THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[MVP]

Suns got hosed by the refs not putting more time back on the clock.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

and yet “carrying the load” means missing the playoffs and then back to back 7th seeds? Alright

And MJ and Magic were certainly carrying bum *** squads in the 90s. Quite the load they had to carry

If you not familiar with their careers I don't know what to tell you.

Mike took teams deep in the playoffs against the bad boys Pistons that had no business going that far. Magic basically took a young rebuilt Lakers squad to the finals in 91.

No matter how you cut it Steph ain't that type of player. He's not on that level.

i actually agree with this. he's not as fraud status as some of the clowns in here make him out to be. but he's not in that tier that you just described either

too bad history doesnt get you a grandfathered in playoff spot this year

 

[Peep Game]

It’s really weird watching him play this year. It’s like him getting traded to OKC just ruined his love for the game. He’s just been going through the motions and letting Shai and Schroeder do whatever they want.

He actually looks physically healthier and quicker, but the whole vegan thing will eventually get to him as the season goes on.

 

[MVP]

And history is going to show ZERO finals MVPs

Conley 0/7 today. 1 point. Yikes

 

[jumpmantwenty3]

Russ is flourishing on a team finally with shooters around him

F*** OKC for wasting his prime

 

[lawdog1]

Do clipper fans enjoy watching lou will?

Most of the time, yes.

 

[p0se1d0n]

KD the gutless, spineless coward joined a 73 win team that just eliminated him from the playoffs in a 7-game series.

Rodman joined a Bulls team who lost the previous season against Orlando.

Lebron and Bosh joined a Heat team that never made the playoffs and were a lottery team the season before.

Kobe joined the Lakers via a draft day trade and nobody knew a high schooler out of Philly would be this good.

Terrible and quite frankly IDIOTIC comparisons to that GS Warriors team.

 

[lawdog1]

Conley 0/7 today. 1 point. Yikes

Plus 3 TOs and 5 fouls. Double yikes.

 

[p0se1d0n]

F*** OKC for wasting his prime

Nobody put a gun up to Westbrook’s head man. He willingly wanted to stay in OKC and signed a max deal.

The franchise didn’t waste anything. Russell wasted himself in OKC

Blaze-more

 

[p0se1d0n]

Plus 3 TOs and 5 fouls. Double yikes.

Can’t think of anyone else right now more overpaid than Conley (Who’s currently an active player). Yes that includes CP0 with OKC.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Sad to see Conley look so unstable. Could be a slow adjustment for the team but I think it’ll come around hopefully around the break. He looked good in the last home game so I don’t think he’s rinsed quite yet

Quinn forced him to be on ball more which is what helped him. His foul trouble tonight had him out of rhythm

Myers Leonard?

 

[Tony $now]

Theses narratives are wild. Steph isn’t MJ, Kobe, Magic. He’s Steph. He has flaws in his game just like every star other than MJ. He’s also a big reason why big Russ ain’t sniffing another ring. Y’all don’t like him cool I can respect that, but the twisting of actually events is corny. Some of y’all would rather score 50 and lose rather than score 30 and win, as long as you get the credit for “carrying” a team. Last time I checked GS’s core was built through the draft and free agency.They ascended after a few years and the rest is history. It’s not like Steph held the franchise hostage to get “help” year after year.

Splash Bros changed the game

 

[Lizakers]

Pretty crazy clips are the title favorite the very next season after Lawler retires. That mofo was there 4 decades and never saw a conference finals appearance and now they are favorites to win it all

 

[p0se1d0n]

Clips ain’t winning ****. Bingo!

 

[P C H]

Can't believe how athletic Westbrook still is. Never seen anything like it.

11, 12 years in multiple knee surgeries, and he's still the freakiest.

not posting a picture with durant in it was not done by accident.

 

[wavycrocket]

Just going back and looking at how things were viewed in real
Time when the Warriors started. And it’s funny.



Barbosa spent half the prior year playing for Brazil before coming over and signing a 10 day contract with the Suns...then got injured and missed the rest of the season before hitting FA and getting scooped up by the dubs.

Festus Ezili’s had a 3 year career. Starting in 2012-2013 and ending in the 2015-2016.

Shaun Livingston was signing 10 days all over the league...trying to get right, before landing with the nets for a season, then signing with the Warriors.

Harrison Barnes was young. Klay wasn’t an all star yet. Draymond was on the bench. Mo Speights was a key cog. Just a lot of unforeseen ****. Steve Kerr had 0 wins as a head coach.

This team was a cute lil hipster playoff team, with a lot of unknowns, journey men and young talent that nobody thought could win. And they did.

Now dudes look back and pretend this franchise didn’t get it out the mud. It’s comical.

not posting a picture with durant in it was not done by accident.

That’s the “juggernaut” , unfair team that over the course of two years....beat Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Damian Lillard led teams in the playoffs.
