2015 NBA 'OFFS

but generally i wld say my criticism of his over hypedness has been pretty measured and reasoned and paired with assurances that he is great or very good

All he does is fucking beast in the playoffs goonie g, what more do you wannnnnnnt

hes great dont get me wrong hes really good any team wld be overjoyed to have him

matt the fact that in the midst of a completely different debate you're managing to bring up something i typed a. while half-drunk b. almost a week ago and c. more as a troll than anything else is pretty absurd

hmmm yeah cuz you really stayed out of it lol

almost a week ago

I'm basically dissatisfied by any prognosis that says kawhi isn't a future HOFer

the spurs future is very interesting btw and prob dependent on them landing one big free agent which theyve never been able to do before but maybe the landscape has changed

PIPPEN IS COMPLETELY UNIQUE

we haaaaaave all-caps liftoff!

WELL IN THAT CASE

Look I think we can all agree that kawhi will win MVP next year and will supplant scottie pippen in our collective memories and will retire with the steals record and will win three straight titles ok

I think we're just squabbling over details and that's just not what we do here

it wld be maybe more interesting to talk abt the development of kawhis game heres what im seeing on the offensive end he had a base of a D and 3 + great transition finisher style and to that hes added a really good ability to attack the closeout and a post game and he makes the good instant simple pass when necessary as is the spurs way, he sometimes attacks his man off the dribble iso style but that seems like more of an occasional opportunistic thing, i dont have a good sense for how he functions in the pnr shd watch for that more

We should have a goon v Armstrong fite thread over the summer wld be good entertainment for the offseason

Btw that Tim Duncan coaching Etan Thomas story moullet posted is hilarious

Reminds me of the clips of Andrew luck telling guys who just sacked him "nice job" and "good hit"

he is pippenesque but he's not quite as good as pippen yet but he's only 23 hey guys it's saturday ur wasting ur lives

bout to picnic B-)

I love you goonie, enjoy the picnic.

thank u friend xo i am at the deli buying tacos now

whoa whoa whoa tacos are not picnic food this is the real fight

tacos are anytime food bc theyre great

man, Kris Humphries wtf dude

ugh, schroeder is killing us, korver is cold, alison brie is at the game w/ her franco bf, this game is painful to watch

Brooklyn really isn't that bad with the rejuvenated Bropez

yeah that's what i'm telling myself, 'thad young's really working out for them' etc.

we're fucked.

i've been telling myself that the hawks are just warming themselves up again, but i'm starting to wonder. maybe this loss will shake em up

I would say there are some similarities between that game and the spurs' first game, as in hawks missed a bunch of shots they usually make and I wouldn't predict that to happen two games in a row

bulls bucks already getting back into the chippiness

Deron had that shot to tie game 2 with like 10 seconds left tho, this series has been close.

it's entirely possible that the dude doing play by play for the bulls-bucks series has not seen an entire NBA game this year

Kev will concede the point soon, like Jord did with the 2011 draft. But you, you have the long term potential to find a problem with a Kawhi MVP season or something.

ha i have long conceded that gobert is not actually a rich man's ryan hollins, but it does still make me chuckle to think about it, i mean at heart the guy is an overathletic spaz

the bucks are playing the right way so far

if gobert had Hollins' hops we'd have to change the name of the sport to Gobertball or something

Jimmy butler just personally decided this game should be tied by halftime and made it happen

bulls with home court advantage in milwaukie a lil sad

Also these couple of minutes for the bucks are a good argument for having a veteran point somewhere on the bench for a young team

i didn't think cliff paul ish could get cornier but this identity theft one where it's like "do you get it, it's chris paul, but he's wearing a fake mustache and glasses, that is the hilarious joke" has me like @statefarm delete your account

such an underrated dunk here

yea lol close city proximity will do that

milwaukee pro teams have always been happy to tap into that home away from home market for chicago sports fans. selig actually moved the brewers from the american league to the national league so they could have the cubs in the same division.

given how many minutes jimmy buckets will inevitably play he's gotta be on track to score like 50 or some shit

greek freak fired the fuck up!

I hate that Minnesota isn't in the same conference/division as Milwaukee major Matt Armstrong pet peeve

other than the literal geographical issue, whys that

fun ending so far

yeah, like i'll daydream of ways to move new orleans and memphis to the east and then i'm like who can i move to the west and the only plausible team really is milwaukee and there's no way in hell they're gonna let themselves be in a different conference from chicago and moving chicago to the west almost definitely just exacerbates imbalance issues longterm irregardless of how good that team is right now. basically just do away w/ conferences, go to that weird four or five mega divisions thing someone proposed, accept you can't have truly balanced schedules for every team plus teams don't want it - the bucks want to play the bulls more than they play the suns and the suns want to play the lakers more than they play the bucks - and just do it 1-16 and any inequalities or unfairness in the system will be weeded out by having seven game series. baseball and football don't rig their playoffs to have some sort of geographical balance in the finals, maybe when there were really good odds the finals were going to be lakers-celtics and lakers-celtics was a really optimal scenario for a league that wasn't as established or strong as mlb it made sense to have a system that funneled things to that matchup but it's 2015.
