⭐ OFFICIAL 2020-2021 NBA Off-Season Thread: Olympics begin 7/23; NBA Draft 7/29⭐

[Public Enemy]

The adoption of "Everybody run to the 3 point line, including big men" by teams the last 5 years in an attempt to copy the goat shooter Steph has resulted in what the Nuggets did, yes. NBA coaches and teams all followed suit for the most part, and so that's what guys frequently do on the break now. Period. Like not just in the nba, in basketball in general. It's in most games now. It's common.

it was a team brain fart

Nah I’m not buying that. If on a 4-1 break and no one dives to the rim, you can’t just say “oh we forgot the score” when the wizards didn’t score for 2 minutes after making some FTs. I expect Denver to have more BBIQ than Earl Smith Jr

 

[703 hwy]

That’s when Ben Simmons is appreciated. You know for sure he isn’t pulling up for a 3pt

 

[millzszn93]

Should of been at least 1 Chip smh

you’re expecting MPJr, his shot selection and his overall world views to have a high BBIQ?

he’s making that same exact pass murray made to Danny green

 

[703 hwy]

Nuggets need to take it all the way back to the basics and run a 3 man weave in practice

 

[Coupé It]

Who does Luke Walton think he is just making a veteran coach pick up after his mess? That’s crazy to me.

wtf is this hypothetical man

Gentry grinning underneath his mask because he knows he has the job in the bag soon.

In December id agree lol he would’ve split that double at the top the same way he did vs Utah

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Can someone explain to me why Beal isn’t in the MVP conversation?

You know why.

I’m crying. Shaq don’t watch ****.

I used to find this stuff funny, but I kinda view it as, "Making fun of the perceived dumb black man." But I also get they allow themselves to be used like this. Plus I can never tell when Shaq is in character or not.

I hope so man.

I’d be fuming.

 

[wavycrocket]

Of all the idiots in that play

Porter Jr. Is the biggest one.

100% his fault.

 

[pmatic]

I hope so man.

I’d be fuming.

Actually, the Kings GM is from Houston like the T'Wolves GM is.

I wonder if he hires his guy instead of going the interim route with Gentry, if he were to fire Puke.

 

[getback]

The Pelicans playing hot potato during that last possession

Then the Nuggets acting like anything inside the 3pt arc was lava

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Denver I don't think you blame Mike Malone for that one wavycrocket

This is why I'm not trippin about us losing 4 straight. It's a lot of teams (some healthy) struggling, underperforming. This is a weird year.

 

[xxpizzo]

cook it up my guy

they sleeping still

Game had no business being that close. It’s on him.

Man these comments about MPJ not going to the basket, his up and down play, and the clip where Joker is showing him how to shoot a proper shot the next play after MPJ shot a bad shot, I feel a sense of continuous frustration from his play. It may have been better to have traded MPJ last summer and retain Grant while giving him the bigger role that he asked for.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

F’n frustrating

 

[yobyellav]

is he thinking this angle makes what he and his crew did make sense?

You’re giving them too much credit.

Way too much. Literally anyone of them could’ve gotten a layup, including Murray.
