On the other side, let's talk about the Nuggets post-trade

[d.green]

This Nuggets team is DEEP.

 

[Smo-King Locs]

Explain to me how you give and the 1st and 2nd best players in the trade but they're a better team?

while u niggaz get aroused by big name super stars, ima focus on b-ball.... basketball is a team sport ya hoes get caught in the glitz n glamour , this shyt ain't no ssuperstar sport... look at how pathetic the Heats look, them niggaz is confused... they don't know if they wanna win ships r stack they stats...

as u can see the knicks took 20 steps back i won't be surprised if mike n donnie resign by the end of this season...

[one_manshow]

Afflalo is the man!

But imagine if AK47 actually finished that with a dunk it would be GOAT ending.

 

[trACE_evidence]

Miami would kill for one of those big men right now. They alright in that category pimpn. They just need one dominating scorer that plays defense and doesn't slow down the tempo of the game. They have the bench, big men, and role players.

I don't know if they need a "dominating scorer". We're used to seeing that, but people forget about teams like the Pistons of last decade who split scoring between Billups, Rip, and Prince without either one ever averaging more than 20 points a game.

The problem with these teams is psychological. So many of them "think" they have no chance since they don't have a "star" and in a league like the NBA where everybody is talented, the mental game is the most important. That Pistons team didn't give a fuck if their top scorers were not superstars and their best player was basically a journeyman (Billups). If Denver can capture that attitude - they might do some thangs.

Spurs had Tim Duncan and David in their championship years. I'll include them if they win this year. (long way to go)

you forgettin 07 where everybody chimed in.

 

[greenwood1921]

you forgettin 07 where everybody chimed in.

Tim averaged 20/11 and still demanded double teams from opposing defenses. The Pistons in the '00s never had a scorer that was really double-team-worthy.

Yea ur right. We'll see this season.

that team is gonna be a problem in the playoffs, i think they could upset any of the top teams besides the lakers, felton/lawson might be the best pg combo in the league, chandler/gallinari is one of the best sf combos and chandler is flexible he can play big if they need him to, their not big enough to beat the lakers but i think they could take out the spurs or dallas, spurs will be exposed in the playoffs, jefferson and blair just aint gonna get it done when the game speeds up

Game dosent speed up it actually slows down. And jefferson and blair are starters for the most uptempo team in the league and thats not getting it done?

 

[Mister B.]

I've seen them ball. They're gonna be OK.

Are they going to be one of the "power" teams in the West? No.

But they will be a consistently good team, and even in the playoffs. They're #5 right now.

I like to call them "Sixers West"...a ton of role players, all of which can get 10-15 a game with a potential star (Affalo/Holiday) in the making, and a pretty decent coach.

spurs are the most uptempo in the league? am i missing something? can you prove this? until then im with chuck "spurs are the most overrated team in the league" that team aint doing shit in the playoffs and will be upset in the playoffs
