2023 offseason thread

Harden and Irving are in the same club for sure, I think it’s called the “F all ya club”.

Well for Harden home is the strip club. Who knows where Irving goes, some place flat I guess.

I find it very difficult to believe he (or anyone) isn't just trolling with the flat-earther crap.

He's a better half a player though, in a league full of players that don't play much defense (especially scorers). Are you really trying to equate these two?

I am only using your rules. I wouldn't call Herro half a player because he's not a good defender and is sometimes hunted on D. You did that. If you want to be consistent and adhere to your "rules" that makes Lillard half a player.

You are getting sucked into DTFoolsGold's nonsense....LOL.

see if you can be an adult and not worry about who posted something.....do you think Tyler Herro is half a player because he is sometimes hunted?

Calling a solid to really good player half a player because not the best defender is what is foolish here.

But maybe if you behave and ask nicely Hopson will let you stay up past your bedtime tonight. OK...at your age that might not be what you want.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Who is Hopson?

You're telling somebody else to be an adult?

My rules lol. Isn't defense half the game, or by YOUR rules only offense counts?

I amend my statement then. If Lillard is half a player, Herro is less than half a player. Better?

I don't know if he's referencing me or the butler from Arthur lol (although that technically would be Hobson).

 

[trojanfan12]

Yep, hard to be the alpha when your team (including Lebron) isn't getting you the ball enough to be that guy. He's reliant on his teammates giving up the ball. Besides, some guys just don't have that personality to be an alpha.

And AD may not be an alpha. In fact, I lean towards him not being an alpha. I just think it's hard to say that he definitely isn't when Lebron is on the team.

I would like to see him demand the ball more. Like you said, he has to depend on others to get him the ball. But you also rarely see him demand the ball. A player at his level can do that.

It's fine when his teammates are hitting their shots. But when they aren't, he should be demanding the ball.

The guy is pure comedy.

1/3 or 1/4 of a player?

Are we taking about Harden?

I will be honest, this article gives me some warm fuzzies. If Brown felt this way when we lacked out best Perimeter D player and NAZ then maybe I am wrong and this team will totally work out no problem.....CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!

Considering he's never been a full time starter? Not sure. Considerably less than Dame though.

What can he base that on? They lost one to the Wolves (in OT), two to the Suns, none to the Lakers, and one to the Heat. However, average margin of victory was 8.8 vs the Wolves, 9.5 vs the Suns, 6 vs the Lakers, and 8.2 vs the Heat. By either measure, the answer isn't the Wolves IMO.

So there it is, it's his personal struggle defending Edwards, not team struggle with the opponent overall. Makes more sense.

HEY! I get like 2 days a year I get to feel good about my team, you fuck right off with this negativity until tomorrow.
