]

i feel like none of these players fit the criteria to be 'most improved'

That was exactly my thought Mikal Bridges being the favorite is very tricky. He was a 20PPG scorer last season but he went from 17PPG in Phoenix (56 games) to 26PPG in Brooklyn (27 games) on virtually the same splits. Feel like for jump he has already shown that I would take someone else. Maxey was also a 20PPG scorer on 48/43/85 splits so what type of leap can happen there?

Vegas goofed on that one but they also have Warriors with the 3rd best odds in the West soooo

 

[storm2006]

How many times had the media said this and been wrong?

Several but I am not sure that really matters because I was speaking strictly to why WASHED KING hates on Wenbenyama so much. I would have to check his post history, if available, to see if he held similar animus towards the other players that the media has said that about over the last 20 years. It seems pretty clear with Victor, though.

 

[Platinum State]

Imagine Emoni becomes a legit scorer. Im suprised no on else took him after the first round

 

[Maximus Meridius]

How many times had the media said this and been wrong?

Wiggins

Simmons

 

[WASHED KING]

Wiggins

Simmons

Yup and I didn’t hate on either of those guys.

Wanted Ben to succeed too.

 

[HOU$TON]

I now looked it up. I still take KPJ over Herro and Simons.

Hope Ime gets him focused, there's too much talent there to not make the money he should be making.

Tyler Herro, KPJ, and Jordan Poole

Tyler and Poole both make about $120M over the next 4 years compared to KPJ making around $80M. KPJ the point guard wasn’t good but he definitely made progress as an overall player. I think he will surprise people next season playing a role better suited for him. He has the talent.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

I like both Vic and Chet, I think Vic ceiling is higher though. I just wanna see both of 'em healthy cuz dudes that size ain't built to run up and down a court for 82 games.

Cool but you gotta attach game filM so we can supplement with eye test. I’ll vote once you do that

 

[addict4sneakers]

Chet giving me white KG vibes

 

[tomdiginson]

Wiggins

Simmons

It's laughable at this point.

 

[Mark Antony]

This is bull**** though

Ayton was averaging 18 and 10 before CP arrived, in his second season. Rubio coming there helped him a lot. He was just mad inconsistent.

That 2021 playoff run was great because he was consistently good on both ends.

But if anything, he just stalled out under CP during that past two years.

CP ain't gonna do **** for Kuminga besides yelling at him.

I don’t remember the discussion skewing “18 and 12, this guy is great”. It was almost all negative talk.

Lil Bobby J ***

 

[Maximus Meridius]

The problems with Ayton is he's pretty much the same player rookie season to now. He quit on them 2 years in a row in the playoffs. He plays like he's 6'2...

Chet giving me white KG vibes

Skinny comparisons

 

[WASHED KING]

It's laughable at this point.

Vic going to be laughable too
