The Official Off-Season NBA Thread

[spiderjericho]

He’ll be back real soon

Strength of Schedule says THIS!! Zion going on a Lebron 07 like run.

Still don't trust CP or book like that. Dubs have a lot of inexperienced guys but that's pretty much their only weakness

There's a decent amount of experience on the Warriors as well. Iggy. Steph. Draymond. Klay. Porter, Payton and Wiggins been around.

 

[WASHED KING]

eye see you can’t read

EYE see lakers....not "Lakers"

Two completely different things.

 

[pmatic]

It's tough; But I'd rather see Chris Paul fail in spectacular fashion in the playoffs again than anything else.

 

[amitt5504]

Also EYE am finally starting to see the vision with doc and the hate he gets now

I'm just about over that experiment

too many times this dude dont know how to draw up a play and ALWAYS late in the 4th we have a damn scoring drought

late 4th once again they went on a 3min hiatus of scoring until seth in the corner 3

they couldnt figure out how to beat the damn zone

Our offensive coach currently is out with cancer treatments. I’m not bringing out the pitchforks just yet

Dubs- only Wardell, Dray, Klay and Iggy have played in any kind of sustained pressurized ball. Them youngsters who they're relying on heavy right now, who knows how they'll respond. Didn't go too well in the play in last year.

Suns- they're offense is predictable in the playoffs, I still would have to see them actually beat a squad that isn't missing it's best player/2nd best player to not call them a fluke. Until then...

 

[getback]

Based on?

Westbrook's ability to take it up a notch come April & May.

Again though if not them then who replaces them in the conference finals?

at least you aint hit me with a "Do you even watch the games Bro"? like with some of our eagles fans

but it even goes back to last year as well tbh with doc and the scoring droughts.. **** it even happened under Brett now thinking bout it

but okok you right, im with you lets see what happens when we get our Off Coach byke. i can agree with you on that

Couldn't you make the same argument about the Suns or Bucks last year?

Four grizzled vets, a couple journey man and enthusiastic young players sounds like a good recipe.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

he said neither team will make the conference finals. Even if somehow the lakers fix their stuff, what other team in the west is making the conference finals barring injury?

clippers? Ehh
Nuggets beat up. Who knows when Murray comes back
Jazz? Rudy Gobert still on the team
Dallas? Ehh

I mean besides Denver it's not like PHX ran thru the west even with all the injuries they benefitted from. They're no juggernauts

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Again though if not them then who replaces them in the conference finals?

Refusing to acknowledge the other teams have bigger and worse concerns

like I said there’s a big drop off after those two teams. Only other team I give a chance is if lebron and Davis are fully healthy

 

[spiderjericho]

^^^No Jazz love?

Whoever said Denver should tank is probably right.

 

[Coupé It]

I’m sure Lavar is having this 1st picture blown up & framed as I type

LaMelo has Jim Jones legs.

What has Wiggins done besides lose in the 1st round and get ***’d by Jimny Butler?

 

[spiderjericho]

His arms match his legs unlike myself and Jimothy Jones.

 

[MVP]

Say the standings break out like this:
1 GS
2 PHX
3 UTA
4 LAL

It's easily conceivable that both go home in the 2nd rd. Barring health of course.

[pmatic]

No way I trust the Jazz in a playoff series. Gonna be toast on defense when teams go small. Again.

 

[HIM]

Would y’all prefer an easy schedule to start the season or to end the season? Anyone every ran the numbers on that?

 

[trynafeelmink]

I wouldn't say ALL. But definitely PG, Kawhi, Giannis, KD, Kyrie, Zion, Tatum, Lavine, Luka and Booker, Beal and Dame.

aww don't feel bad The FA's love Boston too.

Schroeder, Freedom (2X), Dominican Al , Hayward, Kemba, Evan Turner, James Posey, Daniel Theis the stars can't resist the Clover & the roars of the Garden

Not sure about that, but I believe the numbers bear out how a team performs over the first 20 games is a good indicator for the rest of the season.
