Chaos in the Middle of a Pandemic: 2020 NBA Off-Season Thread

[Controversy]

Would've been nice... but I like our chances right now

everyone likes their chances when they aren't considering COVID, injuries, and other factors

I'm realistic, the Lakers titles hopes hinge on AD's health

 

[Flex Luger]

To be fair those two showed up in Game six but no one else really did nuggets just gained too much momentum heading into G7 so y’all can stop cherry picking situations lol

Like I said Trez deserves SOME blame but I laugh at folks trying to put all the blame on him when Kawhi and PG shytted the bed in the biggest game of the season.

agreed

There are way worse pnr 5's in the league than Ibaka

have you seen Derrick Favors, Jahlil Okafor, Montrezl Harrell, Nic Vucevic, Marc Gasol, Joker, Aron Baynes, etc...

There are some equally bad ones but none worse....Have i seen Gasol ? lol Gasol was on the team i watch the last 2 years ....

SO your trying to tell me Gasol is worse than Ibaka in the PnR ?

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

No clue why folks wanna blame a 6th man for the Clippers problems last year

Well, considering there's a lot of truth to the talk of him being the mole, I'd say he's a large part of it since chemistry was at the heart of all their issues.

 

[Crack Daniels]

Clippers coulda used a guy like Teague at backup PG. The trade deadline is gonna be crazy because the entire league is wide open and a ton of teams will be buyers looking to get over the top

shyt happens can’t win em all, hopefully this humbled them but kawhi gotta take more accountability and stop sitting out so much if they can’t even make a wcf

Gasol was horrible in the playoffs against PnR

 

[Miggs]

Gasol was horrible in the playoffs against PnR

Yea he was....Ibaka been horrible the last 3 years tho.

Ya gotta tell ur self Ibaka hits 3s averaged 15 PPG why wasnt he starting,why wasnt he closing games ?

@Miggs and his First World basketball fan problems complaining about Ibaka's defense.

Its a lateral move at best

 

[Rocket Scientist]

I like the Rondo move to ATL. Low-key Avery Bradley to Heat is solid as well.

Clippers still have no true center, (zubaic is food)
Ibaka is good fit but still don’t fix their issues regarding have a playmaker

Zu may improve under a new coach, Doc doesn't develop players and didn't believe in him. Lue isn't a good coach but he atleast has gotten some good production out of TT and Mozgov (he mightve only been the assistant back then I can't recall.) so that may help. Not sure.

What team could win a championship with one of their duo's going down? It's not a revelation to say AD needs to be healthy for the Lakers to repeat. The same goes for pretty much every contender.
