nets signed a number of guys who don’t really look like they should be playing many/any minutes in the NBA

I just teared up briefly when I realized ball is back

Heez, Wednesday, 20 October 2021 02:09 (three years ago) link

ball has always been

class project pat (m bison), Wednesday, 20 October 2021 02:11 (three years ago) link

we ball eternal

Clay, Wednesday, 20 October 2021 02:23 (three years ago) link

It’s possible that Blake’s moments of spring with the nets last year were all he had left

Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 20 October 2021 02:27 (three years ago) link

man carmelo is gonna miss so many threes this year

J0rdan S., Wednesday, 20 October 2021 02:29 (three years ago) link

i thought blake looked fine. he’s pretty good for what they wanna do. LMA, milsap, james johnson, alize johnson… those are the guys who i have little idea why they’re playing

J0rdan S., Wednesday, 20 October 2021 02:30 (three years ago) link

Millsap is completely washed and is basically just a locker room guy

Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 20 October 2021 03:05 (three years ago) link

Pretty simple for the lakers, If this is AD can show up for most of the season and into the playoffs they get make the finals.

westbrook lebron melo and dwight howard on the floor at the same time is the most 2013 all star game vibes i could possibly imagine being conjured at this point in time

J0rdan S., Wednesday, 20 October 2021 04:15 (three years ago) link

J0rdan S., Wednesday, 20 October 2021 04:15 (three years ago) link

lakers cant hang with the kids

micah, Wednesday, 20 October 2021 04:30 (three years ago) link

suprised to see bjelica get closer minutes

micah, Wednesday, 20 October 2021 04:31 (three years ago) link

it’s just one game and they’re gonna need good health but this warriors team kinda feels night and day from where they were last year.

poole gives them someone else in the starting line up who can do something the ball, and lee can score a bit off the bench. and then just putting guys like igoudala and bjelica in the rotation who are actually competent NBA players is such a step up from a lot of what they we’re running out last year. no wiseman, no oubre, no paschall, no nico mannion

J0rdan S., Wednesday, 20 October 2021 04:34 (three years ago) link

bjelica is going the fuck off lmao. dude has 15-11-4

Add Brad wannamaker to last years list. And yah this roster makes more sense. Better mix of solid vets, shooting and high iq. My favorite thing to see was curry setting a screen on a play and bjelica coming off of it stepping back and getting a pass from dray and shooting the three with no hesitation. Curry shot awful and they still had enough shooting. The ball movement and player movement was promising.

um, i mean... im sure weve all seen the videos, so... that will help (Spottie), Wednesday, 20 October 2021 07:00 (three years ago) link

I want Zion to go to the heat and get on that pat Riley work out regime.

Bjelica looked really really good in this system

was not really feeling either of the teams in the late game lakers are a classic old guy team maybe they can find some sort of bruising identity idk dont think the outlook is good for them maybe brow should get on the juice or something, dubs despite having some random guys go off still seem like they do not have enough players who can do stuff HOWEVER if klay comes back at a good level things could be different, also they might look different if steph just has a good game lol, the supporting cast def has more offensive skills than last year but none of them are really "slam dunks", idk like the loony-green-wiggins front line is just not pleasing to me personally i find that combination frustrating

lag∞n, Wednesday, 20 October 2021 13:26 (three years ago) link

I guess those media day pictures weren't lying after all?

re the warriors, poole had 20 points in 25 mins and didn’t shoot particularly well either but he looks pretty legit to me. bjelica was really active too, i mean he’s not gonna put up a double double every night & he basically couldn’t get off the bench for 2 diff teams last year so i don’t wanna overreact to 1 game, but you have to honor his shot and he can facilitate the ball a bit. i thought that game just didn’t have the feel of warriors games last year where steph was playing 1 on 5 like, can he even pass the ball? who else can dribble? and when he was on the bench you were like, literally how are they gonna score a point? i think their ceiling is realistically like fourth in the west, maybe third if they have a dream year, but that looked to me like a team that has a great shot at avoiding the play in game which would be huge for them.

the lakers i agree w/ you… woof. nunn and THT and ellington are hurt so i guess they will get some more youth and shooting, also they have ariza for whatever that is worth but once AD cooled off there was no pop in that line up at all. lebron shooting tons of threes again & not pressing the basket… he shot 11 threes to 6 FTs, that just isn’t his game (and he was hot from three). i would worry about vogel leaning too hard on the vets too even when those guys come back. melo & dwight should barely be seeing the floor imo… like 5-6 mpg players rondo, avery bradley & denadre… three guys who could barely get on the floor for the hawks, heat, and nets last year if at all. bazemore is a decent player but not at 30 mins. i’ll reserve judgement until they have their full rotation back but that game concerned me. the idea of this version of lebron and anthony davis dragging them to the finals does not seem realistic

J0rdan S., Wednesday, 20 October 2021 14:51 (three years ago) link

yeah i mean the warriors offensive situation is not as bad as last year but its still kind of the same deal

lag∞n, Wednesday, 20 October 2021 15:03 (three years ago) link

also steph had an absolutely insane year despite it all its asking a lot for him to repeat that performance

lag∞n, Wednesday, 20 October 2021 15:04 (three years ago) link

not sure why the jordan poole bandwagon is suddenly standing room only but it is good they at least have someone else who can get some shots up

lag∞n, Wednesday, 20 October 2021 15:09 (three years ago) link

the warriors developed a draft pick and want everyone to know about it

call all destroyer, Wednesday, 20 October 2021 15:10 (three years ago) link

kudos to them its a good thing to do lol

lag∞n, Wednesday, 20 October 2021 15:14 (three years ago) link

when Bjelica was in Minnie they really tried to make the "Professor Big Shots" nickname a thing, I don't know if it stuck

Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 20 October 2021 15:20 (three years ago) link

what's the situation on Klay??

frogbs, Wednesday, 20 October 2021 15:25 (three years ago) link

probably back in january?

call all destroyer, Wednesday, 20 October 2021 15:28 (three years ago) link

yah maybe a little earlier

um, i mean... im sure weve all seen the videos, so... that will help (Spottie), Wednesday, 20 October 2021 15:29 (three years ago) link

so if all goes well he could be rounding into form for the stretch run

lag∞n, Wednesday, 20 October 2021 15:30 (three years ago) link

i’d love to know how many games they won last year when steph scored 21 points or less. it’s still heavily reliant on steph and if he gets hurt there will be problems but i wouldn’t underestimate the effect of swapping in mere competence for a bunch of guys they were playing last year who are like straight up non rotation players in the NBA (putting oubre aside, he seemed more like a combo of bad fit + bad year)
