Random NBA Observations 2017 - 2018

Can someone please tell what the hell the Miami Heat were trying to build handing out contracts to all these role players

Tanking >>>

Sorry tremont

whoa whoa whoa, I'm not saying some teams shouldn't tank (if anything I've been really clear about those teams in the playoffs basically taking up space). I'm saying some teams don't believe in it and some squads don't mind having an artificial ceiling. I didn't say the deals they gave out were smart. Miami's biggest disappointment is twofold: 1. Whiteside for whatever reason can't stay healthy. 2. Justise Winslow has been a big disappointment.

I'm browsing the Realgm board and some of these Suns fans are miserable fukks.

Turning heel on Booker when he's the best thing this pathetic franchise has going for itself.

Because of turnovers....When he's playing with a bunch of shytty players


The guy just turned 21 last month.....Jesus fukking christ

Be honest, although yall can give him the biggest bag--do you foresee him re-signing with yall? He looks like he want out his damn self.



And, gotdamn Serge lol

And then proceeded to blow it by having Beal foul Simmons which caused him to foul out.

Then left some guy named McCullough in instead of Otto.

He is a terrible coach.

You try to steer your hometown brehs in the right direction and he goes to Syracuse

120, 118, 126, 115, 118, 121, 131

early impressions on bagley? i certainly havent fallen in love with his pro prospects yet, a tad disappointed even though he is producing at high level

It's good and bad too. I really do miss slugfests that were low scoring games, but not outright bad games to watch. When games finished in the 90 point total range they were still fun and good to watch. If a team scores sub-100 these days it's just because they threw up a bunch of bricks and didn't try anything else, just kept throwing up bricks.

It's also why we get so many blowouts, particularly in the playoffs. One team is hot from 3 and the other isn't? That's game.

Obviously spacing opens the court up, big men skills have come a long way, and there's a lot of other shyt going on that keeps the game entertaining, but games that turn into sloppy, glorified 3 point contests are awful to watch. It's also why I love watching the Sixers. They got 2 superstars that attack within the arc and it's just more fun to watch.

Breh NBA players weren't turning down max offers after their rookie contracts prior to the new CBA, there's no way in hell any of these guys are turning down the super max now. If he's bouncing he's bouncing in 7 years, not 2.

He looks the part. I gotta see how he continues to play. From a Bulls standpoint, I'd probably rather have Ayton or Bamba (and hope your facilitator feeds him easy buckets)

Lamarcus is out there ballin like in his prime

I miss Andrew Bynum, feels like he's been out the league 8 years and he's still only 30.

He was embid before embid. Two time champions, Triple doubles in playoffs, 30 rebounds on Duncan, and legendary “every city got ATM” Dude was a beast on block was blocking shots and was the first center to shoot a three and he got benched for it.

He was good, but Embiid is a HOF level talent, Bynum wasn't that

Naw he was. You forget how he was dominating before his first injury and then again his all star year. If he was first
Option like Joel hed put up big numbers plus He was stuck in the triangle with 2 HOFers. He had the post moves; shooting touch and the drive, his knees just didn’t let him. He went at Shaq as an 18 year old.

I don't forget anything relating to him, he was good but he was not a HOF level talent, which is part of the reason why the Lakers traded him for sorry ass Dwight. There isn't a C in the league right now that the Sixers would even consider trading Embiid for, they were turning down trades when he was hurt so the injury issue with Bynum is moot.

He didn't have the range Embiid has, that is part of what makes Embiid dangerous is that he's a threat in the post or facing up, which was never a part of Bynums game. He wasn't getting the ball and hitting dudes with jab step, dribble, hesi into jumpers or turn arounds like Embiid is doing.

Why you keep bringing him up? Ayton is the better player and would fit better with lari
