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

Hopefully, Kerr keeps West out on the court because he’s getting abused by Tarik and Nance.

No lead is safe against GS, Lakers need to continue to pound them inside. They’re just too small against our bigs.

Clarkson is dumb. He drew two defenders, Randle was open to the basket. Instead he airballs a fadeaway. Shit like that is preventing the Lakers from reaching the next level. They need to trust each other more.

Too small. They are getting pounded in the paint, that needs to continue and Klay needs to stay ice cold

Which is why I always advocated for him to go to the bench, he can be a black hole and a lazy defender.

Yo wtf is going on with this Lakers game.

Russ is having good game. He’s made some tough shots, but the biggest thing of all is 0 turnovers. This dude was a turnover magnet last couple of games.

They tried to run with the Warriors and lost the lead. They gotta stick to the formula, these guys are so explosive

Looks like GSW spent all their energy on the Thunder last night.

We caught these guys just at the right time. Curry didn’t make a 3, Klay was ice cold, and we pounded them in the paint. They aren’t going to 5-30 from 3 next game.

This bench mob is real. Top 3 in the nba without question right now.

considering starters barely played in the 4th i don’t think that’s a good excuse.

warriors were just off, and lakers had some crazy shots whenever they needed to stem the tide.

and they are just a good team to utilize the “beat gsw” blueprint: get size going towards the basket at all times and out hustle them on the glass. they have the right players to do it with the youth movement.

tim roye, the warriors radio guy, was spot on when he pointed out warriors have gotten blown out by the lakers at least once each year since the lakers have gone down hill and the warriors stock was rising. lakers have the ability to just muscle up and blow out the warriors regardless of who’s on either team.

Holy shit the Lakers are gonna be nba champs

Its too early for all that, we have to face a good team before we can judge this season.

Some of the audience booing rose are just classless. Him and jo were really motivated. Made me miss them. Just wished the other bulls matched it. Wasted effort from jimmy and wade.

Agree they need consistent effort and the 2nd unit needs to play better.
Still not happy bout their defense, but who would’ve known wade would turn into ray allen over the summer.

So lately it feels like Alex Len is the latest whooping boy for the Suns fanbase (last year it was Brandon Knight). Len has been looking pretty good in recent games, but is it too late for the Suns to extend him? It’d be a shame for him to go just as he finally starts hitting his stride.

Good win last night. Booker and Warren went off and we’re getting better at finishing off in the clutch which is something that killed our 2014-15 campaign.

Alex Len fell victim to Suns trying to sign Aldridge by signing Chandler. Now they have to justify Chandlers contract and Len is left in limbo.
