2017 NBA Offseason Thread

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

remember that "biggest midget" statement you made for both L.A. teams a season ago...?

didn't know you were a prophet...

Yeah, who gives a shit about beating the Lakers if we are a 1st round out every year. But, have the 3rd highest payroll?

It's fun until 5 minutes after the game. Then you remember you're just the taller midget...lol

I thought he went back to Cleveland to mentor youth?

Maybe they meant to say Mentor, Ohio?

He did. Lebron the player was actually looking forward to it and felt that he was in a place in his career where he could give back to the younger guys. It was a truly noble and selfless gesture on his part.

But then Lebron the GM went and traded away that youth for veterans.

You back in Civilization yet?

Yep. Got back yesterday. Thankfully, it was just an 1 overnight trip.

This is....wow.

Those loses didn't have anything to do with Westbrook and his horrific shot selection, huh?

The fact that Ibaka didn't do his part wasn't a factor?

Naaaaaa, this is all because Durant dogged it because he was already out the door, mentally?

If and when Paul leaves the Paper CLips, I will be sad. But, will wish him well.

*I dont care if Blake leaves *

I never want to come off as nonsensical, bitter and entitled as you do in this post.

I guess we forgot about this:

Great video and all....Now pull up the video of Westbrook 4 turnovers in the final 5 minutes of that game also but yeah KD was the only one who "choked" because 4 turnovers in the final 5 minutes in game 6 of the WCF doesn't matter lol

Actually 3. But if you watch closely.. the refs missed Draymond hitting Westbrooks arm on one of the turnovers.

So 2 legit turnovers.

Shot 10-27 in that game. Nearly as bad as KD but yeah let's just blame KD lol....Makes sense

I am blaming him.. he choked! As did Westbrook.

 

[bksballer89]

Point is only blaming KD for G6 last year is not very smart. Russ had a lot to do with it as well and their head coach also.

 

[Heatles84]

So basically the entire Thunder team choked in 2016.

Your analysis of the game should make every analyst in sports quake in their loafers.

 

[Shanemansj13]

It came down to KD not being able to win with his still already championship contending team. He just couldnt do it.

I am not only blaming Kd.. but he was part of that choke job.

it was all KD's fault. haven't you been paying attention...?

guess it's a good thing he's got that ring this season. imagine the reprisal if he came up short...

 

[Black Adam]

as has already been pointed out, he might've been PART of the choke job, but he was FAR from the only culprit...

Well I blame the top brass in the Oklahoma organization for letting some of the best players in the NBA slip through their fingers because they were too cheap to pay them. Had they kept them and found a coach to get them to work together, they would have won multiple championships

the story behind OKC's demise is almost sad. ownership simply too cheap to keep their key components together...
so yep, if ANYONE'S to blame...
