OFFICIAL NBA 2017-2018 Off-Season Thread

[Moheezy]

Big game for the Spurs tonight against the Raptors who have been destroying people.

Second in the league in Net Rating, splitting hairs for third in the league in pace, third in free throw rate (at an out of this world number), and fourth in three point attempt rate while (not shooting it well though) and second in TS%.

Small sample size but the Raptors are figuring out how to run offense in 2017 it looks like. Store brand Kobe still getting to the line like crazy.

Wouldn't be surprised if the Spurs lost.

Raptors built enough chemistry in the last 5 years to start the season strong. I wouldn't put too much weight in wins against the baby bulls and Embiidless Sixers. Today's game should be their first test.

Bledsoe definitely getting fined for that.

Bledsoe should have been traded two season's ago I am sure he will gladly pay the fine if it will get him out of there

It's also easier to trade him now since other teams will try to lowball knowing he wants out. More teams will make a run for him.

I don't have high expectations, I think they're a weird fit. Some might feel differently though.

5-6 seed seems to be somewhat of a consensus. Could see them being worse potentially.

I enjoy watching Lonzo play but I realllllly wish Lavar Ball would never have started talking, the BBB brand never existed and that he could have just been a father that let his son's game do the talking. DSJ, Fox and Tatum are going to be great and I don't even know what the hell their parents look like, yet I know the exact amount of PPG that Lonzo's dad averaged in college because this idiot can't let himself fall back and let his son be the star.

he's trying to build a build and change history. nothing wrong with that. nothing wrong with taking advantage of the opportunities.
Lavar's "mouth" has helped/benefited Lonzo in some ways too.
you don't know what the parents look like cause you aren't looking.
don't blame ya laziness on Lavar.

New Fanatics code "20FAN" now works on the Nike stuff....

 

[flyerthandelta]

Roberson is super trash like do you even practice?!?

 

[Quincy McCall]

Pistons or Mil should get on the Bledsoe wave, maybe Den but eh

 

[addict4sneakers]

I kind of like Bledsoe in Milwaukee


Speaking of, Thon looks like the same guy he was last year.

Yeah, no.

I don't give a flying **** what any athlete's parents look like. You sound like you've watched one too many Lavar Ball interviews.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Rather have guys like brogdon and delly to complement Greek. Blue collar dudes who don't need the ball at all and who can probably spot up much better than bled. Stats on that ?

 

[B Sox]

Bucks need knockdown shooters. Don't think Bledsoe really fits the bill...

[addict4sneakers]

But the problem is, if Middleton is off that means LeGiannis has to create everything for the team

Bledsoe might not be the answer but they need another playmaker

i feel that way about butler on this team, at least on offense. why is he taking as many shots as karl?

Naw man, there was a brief discussion about it last night then the games started and the topic changed.

Yeah, no.

and you sound like a hater that don't want to see the next man flourish

" I realllllly wish the BBB brand never existed"... people can only succeed under your standards? or only if it's ok with you? FOH

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Let embiid's pops startup a company tho . Joel has done way more talking via Twitter than even lavar's mouth. Wish he'd just let his game speak for him..
