THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[Olympus]

I did not expect this for one second. Might as well let Ben Simmons shoot a three

A true Christmas miracle.

 

[tonelow]

Simmons really is incredible on the break. Think Bron and I guess KD too are the only players I’d rather have in that situation.

He's been great on the transition.

They're using him as a screener even when he has the ball. This is how Julius Randle played in the last season for the Lakers.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

It's wild how the George Hill move last season was to create cap space and to be a potential trade chip. Yeah he had that relationship with Bud but the idea behind that move was for a lot of other reasons. There was talk about waiving him too after the season when the trade first happened

 

[Olympus]

Philly hits open 3s and look what happens.

This is how they should be playing on a regular basis. Of course, they’re incredibly hot and THIS exact pace is unsustainable but JRich, Tobi, Al, and even Embiid at times are all capable 3 point shooters. They’ve just been really inconsistent. As long as they come together come playoff time they’ll be fine.

I also like Trey Burke over Neto as the backup PG for some added scoring.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Elton needs to make another move to solidify the spacing. Especially if MIL makes a move

 

[getback]

Ainge with that JB contract

Easily would’ve gotten maxed in the summer.

Daniel Ainge deserves props for pivoting away from what was supposed to be Kyrie/Hayward/AD and putting out a solid product and top 3 seed

Could have been disastrous.

 

[amitt5504]

Game of runs.

Bucks will slow the game down and start hitting shots.

Bucks haven’t really made a run lol bucks aren’t hitting shots as we’re playing good defense and forcing Giannis and the bigs to shoot

Yup. Team has been riddled by injuries all year too. Still haven’t seen them at their best yet.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Bucks will come back, I hope PHI can respond. It'll prove a lot

 

[antidope]

Lol what.... Giannis just traveled and then committed an offensive foul. Neither was called.

New age Shaq

 

[blakep267]

Refs gonna continue swallowing that Giannis whistle huh

 

[Nipsey3000]

tobi with grinch 6s on...

 

[amitt5504]

You’d think Giannis was playing at home with these no calls

 

[amitt5504]

This ball movement

 

[nick.]

They guarding Giannis like he's Simmons

 

[pmatic]

Giannis really made five threes vs the Lakers.

Simmons with a jumper

 

[addict4sneakers]

Embiid making up for that 50 piece Giannis gave him last year.

great defense

 

[tay1]

Maybe Giannis is younger than I thought after all. He definitely looks like Joel’s son today

When can the turn against Giannis start?

 

[firstclass]

If Philly looking like this defensively come May

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Bucks are still a one man team at the end of the day

 

[amitt5504]

Embiid making up for that 50 piece Giannis gave him last year.

great defense

Most of that 50 came against Simmons lol

 

[amitt5504]

Lmao this call

 

[Tony $now]

Giannis needs a jumper badly
