THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[WASHED KING]

That’s cap lol
The only bad parts of the state is the mountains and anything east of Raleigh
And isn’t MD country as hell outside of BMore and southern Maryland lol

Woah woah...east of Raleigh produces the best hoopers from the state. Gotta put some respect on the 2-5....the rednecks and the cops do be wilding over here though.

 

[QU!K]

Ehh.......

In 2018
Demar Derozan was still on the Raptors
Dwayne Casey was still the coach
Pascal Siakam hadn’t won MIP
Raptors hadn’t become NBA Champions
Win 4 straight after dropping 2 to MVP Giannis
Marc Gasol hadn’t made Embiid his step son
FVV hadn’t clamped Curry in the finals
Nick Nurse hadn’t won COTY

Lebron still played on the Cavs
Tyrone Lue was still a head coach
JR Smith was still a Cav

Is there even an argument for anyone else but NN?

Jenkins, Spo? Not saying they should, but an argument could definitely be made.

I'm seeing that his age is a major qualifier. If he were 31 but for some reason had just cracked the league 2 years ago and still put up all the same numbers, exactly, would you still support him the same?

age is a huge qualifier in sports.. at 31, the window for growth and getting better is much smaller if not closed. He's fancy player and a deep shooter with elite vision, but at 31, expectations that his skills will diminish soon are likely as his speed diminishes. At 21, being fancy and a deep shooter with elite vision is elite, because he's so far from his physical prime, it's highly likely he gets better in the facets of the game he's already doing well in with so much forseeable time to train his craft. His window is a door wall currently.

 

[Quincy McCall]

Yeah but I don't think anyone had the Raps being THIS good still along with all the missed time.

I'm fairly certain the awards going to NN but this is a valid point you made.

Yea' I thought Raps would be good, but didn't expect Siakam's meteoric rise and wasn't sure what 2020 Lowry/Gasol was going to get you

 

[trashpaw]

he got hot for 2 seconds. had b2b 3s just like that meme. Figured he'd go in flame thrower mode after. Missed all subsequent shots moving forwards. Then checks out of game.


#Bubble.

Yup - thought the same too but then OG hit B2B 3’s as well and that ended that haha

this is garbo

OG missed 1 shot yesterday.

Ibaka, Norm, and Terrence Davis had below avg games

Billy Donavan? OKC is another team that has a significantly better record as compared to what most people expected.

 

[noblekane]

it do look like him

The Raptors being completely dominant with all that missed time is way more impressive. Even without it he’s coach of the year to me. Memphis has a good amount of young high level talent. I know they are young but guys like Jonas and Kyle Anderson are guys who came from winning situations who are helping big. All that said they are 32-34. It’s surprising but there’s almost always a team like that. Dominating after losing arguably the best player in the game is unheard of and pretty much never happens.

 

[BennyIll22]

I am an OKC fan but Donovan is probably over Jenkins also to me. OKC was supposed to be a bottom feeder. Everyone thought that coming in.

Blob Fish tomato. Yuck. I wanna punt it.

 

[noblekane]

if coy didnt go by wins billy donavan would get it over nurse

that roster had a major overhaul

 

[lawdog1]

I think Jenkins did a fine job with the Hornets, but they’re still a bad team. It’s great he helped keep them at merely bad instead of god awful, but not worthy of COTY IMO.

 

[amitt5504]

Someone save me from Brett smh

 

[BennyIll22]

Someone save me from Brett smh

Jimmy and TJ with the same career high...the battle continues lol

 

[amitt5504]

Jimmy and TJ with the same career high...the battle continues lol

Ironically enough, they both went off in the 1st and Brett insisted it on not doubling and having the big drop on the screen which led to more and more open shots.

taylor Jenkins coaches

 

[B Sox]

I don’t think they have nearly enough late game shotmaking. But this is why we play the games.

I think Lowry/FVF/Siakam is good enough, especially if they are going to defend in a similar manner to what we saw last night.

 

[lawdog1]

taylor Jenkins coaches

My bad. Then, yes, he has a COTY case. Excuse my bad memory - Ronatime got to me

 

[B Sox]
