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

[yeeupp]

He was one of the best man to man defenders in the league.


Dude really has it all, I don't think people understand how good he is.

Which is why i wondered why wouldnt Laker fans be willing to pull a trade.
Holding on to Julius Randle and potential and battling injury.
Boogie isnt even in his prime yet and no injury history.
24 yrs old, 24ppg, 12 rpg, 78% Ft, great for a big and so on.

But i forgot... his personality.

I'm starting to become slightly  worried about Cousins' injuries tbh

 

[dacomeup]

????


He's not, he just can't shoot.


Having 1 hole in your game makes you a project?

Decisionmaking has also been noted as a weakness. He's definitely a project, just not nearly close to the same level that Porzingis is. Mudiay is a raw prospect. That's not even debatable.

More worried about him wasting more years in Sacto.

I remember when Victor Page got banned and someone said "I didn't lose any reps, so F him"

I think that was me and what I actually said was, "Vic was a good poster, but I didn't lose any reps, so whatever."

Who are your projects in this draft class? WCS too?

 

[johnnyredstorm]

KD came in the league at like 185lbs.

Pringles looks to have enough game to operate in spite of his lank, no?

KD did some amazing things at 18 years old at Texas

You think Porzinuis achieves anywhere close to what he did at the same age in the NCAA?

I hate when people bring up KD. We're gonna just act like he wasn't the best scorer in the world for that age/draft class? He was already in the process of becoming a generational talent.

Jay Bilas used to say play a box and 1 against him and throw the box on him.

I have to say, KD's era was probably the last time I followed NCAA outside of March Madness so I don't know much of it now, and my answer is still yes.

I know nothing of dude other than recent video but he's 19, he'd effing torch the NCAA my dude. TORCH!

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Crazy, but KD led the Big 12 in blocks 

1. Kevin Durant Texas 67
2. Darrell Arthur Kansas 56
3. Jason Bennett Kansas St. 50
  Connor Atchley Texas 50
5. Julian Wright Kansas 49

And lawdog, it would have been you

i didn't lose any reps today, so screw whoever got banned 

Who was it though?

Apparently it was RyanJumpman

Pretty sure I lost around 80-90 reps. The fact that them numbers were inflated by Ryan 

 

Still RIP Ryan

I thought he disappeared a long time ago lol

How did he get banned?

That "decision making" criticism is overblown, I've seen him be great in PnR and on the break every time I've watch him.


You can't call somebody a project if they're ready to contribute day 1 and will be a mismatch a lot of nights, you're the only person I've heard call him that.

He's raw? Yea so is every other kid coming in to the league.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

He was rotting alone in the Hawks thread and after Danny Ferry was fired he went nuclear and spewed a bunch of racist rhetoric.

Apparently it was from the Gay Marriage thread in General. Ska confirm this?

Celtics and Pistons are leading candidates to land Tobias Harris. He wants a max contract.

The Lakers are reportedly interested too, but that pretty much goes without saying.

Burn!

got em! 

that was a good one 

 

[a-friend]

Ryan got banned in the Hawks thread, DMX said bye to him before hitting him in the head.

 

[duba169]

Boogie plays defense? 

Brook Lopez on that list makes it questionable

 

[Lovetohate3000]

You do not enter your prime at 24.

 

[pmatic]

24-27 are a player's usual apex-prime years.

 

[Lovetohate3000]

No more like 25-29

 

[johnnyredstorm]

24-27 are a player's usual apex-prime years.

I'd extend it to 24-30 but yeah, agreed.

 

[Lovetohate3000]

So Kobe was in his prime at 23... Lol

 

[Peep Game]

I think they're fine with Sacre as the future
