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

[friscostylez]

Dame is that pretty girl with a bomb body but who is dumb as hell with a dry personality.

 

[HIM]

My thing with steph is he was carried in the finals by a man who did not start a single game during the regular season. Just doesn't have the heart imo.

CP3 couldn't advance out of the second round with 2 other all-nba talents, former COY, who won a ring as a coach, and former two time winning sixth man of the year with a 3-1 lead against a team that was missing key players. What does lil Chris have?

Chris Paul sucks though. I thought we were all on the same page regarding that. Look at you

 

[wavycrocket]

NT with the groupthink hate for Dame. It's to be expected.

I'm not ready to put Conley in the top 5 PG discussion yet....

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Man before the season started and up until the ASG NT was riding Dame.
He had just sprung Houston in the 14' Playoffs.


He wrote that AllStar letter, the jokes started, Russ cooked him, the jokes became real.

NT falls can start with a joke and the rest is quick fast and in a hurry.

Nt was on dame hard the year they knocked the rockets out

 

[Chester McFloppy]

PG discussions on NT

These always go well

@ Conley being top anything

@ CP0 being near the top of anyone's list

 

[Quincy McCall]

I wanted Dame to have it all

Y'all learn once he takes Portland to the 'offs !

 

[HIM]

I tried to tell you guys Dame was an overrated chucker years ago. A lot of people were excited because he clapped and asked for the ball against Houston.

People used to get so bent out of shape when I spoke negatively about him

You've also said loads of dumb **** like

Steph Curry averaged 24, 8, and 4 during the regular season when he won MVP.
Steph Curry averaged 26, 6 and 5 during the finals.

'Carried'


So you're generally ignored by the majority of NT.

 

[a-friend]

He was a top 3-5 PG at that time.
By 60-80% of the thread.

He was averaging like 4.1119344389 assist too and dudes were like "he da most clutchest doe"

If only he could average double digit assists like Chris Paul.

Then his All-Star jacket could look like this:

Why?

If you're looking for him to put up big time numbers when he has the lowest usage rate among the top PG's on the list, I don't know what to say. He's also on a team with one of the slowest paces in the NBA and doesn't have the luxury of playing in a offense that's not dedicated to scoring points in the paint via post ups. Oh, and he's possibly playing with the weakest starting offensive wing in the NBA in Tony Allen and a journey man SG in Courtney Lee. If he doesn't play hurt for about half of the season, he probably remains in the top 5-6 in RPM amongst PG's just like 2013-14.

He's doing more with a lot less. Do I think he's better than Curry, Westbrook, Paul and possibly Wall? No. Its hard to argue that. But, the likes of Lillard, Irving or other PG's who only play one side of the ball and struggle to run their own team (which is what I thought a PG was suppose to do)? Yes. I love Kyrie's game, but we saw what type of offense he's capable of running and the leader he is when Lebron isn't out there. There is a reason why people think he's a SG in a PG body. We also saw Dame get his ******* ripped open by not only Conley before getting injured, but the Grizz backup PG as well in the playoffs.

Report: NBA Not Planning to Change Free Agency Moratorium
1 day ago

The NBA free agency period’s biggest potential problem came to fruition last week when DeAndre Jordan reneged on a commitment to the Dallas Mavericks and returned to the Los Angeles Clippers.

Once July 1 arrives, free agents are officially permitted to seek a contract and discuss terms. However, even if a verbal agreement is reached, no player can sign a new deal until the moratorium period—typically a little over a week—ends.

Yet the Jordan fiasco on July 8 wasn’t enough to shorten or eliminate the moratorium.

According to ESPN’s Kevin Arnovitz, NBA commissioner Adam Silver said discussions to tweak the current system were not fruitful:

“Nobody had a great idea, frankly, in terms of how to change it. I think there was some discussion about whether the moratorium potentially should be a bit shorter. But as I’ve said the other day, it’s an imperfect system. And we still think we’re striking the right balance between teams having the opportunity to talk to players when they become free agents and creating certainty at some point when contracts are entered into.”

It’s an unfortunate the NBA couldn’t find an adjustment, though admittedly, Jordan’s type of situation rarely occurs. Nearly every player honors his verbal pledge.

That’s not a shot at Jordan, who was perfectly within his rights to back out before any contract was official. It’s simply disappointing.

The league should continue to engage in conversations about the moratorium. Otherwise, next summer, the NBA might face similar problems when free agents must wait until July 12.

Dame is getting a little underrated here. I'm not saying he's better than Conley, but they really aren't that far apart.

I mean yes, Conley is a plus defender on winning teams and a capable option...production does matter a bit though. And ability to create as well. I'm not a Kyrie fan, but I'll take him over Conley right now.

When I think of Mike Conley, I think of a Jeff Teague like star. Almost there. It's really splitting hairs...I just don't see him as a top 5 pg.

 

[friscostylez]

What team does erupt root for?

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

conley top 5? delusional grizzlies fan(s) at it again

 

[lawdog1]

Pierce was just staring out of intellectual curiousity. That's all that was ... I hope...

 

[Lovetohate3000]

Conley Is vanilla ice cream.not top 5
Such a bland point guard . Jeff Teague type player is correct.
