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

[Based Jesus]

I will say...the idea that Steph “differed” to KD is wild . Him or Klay for real.

Them *****s just plays very well together for 2/3 years. Mostly all 3. Shoot, Steph led them in scoring I think all 3 years and the 2017 run...they both were sporting 28/7/5 splits in the playoffs.

But I’m in the rafters tho

Steph was the leading scorer all 3 years on better shooting than KD
Playoffs was really where you saw Steph take a step back and focus on the rest of the stat sheet

Miami?

Minnesota, they should have been on that a while ago if they weren't

 

[firstclass]

Start Clax whenever he returns

 

[JD617]

Not sure how I feel about leemelone saying positive things about the Celtics now

 

[reconic supreme]

my goodness anthony davis

 

[Zo gif]

All that to lose to Milwaukee in 5.

 

[pmatic]

Darius Bazley is in AD Hell right now.

Which scenario is more likely to yall:

KD, Kyrie and Harden, 3 of the most ball dominant players in NBA history, team up midseason after starting off 6-6 and make a finals run with a rookie coach beating the likes of Milwaukee, boston and orlando on the way despite KD coming off a popped achilles, Kyrie and whatever his issue is and Harden showing up out of shape and missing training camp while having no real depth or balance on the roster

Or

Nets implode

 

[yobyellav]

like that randle is willing to take the shot he is more comfortable with even though he's knocked down a couple of 3s early.

You meant Miami, right?

 

[atlsfinest]

I'll bet $150 that they all average 20+ ppg

It's definitely a possibility. In 2017 KD, Curry and Klay All averaged over 22 points per game. It will be tougher for the nets to do it because all three guys are so ball dominant. At least with the Warriors, Klay was an excellent off-borrow player and moved well when the bar wasn't in his hand.

It's going to be interesting to see who's going to take a step back between Harden and Kyrie. One of them is going to have to change their game a lot.

at 6-6 being midseason and "the likes of Orlando"

The former. This kind of talent and scoring ability is easily scalable IMO.

Bet . And I'm only talking about games all 3 of them play together

 

[HOU$TON]

I don’t know about winning a ring year 1 but nets will be in the finals if they healthy

 

[dacomeup]

Russ ain't washed. He is who he has always been.

He’s objectively washed. He has the same flaws, but on the decline it makes these things a lot worse.

[drewsone]

The nets basically the anti-GSW

 

[B Sox]

Think Josh Green is going to be a useful piece for Dallas down the line.

 

[jpzx]

Damn DLo, 4-for-6 on FG in the first, but rough end to the quarter

 

[pmatic]

Where did Diallo get all this skill from suddenly?

 

[addict4sneakers]

How was Julius getting assists passing to these guys?

 

[storm2006]

James Harden straight up hooks defenders arms and runs into their bodies, getting all up in their grill for foul calls but limiting pre- and post-game interactions to elbow or fist bumps is going to stop the spread in the NBA. Okay.

 

[reconic supreme]

Caruso's 3 has looked godly as of late

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Luka can't dunk and he got 30 in 3
