2016 NBA Off-Season Thread

[Hambombs]

fans of every fanbase say everything... who cares.

I dont care really.

The league just got a little bit lessened even as it moves forward to greater things and new heights.
I understand the passage of father time, but it just doesn't have the same feeling.

I knew it was coming, but it is still a tough bittersweet pill to swallow.
I literally don't remember a time when my team did not have Dave or Timmy leading the roster.

I was hoping that he would relent, and enjoy a victory lap as well.
It is everything against his character and demeanor, but just maybe.....
Oh well, congrats!

I don't think we will ever see one like him again.
And that is literal. We will not see him.
He will disappear, and briefly make an appearance in 5 years at the Hall of Fame then disappear forever.

Yeah....Tim Duncan's aren't exactly growing on trees. Very unique player for someone so basic in terms of fundamentals. If that makes sense.

I could not be happier that he's gone.

When does Pop and Manu leave now?

Yeah, the Kobe farewell tour was a lot of fun. But for Timmy to do something like that, would be completely out of character. He spent his whole career as arguably the most overlooked all time great ever. No reason to change that now.

Totally doesn't feel like this commercial was so long ago...

Yep. Perfect way to end a damn near perfect career.

 

[Kold]

Haha, Duncan is really gonna out in the most Duncan way ever

 

[gordontrue]

I really think Kay Felder is going to have a signifigant role with the cavs this season.

Watching him in summer league, he reminds me a little of Norris Cole in terms of how comfortable and at ease he is out there as a rookie.

No nerves, no trying to force anything... just running the offense, making sound decisions.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Impossible. Cavs fans are the classiest bunch and we're all just hating ass haters because we don't gargle Lebron's balls. At least that's what they keep telling us.

So far the only person saying a Cavs fan pushed him is his dad... who wasn't even there.

Its possible, of course, and hopefully their investigation will uncover the truth (seems likely with the number of witnesses and cameras available).


Whatever happened.... its stupid to try and project an incident like this onto an entire fanbase.

I know.
First of all, the drinking is the problem in general.
Sober fans don't act that way.

I'm just surprised it wasn't the other way around.
Warriors lost and it was in their building.

 

[Shanemansj13]

The champagne comment is nothing. Cavs fans were all saying "fuck steph curry" at the parade. I never heard us say "fuck lebron" at the parade

Well he did throw his mouthpiece at a fan. And yes, that comment was kind of a big deal. Cockiness. No to mention Klay said they were better than the Showtime Lakers before they even won a second title.

They booed Lebron every time he got the ball lol

 

[trojanfan12]

They booed Lebron every time he got the ball lol

They booed the opposing teams best player?!? What a bunch of thugs.

He can score the ball, will have to work on shot selection but still very young obviously. He is a much better passer than I realized. McRae can fill it up too and he can get to the stripe a lot.

Thugs lol. It is just unneccesary IMO. We get it you don't like him, move on and watch the game lol

 

[trojanfan12]

Yes. God forbid fans should boo an opposing player.

 

[Bolts]

Yes. God forbid fans should boo an opposing player.

I think it's the booing everytime part that is unnecessary, might as well save your energy on cheering for the home team.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Yes. God forbid fans should boo an opposing player.

Cavs fans are just accustomed to booing their OWN players.

 

[LogicMan]

I can still imagine Pitino's face when they realized they would not be getting Tim Duncan in Boston. Classy dude

Not a surprise at all Klay would say that, he's a very cocky dude. I remember him skipping out on shaking hands after losing game 7, I might not like Green but at least he stuck around for that.
