THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[vood99]

A few notes on the TOR-LAL game:

I know there was some people on here hoping they’d be able to fire off some hot takes about Siakm being “exposed” by the Lakers when he got off to a slow start in the 1st quarter; glad they waited to see how the rest of the game played out...

Lebbers got the trip-dub, but was looking more his age this game. Think he may have had 3 shots blocked close to the rim...

When did Marc Gasol become scared to shoot? Was only 1-2 last night and didn’t even look at the hoop on a lot of their offensive plays. Weird...

If the Raptors’ program can resurrect Stanley Johnson’s career, they’re miracle workers...

lawdog1 Marc Gasol been hesitant to shoot damn near all of the Raptor's post season championship run and now this season. Kinda mind boggling as he sets up at the perimeter but refuses to take shots. Not sure if it's a mental issue at this point.

Marc still trying to flush all the toxins outta his body from partying all summer.

Crazy how OKC wanted Siakam,Vanvleet + 4 1sts for PG over the summer for Toronto to try to keep Kawhi.

Siakam on his own is probably gonna end up being more valuable than PG by the end of the season ,man is still only 25 with a high *** ceiling and zero injury history

Nah my G MVP the man was passing up wide open shots like crazy during the post season run. Was infuriating to watch as it made some of those games needlessly harder.

Where Masai finding these dudes

Best GM in the league and it's not close,an argument could be made that he's been the best since his Denver days too after keeping them competitive in the west after getting rid of Melo

Yea Pascal the real deal holyfield. He was sauteeing Kuz last night. 7-7 w/ 18 pts but was 0-7 against AD. TOR would have repeated if Kiwi stayed.

Yeah watched part of the game and Pascal is legit but when AD was guarding him he was having a very difficult time.

Kawai at the very least should've run out his contract and defended the title with us. He better hope PG ready to play, else he's going to have to work 110% in the playoffs.

AD (sans injuries) is the better player my G and I'm from Toronto.

Pssh...load management

Going to keep harping on it but if he leaves cause ownership was being cheap maaaan...

Healthy AD is arguably top 5 in the league with elite defense so not surprised. The impact he still had on the game regardless was impressive

Marc been like this. It’s frustrating to watch.

Paschall a bucket. Warriors lucked up again.

He the 2nd coming of Tyreke Evans.

Most def not top 5. Didn't lead the pelicans anywhere. Dame has done more with the same type of roster.

Pssh...load management

Ehh, MJ retired twice and took off multiple years for his own “load management.” With the expansion of the league’s popularity internationally, players are spending more of their off season doing **** abroad for the league and their sponsors and playing random preseason games in China.. iirc they weren’t doing this in the 90s. MJ needs to get off his high horse

 

[freeze]

I hope this Bron last season.

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

Stanley Johnson..yikes.

I remember when D Fly said he was going to be an all-star for years to come

[ballinsam23]

Pascal is legit.

I feel like most NBA players who started playing at a later age are.

 

[Nipsey3000]

Dude gets butthurt whenever someone mentions the clippers and goes on tangents about Laker fans but legit never shuts up about the Lakers. You don't have to cape for him, he's grown

That's my clipper nation brother for sure. But def not cape-ing for him.

You and other Lakers fans in here mention the Clippers almost as much as you mention the Lakers.

Sometimes I think y'all prefer to see the Clippers lose than the Lakers win.
