[Beta]

Oh yeah I forgot JR smacked the shit outta crowder and ended his season

Now they teammates

Ty Lue doesn't have the gall to make the right adjustments, he just sits there with his mouth open like a puppet, Bron left Wade 4 years ago because he knew he was done now 4 years later after the Heat moved on and the Bulls paid to not have him be there that's the guy that's supposed to make any type of impact? Lol ok the rest of the team is going to be in the back watching those two goofballs like this

There's no togetherness with that team it's just a bunch of names put together that don't even fit, and I know the NBA wants something new and fresh after a horrible rated playoffs, Celtics have the star power now if that Cavs team goes to the finals it will be horrible for the NBA everyone wanted the trilogy after a great finals the year before but nobody wants to see that shit again, you're not getting biased officiating in that Celtics/Cavs series, Celtics are coming out the east

@"af.r.i.c.a." What's your thoughts on Zion Williamson?

Potential generational talent. Calling him a a freak athlete would be a slight to him.I fear it could end up ultimately being his undoing. He gets beat up a lot but he's just so strong and powerful that he brushes off contact but that shit adds up and takes a toll.

For a guy as gifted as he is the most impressive quality he possesses is his high motor and killer instinct. He's rarely ever coasting always attacking always looking to dominate his opponents. Super physical and active on both ends. The jumper is still a question mark and he doesn't really make his team mates better but that should come in time. Hard to come up with a proper comp for him. I've seen Bron(not nearly as skilled) bigger Barkley Jabari ect but he's so just so unique. Bagley was his only real competition for the top pick in 2019 but now that he's out the way Zion will be a no brainer for the first pick. Honestly he might be pro ready right now.

Rj Barrett is more skilled and just as athletic he's going #1.Zion is way bigger than everybody he plays, he can't shoot for nothin and bullies most his comp.6'7 lance stephenson that's who he plays like

Langford,reddish and Barrett are more impressive prospects than williamson imo(zion has hype helping him)

i always considered him a smaller julius randle. he won't be great in the league

Preseason starts tonight, Denver Golden State and Minnesota LA

Apparently the Nuggets still haven't decided whose going to be the starting point guards between Jamal Murray and Mudiay

Trey Lyles has been impressing people in the organization and the Nuggets want him to get the back up power forward minutes instead of Faried which adds a little more context to that quote @beta posted

Murray should win that PG battle...mudiay about to be back in uganda in a few years

Lyles can actually hit shots and is younger and more versatile than faried

Plus I think the ghost of darrell arthur is still there...they good

I remember wishing the Knicks take Mudiay with the 4th pick when rumors came out that the Knicks was gonna take KP with the pick.

Man im glad they aint do that.

In my defense though, im a fan of a team that does nothing right, so I had no faith in their decisions.

I feel for Faried, plus hes from Newark so I'll always root for him to do good and make as much money as possible, but its only so much you could do as just a high energy player.

He should be happy that he got that contract with the Nuggets in the first place. Not saying that hes gonna be out of the league cause hes good enough to be on the bench for any team, but hes probably never getting a contract as big as his current one.

Yo I really hope this site still here the end of the season..I'm not taking my foot off y'all necks

 

[AZTG]

Celtics

Cavs

Wizards

Raptors

Bucks

Hornets

Sixers

Heat/Knicks

Top 2 I think is cemented, I woulda had Cavs at 1 if IT wasnt gonna be injured half the season, 3-5 is a toss up. Im pretty confident at Wizards at 3 but the Raptors and the Bucks could switch that 4 and 5 spot easy. 6-8 is a gamble.

Yes. Yes they are. I'm tired of y'all overlooking cohesiveness and chemistry with multiple fringe all star players and versatile multi positional players with great defense and depth at each position

Let another nigga say the heat gonna be a 6 or less seed and I'm jumping across this table

You have us tied with the KNICKS

RESPECT US
