2021 NBA Offseason

[The Q]

Sorry, I'm not watching a 2 1/2 hour game turn into a 4 hour game. No thanks.

At least we’re not properly calling travels abs carries. Than a 2.5 hour game would become a 2.5 day game

So in other words this is the jump under a different name? Got it lol

Our Team Turnaround prediction is simple. Which team is poised to bounce back or improve the most in 2021-22?

The Golden State Warriors, who won their last title in 2018, top this list as their Big Three of Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson look to reunite back on the court later this season. The Miami Heat, finalists from two seasons ago, come in second as new additions Kyle Lowry and P.J. Tucker look to put South Beach back in the championship contender spotlight.

1. Golden State Warriors: 39 points (30.0% first-place votes)

2. Miami Heat: 26 points (10.0% first-place votes)

3. Chicago Bulls: 21 points (20.0% first-place votes)

4. Boston Celtics: 17 points (10.0% first-place votes)

5. Los Angeles Lakers: 15 points (5.0% first-place votes)

6. Toronto Raptors: 14 points (5.0% first-place votes)

7. Minnesota Timberwolves: 12 points (10.0% first-place votes)

8. Indiana Pacers: 10 points (5.0% first-place votes)

I know I am in the minority here---- and I like Lowry to a certain extent even though every time the Cavs played him in the playoffs he gagged- but I just think a 6'0" 35 year old point guard might not be the humongous differenec maker so many people are hyping him to be.

I guess we shall see.

Dragic was hurt a ton---- but at the end of the day is Lowry a hugely significant upgrade over Dragic? I think Lowry is better, but, at least when Dragic was healthy- i always thought he was good.

such a weird game @bksballer89

who would have guessed a dominating win vs. the Packers, and then getting dominated by Carolina?

NFL is a strange strange place.

it will be interesting to see who the real Jameis Winston is- if he is closer to the Green Bay Winston or the Carolina Winston.

Why all that mattered for our team was get a W.....NO and some others who were world beaters week 1 laid an egg week 2.

Yes, that's the point. Wasn't meant as a slight to your team specifically......NO was the one that came to mind. There were others, and this happens week to week.

Yeah you dont get a good read on most teams for at least 4-6 weeks imo

agree......and even after 4-6 weeks there will be surprises. Many of them.

Nearly their entire coaching staff being on the Covid list may have been a factor....

It's going to be interesting. His talent is undeniable. His issue has always been that he's reckless. For, likely the first time in his career, maybe in his life, that is being addressed. But it's going to take some time and for awhile at least, when games are going the way the Carolina game was, he's going to revert to old habits.

It's like the Jets coach said about Zach Wilson..."It's okay to win a boring football game".

I think a lot of the Saints success for this year will be determined by how quickly Sean Payton can coach the recklessness out.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Did you watch the game?

no. I watched the Browns and then had shit to do.

I read that Winston was under pressure a lot of the game, especially after getting down early, and that the Saints might have an issue with a lack of playmakers on the outside.

If you get protection then people will get open. Simple

They're not going to score 7 points every week
