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

Dude, we always find a way to lose and even when we fight through those ways, the refs completely screw us on several occassions.

Embiid though. He just needs to cut out the late game TOs. He’s clearly the early favorite for ROY. He’s completely unstoppable when he’s on the floor. Can’t wait until he and Jah’s minutes restrictions are lifted and Simmons comes back.

Bye Nerlens.

After that Cleveland game, I’m convinced Noel is getting traded by the deadline.

He’d be so dope coming off the bench - but he’s too young to accept that type of minutes reduction, so I don’t blame him for wanting out.

Yeah Sixers are definitely better off keeping Nerlens, athletically him and Simmons can be more dangerous in the open floor than Okafor

We can’t get anything for Jah though - nobody wants him for a fair price. If he doesn’t develop some type of mid-range, facing the basket game he’s gonna end up like Greg Monroe. The bright side is that it’s clear he’s been working on it.

I feel bad because you guys REALLY wanted Russell. I heard Toronto or Brooklyn may trade for Noel

Indiana is inconsistent as fuck.

Nobody is talking about the Hornets. They’re second in the east and dropped 43 first qtr points on the Pacers tonight.

Because their record is faux. They’ve beaten the Nets, Heat, Sixers, and Bucks. And now the Pacers. Every single one of those teams have been average or below so far.

Nice bounce back game. Orlando owned bulls a couple of seasons ago.

Their schedule toughens up. If they can beat either the Jazz or Raptors in these next two games they should be given some credit

Knew this was a loss as soon as I saw we had to play against Westbrook, but wow. I thought Spoelstra turned a corner, but I guess not. Derrick Williams still hasn’t played a single minute this season.

Blake Griffin with 10-4-6 in the first quarter. Damn.

Well hot damn, Steph.

Greek Freak is averaging 21 ppg, 8 rpg, 6 apg, 2 spg, and 2 bpg. Shit is ridiculous.

I don’t know who is benefitting more from playing PG, him or Harden. Harden already has 4 games with 15 assists.

good to see curry still has a “fuck you” mode after tossing up garbage against the lakers.

I’m mor3 impressed with CP3 making 5/5 three pointers. WTF.

The Warriors are always a hot hand away from taking over the game, there was time when you would try to stop Curry and prey Klay Thompson didn’t catch fire, but that’s over with now that Durant is in the lineup. Who do you want to beat you? Durant? Curry? Thompson? They shoot the 3 at a high percentage, they have no problem cutting into huge deficits.

It looks like Harden is still working out the adjustments at the point. His stats are optimized but he’s also averaging 5 turnovers a night, 8 over the victory against the Wizards.

1.5m for 3 months - not bad Josh.

As for GSW, there’s still a lot to worry about. Steph hits 13 threes and they were only up 6 going into the 4th and only won by 10. Versus the Pelicans.
