OFFICIAL NBA 2017-2018 Off-Season Thread

[Mercurial]

Nah you got it twisted my guy. There’s always that group of lakers fans they get way into their feels win they win a game and suddenly “this team is on the verge of being great.” “We’re one star away” blah blah blah.

 

[noblekane]

rockets announcers tryna justify this loss by saying teams are gunning for the rockets now

nah ***** that goes for world champions like the warriors lol

people gun for the champs

so insecure

 

[Lizakers]

Not in my feels just hate it when fans make excuses instead of saying nice win it’s “we were undermanned”

Especially when we were as well.

 

[Mercurial]

You literally just said last page you were missing 2 starters. So that’s only valid for the lakers and not the rockets?

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Lakers gave yall the blueprint. Let harden get his and he'll give it all back on the other end. Got that annual W against Houston out the way early

Nah. Everybody wants to end someone's long winning streak

Only in response to your “we were undermanned” comment.

Oh well, rockets are better we all know that. Just give credit to a good young team getting a win

 

[noblekane]

damn didnt even know the streak was that long

Thats petty

 

[hardens beard]

Hope CP3 injury ain't to serious, on to the next one.

 

[Mercurial]

Your right congrats to the lakers on the W. I’m just stating why I feel the rockets lost. A healthy rockets team shouldn’t lose to this caliber lakers team is all I’m saying

 

[second2nonee]

glad to see Zo end up with another nice statline

shooting was trash tonight though

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

Didnt watch the game but by looking at the stats looked like kuz and brewer went off. Lmao at lakers take 13 more free throws but only finishing with two more than the rockets.

 

[hardens beard]

Why did Randle play only 8 minutes tonight?

 

[second2nonee]

Why did Randle play only 8 minutes tonight?

our run was made when brew was out, and randle in. so probably that. luke had the right rotation tonight to get the win IMO, even at the expense of randle

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Kuzma might be the franchise

 

[hardens beard]

Same thing AD and Booker had

 

[freddy fig]

Same thing AD and Booker had

something must be in da air

 

[B Sox]

The Clynyk did us dirty tonight

Marcus Morris is sorely missed right now on both ends of the floor. Jaylen and Tatum are the only healthy wings. Tough to have to rely on a 1st and 2nd year player this much.

 

[MVP]

Why did Randle play only 8 minutes tonight?

He was pretty bad defensively

 

[P C H]

quickest right to left in the L

 

[a-friend]

quickest right to left in the L

If he could finish he'd be so nasty.
And his release on his jumper is so telegraphed that he can't get it off in tight spaces.
He's so close to being elite, but he's missing those two things. HUGE things none-the-less but I'd like to see him find God nah-mean.

serious question famb, I agreed with what you said but if you were Austin himself, how would you even approach improving those two areas? i have always wondered about those players who are so close but yet so far away from being an AS, elite, etc and why they never get there.
