Distortedreasoning Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 congrats raptors. the warriors had been at it for what? 5 years of deep playoff runs. the most wear and tear out of all the teams and they finally succumb to injury. credit to the raptors for taking the opportunity and making history. the entire team step up and defended well. hope klay and kd recover well. now this offseason is gonna be one of the biggest ones for the league.

Satou Kazuma Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 lakers are desperate to relive to golden years, but with Lebron. seriously, 3 so-so supporters and 3 first rounders including this year's pick for Anthony Davis? that's a steep price to pay for a slingshot chance of winning a title next year. i do hope they crash and burn for the next decade or so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distortedreasoning Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) i think the pels should have probably waited to see if thats the best deal they could get for him. surely they could get something better than lakers unwanteds. i guess they still see potential in those players and they are around zions age which is a plus. lakers really couldnt wait to develop a young team once they got lebron. pairing him with davis is big. with the warriors out, they suddenly become contenders.

Hidden Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 no way kyrie goes back to lebron panda lol. thatd be crazy. this will be an interesting season though..im curious about how the ad/lebron duo will do..i havent watched AD play in a while but i know hes good..i wanna see how they fair against the rest of the west--and league for that matter. @Distortedreasoningyea the whole KD situation is tough..on the one hand, a star player saying he wants to play is sort of (sort of) something you have no control over--because he wants to deliver, and thinks he can change the flow of the game, but then on the other, hes injured, and do you want him to possibly be in worse shape after this game or series? i wouldnt. do you as a player want to be in worse shape after this game or series? i wouldnt. i feel like theres a bunch we dont know, and wont...from the first injury, it didnt look calf related at all, lol. looked like the issue was in his ankle, in other words the achilles...personally, i thought the whole "calf" thing was a cover up the warriors were using in an attempt to not worry fans, but maybe im overthinking it...i only thought that because it looked SO obvious it was achilles related--and then they come back and say calf? i was so thrown off by that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distortedreasoning Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 the players are always going to want to play. especially if you add in all the enormous pressure from all the outside sources and throw in the fact that they are playing for what they want most in their careers. if im the coaching staff, i would have never given the ok. but again they are all in a tough situation since you don't wanna be the person that held back durant from playing in the finals. same with thompson, there was no reason to let him back in. only to let him make a statement about how tough or how much heart he has isnt good enough. i kinda had my suspicion in the blazer series. i know they crushed us but he was slated to go back game 1 and they just kept pushing his return further back. thats when i knew it was much more serious. things were already starting to fall apart with iggy also going through nagging injuries. lucky for them klay was still good and so was iggy for the most part which are two very crucial players to the team. especially klay. the lakers obviously got the better trade right now but holy cow, they gave up their entire future for AD. if the lakers dont win they are so screwed! if i were them i get the one more star then just nothing but role players and very good back ups for both bron and davis. davis cuz he gets injured a lot and bron to let him rest more during the season. and yes they even have their selection of top point guards. i really hate the lakers, they mismanage their team for the last decade and what do they get? two of the top players in the league and a possible 3rd star to go along, without ever having to do a thing! i think the pels got a great deal. the lakers 4th pick in the first round probably sweeten the deal for them. then they get even more first round picks from them. good stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarPanda Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Pretty sure Houston traded CP3 for 2 reasons, there was some drama and they needed to make a move because they were being left behind by everyone else. Still Westbrook wont help them get anywhere near the finals, both him and harden need the ball. Someone is gonna have to sacrifice points and possessions but they can manage it they just need to be on the same page. Houston better cross their fingers. In the long run it could just be a step for Westbrook to go to LA lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's good because they were looking to ship Chris Paul anyway and probably got more than they expected to. Let me be clear, I love Chris Paul, he's an old school point guard that spreads the ball around and it's a pleasure to watch, but he's getting long in the tooth and the main reason it was a good move is because the guy is perpetually injured, he has a big contract to eat for how many games he misses. As far as Westbrook and Harden being successful together I think it's a toss up but it's definitely not going to win come playoff time, these two players put up huge numbers but really are the most overrated players in the game. We've seen enough to know Harden's iso style of play doesn't hold up in the playoffs as well and Westbrook is just a bad point guard imo, phenominal athletecism and defense but really bad at running point. Westbrook does a few things with the ball; midrange jumper, drive and score and drive and dish. This is going to benefit Capella just as it did Steven Adams in OKC but pretty much no one else. Harden will get his touches in for sure but no one is going to get the ball on this team except these three players and the only reason Paul George had success with Westbrook is because his defense gets him automatically involved in the offense so on a Westbrook team to have success you can either be another guard that holds the ball a lot, a center that gets inside, or be such a good two way player that it doesn't matter....the rest of the team are wallflowers. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distortedreasoning Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 pretty much what panda said, cp3 had some locker drama and his contract is really bad. maybe they will give westbrook a try in the d antoni system to see how he works. or he could be traded for a team with assets they need before the season starts. idk personally, if they can make it so westbrook passes the ball more, i can see an ugly two headed monster forming. chris paul was on the down hill of his career and has been injured most that time. yeah he can still ball but that contract sucks. and he gets injured a lot too. houston wins this trade big. but now the pressure is on them to bring a chip. the west just keeps getting dumber and dumber by the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hidden Posted July 13, 2019 Author Share Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) im just now finding out about all this drama. and here i was thinking they were cool all this time but yea thats where my head is at...how do they share the ball..how do the others get the ball...but then the west/harden duo wasnt terrible in okc if i recall correctly. idk. guess we'll see. if im looking forward to anything this season, its to the increased amount of teams i get to watch this time around. TNT shenanigans should be great too. Edited July 14, 2019 by Hidden 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distortedreasoning Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 the drama with chris paul only surfaced at the end of the season so not a surprise if you didnt hear it. i was surprised as well since it came seemingly out of nowhere after the nba season had ended. both harden and westbrook were very young when they were teammates but now they are in their primes and are better players than what they were when they were both in okc. i think the bigger task will fall with mike d antoni trying to make it work with the two of them. i think it could work but it will be very tough to keep both players happy. but lets say it does work, then i think its safe to say they will be contenders. all these moves during the off season were big. the landscape has changed so much. next season will be very interesting to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hidden Posted July 14, 2019 Author Share Posted July 14, 2019 ahh no wonder then. a few analysts are saying the same thing about d'antoni..some think the duo will be fine, but that d'antonis coaching style wont suit them. looking forward to the outcome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distortedreasoning Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 one thing for sure is next season is going to be crazy. the west is going to be at its most brutal yet with all these super teams. the east will be harder to evaluate but they got weaker as a whole thanks to kawhi moving out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distortedreasoning Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 im not even hoping this thing falls apart cuz you know it will. bron is on the decline and davis is very injury prone. i can easily see them missing bunch of games. then yeah get past green and the roster drops off considerably. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scope Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Giannis needs to work on recognizing when his drive is being shut down and read his options faster, it's become such a serious issue even the FIBA coaches are picking up on it, Toronto has given everyone a pretty good blueprint on it.

That's not necessarily a bad idea. lol (It's probably the worst I've ever heard, actually. Not because you said it, but because I wouldn't put it past the Lakers for trying something like that. Still, if they somehow manage to pull it off, we non-Lakers fans are all fucked.) As for DeMarcus Cousins, he's always been a drama llama, right? He's had issues since he came into the league at Sacramento. I still can't believe the Rockets even considered trying to land him. I mean don't get me wrong. That former Kentucky Wildcat can certainly ball. But if I were a GM, I wouldn't want to deal with all the baggage that came with him.
