2016 Official NBA Off-Season Thread: Former Greatness

[ill steelo]

Rondo is great in important games, he just hasn't played in one in years

He's not worth the headache he brings. This was a really good read on him if anyone missed it LINK

I remember Kevin Eastman two years ago telling me about Rondo's Brilliance. Said Rondo and DJ were two of the brightest minds he'd ever seen in the NBA. They pick up other team's playbooks like no other, calling other team's plays before the coaches do even. Said that Rondo would often call out the sets of other teams before the opposing PG did. 

he's so smart but never learned how to shoot the ball from midrange or 3, or free throws.

Be a threat from SOMEWHERE. Jesus Christ.

Shut up Phil

Dude is like the ignorant drunk uncle who used to be the man

 

[noblekane]

thought he was a lock for the warriors..


warriors really going give decent mins to zaza, west and/or varejao

kd will probably eat alot of their minutes

 

[mgrand15]

Rondo's so smart he turns down open layups for contested midrange shots so he can get an assist. So smart he got benched for JJ Barea and Ray Felton

Can't wait for the Bulls season with those characters

its the east tho. anything can happen there

East should be much better than the west next season.

East should be much better than the west next season.

Agreed. Along with being better, it should be far more interesting.

Were they not better in 2015?

 

[wavycrocket]

East Will never be better than the west.

Let's stop kidding ourselves

I didn't think so, but it really is subjective.  No team really even gave the cavs legit competition.

no.. west had more contenders. okc gs sas   better then every team in the east  except the cavs last year.

I don't know man, the west has some intrigue in terms of bubbling teams looking to make their own way (Minnesota, Utah, etc.) but outside of that, I don't see any team of interest outside of GSW and LAC. (*takes cover) 

I guess you can make the same case for the east as well, but still.

one team race in both conferences . aint no one challenging the cavs or warriors on paper.

Don't forget the grizzlies.

I always just figured something was wrong with the guy so I never reacted to the things he says. Something about the way he posts makes it seems like he may have Asperger syndrome.

He's right though. For a long time I used to want to open hand slap Dipset for his obliviousness to everything. Then it dawned on me not too long ago that dude might have a legitimate deficiency. Maybe we've been mind ****** by his takes, but it makes sense to me.

I haven't read a full Dipset post in years though. He's on my mental list of "just skip past his post" folks.

 

[junglejim]

You guys are brutal.  This is like the time someone was like Bosh must have the HIV because he is sitting out.

 

[JD617]

Dipset tries his best though. At least he doesn't intentionally try to be as obnoxious as humanly possible like sea manup or JumpmanFromDaBay or Do Be Doo.

 

[shoeking2102]

Come on man, Asperger Syndrome?!

Y'all that's too cold man lol damn

No, this is nothing like that.

I'm gonna ask you to refrain from comparing me or anything I'm associated with to that booger eater @Zyzz though.
