Anyone who tells you Ray Allen saved lebrons legacy, show them this.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 8:42am On Jun 19, 2019
FUN FACT: Ray Allen and Chris Bosh combined for zero points in game 7.

I think they need to change their style somewhat. And it starts with D'Antoni and James Harden. This roster is not that far away. They approached the Warriors series wrong and were defeatist with their excuses after Game 1. It would be a miracle if they found any takers for CP3's deal.

I actually think Capela's contract is one of the better contracts pound for pound. I wouldn't go out of my way to move him. The CP3 contract is the real issue
Thank you for saying the obvious. Kobe said it. They're style can't win them shít. Same goes with Westbrook and OKC. Except that it's more complicated with Houston. As you said, they should just do patch patch but I doubt they can achieve anything. Harden was having MVP season before CP3 showed up and he's stubborn. It'll be hard for him to buy into anything different from what he's used to.

All these old heads are delusional AF! Its like how people like to brag to children about how their generation was the greatest because of one reason or the other. They really think a team with Curry Klay Dramond and KD wont obliterate the 90s bulls because the bulls bullied an NBA era that can only be equated to a desert or a wasteland as far as talent. LOL! Like literally andre drummond would absolutely be a monster in that league. The way old people like to use revisionist history is funny AF!
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody:
There is no era, no league where the 90s bulls beat the san antonio spurs in their prime let alone the golden state warriors. yes i said it! The best finals opposition those clowns faced is john stockton and notorious choker and pedophile karl malone. These deluded old heads want us to believe because of that they're infallible? LOL! Larry Bird and Mchale used to whoop MJs arse, swept him every time they met, KD is a lot like larry only more skilled, add curry, draymond and klay to that. People really want us to think they wont thrive in that era because of physicality?


Very physical in deed LOL!

Yes, doesn't always work out though. Not every player is ready for the NBA from High School, few have excelled.

For me the whole point was why watch a movie when you know how its going to end?
any difference between players from high school and college?

Remember it's only 1 year of college that counts and we know how NCAA maltreats players, college basketball is bad for player development and it's not my personal opinion, many articles talking about how it ruined careers of young players, injuries, Maltreatment


LBJ, kobe were drafted straight from high school

Nothing special happens in college basketball that makes a player great

If LBJ met the kind of rivals MJ met, he would have 8 rings

And those pictures show part of why zonal defense was made legal because players like MJ would just go iso and kill the opposing team. Imagine if you can only guard players one on one in todays NBA. LOL!

They're all liars man, very few have any real inside scoop. Woj and Chris broussard are the few i actually listen to but even they falter sometimes.

The players grow physically and learn a little about responsibility and whats to come in the NBA. For every kobe/lebron/tmac/garnett there are a dozen more kwame browns out there. But i do agree that players should have that choice.

Houston's problem is purely stylistic and it starts with Harden. Does Harden want to go down as a regular season merchant or one of the true greats.

CP3's history is probably written but Harden can still rewrite his. And he better do so quick because he's already 30 and his decline could be swift just looking at the sheer volume of his usage.

I recall telling this infinitely ret@rded Bronsexual that the Heatles were armed to the teeth with talented shooters and he was foolishly arguing that Eddie House was the best of the lot even though they won after Eddie House left and Eddie House did zilch over there

Can't blame the nonce grin grin He was still busy rearing and shaggin donkeys in Funtua at the time so he couldn't have known who made the Heat tick

Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:05pm On Jun 19, 2019

i never thought of it like that, but it does make sense. But if CP3 cannot talk sense to him, who can? CP3's floor general skills have never been questioned in the NBA.

I fear Harden is actually delusional though...he was enjoying last season's scoring streak too much for my liking. I think we have a prima donna on our hands especially if Dantoni gets fired too.
Nothing worse than someone you don't respect critiquing you. Worse is CP3 seems like someone with an abrasive personality so he probably could have also gone about it the wrong way.

I think some blame goes to Mike D'Antoni as well. I heard he hates confrontation to a fault but this present Rockets setup needs to change and he just strikes me as someone scared to rock the boat

Surely Harden must know that his playing style needs to change if he ever wants to win a ring. Next season is season 11

Some people know themselves and learn only by experience. He has realized he is a number 2 now and hopefully he's at peace with that.

Kyrie thinks its everyones fault but him. He'll probably give that another go in Brooklyn. He's most likely not going to crawl back to lebron even if AD is one of his best friends.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 5:19pm On Jun 19, 2019
The only way the lakers can realistically build a good team after signing the 3rd star they are obviously chasing after apart from second round picks is to resign the players from last season which allows them to go over the soft cap. But who? Reggie Bullock, Rondo, KCP, Javale (definitely), and maybe lance, maybe bring melo on the veteran min too somehow. Those second round picks should be used for european snipers too.

Agreed. D’Antoni’s system can’t win the league since he only cares about one side of the ball. Recent report of problems between Harden and CP will not help them. CP3 is tradeable and they can find the right pieces (not necessarily max players) to contend with the Lakers for the NBA final. One thing I know for sure is that the current roster with D’Antoni in charge will not win the chip.

As expected grizzlies trade mike conley to the jazz. Great back court with mitchell.

And so it begins, the game of checkers in west. Like i have stated many times before, i expect these guys to make moves to try to catch the lakers but mark me, its all an exercise in futility. For while they play checkers, the king plays 3D chess.

Trading Conley was the logical thing to do considering they are going to draft Ja Morant as the no 2 overall pick. Move the contract, get good pieces like Jae, Korver, and Allen. Now the Jazz has to almost certainly move Rubio.

Yuup. Ja and JJJ looks very exciting. Its likely the Jazz will buy out korver in which case i will take him for the veteran min in a bench role. May be a defensive liability because of his build and age but hes till one of the best shooters in the league and of all time, and will give you as much of a defensive effort as anyone else.
