THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[B Sox]

Steph Curry was robbed

Not really. Teams basically had identical records too. Maybe they could've been co-ROYs?

 

[lawdog1]

Mcw was rookie of the year?

Isn't he out of the league?


*edit

Ohh. He's still in the L. How is he worse than he was in his rookie yr though lol

MCW basically won ROY by default because that rookie class was somewhat weak (although that class has produced some very good players like Giannis, Dipo and Gobert). That’s the draft Anthony Bennett went No. 1.

At the very least.

The nerve of that bum

At the very least.

What's your argument exactly? Tyreke was really good. Feel like you're discrediting him for no reason.

GOAT rookie season next to magic

 

[HOU$TON]

Should be a good game. We’ve had their number the past few seasons, but they smacked us last game and looked like the better team. Hopefully rockets respond

Said this before the season, but the fit doesn't make any sense offensively with Simmons/Horford/Embiid on the floor at the same time. Al is really skilled but he isn't going to be able to really show it when Ben can't effectively run PnR because he won't shoot and Embiid is also in the way. He basically just gets turned into a spot up 3pt shooter.

While they do have a big issue there, the defense with those 3 on the floor at the same time might just be too suffocating for other teams to succeed against in a 7 game series.

If I were Brown, I'd probably start Thybulle and bring Al off the bench. When Embiid is off the floor, both Al and Ben should be on the floor at all times.

that's what we've been saying the in Sixers forum, a lineup of Embiid, Tobi, Thybulle, J Rich and Ben makes much more sense offensively while still maintaining the elite defence. Al will have a bigger role anchoring the 2nd unite while utilizing his skillset much more.

who ends the game is still a question mark.

This is all on coach right now. But when he says things like this:

“Joel and Tobias [Harris] have kind of been like the guys that have been getting most of the shots,” coach Brett Brown said. “Ben has the ball. So J-Rich is figuring stuff out and Al is figuring stuff out.”

It tells me that he is clueless and is relying on the players to figure it out on their own, he thinks his role is just to make sure they get their time on the court to figure it out. I honestly don't think he has the guts to move Al to the bench.

GOAT rookie season next to magic

Blake Griffin is the only other player I can think of off the top of my head that had a better rookie year in the last couple decades, but he was the #1 pick in the same year as Tyreke and Curry and he took a redshirt year.

Dudes trying to re-write history in order to give Underdog Steve more accolades.

Folks need to leave this ridiculous Bistephtual propaganda in this decade.

 

[Cashflow]

Didn’t Reke average 20 5 5 his rookie year? If I recall correctly he was like 4th or 5th rookie all time to do so

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Should be a good game. We’ve had their number the past few seasons, but they smacked us last game and looked like the better team. Hopefully rockets respond

Looking forward to all of their games this season, I feel like Houston is the barometer for Denver

 

[noblekane]

sweet good games today

 

[lawdog1]

Didn’t Reke average 20 5 5 his rookie year? If I recall correctly he was like 4th or 5th rookie all time to do so

That’s my recollection as well.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

blows my mind that the sixers are favorites today in Indiana lol

they 14-3 at home meanwhile we 7-10 on the road

On paper embiid has done very well on turner and horford has done very well on sabonis

Vic will obviously impact a potential series but yeah

 

[had pants]

 

[ballinsam23]

I remember practicing that move Tyreke did on Jared Jeffries none stop. He pulled it off so nicely.

 

[pmatic]

I thought Boogie and Tyreke were going to be like a poor man's Shaq and Kobe.

 

[everysingletime]

Mike was an animal from a steals perspective. Had around 300 less games played and still came out with more steals than both of them

 

[xxpizzo]
