THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[abubakr shaheed]

I didn't realize the Warriors had THIS much real estate in ya'll heads

Imagine having this much vitriol for a 6'2 guard that went to Davidson for 4 years...far surpassed his expectations...who's a lock for the HOF with a legacy set in stone. The Warriors could go 0-82 for the next 5 seasons...and you all still have to live with the fact that this man is the central reason why ya'll favorite players have been tossed out of the playoffs and legacies shortchanged because of it. The sodium levels that you've all seen risen since 2015...all leads back to Chef Curry

Imagine being this invested in a depleted team with ZERO expectations from the consensus. Tuning in to see what the Marquese Chriss Warriors are going to do isn't going to lessen that sting from the past 5 years.

you're right anyone who makes fun of the warriors is probably in a bad place in their life and most likely broke as well.

it doesn't make sense why anyone would criticize the warriors when there are 29 other teams in the NBA

 

[smedroc]

Man, I hate the Warriors as much as anyone but this season is about to bring out pure idiocy.

I love to see it.

I know it's only the first week of the season but I can't tell you guys enough about how impressed I've been with Dwight Howard. He's doing all the little things, bringing good energy and not complaining about touches.

16 pts on 8 for 8 shooting without us finding a single play for him. Just put-backs, alley oops and rolling toward the basket. Also he's playing good interior defense.

The frustrating part about Dwight Howard's career is that he could have been doing this for the last 3 or 4 years but he still thought he was a star and kept complaining about post touches. He's always had the ability to be an elite rim runner and to guy. It's unfortunate that it took his career almost ending for him to finally accept his position as a role player.

So many instances of this happening with other players, luckily for him he saw the light before it was to late.

Thoughts for the morning. Y'all have a good one.

Warrior fans?

 

[friscostylez]

For all those slandering or will slander the warriors this season, i hope you will feel as good as I and other warriors fans have felt these past 5 seasons.

Warriors gotta do what the Nets did last season. Give Dlo the ball and let him do his thing. Everyone else follows. That’s when they did well.

Curry needs to be the Curry to Dlo’s KD

Dlo needs more help. First ejection of his career because he’s sick of his supporting cast already.

In all seriousness watching the Warriors is really interesting. First team with a superstar and a poor supporting cast that still tries this motion offense/equalitarian system. They barely have ran any pick and rolls with Curry and Dray from what I’ve seen. Also Curry’s shot hasn’t been there just yet.

Warriors are 4.5 dogs against NOP

31 year old role player talmbout "the next 5 years are mine". Pat sit down and know your role.

I used to like Pat Beverly because of his underdog story, and his work ethic but he's starting to get on my nerves with all his yapping and trash talking.

You as well famb. Wishing nothing but the best for you and yours on this wonderful day. BEAUTIFUL post.

 

[aepps20]

BEAUTIFUL exchange.

 

[ill steelo]

There was some bad shot selection from a handful of mavs, especially jalen, a bummer but at least luka seems aware of it

They had a nice 2 (really 3) man game working with Luka on the ball hunting Dame on the switch, driving to the rim then giving it to KP on the cut. Dunk/foul every time.

I don’t understand the James Harden impersonation in the last 2 minutes. They gave that one away.

!!!!

Taking way too long to get the ball into his hands.

Spam PnR so your guys can play w/a 4 on 3 advantage, because lord knows this GSW team needs it

Give him far more ISO's. Let him get in his bag.

This off the ball gravity **** is getting them 21 skunk'd every game

2 years ago, KD still on the team:
Link

Following shootaround on Wednesday, he was asked point blank: "Do you feel like the ball is in your hands enough this season?"

"Definitely want to be in more pick-and-roll situations," Curry answered. "So that whether I'm getting shots or we're manufacturing ball movement -- that's a strength of ours, regardless of how teams play us.

Now would be a great time

live look at Pat Bev

 

[vood99]

That's what I assumed so why would be even take anything from them? Being a nice guy I guess.

Depends on the terms of the contract. There may be language in there that gives Adidas an argument they can terminate the agreement without paying him anything else. Him accepting a buyout is a compromise that lets both parties walk away without having to litigate the matter.

I would expect that, with big endorsement deals, major shoe companies give themselves some protections in the agreement to cancel them if something happens with the athlete to make clear the company will not get full value out of the deal. Whether that be an injury, major negative off-court incident.

Yeah you called it lawdog1

Other than Harden does Adidas have any other marquee or even mid-tier player?

They got Dame, Donny, and I think KP?

 

[alchemist iq]

Dame
Donovan Mitchell
D Rose

Trae young might get a sig, that's if both adidas and trae decide to continue the relationship. Trae is increasing his stock Everytime he has the ball in his hands. I rather see a trae sig then Adidas continuing to make Sigs for Wall.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Trae needs his own shoe for the fact that the ones he’s wearing now are hideous

 

[vood99]

Thanks fam, Adidas really needs to step their marketing game up. Had no idea those cats were signed to them.

did they run any pick and rolls for D'lo? I think he was 2nd total last year and that was his bread and butter. Are they adjusting to personnel or does Dlo have to adjust to a new style of play?

 

[Based Jesus]

I'll allow it.

You supposedly #2 behind Magic? Prove it.

You replace Steph with Magic on this squad and they're not doing any better.

 

[finessence]

Trae gotta get a shoe. It’ll happen soon

Raptors should permanently go back to the old 90's jerseys and court. Its so much better. Best jersey ever probably.
