::::NBA:::: 2016-2017-2018 Season

I really don't like disliking the Rockets. In the 90s, they were my second favorite team behind the Knicks. Loved Hakeem. But that was a long time ago. The combination of Harden + Paul + Spamming 3's = I hate them.

 

What? You don't like watching players kick out their own legs while shooting 3's, 15 times a game?????


.......and yeah......Hakeem, Drexler, Sleepy Floyd, Kenny Smith, Otis Thorpe and even Ralph Sampson (who I had no fucking idea was in the HOF until just now), were a fun team to watch back in the day.

 

This is gonna be the year that we see that Lebron is too old to carry a team within a Robin.

 

is phonetap in the minority in thinking Ben Simmons is a better player and has a larger upside than Lonzo Ball?

 

simmons is a tremendous prospect. i expect him to be one of the elite players in the league very soon. jayson tatum has a lot more upside than ball as well

i also said before the draft that markkanen was one of the top players in the draft. wish minnesota would have kept him

 

Ball ain't shit.

 

Hell no you ain’t no minority. Everyone already knows that Simmons not only has the rookie of the year all sewn up but that Lonzo is not living up to expectations at all.

I think Lonzo is a certified bust who seems lost on offense, lacks aggression and flat out doesn’t seem to want the ball. The lack of a jumper is the least of his problems.

 

Durant is a beta

 

Lonzo's 19 Bruh, Playing THE Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepest Position in the Entire League...

On Top of That, His Daddy's Mouf INSURED Lonzo WOULDN'T Catch Any Starting PG's Slipping...Primarily, He'll Get Their BEST Shot and The Glare Under the Microscope is Intense, Playing a Spot MOST Require a Year or 3 to ESTABLISH Themselves @...

GOOD PG's That are Grown Ass Men are Looking to Make a STATEMENT @ Lonzo's Acne Having, Skinny Jean Wearing, 19 Year Old Expense...

Dude's GOT to Work Out the Mechanics of his Shot...Like Charles Barkley and Others Have Noted, a Right Handed Shooter RELEASING from the Left Side of his Body is EASIER to Defend...Sloooooooooows Down the Release, Giving a Beaten Defender Time to Recover...Just STAY On his Left Hand and Lonzo's in Trouble...

As Lonzo's Tweaking His Shot, he Needs to Make PENETRATING a Priority...His TRUE Gift is as a Playmaker/Facilitator Though, Which he's Shown Glimpses of...

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay Toooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Early to Make ANY Definitive Statements on HOW his Career Plays Out...That Being Said, Lonzo NEVER Had Ben Simmons' Ceiling, to Answer Brother TAP's Question...

Hes lookin solid thus far

 

How's the clips lookin?

Good game from westbrook and the thunder. I don't think they will win more than 1 in a 4 game playoff series vs golden state but the matchup of durant and George is very interesting. George is one of the few guys who can matchup with him size, skill and athleticism wise defensively

 

If Durant decided not to play on his bad ankle, Curry would have gone off for 50 and won the game

 

DJ for Canadian Thompson being discussed

 

I went to an NBA game for the first time today... Nets vs Blazers... it was actually an exciting game... Nets choked it away, up by 5 with very little time left and they were chucking 3 point bricks up there, idiotic... my brother in law is from Oregon so he was happy

I don't know who any of the players are on these teams but I enjoyed it

What was weird was they had this young woman who was like a host or something and before the game and during every timeout or commercial she'd get up and say a bunch of shit to the crowd and bring out dancers, dudes doing flips and breakdancing, even some lady they blindfolded and had shoot backwards free throws and then some guy came out and proposed to her... does every basketball team do this??

 

Yes

 

It's the Mark CUBANization of the NBA...

There's Literally NO Dead Time @ NBA Games Anymore...Every Second is Filled w/SOMETHING, Literally...Shirtless Fat Guys Doing Dance Routines, Circus Performers, Dudes w/T-Shirt "Guns", Firing Merchandise to the Nose Bleed Section, Kiss Cams, Goofy Videos and of Course, Perpetually LOUD ASS MUSIC!!!...

Clearly, the League Caters to Children, Millennials and Attention Deficit Adults These Days...REED's All for a Festive Environment, but a BIT a Moderation Wouldn't Hurt...

If Someone GAVE REED Free Season Tickets (41 Home Games), FREE Parking, Gas Money and a PROMISE Traffic Would Never Be an Issue, REED Still Wouldn't Attend Anymore than 15-20 Games a Season, Due to All the Peripheral Bullshit...And Hoop is REED's 2nd Favorite Sport, CLOSELY Following Boxing...

When You Leave a Game, You Can BARELY Hear and There's a Sense of FATIGUE from All of Your Senses Being OVER Worked Throughout the Game...

Durant tossed again, and Curry tore his ankle

 

LOL at Twigboy getting into it with Boogie Cousins. Cousins would ruin him.

 

That's exactly how I felt! I just want to watch the damned game

 

Goddamn purist

 

Girl was cute though, I'll give her that

 

cdogg strikes me as a TYPIST

This was supposed to be a really fun OKC season, instead it has been the complete opposite and last seaon’s “The Russel Westbrook Show” was much more fun. I can’t even tell what the problem is other than they’re missing too many shots. Russ is playing terribly, PG13 looks overrated and Anthony looks old and disinterested. To make matters worse, in typical OKC fashion pretty much every player we traded looks twice as good on their new team.

Even in some of the wins, we play so bad and ugly it’s not even fun or fulfilling. People keep saying it takes time so I hope they turn the corner soon because I’m not sure I can keep watching this horrible display of basketball.

 

There are plenty of teams that are far more interesting to watch than okc

Boston
Minnesota
Philadephia
Golden state
Milwaukee
Houston

Now paul george is over rated

Perhaps it's the common denominator holding these fellas back from flourishing. How's oladipo doing now he escaped?

 

Yeah but OKC is my team. I do occasionally like to watch the Lakers and 76ers too.

Yeah I always thought PG13 was a bit overrated and I always thought Butler was better than him. The only reason PG is a great player is because of his superb defense. Just going off of his offense I don’t think he’d be an allstar.

And yeah Oladipo has been killing it. He learned a lot from how Westbrook carries himself and works out and Dipo came into this season in the best shape of his career.

 

As a timberwolf fan id much rather have george than butler
