THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[clyde the glide]

Not even close. Top 10 sure.

I need names

 

[MVP]

the clips were solidly better than the Lakers that year stawp

2-2 during the regular season. Only 2 more wins. Plus the curse was still well in affect then. No way no how.

 

[P C H]

Reggie Miller, the epitome of a player coming too soon. Reggie Miller taking 8 3’s a game, would of been a 25ppg type of player today. About 6 to 7 FTA per, 8 3’s a game, yep

Is this true? LAC got just 2 more regular season wins and split the season series. I don't remember them clearly head to head, but I remember the Clips definitely having a verve that year because of Cassell

Now with that said, that was the first time they had made the playoffs since 1997

 

[storm2006]

Reggie Miller was a HoF shoo-in no matter how much you want to quibble over his stats:

1. He played on one franchise his whole career
2. That franchise was competitive the entire time
3. He’s the best player in the history of that franchise.

That’s going to get you in the hall. Pretty simple.

I think anti went too far saying Reggie doesn’t deserve to be in the HOF. I would however say agree with him that on a statistical and personal accomplishment basis they are very comparable but a few intangibles that you and others have been mentioned which tilt the narrative in Reggie’s favor.

I picked 1992-1993 at random for a comparison of the Pacers and Kings respective rosters -

Feel free to discuss...

Interesting. Mitch (Kings 25-57) missed almost half that season while Reggie played all 82 (41-41). I’m gonna look at a couple others later.

I think he'd be able to get even more FTA's than that with all his tricks

I am halfway bull ****ting tbh I was at the Kobe game where he was 40 in the second half lol

I do think the clippers win though. Playoff EB that year was really really good.

I just seen that was Elton's best season of his career

 

[MVP]

I need names

MJ in 93
MJ in 92
Bron in 16
Shaq in 01
Shaq in 00
Duncan in 03

Just off the top of my head

 

[P C H]

Yep. I used to think he was overrated and now I think he’s slightly underrated. Him hoisting away in this era and getting to the line he would be an all nba threat.

Look at what he did against Phoenix in the 2nd round. I remember that vividly. Cooking.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

 

[HIM]

Clips win this series if dunleavy doesn’t put Daniel Ewing in and allow this to happen.



Shaun Livingston was in his way to being a top 3 PG in the league

How the f was he getting so many blocks tho

My God man, my God. How many of these kinds of moments can one coach have on his resume

 

[lawdog1]

This I agree with Now. Didn’t at the time. Still don’t think he was “terrible” (well maybe ) but it was a mess lol

No. Not terrible. But totally invested in winning with the DJ, CP and Blake core, so he only thought about roster construction in that way. And that’s why you end up with moves like trading a 1st round pick for Jeff Green mid-season.

 

[MVP]

You can't say the Clips would ever win any 2nd rd series because nobody has ever seen it happen. What can go wrong with that franchise always did don't matter what iteration or coach or players.

 

[HIM]

How the f was he getting so many blocks tho

EB had a huge wingspan. I remember it was longer than Kaman’s and Kaman was like 4 inches taller

 

[P C H]

1rd pick for 10 games of Jeff green haha smh coaches are just too close to the situation and they also just aren’t aware of what’s feasibly out there from a roster construction standpoint.

All great but I see no reason why wades isn't right there or even better than some. Shaq averaged 13. Bron and shaq both had teammates do some heavy lifting wade didn't have that level support

 

[JD617]

Wow, came down from the rafters like Sting with this crazy detailed article

"All told, I grade Miller with nine to 11 low-level All-NBA years — he should have been a mainstay on that team — and 13 All-Star seasons."

If you like that one, here are the rest.

The refs lifted Wade PLENTY in that series.
