2018 NBA offseason

[msgkings322]

Three long-term injuries to three guards and the season hasn't even started. The Spurs' last three first round draft picks have all sustained injuries in the past 3 preseason games.

This team is cursed. I'm convinced.

Cursed with too little room in the trophy case I guess.

"Shut the hell up" - fans of every other team but the Lakers, Celtics, and Warriors.

So what you're saying is you don't want a # 23 Lakers jersey for Christmas?

we'll, you can send me the cash you were gonna burn on one. I'll buy it myself... (crosses fingers behind back), I promise...

 

[DJ]

Derrick White out 6-8 weeks for the Spurs with a heel injury.

I'm speechless at this point. I don't know what to say.

It's the Leonard curse.....he hired a voodoo guy.

If Pop gets this bunch to the playoffs, He's a shoe in for Coach of the year.

I bet Lonnie will be back around January.

Not sure about the other two.

How about reaching out to a Jamal Crawford?

Man, I just realized that Slo Mo will be missed even more with the lack of playmakers.

Ps. Some decent bargain guards will be available in the next few days when teams are forced to trim rosters.

All is not lost.

 

[DJ]

has Hell frozen over yet...?

can you go there and gimme a weather report...?

#imnodickridingsellout

If bringing in James results in a title.....you aren't invited to the parade.

 

[DJ]

Who was the 3rd guard to get hurt?


If DeRozan goes down.....it's a wrap on the Spurs season.

 

[Mecca]

i told you i would bet Ingram does not get to 18 ppg. If you want to make a bet on that because DJ wouldnt I would be happy to

So, what's the bet?

I see Brandon as the leading candidate for Most Improved.

Chriss is my dark horse, depending on how he's used.

Starting PG, Dejounte Murray, White, Walker.

As for Demarr?

He's their best player...imo.

So, obviously they are lost if he falls.

But, isn't that true of every NBA roster not named Celtics, Warriors?

If Ingram scores 17.99999 or less ppg I win

If Ingram scores 18.0 ppg or more you win

We will have to think of the terms....should be something good.

@TurnUpTheHeat

Wtf?

Coast to coast and shooting 3's?

Is that what you want as a Heat fan?

 

[WiggyRuss]

@TurnUpTheHeat

thats what I would LOVE to hear if I was a Heat fan lol

This asshole saying "I can go coast to coast and shoot 3's"

what a joke.

What I would have ACTUALLY loved to hear him say is "I am willing to do whatever it takes for the team to win- whether thats sacrificing shots and not going for blocks as much, working on my conditioning and athleticism so i can guard on the perimeter so i am not so useless against small lineups"

Instead- I can go coast to coast and shoot 3's.

Its just so humiliating.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Wtf?

thats the exact fucking thing i was thinking

I want Whiteside to say "Last year I was hurt and I let it get me down and my attitude wasnt what it should have been. I am working hard on doing whatever the coach wants me to do to try and win games. I am willing to sacrifice shots, blocks, whatever it takes, to try and help this team win"

instead--- " I can go coast to coast and i can shoot 3's" its a fucking joke. This guy is just so clueless. On his NBA Live ratings his "Awareness" rating should be -10000000000000000000000000000000000000.00

He got permission from the team to shoot 3's. Been working on it all summer.

The coast to coast thing isn't happening but I can see him getting a few looks from 3 in a game.

I don't know.

I understand that's were teams want their bigs to evolve into.

But, this is some Dwight Howard type fuckery.

I could totally see his undisciplined ass attempting some Shit like this.

I'm guessing Hassan must have been joking.

Be Gobert, Jordan with a better scoring punch.

Don't try to be Boogie, Embiid.

 

[bksballer89]

This would be pointless as he already has done that. He avg 1.7 blocks per game last year. Lowest total by far since coming to Miami. Attempting 2 fewer shots per game than the previous season.

 

[bksballer89]

I'm guessing Hassan must have been joking.

I know they gave him permission to shoot 3's. I'm not expecting him to get several attempts up per game. In 4 preseason games, he attempted two 3's total.

Wow.....ok.

Riley and Spo know better than me.

So, I guess that's what he has to do to get minutes.

Okay I got it! Since you refuse to get a LeBron jersey how about a Lakers jersey w/ Papa Ball's face on the front & back?
