Official 2016-2017 NBA Season Thread - NBA rules Chris Bosh has a career ending injury

[worldbeefreeg]

CLee does this every season, as bhz just posted. He should be hoisting 5-6 threes per game.

Knicks don't really move the ball at all though, our offense is the most iso-heavy in the league I believe. Rose/Melo are the two guys who really initiate the offense for this team and too often they don't move the ball until they get all the way to the hoop or they fail to create a decent shot for themselves.

Harrison Barnes is the toughest player to gauge right now

I haven't watched many Dallas games, but he's shooting the ball well this month. 45 / 47 / 85 , but then he's averaging 20.5ppg on 18 shots.

Is he Rudy Gay?


smfh if Giannis gets even an above average jumper.

Barnes one of the weirdest players in the league right now easily.

Most FT's he's had in the past month is 7.

Most assists? 4

All this usage is coming from midrange shots with an occasional 3 per game.

He's succeeding because Dallas has literally nobody else besides him, the ghost of Deron Williams and zombie Wes Matthews.

wonder if he'll take him up on that...i thought KP was going to work with him last summer

If Giannis can just shoot league average from 3, he's going to be an MVP candidate every year.

Even without that he's projected to get there in 2 years, I could only hope and imagine what he would be like with it.

His hands are so enormous that I find it hard to picture him getting to 35% though but hey, Kawhi did it somehow.

He need to go to Chip Engellend but unfortunately Pop locked him up.

Didn't even try to fudge the hairline though. A step in the right direction.

Bron looking like a boss on that SI cover.


Let that hair go though fam.

You the GOAT, learn from the last one.

I don't know how Lebron continues to pull those Double Breasted suits off, but he does.

You the GOAT.

Kupchak structured Porzingis' private Lakers workout as essentially a challenge of his manhood rather than a validation of his gifts.

In so doing, the Lakers lost sight of how truly unique this 7'3" player could be, with skills at a size already forcing the NBA to adjust to him rather than vice-versa.

The Lakers, though, wanted to test Porzingis' physicality, and especially his "bigness," in that workout. They overvalued Porzingis' need to prove he could play in the low post and wrongly equated his shaky stamina with his overall NBA readiness.

Lakers with the L on that one...did Phil a favor

When your "GOAT" never smashed on the greatest team in history to this point.

Get Kupchak the **** outta here.

All these wrinkly old dudes been exposing themselves over the past couple years.

Talking about "toughness" but then you draft the kid with cuts in his eyebrows who Snapchatting everything.

What part of the game is that sir?

I'm sure he thought Moz had that "toughness"

It's very tough for him to keep up on an NBA court in 2016.

Dude passes up on KP. Proceeds to give mozgov that ugly contract. Lol

 

[starboy]

If you weren't knocking the Lakers or Sixers for not drafting KP in June of 2015, you look funny in the light doing it right now.

 

[everysingletime]

I don't blame teams for passing up on KP, including Kupchack. But I do at him signing Mozgov.

Its hard to properly evaluate euro guys.

Nobody can knock the Sixers for not taking Porzingis...people had barely seen him play in person and his agent/management literally refused to speak to the Sixers or let him work out for them. Him and Embiid would have been pure greatness though.

 

[dipsetgeneral]

Boston lost to OKC with no Oladipo? Damn, maybe Boston really is overrated. I dont see us making the playoffs in April with the way we have been playing since October. Brad needs to let some of the rookies and sophomores play. I think the regular rotation has been fatigued and after the course of 4 quarters the just run out of gas.

Breh lil Zeke didn't play

I know but Victor Oladipo played like half a quarter before spraining his wrist. The means Boston would of lost by at least 15 pts, had he not sprained his wrist. Plus Boston lost to Detroit with no Reggie Jackson a couple weeks ago and IT4 was there.

 

[P C H]

At the end of the day, the draft is a crapshoot. I can't personally knock lal for not drafting Kristap. The draft is tough, and it's so contextual based.

Exactly, Hinkie wanted KP so it's not really his fault that they just wouldn't let him go there.

But LA not drafting him for those reasons and giving him some BS "toughness" workout is slanderable no matter which way you look at it.

I mean if they didn't think he had upside (which is still stupid and something they wouldn't even know because of said workout/lack of DD) that's one thing.

But Kupchak look like a ol "back in my day" guy there.

Biggest surprises are Utah being 15-10 and Grizzlies being 17-7. Utah hasn't been healthy all year and they are still winning. Memphis hasn't been healthy really, and Z-Bo coming off the bench. Coaches really do matter in pro sports.

 

[awwsome]

Jazz and Grizz living playing at that 90's era pace with elite defense and it's working.

 

[bhzmafia14]

Its all about Marc and Fizdale right now for the Grizz. Marc didn't let Draymond bully him like he's done in the past and he finally has fire in his eyes.

The Warriors tried defending TA the same way they did in the playoffs a few years ago. Fiz countered that by having TA play PG at times and forcing Golden State to defend him instead of giving him an open driving lane.

If you were to tell me we were pairing Marc, TA and Zbo with

Andrew Harrison, Troy Williams, Jarell Martin, Deyonta Davis, Toney Douglas and we would be 6-1 during that stretch, I wouldn't believe it. I'm still anticipating for all of this to come crashing down eventually, but hopefully by that time, Ennis, Parsons and VC will be back in the rotation with Conley coming in another month.

 

[awwsome]

I knew Fiz would be a great HC but son is out here playing chess pulling all types of **** out of his ***.

He making Joerger look like a scrub so far.
