THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[SneakerProSr.]

No trades just add a buyout guy if someone gets hurt

 

[pums]

They've gotten booed off their home floor several times tonight. This year's Sixers are reminding me of last year's Celtics a bit.

Al Horford is a CANCER

It's going to hurt really bad watching anyone get traded or lose their spot in the rotation. They have some of the best if not the best chemistry in the league and same could be said about their depth

 

[ballinsam23]

idk. I just found out Zach Lowe picked them to win the East a few days ago. I def predicted this ugliness during the regular season but they've had a lot of bright moments too, against good teams

Same. I predicted they'd be trash in the regular season, but much better in the playoffs when the game slows down. They're getting exposed early though. Not a good look.

Zach Lowe gets like 10 things wrong and 1 thing right which overshadows everything else. He was money with his Dallas being good prediction though.

 

[tay1]

My 76ers prophecy is coming true

 

[D StaXX]

Zo just came in the game & had 2 back to back bad turnovers.
Pelicans looking flabby & sick.

Just sayin, I don't think it was a stretch to believe in them. I still do

Lowe wasn't confident in it but for him to put them up there says something

 

[pmatic]

Pelicans getting washed by the Warriors.

Offense was always gonna be a mess if the shooting is off. The problem is that we have no one who can get to the bucket at will. We had that in Fultz but wanted him to be a spot up shooter to help Simmons since he too much of a ***** to shoot

Al and J Rich also aren’t 100% but that still doesn’t mean anything. The issue of not having a real PG will still exist

The defense will be dominant at times but now it’s leaky

Lo

Pelicans getting washed by the Warriors.

Gentry might forfeit his no-Zion pass if this kind of thing keeps up...

Elton just needs to make a deal for a shooter and it will unclog quite a bit

 

[ballinsam23]

Looking at it. They match up horribly with most other East playoff teams.

Celtics, Pacers, Heat would wash them.

Even B Sox says Boston would lose a series against PHI

They've already washed Miami once and just beat Indiana. I don't know if there's enough evidence to say those three teams would wash them

 

[ballinsam23]

I'd trust those teams spacing and coaching in a 7 game series over what the Sixers have now.

if that shooter is DLo then yes since he can actually get to the rim

We are 4-1 against those teams. Now if they sit in a 2-3 all game then yea we’re toast but we’ve beaten them.

[ballinsam23]

Idk the East is low key stacked.

-Bucks will probably run through everyone but i like your matchup with them
-Celtics are clicking like crazy. Kemba like that new girl P who doesnt drive you crazy.
-Raptors have Gasol
-Pacers with Oladipo is interesting
-Jimmy can probably take over every 4th quarter with how hard the Heat play

Hell even RedicKKK, Forbes or Mills would do. Ideally you'd want both a dribbler driver and shooter but that's a tall ask

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

I'm deeeeaaaad at this masked baller on the GSW stream

 

[QU!K]

Scary line up.

If the 3 point line didn’t exist...

lol

VERY small sample size..

harris was 0-2 last night, Horford 2-4, embiid 0-1, simmons 1-1 and Jrich 3-5..

well be fine from deep.. book mark this if ya gotta.. not a top 10 in 3s but well be fine with what we got

Spacing will probably be an issue. But you still got 4 out of that 5 capable of shooting the 3. You don't think they have a good lineup?

I TRIED TO TOLD Y'ALL

 

[a-friend]

Bron finally hit Melo off with the connect.

3 blocks in the first 6 minutes. What is happening.

Nah.
He got hurt immediately after your post.
Aint not a bit of Bron's Plug Juice in that boi.

There was buzz about a Harris for DLo trade but idk if that was even true

DLo fits perfectly as he can dribble and shoot. We’d take a hit defensively but anything to get Embiid more space to work

 

[D StaXX]

Son.. Zo embarrassing.
Mans just missed all 3 free throws.

GSW has no real imminent pressure to trade Ratsull during the season. Unless they get some kind of doorbuster deal it seems unlikely he'll be traded

 

[ballinsam23]

Ya'll can have Wayne Ellington for a 2nd rounder
