2017 NBA OFFSEASON

too young

paul's ideal landing place was...the la clippers lmao

the curse of doc rivers

lol the lob city clippers really were an enigma. Wonder if cp maybe just needs to loosen up a bit? Shimmy a lil, flip some water bottles on the sidelines, take virtual dumps on the court etc

clips & cp have also had terrible luck with injuries

lol

Anthony Davis says he hopes he and DeMarcus Cousins become like Nikola Jokic and Jusuf Nurkic https://t.co/oesroPV8oE

boogie to portland confirmed

wonder what CP's carrier would have looked like if he went to that other LA team that he was traded to.

err career*

thousands of days late and millions of dollars short

not that there was any doubt

loll

i love chris paul

is basketball back yet guys

i miss the good old bouncing ball of hoops

Not even really close :/

it takes them a few months to reinflate the ball

hahaha

hoops idea: make nba happen every day

i had a dream i was in portland to attend the wedding of somebody who was like a euron greyjoy without the bloodthirst, and clay was there and we got a drink

bud I guarantee you we will get that drink one day

looking forward to seeing you at euron greyjoy's wedding

sexi wedding

nautical centerpieces

finally actually read the rest of that ringer piece on cp3 (it was a lot shorter than i thought it'd be) and it's basically "chris paul has great stats but no ringzzz". cool take bro

the point about his lack of defensive versatility seems interesting until you realize that none of the other elite point guards of his generations are multi-positional stoppers. steph curry and russell westbrook are not out here guarding multiple positions in the playoffs

russ shd be able to but lol

Yeah the point guard who can defend multiple positions is now really the holy grail of the pace & space era. Most great defensive points (Kidd, glove, early Tony Parker?, pre insanity rondo) were locking down the opposing point and mostly just switching onto the 2 when needed. Struggling to think of guys who can bring more to full switching defenses nowadays, which makes me think the bucks should have stuck to the point Giannis experiment

You know who would have been an incredible defender at the point today, magic

being 6-9 helps

George hill is good, right?

I was somehow not aware that magic johnson is as tall as kevin durant and larry bird. he felt shorter in all of those larry bird tapes, perhaps by design.

druant is really 6-11 fwiw

also magic wld get utterly carved up by todays point guards

ha the first result under "kevin durant height" = 6'9" is an article saying it's wrong. sorry.

do 3 us tsps still = 1 us tbsp, google?

it was long rumored that kd was lying abt his height then a lil while a go he admitted it on radio, he said it was cause he didnt want to play power forward lol

it was very clear from those photos of the olympic team where he was clearly taller than boogie

isn't he actually 7ft?

http://hoopshype.com/2017/08/07/the-story-of-the-summer-pick-up-team-nobody-could-beat/

id be surprised if Durant wasn't 7ft, he's huge

imagine how tall he'd be if he didn't hunch

i think if you measured barefoot the only nba players truly over 7ft would be hibbert, embiid, mejri etc - all the stiffs.

zinger, boban

the practice of measuring in shoes is very weird

it makes sense, ppl wear shoes when they play hoops

chris paul is really 5'5" tbf
