Official 2016-2017 NBA Season Thread - NBA rules Chris Bosh has a career ending injury

[Based Jesus]

People talk about their defense too 

Well not Rose. We barely talk about his offense too, it's all about his health.

But Kyrie's defense, lack of assists and record w/o Bron are constantly brought up.

Derozan's defense and poor shot selection is mentioned a lot as well.

Lillard gets a pass for keeping a Blazers team relevant after it got gutted.

It's nothing like "Oh we mention Harden's flaws and no one else's"

Not even talking about just NT, but every time Harden loses his man, the vines are all over twitter in about 2 minutes. I see far more of Harden's defensive screw-ups than anyone else's. That infamous 8-minute YouTube vid could be done to a bunch of other guys too.

Groupthink. 

Once James Harden defensive lapses started catching momentum online and on social media, everyone else just joined in, and that bled onto the national spotlight.

So does KJ McDaniels get used this year?

Um. Maybe. Mchale/Bickerstaff loved them some Brewer over him.
But he needs to play like 40 minutes a game in the preseason.

Over/under how many games before the Knicks are out of the playoff picture and Hornacek loses the team like he did in PHX? To the point he had to stop drawing up plays in timeouts and go get the players who were staring at the cheerleaders. Then continue drawing the play up.

Any word on if anyone got with Thibbs about the running the players in the ground like he did in Chicago. Would hate to see a young team be run into the ground because of suicide drills, and 3 to 4 hour practices just working on defense and struggle offensive schemes.

Last I remember from John Wall was him trying to push those weak *** Zigtechs. I didn't even know he switched to Adidas until he was already a free agent, pushing for that Jordan contract. He got the Carolina connection. How come MJ won't hook him up?

He didn't switch himself

Adidas owns reebok and they were switching their shoes to crossfit and getting rid of the basketball line so all reebok athletes went to adidas

Every now and then you come through with the gems of information. I didn't know that. Learned something new.

Thanks G

you turn into a Knicks fan now or what

Only til the laker game comes on

JVG just said the same thing I said in the offseason thread... you could make one of those YouTube vids of defensive lowlights about plenty of other high-usage offensive players around the league (Lillard, Rose, Kyrie, DeRozan, etc) but for some reason everyone likes to focus on Harden.

Exactly.......

Been screaming this for a while. It is wild how people don't understand that SIMPLE concept.

But yea, folks will continue to bash him.

Regardless, watching him on the offensive end is masterful man. Footwork. Footwork. Footwork

 

[shotsrangout]

Lord jesus.. if Embiid continues to develop, he is gonna be one scary *** player.. Dude is HUGE and is faster than every celtic big man on the floor

 

[Quincy McCall]

Heat's going to be a fun team as long as they can reduce Babbit's minutes on the floor. Would be great to have Rich on the floor soon too

Such a shame Porzingis is going to be ignored this season in favor of Melo and Rose.

Good riddance to that more athletic, even less motivated Jordan Hill.

 

[pmatic]

D'Antoni is going to make Ryan Anderson earn his contract.

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Harden might be the best PG in the NBA

 

[Peep Game]

Corey Brewer ain't fooling me

Everytime I saw him play he wasn't exactly good

And yea t jones is the biggest ball hog in the NBA dude thinks he's a Dirk Blake Griffin mix

Harden is so underrated

Son can do more offensively than anyone in the NBA.

That's cause of her last round of plastic surgery. I don't know when it happened, but it was like a Jake Delhomme fall off
