The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

[Tony $now]

Still insane that AD isn’t gonna make an All NBA team meanwhile a guy the Warriors literally just left open all game will

Already planting the seeds for the excuses. Klutch group doing nasty work already. #fear

Sportsmanship is overrated

 

[B Sox]

Everyone hyping up Steph vs Lebron round 5 but Anthony Davis will be the best player in the series.

I dunno about all that

Definitely a LEGACY SERIES for him more so than anyone else though.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Can't wait to lose in heartbreaking fashion to Kristaps Porzingis and 7 of his childhood best friends.

 

[ill steelo]

double agent

Not even the first time in this series

He’s the same mentally at 30 that he was at 23. Some guys just never develop IT.

He’s gotta go

I feel pretty good about the Lakers defending the Warriors (well sans Curry).

Lakers just gotta dominate the paint, possession game (fouls, offensive rebounds, limit their own turnovers) and hit enough threes.

I had questions about Poole going into that game & he answered NONE of them Their offense just isn’t special if only 3 guys are making shots. If Steph is going to get up literally 40 shots every single night then then that absolutely changes things but we’ve only seen ‘93 Jordan do that

the Lakers are far from unbeatable but the larger point is Golden State doesn’t have the firepower to consistently run away from them. So every game is going to be tight against one of the greatest decision makers of all time.

Mix in those trademark lazy passes and 1 or 2 off nights from Steph & you have yourself an extremely tough series.

All in the playoffs - Dont sleep on his toughness

He may just give it a go

 

[nick.]

When was he listed as out and played? Is that even legal?

 

[addict4sneakers]

Can’t wait for those lebron/Rui minutes. Should be a layup line for Steph

[MVP]

Hopefully Ham learned his lesson and doesn't run that **** anymore. Gabriel and Bamba should get run this series.

 

[B Sox]

ill steelo do we think it’s too early to re-discuss THE trade. Or do we just chalk it up to a bad matchup?

 

[addict4sneakers]

This was so long ago, Tristan Thompson was on the court.

 

[lynchpin33]

Had to make sure that here wasn’t a game last night. Thread added several pages, for a series that hasn’t started yet. If it’s like this already, I’m going to quote Jim Gordon in the Dark Knight when Batman wanted to go after the mobs life savings, concerning this thread.

Things will get ugly.

 

[B Sox]

Hopefully Ham learned his lesson and doesn't run that **** anymore. Gabriel and Bamba should get run this series.

Why the hell would Bamba play this series? Undisciplined team defender playing against a well oiled machine that will take his shot blocking out of the picture, and he can’t punish GSW for being small on the other end.

 

[WASHED KING]

AD will make Looney unplayable if he shows up.

Like he did Tillman?

 

[pmatic]

Bamba in space is toast. At least Wenyen can switch some, crash the boards.

 

[trynafeelmink]

Can’t wait for those lebron/Rui minutes. Should be a layup line for Steph

Those are gonna come against A mighty GS frontline of Dray/Wiggins

Bron/Rui/Austin will easily match whatever in the paint....

 

[WASHED KING]

Lakers have more than 2 guys that can get their own shot and create unlike Sacramento and more bodies that are playable.

Golden State supporting cast plays like that again and this is over in 5.

 

[king j]

Like he did Tillman?

How did Tillman & Triple J look in game 6?

 

[trynafeelmink]

It's Time!!

 

[WASHED KING]

How did Tillman & Triple J look in game 6?

GS really hanging their hopes on........

Kevon LOONEY?

This the Looney GS fans seem to think made it to the NBA

GS really hanging their hopes on........

Kevon LOONEY?

If the refs call this series the right way Looney gon be on the bench in foul trouble dude is a hack.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Those are gonna come against A mighty GS frontline of Dray/Wiggins

Bron/Rui/Austin will easily match whatever in the paint....

Pretty sure the series was decided by the AD minutes
