THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[bballkid11]

Serious question, should be a good debate:

What is your DPOY criteria?? It is an award that can go to diff guys based on that.

 

[noblekane]

From this game until the clock hit 0:00 in game 7 of the 2016 NBA finals, Steph was the best basketball player in the world

 

[noblekane]

She was never his, only his turn

Varies by position.
As a guard/wing, being able to switch and guard 1-4 effectively on ball, disruptive and active hands off ball

As a big, blocks and shots altered. Gravity inside where people don’t challenge. Being able to switch outside and not be a turnstile.

With that being said, Simmons is the DPOY but no one wants to have that conversation lol

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Yeah they were bad too, but to be fair, we already knew they would be severely overmatched on the wings.

You right at the same time that doesn’t completely excuse bojan making only 1 shot and Ingles has been trash for most of the season as much as that sucks to admit

 

[firstclass]

Need a Clippers Rockets series for the culture

Western Conference Finals preferably

[Vincent Van Goat]

Even David Locke is questioning if giving rudy the max is the right decision and he’s a bigger Rudy guy than wavy. Yikes

[Brosizzlew30.23]

I recall some folks on this thread was sayin RoCo sucks like 2 weeks before the deadline lol

 

[do work son]

since that game the rockets are 9-2 with wins vs the mavs, pelicans, lakers, celtics, jazz. the losses are getting blitzed by the suns on a b2b without westbrook, and a 35 foot buzzer beater from bojan and the jazz.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Boston was 19/22 at the rim last night. Jesus

 

[D StaXX]

Simmons is definitely in the DPOY convo but I gotta go with AD still.

I was so wrong about this.
I need to see what this looks like in the playoffs but I’m eating crow right now.

 

[pmatic]

I'll go with Giannis or Lopez for DPOY.

lot of basketball still to be played. playoffs are a different animal when teams lock into a strategy to defend you. a lot of Russ' looks in transition will dry up, but if teams really try and pound us in the paint, you're opening yourself up to fast break opportunities. it'll be interesting to see how teams defend harden too with no one in the paint. jazz can't try that goofy **** playing behind him because you're conceding wide open 3s all game.

march will be interesting.

 

[bballkid11]

Giannis
AD
Simmons

3 choices IMO

 

[darthska]

right. players making fun of each other is always funny.

some dude buying a pelicans jersey and shorts, hooping on a 7 foot rim, walking around like he has some form of autism, ain't a "funny impersonation" of zion.

High key, you suggesting that people with autism walk a certain way is more offensive than anything this impersonator has ever done.

 

[yobyellav]

Largest negative impact according to what? And it follows that up saying they were ranked 3rd in the nba.....

you're right. That was a poor way of describing it.

I'm sincerely sorry if I offended you, darthska or anyone else in this thread. It was offensive and a poor way to describe it.

 

[HIM]

1. Simmons
2. Divincenzo
3. Giannis

 

[kingjay718]

those new balances are nice, the big “N” can pass as Nike lol

theydef need to deflate that “N” some.

 

[lamekilla]

I think Lebron gets the MVP and Giannis gets DPOY as an “apology”

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

The point of the tweet was to show how much better Russell is with no center

 

[B Sox]

Yanni winning MVP and DPOY easy.
