THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[alchemist iq]

Pelicans I believe are 0-4 to start the season?

At this rate I feel like by the time Zion comes back, it won't matter. They'll already be out of the playoff picture

They were never in the playoff picture to begin with even with Zion.

Embiid is such a clown. Talks so much crap and acts like a tough guy - yet he’s hurt 40% of the time and cries like a little ***** when his team loses a playoff game.

I’ll take KAT on my team any day of the week. Younger, more talented, less injury-prone, all-around better player and not a wannabe tough guy.

 

[aepps20]

Which is all the more reason you have to know he wouldn’t have the guts to leave after a 3 peat. They were well on their way to one until Draymond put the mirror up to his face.

Too bad he didn't put a mirror up to his face. Dude had to go on a midseason weight loss program. KD is a beta. How do you let a glorified role player punk you?

 

[trynafeelmink]

Lebron stans been waiting years to bash the Warriors

My question then becomes if Steph just Lillard or Harden glorified, Draymond isn't an All Star.... why were ya'll whining so much about how unfair LBJ had it when he had two AS besides him & is the supposed GOAT?

Don't worry tho Bron Stans, AD is here to carry your hero to the sunset... just make sure ya'll boy carries his ******* weight

Myrie ruining the Nets but getting his buckets

Brooklyn Cavs...They should trade for D Waiters to make the cycle complete

 

[trynafeelmink]

Embiid Literally had KAT press him and put him in a chokehold..... and dude is still out here blabbering at the mouth. dude been in the playoffs one more time than KAT & made it one more round & he talking like he been dominating the league

Simmons Made Kat tap & went on about his business.

 

[trynafeelmink]

Have they announced how long Zion's out? Warriors def missing the playoffs i might throw some bread on the Lakers south making em

 

[frshstunna]

Bucks.. ain't it.

They strike me as a squad that had their absolute best last season, everything went right...They probly hit their ceiling with this squad and version of Giannis

Situation reminds me of that 60 win Hawks team in terms of results, same coach too

Yet KAT was the one who started it all but go ahead and believe that

Lamelo on GS? Watching Lavar criticize Wardell and Draymond...I think I wouldn't mind that at all.

I would be ALL in on that, having Lavar at the new stadium giving sound bytes all day.

I disagree.

His true coaching ability will NOT show now because he has NO TALENT ON HIS ROSTER.

There is this idea that a good coach can turn bad teams into respectable teams.

Nah, that is Pipe Dream madness. If your team has no talent, your team will suffer. That is on any level.

I am not saying Kerr is a good/poor Coach, I am making a general statement.

So good coaches can only coach when they have great players. If that is the case what happened with Boston they did X with Kyrie and Hayward out. Yet when they were back they did Y. What do coaches even do anymore because I am confused?

[DCAllAfrican]

A coach is at the mercy of the talent on his squad.

That isn't to say there haven't been specific instances of players being motivated by their situations/teammates/coaches that has caused them to play ABOVE their perceived levels.

But for the vast majority of time, TALENT is what puts a coach in a position to have a winning season.

Also, with coaches, the public only focuses in wins and losses. If GSW loses 54 games, the consensus would be, "Kerr isn't really a good coach." But the game and the outcome of the game is only a FRACTION of what should be used to determine someone's coaching ability.

In short, I am simply saying there is no fair/accurate way to judge Steve Kerr's coaching ability, in the way that the public judges coaches, while he has THIS squad. They are going to lose and they are going to lose A LOT.

They said 6-8 weeks from surgery date

I don't remember when he was operated on

Also pelicans is one of two teams in the nba still without a win. Unless they get it together asap they are disappearing from playoff picture fast.

 

[pmatic]

Skip a fool

Balmer and Kawhi paying off the media, AGAIN.

For shame.

 

[titang545]

KD got the falsies in? Boy out here looking like Mr. Ed

Someone say falsies or nah.

Skip a fool

Skip I do ride with that dude on basketball. Dude is hilarious, can't rock with those New Balance though. He still rocking the Nike socks though.

We can absolutely judge them getting mollywhopped in 3 outta 4 games giving up a billion points per with 3 all stars. I've said it before. Puke Walton (we see how trash of a coach he is) went 39-4 with GS. Mike Brown was undefeated in the playoffs with GS. Outside of Steph getting hurt which is bad for the league, this lets Kerr and that whole organization off the hook for the inevitable train wreck that was coming regardless.

 

[56250]

Can't believe my Phoenix Suns are playing so well! They will make the 8th spot!
Especially after tonight, the Warriors are officially out of reaching any of the bottom playoffs seeds as I predicted before the season! Finally it has become super interesting again from day of the season!

So you are just going to ignore that the team has a large number of borderline NBA talents on their roster?

Does that not play into the equation before we simply write someone off as being a below average coach?

Yes.

 

[wavycrocket]

HIM BIG LEEMELONE

Sure. Pretend like a very wild set of circumstances and unforeseen injury bug did not prevent the warriors from 3peating. Also pretend like the media wasn’t licking their chops to “split up the warriors” .

Cool
