THE 2017 NBA 'OFFS™

he did not get there, he got to 6'3 and 3/4

What a strange game this was. Props to pop man, just gets the most out of whatever he has

He pwns dantoni so hard

i thought toronto's exit was a disaster but this was.....a complete disaster

this games was so bad i fell asleep at half time and only just woke up

when youve defeated and humiliated your son

rip to the beard, the man who will not win the mvp

ok i don't follow this stuff too closely but how does a reputedly decent team lose by 40 at home in an elimination game against a team without its best player and starting point guard

👻 its a mystery

i think there are going to be a lot of words spilled trying to figure that out

Harden wasn't really the same since the hand injury late in the season but I'm grasping at straws here.

The offense just died the last two games. Completely dead.

i just would like to say that i was OTM itt

like i literally said spurs in 6, what the fuck, tomorrows lottery numbers are 4 20 6 66 69 and a shoe my dog had sex with last year, lets get rich gueyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

its because they wore those uniforms

its bc of your mom

btw i have no respect for harden as a man or basketball player, that dude is forever basura en mi mente, pinche culero

dejounte murray had a fucking double double and the other double was REBOUNDS #futurewestbrook

im talking as much shit as possible bc we are probably gonna get trashed by the warriors aka the fakest bunch of fake ass gangsters who might as well be a 19th century trust but with basketball instead of oil and railroads

really enjoyed watching murray tonight. def seems like he'll be a player.

GSW are just enjoying the fruits of a super-cheap Steph contract atm. Their idyll will end soon enough.

before he got injured, he was getting some good minutes and had some performances. prediction: if he can shoot >40% from 3, he will make at least one all start team. he's got the prototype NBA body (6'5" tall and long arms) and hes fast and he's being coached by pop.

oh yeah if he ever shoots that well from 3 he'll be a star. won't even need to shoot that well to be good tho.

nice for the spurs to get some more size in the backcourt. him, DG & w/ kawhi will be terror on defense.

omg wow tw

JAMES HARDEN U R DEAD TO ME ,TO THE WORLD TO ANYONE WHO HAS EVER LACED UP SNEAKERS AND PLAYED A PROFESSIONAL SPORT. PUT A GUN IN YOUR MOUTH. pic.twitter.com/jqfTHWq5GE

Is that how the cap works now? I guess they have to pay him 40m a year and it's only 100... I got used to teams being able to keep all their stars no matter what.

*if they were willing to pay

decent breakdown

http://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/after-new-cba-heres-what-has-to-happen-for-warriors-to-keep-durant-and-curry/

you cant really overstate how punitive the luxury tax gets after the first year tho

clearly their only option is to trade dray to orlando

zach lowe it was my understanding the bulls didnt want to make this kind of trade

Boston would have almost no chance against Cleveland, and the "almost" is generous. Swap, say, Crowder, Marcus Smart, and a Nets pick for Butler, and the odds of an upset get better.

i've developed a new orlando magic theory

i would not trade crowder, smart, and the nets pick for butler!!

and neither wld the bulls!

anyway good article otherwise http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/19361564/zach-lowe-boston-celtics-vs-washington-wizards-game-6-nba

my takeaway washington has the best player but boston plays better

emma baccellieri's deadspin piece "James Harden Comes To Houston To Watch Rockets Take On Spurs" is cold but accurate

some good highlights of hardens game

ya

tho if they actually get the #1 pick prob no

im in the harden was concussed camp

def seems like a reasonable theory

the fact that he threw the ball to a phantom teammate instead of trying to draw a phantom foul on a three pt shot says something.

the dream scenario for boston tho as i wrote in the offseason thread is not to trade for butler but rather for dre jordan and then sign gordo hayward

long shot on both counts but not impossible, wld be happy to trade for butler too tho then they still need to address their rebounding problems

i think hayward is like 90% to stay in utah

yeah seems like he has a p good setup there + they can offer him a lot more money, only wild cards are what if hes madly in love with brad, and if the celtics succeed in trading for another star the celtics wld be a much better team than the jazz, and he wld escape the horrors of having to play the dubs in the second round
