**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[Vincent Van Goat]

I don't think Robinson belongs in this group.

He doesn't even really know how to play basketball yet & he's one of the best shot blockers in the league.

I won’t argue it, I’m not down on him

 

[MVP]

Manu, old David Robinson, and TP aren’t anywhere close to smack dab in your prime Shaq.

Don’t get no better than that. And that’s WITH Phil, and Jerry West as the architect well.

Circumstance!

Yea Shaq is better than all of them. Fax is fax tho. He played with him and Pau who was basically at the same level as Robinson (3rd all NBA team). Duncan played with D-Rob, TP, Manu and an up and coming Kawhi.

Jerry West left the Lakers in 2001.

Kobe had way more upheaval and turmoil than Duncan and still managed to get the same number of rings and dominate him in the playoffs in the 2000s. Spin it however you want. Circumstance my ***.

Just look at how the Lakers have fallen off post Kobe as an elite player (Achilles 2013) vs how the Spurs have continued to chug along post Duncan elite player.

 

[freeze]

Anyone who hoops in Air force 1's fouls on defense every possession rationalizes it with playing good defense, coaches his team the entire game on every play, and argues the score once your team gets game point. Most likely is the oldest person on the court.

And be wild musty

[WASHED KING]

Calling it a jumper is generous. He has no lift.

Actually a good thing, consistent shooters don't elevate high on their jumpshots.

Kelly Oubre an interesting dude...

You can tell he's determined to be known as a dawg because he wants to be taken seriously. If he wasn't so competitive it would be very easy for him to be labelled as a BAN cause of the way he looks. He's got a serious chip though and he's been balling since he's been starting. Steady turning into a couture version of Paul Pierce.

All of this. He could be a championship level glue guy on a contender right now.

Stop.

Dude was a mover and shaker for never being a pro. Damn.

 

[lawdog1]

Maybe. But injuries have a lot to do with that

The depth of this class is insane

Carter, JJJ, bamba have high ceilings

Next level down guys like Knox, both bridges And Huerter have potential

Down are guys like okogie, Brown, Brunson, White donte

Then you have complete wild cards in time lord, Porter jr, Lonnie Walker and zhaire Smith, Mitchell Robinson

Then you have guys like holiday, Grayson, Hutchinson, simons, Trent, musa, spellman, Vanderbilt, Diallo, svi, Kurucs and bates-Diop

Don’t sleep on this class

How you gonna leave out our boy Shamet?

Mr. Vincent, I am disappoint

But in all seriousness, I think Shamet’s going to be a staring caliber player in the NBA for years. And I also still have hope for Jerome Robinson.

 

[HOU$TON]

Clint was getting killed last night
Harden the best post defender on the team

You’re right, he was. My bad.

[frshstunna]

Retirement.

[amitt5504]

What was so unlike Brett last night was for the Tobias/Jimmy screens every single possession in crunchtime to force Kyrie to switch onto Jimmy lol

Double or trap Jimmy and you leave Tobias open. I like that more than JJ/JoJo DHOs at the EOG

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

The Boston Massacrers

 

[don ramon]

Y’all gotta put some respeck on Timmy’s name

i swear the revisionism that goes on against the greatest players of the past on here is ridiculous.
it's like dudes were paying attention more to their my little pony cartoons than actual basketball

 

[HIM]

Clint was getting killed last night
Harden the best post defender on the team

You know i’m #TeamWindowOpen but Swiss DeAndre Jordan’s contract aint it, chief

 

[Maximus Meridius]

NT said Jimmy would ruin them
