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

[D. Morgan]

Not going to read the 476 posts since I've last been in the thread.

Didn't want to start 0-2 coming back from the all-star break. Porter and Morris gotta get their grooves back. Wall and Beal been doing what they do.

Tough challenge tonight cause we play the warriors. Not trying to be 0-3 so we might as well get our shit back together and start it off with a win over the warriors.

Im really going to miss Al Goatford

See how easy that was? Worry about your team drafting players because they have long arms and not actual talent

It's hard to win with the entire starting lineup playing like ass. I'm ready for Orlando or somebody else to give Horford the max.

but you got it. And shout out to Taurean Prince averaging the same stats as "Future Superstar" Jaylen Brown in half the minutes

Horford's stats are only a few boards short of what KG was giving most of his tenure here, I see it with you idiots everyday a 20 point lead in the first quarter and y'all are in here acting like the game is over and then you're surprised when the team that was down 20 comes back, why vegas always wins most people don't know shit about basketball, Al is what 31 fuck is he going to do give it 100 every night only to be burnt out by the playoffs? This type of shit happens with veteran players 2010 Celtics is a prime example Sheed and KG we're looking pretty washed all year then the playoffs start and we turned it the fuck up

"He's a really good player. It'd be nice if he wasn't, but he is. I mean, he's got everything. He's got every skill set you want," Houston Rockets head coach Mike D'Antoni said. "We went after him hard in free agency, and he shoots threes and can drive and whatever you need from him. He's really good."

Shout out to Dantoni, but nah you geniuses of the ic y'all still got it

Players who pad stats on losing teams or players who sacrifice stats for the betterment of their team? There's only a few who know what I'm talking about

Y'all mutha fuckas just look at stats I swear

Jaylen has been playing better over the past month we're at the point where he's improved and forcing Stevens to give him minutes, he was the only one to play good. John, Al has been averaging 10, 6 and 5 on 40% shooting over the past month he has to play better period, I'm aware of the spacing and passing but he disappears in WAY too many games when he's looked at as the leader. Past few years we defended at high intensity but this year our glaring flaws are an open wound that ainge for whatever reason won't address. We need rebounding and interior defense badly

 

[southsil4lil]

I'm very high on Jaylen Brown, I liked him going to into the draft I just thought he may have went a little earlier than I expected but now that might have been the right move.....could possibly be borderline all star caliber player at some point but at the very least I think hes going to be very good starter in the league for a long time

I have to overcompensate for Al because these dudes are fucking stupid but he does need to sharpen up on defense especially, but unless you want Brad to change his whole system then Al's board are never going to be great, he's plays the perimeter too much and he boxes out allowing others to grab them, you think Avery is grabbing 8 a game without Al? But when all you do is look at stats it's easy to say that's a problem, we're basically exactly where I thought we would be after signing Al maybe a little worse defensively but to me Amir who is basically a poor mans Al Horford is the spot we should be better, Amir as a body off the bench would be ideal, I would of liked Noel (barring he gets a 25 mil a year contract) and have whoever is working with Jaylen work with Noel on his mid range jumper

I know Kobe's contract set the Lakers back 10 years but these contract jokes are old and irrelevant now with the new cap considering we can still sign a max this summer but these fools haven't caught up yet, they'll try to tell me the future is bright because of a
