Official 2016 NBA Off-Season Thread: Westbrook staying in OKC for 3 more years. Confirmed MVP

He’s getting association hate from being paired with Ryan Kelly.

I’ve stated before, Bass should be playing PF and not Center. It’s not his game in the 1st place. Bass plays very well when he’s at his natural position

The backup front court should be Bass and Tarik Black.

And here’s the thing, the starters except Kobe are not playing enough minutes.

D’Lo, Clarkson, Randle, should be playing way more than 25 minutes. This offense as of now needs D’Angelo to get the ball more often, you can’t develop somebody is they’re drafted to be a franchise point guard and all they do is sit in the corner ask for the ball, and not get the ball. I liked what D’Lo did last game when he had the ball. He can’t develop or show off his talents if he’s not getting the ball. Randle was super nice last game as well. It’s just he needs to get more play time. Clarkson is Clarkson has looked superb despite the situation, he’s run the ball up more often but it’s clear he prefers being the 2 guard and not running point. He’s fine because he can do a lot without the ball anyway it’s just D’Angelo who needs the ball for his skills to be shown.

Anthony Brown should get more play time too. He’s only when the game is late in the 4th and garbage time.

Hibbert too he’s only playing around 25 minutes when he should be playing at least 30 since he’s the only realistic defensive presence.

But, if it’s Byron’s plan to Let Kobe jack up shots. Play Bass/Kelly for 30+ minutes a night. Then so be it I guess. Princeton Offense as a whole is not good for younger guys, it excels with vets and experienced players like how the 2000s Kings were dominating with the Princeton. Kenny’s point on Princeton is on point.

Boston has the same issue atm, Brad Stevens is trying to play everyone to appease everyone and is just pissing off everyone. He has yet to settle on any rotation.

I think Byron just wants to make sure they’re stuck down in the loss column before really playing the young guys a ton of minutes, that 2016 pick is too good too pass up

just came to say Drummond is disgusting… those kinda stats should be banned

Whiteside is beginning to destroy teams like I knew he would. Back to back nasty games. Him vs Towns should be fun on Thursday.

25 and 29, wtf is that? lol

He’s gonna be destroying nba frontlines all season

WOO A TARIK BLACK sighting

AND WOO Randle is going ham

Apparently the best thing to happen to Marcus Morris is to get traded.


Kobe pls no more catch and shoot 3s.

Raps 4-0 B)

Tomorrow will be the first real challenge though. I hope Westbrick comes out to play.

refs just calling the most stupid 3 pt fouls for the lakers. No one can be around Lou Williams when he shoots 3 pointers or he goes to the line. smh

Lou Williams is notorious for drawing those 3 point fouls.

What pick? None of these dudes in the upcoming draft are worth a damn.

How can you honestly expect players to develop if the coach is benching them as soon as they start to get hot

Oh well at least Clarkson (dude’s a stud) played very well and so did Randle, the injury freaked me out though.

D’Lo should have gotten more minutes at least late in the game.

It’s safe to say Tarik Black has finally earned minutes over R. Kelly in Byron’s eyes finally.

Lou Will went to the FT line a lot, some say he is still shooting free throws after the game.

This really is the darkest timeline when the Lakers get booed at Staples Center, shit’s sad.

This is KD Alpha’s dream becoming a reality

This Laker team is just so bad defensively, over 4 games they’ve giving up an average of 117 pts. That is just insane man, I don’t even know how to describe that kind of effort.

Hibbert is the only good defender on the team

Just looked up that Hibbert only played 17 minutes lol

I like what I’m seeing from Randle. Dude is a beast.

sucks.
