2018 NBA OFFSEASON

us, 2019: they are

west is gonna be really fun this year, everyone is better below the top few seeds.

portland is not!

they were a top 3 seed!

warriors, rox, pdx all about the same

all i really mean is even the crap teams will be competitive and/or fun.

lol i think i forgot they were the 3 seed. such is my shame

The blazers were about two wins above a six or seven seed, iirc, so, no irreparable shame involved.

i'd go under on the clippers. that team is not constructed to compete and they only keep their 1st rounders this year and next if they miss the playoffs. they need to stfu and tank right now.

the west is gonna be wacky this year bc it's just like last year only now lebron is on the lakers. gsw and rox still tops, lakers, spurs, okc, and utah i think are the 3-6 seeds in some order, still feel like portland, NO, denver, and minny will duke it out for the final 2 spots.

48.5 seems really high to me for that hella weird lakers roster but prob not smart to underestimate bron

Too bad they couldn't find a roster spot for Metta World Peace.

i'm willing to believe lebron is worth +15 wins

free gasol

cursed franchise

Am I right to think that in Tim Burton's Big Fish, that when Ewan McGregor sinks the basketball from behind the three point line, that this is historically inaccurate since this would be in the 1960's and there wouldn't be a three point line yet?

thats right

that booray-arenas article was fn nuts btw good read

I have that open in a tab to read, it is long!

playing booray instead of euchre next time I'm home

that article made me both wish i liked playing cards and happy that i don't

“Hey, MF, come pick one,” Gilbert told Javaris while pointing to the weapons. “I’m going to shoot your [expletive] with one of these.”

“Oh no, you don’t need to shoot me with one of those,” said Javaris, turning around slowly like a gunslinger in the Old West. “I’ve got one right here.”

He pulled out his own gun, already loaded, cocked it and pointed it at Gilbert.

Other players who had been casually arriving, laughing and joking with each other, came to a sudden halt, their eyes bugging out. It took them only a few seconds to realize this was for real, a shootaround of a whole different nature. They all looked at each other and then they ran, the last man out locking the door behind him.

smartest player on the team tbh

interesting

The NCAA will also now allow "elite" high school and college players to be represented by an agent, while also allowing players to return to school if not selected in the NBA Draft.

who decides who is elite

nba bout to draft hs players again anyway prob this time with a functioning minor league in which to matriculate

Kawhi's THANK YOU letter is dumb.

really bad!

he would have been better off saying nothing, per usual

I'm beginning to think he's not the brightest bulb.

haha it's definitely the quality of copy you get using uncle dennis as your manager

now I’m dying to know who won Jason terry’s 1.4 mil pot

Spill it jet

im interested to see how harden comes out, he's been playing for that mvp trophy for four straight seasons wonder if he'll chill a little now that he got it

one sock and sandal, always a trend setter

god what a human being

wait what is up w his toes??

someone needs to do a deep dive into nba players feet/toes. they pretty much all have jacked up toes.

watching nba players go at half speed while all being the same height is so weird
