Random NBA Observations 2017 - 2018

[Ben.]

By facing who? THE RAPTORS... They always been suspect. It'll be no different from this season from last season. They play passive against LeBron. The only team that MAY challenge is Philly and that is IF they reach the EFC. The Warriors vs the Spurs is going to be one of the toughest matches of the post season. Why people KEEP discounting the Spurs is remarkable to me. They are the team with the most depth, the all-star vets that STILL CAN BALL and one of the greatest coaches in NBA history. For the Spurs to win, they really need DURANT to lead and I am not sure the Servant is truly a leader. Not to mention him and Draymond are an technical or two away from being suspended a game, not to mention no Steph Curry which cancels out the issue of no Kawhi, and with you never know what to get with Klay, he can be unstoppable in one game and disappear the next, the Warriors bench is suspect as hell. This is NOWHERE like last season.

Spurs not enough fire power, Raptors better than any team Warriors will face until WCF. Spurs may take one game if that. Only advantage Spurs have is coaching and bench. I don't mind if Spurs prove me wrong and make it a tough series but I don't see it, Kawhi is a huge difference maker for them.

The Knicks did so well in the Kanter trade that they done brainwashed this dude into leaving money on the table

Lol trying to hype up the worst Spurs team in decades now after the Warriors, surprise surprise, luck up into the easiest path possible to the Finals yet again.

Draymond and Durant are not a technical away from anything. It resets in the playoffs.

43 minutes for Jimmy in his 3rd game back from a knee injury...

Never change Thibs... never change



That game might have taken a few years off of Jimmy's career when we look back at it in a few seasons.

Only reason gary harris played 21 mins was because it was his 2nd game back from the knee injury. Nuggets win if Malone forces him to play. Thibs would have had him out there for at least 40mins

Wilson Chandler played 48mins and scored 0 points. SMH

2016 draft class is looking a lot better after most players in that class had a horrible rookie year.

Simmons
Ingram
Jaylen Brown
Jamal Murray
Buddy
Dunn
Sabonis
Poeltl
Taurean Prince
Dejounte Murray

 

[KOBE]

Is there a Pelicans/Blazers series thread? That should be a fun one.

NBA tv status because fukk casuals. Should relegate Spurs/Warriors there and build some hype for Lillard/Davis.

@ the Suns. For real.

They had the 4th and 8th pick, the only real other busts in the lottery look like Thon and Papa(who I also think were awful picks).

Then again, maybe it's on the Suns more than both Bender and Chriss. Jackson has good looked this year so I don't know about that.

Yeah I know... it's a tough spot to be in as a coach, but I bet Thibs wanted to win by any means necessary. And if Jimmy doesn't care about the impact playing that kind of game so soon, I'm sure Thibs gives no fukks as well

Jimmy wanted to play, he could've got restricted minutes if he wanted... He wasn't bout to let them nikkas loseJimmy being the Hero as usual

ESPN is currently making it seem like KD is just a sidekick to Steph
