Random NBA Observations 2017 - 2018

[jaguar paw]

As someone who does bodybuilding recreationally I want to make it clear that anyone’s body can hold muscle well. Some will be more gifted than others in terms of the rate at which they grow but outside of some type of genetic disability anyone can be brolic within about 2 years. KD has “improved” his body but is still extremely frail and lacking in muscle definition.

I dunno how you can look at guys like Steph, Sabo, Giannis, AD, all guys who came in frail as hell and are now chiseled, and suggest that KD has done well improving his body.

Have you seen KD in person?

Really makes you realize that KD is a bytchass because him and Giannis came in looking virtually the same, with the same knock on them about strength, and now Giannis brolic as hell.

After Westbrook's heroics last year, I don't want to hear anymore excuses for Boogie & AD. I don't give a shyt if the roster's not perfect.

You have 2 Superstars on the same team, that should paper up the cracks. LeBron & Harden have both carried similarly talented rosters to the playoffs.

Like @The G.O.D II said, AD and Boogie are big men - they aren't the ball-handlers for the team. There's a limit on just how much they can influence/impact the offense because they aren't creating for others and setting the flow like a ball-handler would. If they were both guards/wings, the Pelicans would have more success. If one was a guard/wing and the other a big man, the Pelicans would have more success.

Anybody watching this cp3 thing on espn?

I'm a little shocked that Jason Terry is still in the league.

He's about to be Top 10 in games played all time.

@Supreme Leader Reinscarf Do we have a Raps thread this year? Can't find it.

Yea, this shyt kinda dope imo. Gives a good look at what players go thru when they become free agents. I think they should do this every year for the biggest name FA, shyt would be dope.

Brody look like he had to hurry up and get to work

Yea, shyt is crazy. Just shows u how a consistent jump shot and bench leadership can go a long way. I think dude will be a coach one day.

I have to disagree, big men, especially two of them can also dominate on defense and and get less talented players open shots.

Looking like somebody's father.

This take is terrible. It's a guards league so even with the front court of AD and Boogie being dominant they still need ball handlers and wings who can be productive. There's only so much they can do.

Oklahoma City had one of the better front lines in the league. Stephen Adams' presence over the last few years has allowed for them to be the best rebounding team in the league. Oladipo would be the best wing player on New Orleans currently. He was just never utilized due to OKC basically allowing Russ to go after the triple double record.

 

[EarlyEarly]

This Bulls roster is

 

[CrimsonTider]

Looks Russ has had some influence on him tbh

 

[DoubleJ13]

No they thought he was TRASH! He's looking like an all star. He's going to be added to the OKC had all these players but 0 rings.

No they didn't

Presti wanted Dipo since forever (he tried to trade up that year to take him) & paid him $84m. They loved Dipo but the chance somehow presented itself to go get PG13 & they did it just like everyone would.

I don't doubt he'll look better with the Pacers though since there's no pressure there & the biggest problem he had in OKC was figuring out when he could play aggressive. For whatever reason he never figured out to just be aggressive all the time
