2017 NBA OFFSEASON

It must have been a mirage in college. He’s retooled his shooting form and it looks super awkward.

Frank Mason has been really impressive. Didn’t think much of him in college at all

There is some absolutely insane Donovan Mitchell hype in the twittersphere, idk about that

Can the nuggets bring back the tacos woman plz

In general this looks to be an amazingly deep rookie class. Seems like 20 teams have a rookie who has looked great

Deandre bembry wants to be called Pierre when he has his hair in dreads

embid has to stay healthy

Dude they had to take your ass out or you would’ve fouled out in 5 min... And we’re talking about Preseason, not regular season..... #Softy https://t.co/IAIBDDypFK

the nba starts in a mere handful of days and americas favorite teams are playing

pumped

curious to discover this game called the basketball

The gods have blessed us with the perfect opening double header

truly

these one team one stat pieces have some good factoids http://www.nba.com/article/2017/10/04/one-team-one-stat-boston-celtics/?collection=writer/archive/john-schuhmann#/

Over the last five seasons, Al Horford ranks fourth in field goal percentage in the restricted area (minimum 1,000 attempts) at 72.5 percent and 11th in mid-range field goal percentage (minimum 1,000 attempts) at 45.6 percent. Other players in the top 15 in both: Kevin Durant (first and eighth), Serge Ibaka (ninth and seventh) and Kawhi Leonard (13th and 13th).

Horford was the only player to shoot better than 50 percent on at least 50 3-point attempts in the '17 playoffs.

um fact check that is 2 stats

ever heard of irony hello

fake news

celtics have only had one opening day starter under 21 years old in their history, tomorrow theyll have two

(antoine walker) (jaylen brown, jayson tatum)

theyre saying bron might not play but cmon

fine the cavs 100 million dollars if he doesnt play

the reg season thread needs to be started and we need to get our predix in. someone think of something good.

true

one of my fav dumb nba things is how fans overrate their teams role players, i was searching for the cavs opening night starting five and lol

love has said hes the starting center so i assume its gonna be

love
bron
crowder
wade
rose

tho that is brutal defensively, especially considering bron is now an official regular season non defender

thompson
love
bron
wade
rose

might make more sense

then crowder can still get a bunch of minutes when either bron or love are on the bench

man their backcourt is just flammable

rose
wade
isaiah
jr
calderon

maybe shump can do something there idk

jr the best defender in thet bunch lol

hes the only one thats not an utter fn cone my god

was arguing with my 13 year old nephew in law last night cos he said that derrick rose is back to his rookie season form.........

couldnt let that slide doesnt matter how old and naive you are

yo come make some predix with me

2017-18 nba predictions

couldnt let that slide doesnt matter how old and naive you are

important to maintain standards

wade is still ok defensively i think but he's def on the lebron never trying until the playoffs program

them young 'uns exist to be schooled by we who are older, wiser and more cynical

precisely.

xp wade looked like possibly the worst defensive player in the league last playoffs but then again he probably was just coasting collecting his check not givng af.

LaMarcus Aldridge and the San Antonio Spurs are engaged in talks on a contract extension, league sources tell ESPN.

why would the spurs do this

get him on a cheaper per year deal thats more in line w his value, makes him tradable?

he has a player option for $22m next year, maybe he declines it and leaves and the spurs get nothing in return, or maybe he takes it and leaves the year after/has very little trade value cause hes on the last year of his deal, if they cld get him for $15 a year/4 years thats maybe the best proposition for them, tho i have no idea if he has any interest for signing for that kind of money

maybe theyre just talking and nothing will come of it

if they cld get him for $15 a year/4 years thats maybe the best proposition for them, tho i have no idea if he has any interest for signing for that kind of money

yeah if they do this then obv thats the right move

that's like what JR Smith makes. I doubt he'd dip that low

that's dieng low

ya prob not especially considering he said he was unhappy in san ant

unhappy because he has too much money, though?

maybe he ran out of storage space for all his money

maybe he feels bad cos he's bad at basketball and wants to do the right thing by taking what he's actually worth

i'm still an LMA believer

my numbers may have been a bit off
