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

I was wondering that and wanted to ask you, QU!K and @osh kosh bosh ...he certainly is an MIP frontrunner but will he ever start? Because he has a 6MOTY case too but I could see Clarkson (18/5 on 50/43/94 splits) getting the nod over him because he'll be on a playoff team and Boucher likely won't

I mean it's still early days so who knows about the playoffs

Been looking much better the last 2 weeks and are only a game off the 7th seed right now...

About starting, Nurse has still been starting games with Baynes but closing them out with Boucher down the stretch in crunch time.

It's been working for them so far given how good they've been in the 2nd half as of late but I still think he'll end up as the starter sooner than later given how much more effective he is on the defensive end.

I think the MIP is Grant/Wood 's award to lose.

Boucher is a nice story though.

He should be starting. Baynes is starting and he got one whole rebound yesterday. The problem is that he’s not really a C, he’s more of a PF, but Raptors have been using him as a stretch 5.

Nick Nurse has been using him Manu Ginobli style for a spark off the bench.

I’d say he is a contender at this point in the season for 6moty & MIP, but Jerami and Wood are ahead atm.

who knows if he can keep this production up for the whole season, he just turned 28 so he’s in his prime.

Raptors ceiling is 6th seed so I don’t know how that’ll play into the awards.

great underdog store though, happy to see him break out

I know it doesn’t mean anything but he was gleague mvp and DPOY I the same season.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

that’s the first time I’ve ever seen that happen. Utterly confused

You have though, you just don't think about it.

You see it anytime someone goes in and "palms" the ball before shooting a regular layup.

But in terms of FAKES,

Blake Griffin has shot 115 FGs and 71 of them have been threes. The decline is real.

He’s done, man. Guy just can’t move anymore.

This is hilarious

That’s me at concerts when the Jameson and reefer has impaired my ability to properly rap/sing along with the artist.

Draymond is getting love for throwing a turnover and politely blaming it on the rookie. The warriors must have won last night.

Kyrie gonna spend 50% of his minutes with the second unit

 

[QU!K]

Myrie probably feel threatened, coming back to assert his dominance

 

[storm2006]

I thought I was tripping for years and didn't want to seem like a hater so I'm glad this finally came to light. It's one of those things that now you'll never be able to un-hear when listening to his sing-along videos

Deadass, this exactly what I thought of when watching that video

Revenge Tour is byke

I don't know if that counts but fair enough . I think their best bet is bringing Harden off the bench. That way he won't have to adjust his game too much and he's good enough to make the reserves look better than they would otherwise

 

[B Sox]

I wonder where Alfonzo ends up next year. Don’t really see the point in them paying him when they have other guards like NAW and Lewis with potential who are cheap.

Charlotte gonna have some money

Is that a problem? That would allow him to do all the Hot Saucin' he wants without severely rustling anyone's jimmies.

Not the problem it's definitely the solution

I think he’d be “alright” with that so long as he starts and finishes the game. They still need some things tho....because Laundry Shaman isn’t it. And Dinwiddie is out for a hot minute.

No Tatum for the Wed/Fri Philly games...

No Tatum for the Wed/Fri Philly games...

This is what I figured. Stevens' tone on Sunday didn't sound promising.

 

[addict4sneakers]

I’m running the NT fantasy league without Tatum

 

[storm2006]

Brooklyn gave up 123 points last night and still came away with the W. We are going to see a lot of that from them this season. They are going to have AT LEAST one elite ISO player on the floor at all times so if the opposing team's second unit (or even their main lineup) goes on a prolonged drought, it could be curtains because the Nets in theory should just continue to get buckets. Moreso than other teams, taking advantage of those droughts will be the difference between winning and losing for them.
