**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[Moheezy]

I have garbage internet right now and can't stream anything. How is Fultz looking tonight?

Already 6, 3, and 3 in 11 mins. Is he playing more within the team flow? Or are they still spoon feeding him and keeping Simmons on the side?

 

[Moheezy]

^^^ I still think Nerlens could be a solid rotational player for the right team, if he embraces being an energy, rebound, defense guy.

Okafor, not so much. His above-average post-scorning skills don’t nearly make up for all his other flaws.

Noel is already that with the thunder, it was a solid pickup for them.

As for Oak, this stint may very well be his last if he hasn't improved on anything else.

 

[P C H]

P C H you changed your mind on Simmons saying he has an insane ceiling?

Nah not really. I was speaking more so from how the sixers would view their drafting and how they would view Ben Simmons

Eye am not nearly as optimistic in regards to PG Ben. It kind of worked better than expected last year, (playing a bunch of crappy teams to end the year may have skewed some expectations with Philly, we’ll see on that) but I have no doubt that no team is doing anything in the playoffs with a point that won’t shoot

Fire everyone involved with ABC and ESPN immediately. ******** decision

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Too early. He’s definitely not getting the same amount of touches as last season during the playoffs when he was pretty much the 1st/2nd option on offense

Great point. I feel like what he showcased in the playoffs last season, gets overlooked by some.

Tatum got the "glow" for his performance (and rightfully so) but Jaylen Brown went head to head with who some of ya'll call the "goat", and had some pretty damn memorable performances. If he doesn't play like he did...the Celtics get tossed early in the playoffs. It wasn't just Tatum...and it wasn't just some "system". He's pretty damn good and has a ****load of potential as well.

This year, he has to re-adjust his role, along with everyone else and that's why they're not looking so hot. Add in a dude coming back from a career altering injury..and that makes it tougher. Natural growing pains.

This is old news. ESPN probably didn't want to use "Roundball Rock" because it's heavily associated with NBC and they were trying to establish their own brand of NBA programming.

Ahh gotcha. That makes sense, they are way too predictable. If fultz or anyone else they get can be a shooter and secondary creator, Simmons running point guard would work out just fine

 

[williamontana]

Another one of those Hart breakaway dunks

Kuz and Bron got to start

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Are they gon give Jalen Rose credit for "Lance'll make 'em dance"?.

Would like them to find a way to get rid of MAGA PG in general.
