2016 NBA Off-Season Thread

Buddy didn't have the greatest of games yesterday though but the kid sure can shoot

I hope he improves w/ every game but it's really a crap-shoot as far as CBB players going to the NBA. He put up a bunch of points but that doesn't mean much @ the NBA level.

I knew he'd taken advice from Kobe but c'mon man, lol

Needless to say Buddy was off last night. DID can one all the way from Century Boulevard, though...

Know the one you mean. Looong shot!

To be fair, from what I've encountered most Lakers fans are to Kobe as I am to James.
Obviously they support him as a player on their team, but they know he's pretty much a jerk otherwise.

One of my buddies is a life long Laker fan, but he became disinterested in the team when Shaq left because he absolutely detests Kobe.

Now he is excited about rooting for his team again since Kobe is gone. I think there are quite a few fans who can't stand him despite everything he accomplished.

It's pretty unheard of actually, i think a team hasn't won a game 7 on the road in like 25 years

I was referring to the Cavs winning game 6.

You guys see Harden redid his deal?

Marc Stein: Four-year max for James Harden equates to $118.1 million … $26,540,100 in Year 1 rising all the way up to $32,511,623 in Year 4

Guess he's a lot happier to stay with Dwight gone and a new head coach who knows as much about defence as he does.

I would let harden walk, ever since he was called out for his ref fouls treatment he has been terrible lol

Wow. Too bad he won't be sniffing a title in H-town anytime soon...

Remind you of anyone else?

 

[Heatles84]

And we still pulled it off

Which means we should be a lot better than last year, next year

A lot of people forget but that was kyries and loves first finals ever

What do you mean you pulled it off? You mean losing last year? Because that's what the reference was.

Jesus Christ you're a slow one.

 

[Heatles84]

U said last year but i realized after but didn't feel like changing it

Anyways, a lot of people agreed that the cavs would have swept 2015 this wasn't just me, although i just figured we would have won, but no sweep...Probably the same experts who are guaranteeing that gs is better than the cavs

No one has said this. Absolutely. Not. One. Single. Person.

As the old coaches and commentators reffered to it that's E-fense, cuz you won't find a lick of 'D'...

I already addressed this try scrolling down while u are desperately responding to everything i said

Yep. I wonder out of what orifice he pulled that fact from.

 

[Heatles84]

The championship monkey is off their back

Gs said they felt the pressure last year trying to be the greatest team ever, can u imagine the pressure durant and gs will be under next year...Anything less of a championship will be an utter and complete failure

Same could said of the Cavs. You think from here on out with that roster and Lebron on it that if they don't win it's all good? If so, I have a ski lodge West of Miami to sell you.

Don't know what that has to do with Lebron being unable to have a consistent jump shot. I could've sworn you get points from driving to the rim. You should probably quit now.

It won't be the same. I'm simply saying that he made the choice to assemble what many are now calling the greatest team ever considering the core player's ages. Anything less than an absolutely dominating season and a championship will be an utter failure (and in the eyes of many....a "choke job")

 

[Heatles84]

Thing is, the 'team to beat' will always have insufferable fans. Heck, I remember when the Lakers were tearing the league up, the ESPN boards were full of so called Laker "fans". Fast forward six years and the true die-hard guys are still repping their team even after an abysmal 17 win season.

Betcha NONE of the cavs fans on this board will still be here once lebron becomes obsolete and the cavs are back in the lottery year after year (will happen sooner than most will believe)

You'll see how guys like @TurnUpTheHeat , @bksballer89 , @Flauge, @avalon2423 , and myself are true fans of the Heat. The Heat are looking to be downright miserable this year.

But yeah, team hopping is weak shit. Stay with one team through the thick and thin, makes the high points much more enjoyable than the lows. Unless you're a fan of the Kings or 76ers, then you have an excuse. Sorry, @Bolts
