The Official 2016-2017 NBA Thread (NBA Champs Warriors)

[AZTG]

Shame that I said the Raptors/Bucks series was one of my favorite ones to watch and that I was looking forward to the game. Came home around halftime, saw the score, and didnt even turn the game on for a second.

And @beta, i like Derozan, but I dont think Derozan is that dude where you blow up the team around him, but keep him and rebuild with him. Derozan is an elite player to me, but he needs to be somewhere where he can be the #1 option offensively, but not necessarily have it be his team. He dont got those intangibles to me. Thats why if the raptors do blow it up, I think they should blow it up all the way. Unless they can let go of lowry and attract all star right away to fill his spot thats not gonna get the playoffs jitters EVERY fucking year. But none of the upcoming free agents move the needle enough imo.

@Toronto fans, let me know if yall disagree. Im not saying they should definetly blow it up, im saying if they do blow it up, they should blow it all the way up.

On a side note, Melo would be a great fit next to Derozan. Make that happen Toronto. We'll take anything for Melo.

On another side note, i know that a lowry to the Knicks trade almost went down I think 3 seasons ago. Imagine if Lowry was actually playing in NY and pulling these disappearing acts. God damn, the NY media would have ate him alive and made it much worse. Glad that aint happen for his sake.

Yeah i see what you're saying but clay does the heavy lifting as it is in Toronto if you been paying attention all season. The offense doesn't even have to be geared towards him necessarily but in the scenario, everybody is still there except lowry. Clay, ibaka in an increased role, Wright or Joseph getting ample time, and powell getting consistent mins every night sounds fine. While they can save the money from lowry.

Plus how you wanna blow it up but add melo?

Forget the add melo part. Haha. The sidenote was the Knicks fan in me.

Like I said, if you can replace lowry with an allstar and a good coach, it'll be a good look. But, if you let go of Lowry, replace him with role players and tell Derozan youre the man now and Ibaka is the 2nd option, and be a perennial 6-8 seed while hoping an allstar wants to come to the Raptors, you fucking up in my opinion.

If you feel confident that you will get an allstar in free agency to run with Derozan, you keep him. But, if you saying keep Derozan and we can draft a player and develop him and he can eventually be the 2nd option, you fucking up.

The raptors kinda put themselves on the map the last few imo, so, I can see a free agent going there, but idk if I can bank on that if im toronto.

Ain't nobody going to no fucking obscure ass Toronto as a big name free Agent lol but I got lazy now so idc no mo. You got it I'll just agree with you

yea imma need you to stfu..

acting like we live in a wasteland toronto is one of the best cities in the world fuckboy

and this real funny coming from a guy who lives in stank ass new jersey i been there before and it SUCKS

i mean yall cool for some NBA players like KAT etc coming outta there but its still fuck NJ tho

the biggest thing bad that i can think of right now is that we get taxed hard compared to other cities and the winter time sucks compared to the other places but i mean other cities get snow just like us also.. if ppl can deal with CLE (helps that brons there now) then anything is possible

dont you ever shit on toronto as a city the raptors as a team okay but not my city

We was cool till the Jersey hate bruh. I been in Toronto, and you legit got more to do in Newark than you do in Toronto, and Newark aint shit.

Ofcourse, the issue in Newark is that you can get carjacked at a red light in broad daylight.

those dudes in new jersey drive could open a car and start it faster than someone that actually had a key

Or put a gun to your window and tell you to get out while the car running. Shit happened to the car behind me at a light, broad day. The wolves ordered two old people out of the car. I felt bad as I hit the gas and ran the light cause fuck all that.

Yoooooo when the fuck did this happen ? :#

 

[KingFreeman]

Curious to see if the head detective can pull the C's to a victory or if horford and crowder gonna stink it up still

 

[KamPushMe]

Rondo needs to thug it out

 

[Maywood]

Shit probably swollen as fuck,he was hooping off straight adrenaline.. oh well next man up :/

 

[detcatinva]

Indy needed a point guard in the worse way last night.

Teague tap dancing ass would get them in their sets too late. Stephenson can't shoot and they didn't guard him

 

[Neophyte Wolfgang]

its amazing how personally offended we get when teams or players lay eggs

i now hate the raptors purely because of that

ive seen the raptors play this exact playoff game at least ten times over the past four years

and all this happened after they got disrespected with the barney song

i never wanna hear about the raptors again in my life if they lose this series

they really had like 25 points with 2 minutes left in the half like a big 10 game

ship them back to canada and make them stay there

no way demar can go back to compton after that

he gotta fly moms out the hood to come see him from now on

Amen......put the Falcons on that list too after that epic choke job

 

[Neophyte Wolfgang]

wade/jimmy need to have the ball handling duties now

this aint the time to trust jerian/mcw

if jimmy is 'that guy' he carries himself to be and talks about being

tonight is the night he puts up a 35-40 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assist game

I like the MCW, Thomas matchup MCW has height and his defense is not bad....he just has to play smart. Its not like Rondo a better shooter than him....Rondo just has more experience and runs the point like a VET

 

[Beta]

Nobody to feed Zipser and Portis for easy open looks

Bulls got 18 point guards but only 1 can pass well

 

[Livefromclayco]

Jimmy probably running point the rest of the series. MCW should never see the floor again

How demoralizing does it gotta be to know that even when you play your best..you STILL cant beat bron and co??? Them niggas might as well say fuck sundays game, no point in travling back to cleveland just to lose the series there, save a trip lol

Havent you still noticed the DEPTH OF THAT SQUAD?

Korver

Williams

Schumpert

Frye

Lebron

God found that shit so disrespectfully unfair that he sent the leg collector to take at least Bogut.

An inexperienced Bron took Jamario moon and Larry Hugues and Ilgauskas to the finals.

Now he got these ninjas as a SECOND SQUAD.

Thats unfair.

If KD is 50 % of his abilities the Warriors gon lose. Cause Imo no way

Ian Clark

Mc Gee

Mc Caw

Igodala

Livingston / Barnes gona stop the Cavs from the begining of the second quarter till the begining of the 3rd. The starters will have to fight extra minutes.

And God forbid if they have any 3 pts slump

 

[ckfree]

get the atlanta hawks out my face too

them and the raptors gotta stop making the playoffs

put their games on youtube

Tommys bottom bitch talking cash shit. Don't give up that 2-0 lead nigga.

no one is trying to hear from your maple syrup asses on this friday

go back to your jurassic sidewalk or whatever the fuck it is and be quiet

Oh Canadian jokes... Maple syrup. Bitch nigga. Even got his wack post style down. Couldn't even refute the fact tommy got your bitch ass turning over.

just as expected

no bars

just feelings

i joke about everybody teams including my own

and i will continue to do so

 

[ckfree]

when rondo got thrown out of the rotation he still persisted

kept working

i have a much better appreciation for rondo up close now

he is still mercurial but i think i hold the carlisle incident a little less against him now

niko named him one his 2 favorite teammates that hes ever had

i think rondo could be a great coach someday if he wanted to

dude is genius level smart and clearly commands the ear of the young players

 

[Ghostdenithegawd]

Ty Lue such a pussy ass coach i guarantee the cavs put up no fight to comeback in the 2nd half like the Hawks did against them.. they're frontrunners

Well.........

@Trillfate

Bitch nigga avoiding this thread

Raps got the Barney music played on them then took a humongous loss, idk how the bucks can possibly respect them now

Raptors the team that runs to the corner store for other teams
