THE 2015 NBA PRE SEASON THREAD: BEST WISHES TO LAMAR ODOM

[$tacy]

Honestly if u think that 2011 player is ever coming back your delusional. The chucker who can't cope with being a 2nd option is the drose that we will have from now on. Y'all always omg we were robbed, omg hopefully he can get back to form, fool them days long gone. The guy we seen in the playoffs is what he is, got his moments but needs to let jimmy be the guy. Its best for all parties that him and chi part ways. Let someone else over pay and u still got a better 2 way player in butler.

Butler on Rose taking facial elbow: "Didn’t really see the play. I was probably too busy waiting for the ball to come back to me."

Lol I don't know if I'm reading too much into that but....

Rose is just a loser. The type of dude I hope fails at this point. .

the irony in this rant is crazy.

Man I don't even wish that on Kobe, Felton or Wes Matthews

One Wizards player describing Kris Humphries's 3-point range in pick-up games: "He's shooting the **** out of it."

Love media day/training camp.

Everyone claims to have added range to their jumper and is in tremendous shape.

He was doing it in practice towards the end of last year.

Every player in the league does things in practice that they won't/can't replicate in game conditions

It wasn't a shot at your team. I see tons of post like that every year during this time & just happened to come across yours

Love media day/training camp.

Everyone claims to have added range to their jumper and is in tremendous shape.

"Added 25 pounds of pure muscle in the offseason by cutting out Cinnabon."


"Now has 3 point range on his shot and will be a stretch big"


"Has been working on ballhandling over the summer and can probably play some PG"


For the young guys,

"Grew 2 more inches over the summer and didn't lose his speed or athleticism."

Exactly

He's in for a great year

@lawdog1 I'm honestly just going off complaints I've been seeing from clippers fans. If yall are happy with the production from the 3 spot I'm happy. Wes isn't all bad and will definitely have some "OK Wes!!" moments I'm just not seeing this huge leap coming from him regardless of who his teammates are. He will put up the same numbers he always has, or less.

. In the real world he shot 35% from 3

In the real world he also shot 38% on 3's in which he didn't dribble, 41% on wide open 3's, and 36% on corner 3's last year.

Right......for an average of 35% overall. Sometimes it's really just that simple

 

[tomdiginson]

You got it man. It's funny how dudes on here literally won't acknowledge 2 post I made explaining my position and why you getting bent out of shape is hypocritical.

Dudes only want to acknowledge the post that makes their lame jokes and positions look right. Literally can't debate with any sense so your reduced to comedy and troll accusations. Truly pathetic. I knew you'd cry derail. It's what folks do on NT when they have no intelligent response.

It really isnt when you realize the "context" of the situation. A guy who shot very well from the corner and shot very well on wide open 3's goes from lin and ronnie price to chris paul and Blake griffin.

You're right it really is that simple. A guy who shot very well wide open is now playing with top tier talent. It is for sure feasible that it could work out.

This isnt an endorsement of him by any means but what he did well last year with LAL suggest this could work. To automatically think it wont when there is evidence of the contrary is bias

Speaking of context we know wes played on a bad team meaning he was able to hoist 9 shots a game, 3 3's a game. He's gonna get those kinda attempts playing with cp3 blake Reddick and deandre who now wants post touches? What difference does it make if he's open and hardly shoots? If he's playing 18 MPG with 5 fga per? Where is his impact in that context?

 

[abubakr shaheed]

do bulls fans want to see rose re-sign in '17?

I cannot wait to see him land with another team. aside from the fact that he says the dumbest **** and seems incredibly selfish; on the court he hasn't been making his team or teammates better. poor shooting % and a lot of lapses on both ends of the floor.

if he was producing and an efficient player then ppl would care a lot less about how he's not humble or self aware

 

[ill steelo]

I can't believe a convo about Wes ******* Johnson is going on for this long

The guy will hardly see the court in the playoffs. Who cares man

Which is why you see guys like Deshawn Stevenson hit something like 88/100 3 pointers at the end of a practice.

However, in Humphries defense, he didn't see any PT in the playoffs due to his inability to space the floor. Wittman has emphasized that he wants to use smaller lineups, so Humphries knows exactly what he needs to work on if he wants to get some burn and be a rotation player going forward.

Jorge Castillo ‏@jorgeccastillo Sep 28

RW didn't shut down possibility of letting Humphries shoot threes: "He’s worked on it hard and I’ve liked what I’ve seen." #Wizards

Same can be said about Dejuan Blair. He dropped 30 pounds. Guys, with the exception of Nene, know exactly what they needed to do/work on this off season.

Speaking of Nene...such a contrast between him and wall.


Exhibit A:

Jorge Castillo ‏@jorgeccastillo Sep 28

Wall said he made 1000 3-pointers a day this summer.

Exhibit B:

Ben Standig
‏@BenStandig

Catching up with Nene. He stuck with his recent offseason plan. Didn't touch a basketball this summer. Not once. Nope, nada, zilch.

tomdiginson serious question. Did you not see these two post by me? Why haven't you acknowledged or disputed these post? I don't understand what your problem is dude.

My life is great though. Get off your high horse. Maybe your a Saint that's never did anything wrong or had a bad thought. You best believe there are people in this world I wish ill on based off difference of opinion. All humans do this in some form or fashion you included.

My L? I've taken some type of Internet loss I'm unaware of? I stand by what I said. You guys are looking at this in a basketball sense. I'm not.

Dude represents Chicago. Has been supported and loved. In 6 years has made $300 million dollars for 3 years of work. Still supported, still loved through the injures by his team and city.

A city where young black males suffer and die at a alarming rate because of lack of money and opportunity. He has the nerve to suggest hitting free agency 2 years out and making money to set up his son as if $300 million isn't enough. Dude needs a reality check. It's not about basketball. It's offensive on many levels what he said especially in the city he's from.

Gordon went from a lost One Direction member to looking like the nazi cop from Banshee now.


View media item 1730877

I'm all in on the Jazz man.


Love the combo of Gordon/Favors/Gobert if they can keep them together, that's a super talented core that's only getting better.

Favors and Gobert are the best defensive 4-5 combo in the league, Gordon on his way to 23/6/5.


Snyder is a good coach who's rising as well, they could be definitely be one of the top teams in 3 years or so.

Hopefully Exum becomes something and Burks can take the next step.

Really sucks Exum tore his ACL, he needs all the experience he can get.
