**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[everysingletime]

Rule changes will expose those who can't play defense with their feet, that's all. Some will adjust, some won't.

Yup

kingfoamnyc this is what I was alluding to.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Sexton has been bad enough for the vets to be talking to the media about.

Everyone on the team is playing like trash.

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Yup

kingfoamnyc this is what I was alluding to.

Got it. That's a good way of putting it but I'm still not a fan of making it harder for defenders and everything easier for the offensive player. Gotta be a middle ground

 

[wavycrocket]

Nuggets should be undefeated smh.

There's so many good, young players in the league man. Seems like every team has a few guys to be excited about.

At times it don't even matter if you play great defense when all the offensive player has to do is dive into you when they're shooting and you get called for a foul.

So much talent in the league. Only 2 Western teams that for sure have no shot at the playoffs. East not so much, but still

 

[blastercombo]

The twolves and the wizards are gonna make the playoffs

Maybe not for the wizards

The refs enforcing these new rule changes do says something about refs from previous eras though.

Players who played their whole careers grabbing and holding players who was moving without the ball thought they was being slick. No they weren't. The refs saw what was going on but just chose not to make the call

 

[Arthur Shelby]

How bout the “young boul” Sexton huh? . Barbershop favorite. He scowled, he’s tough.

Yeah ard!!! Tra3Way bish

LOL @ JR firing those shots.

I didn't think Sexton was good at Bama. He can't shoot and turns it over a lot. That's disastrous for a PG in today's league.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Stats regarding Giannis’ lack of a jump shot don’t matter.

He’s so unique

He’s going to have to be Kemba walker levels of scoring to make up for that lack of vision

 

[Sonny Corinthos]

The Wizards fans hate Kelly Olynyk

Yep.

He's not a non-shooter & can get to the rim in 3 steps any time he wants.

 

[Quincy McCall]

Don't want Jimmy that bad, Thibbs can keep him for their asking price

 

[B Sox]

He hasn't shot well, but he hasn't been a flat out bum. Maybe he and Book would get along fine because of the UK connection. He'd be great for Ayton.

 

[freddy fig]

So....if you’re not good enough on defense, you can’t play?

I see all the good defenders doing just fine. Klay Thompson had Devin Booker bottled up the other night. Forced that man into 9TOs and multiple jump balls. We just saw embiid literally BULLY Drummond . Even online bullied him to ad extra to it.

Skill gap increase. Love it.

this man knows his bball..terminlogy always on point

 

[HIM]

Not my "that guy"
addict4sneakers get your wily vet

 

[B Sox]

Giannis is great, but his non-shooting is going to give the Bucks a ceiling.
