Don't know which deal was worse trading oladipo + sabonis for ibaka(turned into Terrance ross and future two second round picks) or moving Tobias for Brandon Jennings and Illyasova. Don't mind them being moved but Hennigan definitely got finessed and signing Biyombo to a 4 year 70 million dollar deal was his parting kick in the nuts. Could have had Noel for a fraction of the cost. He Refused to flip Vuc + Evan for Cousins. Hell we could have even made a play for Butler while keeping a strong core intact. Henny really fucked us man

ehh bigger name same results, what’s a Boogie/AG/Elf trio doing much different than Sacramento? Toronto should have traded for Boogie if it was ever possible

Oladipo would be on the team as well and Boogie would be playing in the East. We would definitely be a playoff team.

What year was this 2015?

They playing White Iverson in the arena when TJ McConnell scores

I dont know how to feel about this

Lmfao yo you fucking lying im in tears right now

 

[Mister B.]

Dario must read these boards. No softness tonight outta him.

Big boy moves frequently from him. Keep that shit up.

Is it too early to say that the Pistons are a top 4 team in the east? Celtics, Cavs, Raptors, Pistons?

Or do yall think they just had a hot start and they'll come back down?

I watched a few of their games and they play good team ball. Im still not a huge fan of Reggie Jackson but from the games I watched so far it looks like hes not dribbling the air out the ball anymore and is playing his role instead of trying to take over every game. And Drummond looks like he really took a step forward defensively too.

Admittedly, I didnt watch enough games to say if they are real or not.

Welp may have been too early

That nigga Jae Crowder be missing wide open shots. Layups and threes. smh Cavs need to give Jeff Green them minutes imo.

The first quarter of this Knicks Clippers is legit the worst quarter of basketball ive seen this season. Score is 20-18, both teams got 8 turnovers, Clippers shooting 41% and Knicks shooting 35%

 

[Mister B.]

Big boy moves from everyone tonight.

I'm with this. Fuck all them damn threes. Just muscle a muhfucker for a while.

Sixers learned from the Eagle running game last night.

Even if Simmons never develops a reliable jumper he will be an elite player

Cant nobody stop him from getting to the rim. Even when contested hes really good at finishing in the zone with both hands

 

[TheBossman]

lol at embiid

 

[Mister B.]

Joel out there trolling. LOL.

 

[Nah Son]

Donovan Mitchell the latest name on Embiids trolling list. Kid is a good player tho

I'm not one to make wild claims but hes already an elite player to me. Hes a rookie so there might be a drop off but if he plays like this the whole season, hes an elite player to me. Its not just the numbers, hes adding wins to the record. Dudes a walking miss match, no team got anyone for him.

But with that said, the jumper will make him a generational player.

 

[Mister B.]

Good bounce back win. Answered every Jazz run with toughness. I want THAT consistency.

 

[iron man1]

This guy Blake really threw in the towel

 

[R.D.]

Philly going struggle next year when JJ walks

Struggle might even be too strong but they won't take the next step like a lot of talking heads gon expect

They did give the nigga 23 mil...maybe he'll reward them and finish there

 

[BDBIID]

I hope Doc Rivers never gets a coaching gig again.

Bum

Time to break out the master P gifs

went from 6-2 to 8-9 quick

OKC's offense is disgusting

 

[O.G.]

I have noticed this about Simmons. He learns quickly and plays better when playing teams a second time.

against Rockets 1st game

14 points

2nd game 24 points

against Warriors 1st game 13 points

2nd game 23 points

against Jazz 1st game 16 points

2nd game 27 points

(Paul didn't play for Rockets second game and Gobert didn't play second game for Jazz tho)

Regardless it's nice to see a rookie adjust and improve.

Graham Cracka Excellence B)
