The Official Off-Season NBA Thread

Can't even wait to see what Harden does in a 3 game sample without cats dissecting **** like it's bleacher report.

The hedge on that argument is that he was choking as the #1 option. As @addict4sneakers just said, the great ones can adjust their games to be a #2. Jim has gone from one of the best scorers to one of the best facilitators, let’s not act like he was the #1 option with Brooklyn, Jim knows this is Embiid show

He choked as the 3rd option too

 

[antidope]

you'd rather the favorite win every game, every time?

Nah but one & done just creates a level of randomness that I don't rock with

You think people are talking about the regular season?

I want you to stop talking.

In OKC? When Miami clearly gameplanned to stop him more than anybody?

Or last year when he got hurt?

 

[antidope]

We are officially at the mid season mark. This is when the beef really starts

 

[storm2006]

a certain top 15 COAT couldnt have said it any better

I was thinking about it earlier but Doc is lowkey a severe underachiever considering he only has one ring for coaching the Big 3+Rondo Celtics, Lob City and I guess we'll see what happens with Embiid Harden.

KG, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Rondo, Chris Paul, Embiid, Harden and Top 5 Tmac resulting in two Finals appearances and one ring is disappointing by NBA standards IMO.

Great regular season coach, though

We giving him the injury excuse for last year when he shouldn’t have played but caused more harm to his team because he did?

You can call it that. Not a big deal imo

Harden trick yall

Harden trick yall

Bait but imma let this slide

 

[storm2006]

It aint that deep man . Wasn't tryna send you into witsec like Tasha in book 2. Just tryna say maybe you should take a step back and learn from being overzealous with Ben like everyone tried to tell you before. Maybe there's a valid reason not everyone is crowning Philly because they added harden

My guy is already on Book 2 The 2021-2022 Lakers state of affairs sending BIG LEEMELONE into an aggressive binge through the Power-verse is one of the better first half of the season narratives

 

[king j]

Harden trick yall

Harden just Westbrook w/a double step back

 

[art vandelay]

Seriously, I think Philly has potential, the trade worked for both teams, but Danny Green tho….. no other team inquired about the sharpshooting 3 point specialist and 3x world champion?

I've finished two actual books this month and about to make it 3. Thinking about writing one now. Srs

 

[Rootin4EverybodyBlack]

Can’t wait for neither the Nets nor the Sixers to make the finals

Pretty sure Glenn has the distinction of having coached the most teams that have blown playoff series after getting 3 wins.

Was there ever an explanation behind hosting three consecutive all-star weekends in Cleveland, Salt Lake City and Indianapolis? I understand spreading the love and sharing the wealth but consecutively? Jesus

 

[mrswagtastic]

Doc needs to have at least 2 of Embiid, Harden, Tobias, Maxey on the floor at all times in the playoffs. He still don’t know how to stagger minutes and his lineups are questionable. Also, for the step back critics (it was actually a 2)

 

[AEA18]

Is there a All Star Weekend thread or we posting here?

 

[N41D]

Eastern Conference playoffs gonna be SPICY. Can't wait.

I'll believe in James Harden and Morey when they earn it. To this point, neither has.

They're lucky Joel is so damn good it may not matter.

 

[MVP]

First team should be
Steph,Luka,Gianni,Embiid, Jokic.

Now one of either Embiid or Jokic is gonna be shafted for Bron

Ja and Derozan should be the guards on the 1st team
