THE 2015 NBA PRE SEASON THREAD: BEST WISHES TO LAMAR ODOM

[abubakr shaheed]

watching 06 nba finals on NBA tv

the calls d wade got :x forgot how bad it was

nice to see white chocolate and zo on the court

 

[friscostylez]

We got 6 point guards now..

And every one of them is on that borderline NBDL steez but hey if we were gonna go after those types I'm cool with them being Kendall Marshall, Pierre Jackson, Wilbekin, Ish Smith, Canaan and TJ McConnell.

So they have a fetish for centers AND points guard??

 

[ill steelo]

Forgot how badly Dallas got outplayed in game 6. At home, only Down 3, 11 mins left, Shaq w/ 5 fouls already so he's not even on the floor. game was even tied at 6 mins left

They had completely dominated Miami in their 2 regular season matchups & the first 2 games in this series. So they were 4-0 against them at one point. Crazy how they just fell apart.

Also forgot how great Zo was man. Spectacular rim protector off the bench. High level role player.

Plus Marshall is recovering from a serious injury (ACL). Seems like the perfect Sixers candidate.

In what world would Tim Duncan be "cheaper" than Charles Barkley or Karl Malone?

What fool designed this

 

[mister friendly]

Also no Jason Kidd or Steve Nash.

 

[darthska]

Reposting.

Magic ($5)
Kobe ($4)
Pippen ($1)
Duncan ($3)
Shaq ($2)

This team would in it all, though, with $1 left for a bench player:

Magic ($5)
Jordan ($5)
Pippen ($1)
Garnett ($1)
Shaq ($2)

Actually, no, THIS team would win it all:

Magic ($5)
Jordan ($5)
Pippen ($1)
Duncan ($3)
Hakeem ($1)

4 FMVPs & Pippen

As great an offensive player KD is do ppl really think he's better than pippen?

 

[mister friendly]

Yeah because you really cant quantify defense unless its rim protection.

It's 74 degrees right now and I have the heat in my car on. I don't like the cold..

Son, 74 degrees is cold to you?

Bahamians in general don't like the cold (I personally love it) but 74 degrees is ideal weather here given how the climate is year round.

I thought my fellow Caribbean would understand me man. I didn't see a winter until seven years old. I wasn't born for this.

My background comes from tropical weather too. Still not seeing how 74 degrees is cold. You live in NJ too, right? Your life must be torture Lmao

I only took him because I thought I had to use the entire $15 lol

But Im not sure why you think its foolish for people to think KD is better than No Tippin' Pippen.

Mavs were big time chokers. Who will forget the next year when they were a 60+ win team with the league's MVP and they got bounced IN THE FIRST ROUND. Imagine the flak Kobe, lebron, KD, or Curry would've gotten if they got bounced their MVP year, but surprisingly, Dirk is immune to the criticism. Even back then, there wasn't too much outcry. He should've been stripped of the MVP tbh.

dirk was clowned by many, its not till 11 when he won the ring that it stopped. 

 

[addict4sneakers]

Dirk's playoff averages of 26 and 10 which is only shared by Hakeem and KAJ made him clown proof. He never had the supporting cast the rest of the all time greats had.

Of course he had bad games, but everyone does.

Not sure if serious. Dirk was clowned by many until he won his ring. He still clowned by some for taking less than max and going through the nonsense that he's facing right now.

 

[addict4sneakers]

I wouldn't have personally took a discount that deep but he's still made almost a quarter of a billion dollars playing.

 

[Lovetohate3000]

exactly. imagined how dirk would be looked at if 2011 never happen. he'd be just a little above chris paul status. 

 

[thirdtimearound]

Fun fact: Dirk has only had 3 deep playoff runs ('03, '06 and '11). Looks like those playoff averages didn't get him too far.
