**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[Vincent Van Goat]

Any of you folks make straight bets on whether or not LAL will make the playoffs. Would like to follow that to close out the season

 

[addict4sneakers]

One scored 19 points on 20 shots against a bottom 5 defense. The other outscored him on 5 fewer shots against a legit team. By the lack of posts we can guess which is which.

It’s 8 PM in LA, @Maximus Meridius probably out hooping

 

[wavycrocket]

34 years old, 16 seasons, coming off a significant injury and looks like he’s not 100%. Y’all gotta relax.

You think it’s going to get better?

He been getting picked on, on defense for 2 1/2 straight year.

Throw **** at the wall enough times eventually it sticks. I'm here for it, all of it.

Oh like Brady falling off a cliff after 4 rings...... and now he’s got 6

 

[a-friend]

We’ve played 1 game against them with the current roster. 4 of those we had Fultz starting.

Oh so Fultz is chopped liver now...............man I thought Fultz hung the Moon in the sky about two weeks ago.
It was Fultz or nothing

 

[3god]

LeBron had a mean triple double though... he’s declining? stop.

You know Philly turns their back on their own.

Did you watch the game? Dewayne Dedmon was guarding him

Forever a Fultz stan #F2G

 

[frshstunna]

Bron still nice...he just ain’t play well enough so far this season to carry the LA Cavs...he had to go above and beyond in the past n it ain’t that this year

 

[drewsone]

How much y’all wanna bet Bron start looking more spry post-ASG

 

[3god]

So you’re gonna fault him for who’s guarding him? You gonna fault Jordan for shooting over Ehlo?

 

[3god]

Like clockwork

Empty stats

Empty stats

Who else can get those numbers so easy though? My point is how much he has left in the tank.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Smh, GSW bench gonna delay my True Detective catch up

Blog Boys only reading the box scores

You think a washed up player gonna be able to do that? That’s my only point. He ain’t breaking down like some are trying to insinuate.

That wasn't easy though if you watched the game.

 

[drewsone]

Bron picking his spots.
Every year he’s washed pre-asg then he comes back all spry and ****

Prob needs the week off to go to Miami and re up

Cept he aint in the east no mo

 

[a-friend]

You Mae Young dudes are funny too. I watched dude have some complete dog **** shooting games and didn’t say anything, basically because there was no reason to do so, but #YALL love to toot his horn when he doesn’t suck.

He gets slandered so much dudes were in here slandering his bad game lastnight, and my ***** didn't even play lastnight.
You may not, but he never doesn't get slandered.
He gets it every game.

 

[Olympus]

Someone remind me that the 76er are coming out the East and the East is in trouble with the best starting 5 in the East.


No shots to the fans on here but let’s calm down and let em play thy game

The starting 5 is still lethal when we’re flowing. You seen that against the Nuggets and Lakers.

Problem is when we run into physical, tough defensive teams like Boston/Toronto/Milwaukee (coincidentally our primary competition) we get punched in the mouth and Brown can’t adjust.

I’m not mad at 3 pt loss. Fix a few obvious mistakes and we win this but an L is an L

Mike Scott played 13 minutes and took ZERO shots. What is the point of having a guy shooting around 40% from 3 the last 2 seasons on the floor if he’s not going to be involved into our offense? An offense that also has to deal with Ben Simmons/TJ McConnell shrinking the floor. To me, this is the biggest problem. We average something like 27 assists per game, 2nd in the league. We only had 21 tonight. The ball didn’t feel like it was moving, constantly looking for the open man. Too many times was the ball being stopped after a pass. It’s the reason we had 2 buckets over nearly a 9 minute stretch toward the later stages of the game. Boston plays tough D, but we weren’t far off of our 115ppg average.

You also had Embiid only getting to the line 4 times when he averages 10 and Tobias shooting 29% and 0-6 from 3. If Embiid gets to the line 2 more times or Harris drains 1 of those 6 3s we could have won that game. But that’s how it goes sometimes. I don’t expect either of those two things to be a common occurrence.

Still, Brown has to be better.
