THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[ballinsam23]

Ok Mark Cuban

Chill. Again NT tryna make it a black and white thing. Got nothing to do with skin color. Most of our players here lack fundamentals and overall have a low IQ. This is just common sense.

I enjoy watching high IQ basketball and ball movement. Could care less about athletic ability and wingspan. It’s why fans loved watching the Spurs, Warriors, Suns etc. It was high IQ basketball with constant movement. Another reason why team USA got smacked even if it was our C team. Hell the redeem team almost loss to a heavily unathletic Spain team. European style of basketball combined with American players is unbeatable. The game here relies way too much on iso basketball even if you’re not an offensive great talent.

Not necessarily. They'll get passes in certain cases that basketball stars simply do not get. Aaron Rodgers never won and they'd still call him one of the GOATs and were doing such before he even won. Dan Marino same deal. That would NEVER happen in basketball ever. Guy being heralded as top 5 or whatever with no chip? Not in basketball.

do you not remember how many imaginary rings bron has now? bruh is up to 8 rings b. 8.

Euroleague play is beautiful compared to the iso garbage we see here. Players here lack fundamentals that their talent and athletic ability sort of cover up most nights.

 

[buc em]

that says the league is weak.

A guy averaging that over there then immediately averaging 20-5-5 in the NBA and then a 30 point triple double the next year means the league is weak.......lol

Guys don’t go iso every other time down the floor and hunt for triple doubles and stat pad in that league. Players rarely ever play over 25 minutes per game and just about everyone at every position from 1-5 are great passers cause they all share the ball. You go out there and play selfish they don’t care who you are, they’ll park you right on the bench or send you back to whatever country you came from.

this is the worst one I’ve seen

and here i was thinking that hanging up banners for making the playoffs would be LAC’s most embarrassing moment...despite all the aesthetic brilliance that exists in LA, they’ve managed to out do themselves

Again nature of the sport. One guy can only do so much in football. Rodgers cant shut down Jackson while throwing for 500 yards 5 TDs. He just gotta hope his defense doesnt let jackson doesnt do as well as he does. Kawhi leonard CAN score 30 points while limiting lebron. He has that opportunity. See the difference?

 

[freeze]

euroleague would get dogwalked by the nba's best teams. Even the B teams. They may play well together, but talent will ultimately win. Because they're so team oriented, they're less talented individually. It's why the really talented players leave and come play with the big boys. Only thing they have tougher than the nba is is foul calls, and how they allow dudes to openly goaltend.

 

[MVP]

Saying he's not as good as Phil Jackson as a coach or pointing out the absolute fact that they never repeated is diminishing his greatness yet ALA does it with the Lakers all the damn time. Buncha hypocrites.

“Low IQ”?
“Lack fundamentals”

What the hell are you talking about . Stop right where you are man. You geeking.

 

[dacomeup]

Get your Mark Cuban on. We have the best iso players in the world. EuroLeague basketball is not a better product than the NBA.

 

[MVP]

Only the Clippers would glorify being broke bois essentially.

One thing is abundantly clear little brother is OD obsessed with what big brother is doing.

 

[drewsone]

He's just trying to make those who scan his social media accounts on a daily basis happy.
I am considered a "LeBron stan", but I've never bothered to look at any of his social media accounts. Yet you have these vultures constantly soaring above, watching if he should post anything they can make fun of. And apparently today, that was the best material they had to work with.

lmao pretty true tho tbh
anti-bronilists talk more about him than stans do

i think they call that uh.. rent free right?

 

[addict4sneakers]

We have the best athletes.
we are the most fundamental players.
We have the highest IQ players

 

[atlsfinest]

Does LeBron not like Derozen or something? Seems like he get particular pleasure in torturing him.

 

[ballinsam23]

Get your Mark Cuban on. We have the best iso players in the world. EuroLeague basketball is not a better product than the NBA.

The product on the floor is much better. Combining that product with our iso players is what the Warriors and Spurs built dynasties on.

 

[ballinsam23]

And sorry we have some really really dumb players. I’ve played in enough levels to know that whether your playing pick up or in the NIT there’s a lot of low IQ players on the court.

Growing up rarely any coach (maybe outside of high school or a camp here and there) teaches you team fundamentals.

 

[addict4sneakers]

The product on the floor is much better. Combining that product with our iso players is what the Warriors and Spurs built dynasties on.

LOL fam the warriors built a dynasty off a skinny kid with a 1 of 1 shot selection, coupled with another lights out shooter with a green light and they became unbeatable by adding one of the goat level ISO players. Golden state didn’t need to iso but there isn’t a coach in the world that would try to duplicate their shot selection

Lower level coaches hate steph. He’s a unique talent.

 

[wavycrocket]

We have the best athletes.
we are the most fundamental players.
We have the highest IQ players

Right....like I could understand if ballinsam23 argued chemistry and playing together since middle school as points of advantage. But to cast American players (80% who are black) as #lowiq, not fundamental and strictly as “iso ball players” is indeed playing on not true stereotypes as old as since basketball got integrated..

 

[addict4sneakers]

Luka is a prodigy that learned watching harden and lebron. 2 Americans with more athletic ability. He’s in awe of their IQ

Jokic is a 1 of 1. There wasn’t some sloppy old man blessing him with vision. That’s a gift.

there are still your henzonjas and Jan vessley. And yaroslav korolev. And Frank niketalk. I can go on

 

[ballinsam23]

Maybe it’s the coaches fault then. Because watching teams like the current Celtics, Raptors, Spurs for 20 years, past Suns teams etc etc is night and day compared to whatever the **** teams like the Bulls Knicks etc are doing out there. You can obviously point to the roster talent, but the IQ on the players of those teams is night and day. The talent level isn’t some out of world difference.

Like if Brad Stevens or Pop coaches the current Bulls Knicks w.e you’d see a difference.

 

[ballinsam23]

Lebron Harden are super high IQ players though. You’re bringing up all time greats. Even if Harden chooses to
take stupid iso shots 75% of the time.

It’s roster talent. 100%.

You know there are bad European teams right?

Ppl loved watching the Spurs play? huh?
nobody "loved" watching them grind out 90pts a game

as for the warriors and suns, high scoring offenses tend to stimulate a lot of ppl
both offenses really changed the way to play. reason why guys get away with jacking up 10+ 3's a game

 

[addict4sneakers]

Trae Young is high IQ at 21. CP3 came into the league with a high IQ. KAT minus that half court shot is a basketball genius. Lonzo with his flaws is a high IQ player. Today I got time cuz

 

[ballinsam23]

Anyone that picked up a basketball in their life loved watching the Spurs play. Maybe not the casual fan. Did you not see how they dismantled the Heat? It was beautiful basketball.
