The Official Offseason 2016-17 NBA Thread: Waiting for Preseason

“The Pacers will be elite this year” they said.

“They’ll easily be the 4th seed” they said.

Bucks have been starting Greek Freak at PG. That shit should be illegal, bruh. He’s fucking 6’11".

Knicksrbake

Wiggins still doesn’t know how to rebound or pass. But yet he was mad about his 2K rating.

Lillard is serious about this mvp thing

Wolves are really one blockbuster trade away from being legit, they have some valuable trading chips they will consider moving at the deadline.

realistically, looney should be the one getting backup C minutes after west.

I still beleive in zaza and what he can bring to the team. but i’ve told people that i think mcgee could be starting by end of the year. but some shit would have happen for mcgee to overtake everyone in front of him.

looney is a more aggressive rebounder, a better passer than the other 3 players at C, and probably works better with other shooters. he’s been around the team for a year, so he knows the team better than the other 3 as well. but the hip is still a worry, but i dunno to what degree.

warriors have a rim protection problem. one solution is just put mcgee in there and cross your fingers. the other solution is play better perimeter defense and funnel to zaza to use his positioning to end plays instead of getting blown by and leaving him on an island with a cannonball headed in his direction.

First week is done. Some teams look exactly the same, as expected.

Pelicans are already done. Even if Davis somehow stays healthy until Tyreke and Jrue join the team, they clearly lack depth.

Bulls currently averaging the 2nd most points in the league and the #1 3p percentage. At least they’ll be able to say that for one week before it all comes crashing down.

The biggest asset about Mcgee is that he’s quick for his size, he can do a little bit of everything at his position and that’s what the Warriors are looking for. However, he doesn’t play under control enough to bring out his fullest potential. He needs to smooth out his game and play under precision.

Conley getting paid $158 mill to score 11 points and lose to the Knicks.

eh. griz are onna 4 games in 5 nights deal, so Fizdale had him onna minutes restriction last night…it is what it is, both teams played hard…the young guys are showing confidence they played big in extended minutes…we need allen and parsons back asap…and i’m drinking the kool aid of “the knicks might actually be decent this yr” so losing to them means nothing.

Jokic starting to live up to his potential. There’s just so many good centers this year.

Dion Waiters sucks. Cost us a huge opportunity at beating the Spurs.

I’m so fucking mad.

Westbrook is gonna average a triple double this year

Mavs aren’t bad. No idea why they’re 0-3.

4th quarter weakness plus too much old man ball

Still fucking mad Waiters cost us this game.

Clear to everybody now that Whiteside is our go-to guy. They’re finally giving him the ball in the post.

Great start to the season.
