Post three concerns for your team heading into 2016-17

[tlance]

1. Drummond's free throws
2. Reggie Jackson will continue to dribble for 23 seconds of the shot clock before a) jacking up a bad shot or b)passing to someone forcing them to jack up a bad shot
3. Morris may still be a better starting option at small forward than Stanley Johnson (I know you got it in you Stanley, get into the starting rotation).

bonus-I have to learn to pronounce Gbinije.

Pronounced like this:

Bin-u-jay

Know him since he was 14. Glad to see him make it. He is a good kid.

Middle syllable should be uh

Bin-uh-jay

Lakers:

None. I expect them to win a minimum of 74 games and sweep through the playoffs to win the title.

Anything less ain't worth my time.

Should I assume this is "just a prediction" from you?

1) Offensive continuity with the addition of Kevin Durant.
2) Team defense including interior defense.
3) Health.

Look at that, Sushi. You have all 3 of the Knicks concerns in your post as well. You thoughtful bastard, you.

Popovich doesn't appreciate your concerns, Rob.

[Eco]

1. Dwight Howard
2. Finishing in the 7-15th spot that tends to mean a wildcard draft pick, and no playoffs run.
3. Teague - Left Atlanta, now we have Denis, but can Denis handle being the #1 PG?​

 

[huskers1217]

Mavericks

1) Still no big name free agent wants to come here
2) Defense
3) Dirk is really really old now

 

[PnkPanther]

Twolves-

None, we're going to dominate


I take that back

Not enough minutes to go around with all of our talent

1. The bench. It will factor how fast these young guys improve and take their role. Mcrae and Felder mainly. Felder will probably have a bigger bench role. Then the other guys, including the veterans, we still need solid production from them also.

2. Injuries. This is pretty much for almost every team but it is a key to winning and takes a little luck at times.

3. Love. Will he have a breakout season and continue to improve bc regardless he still is a key to the team.

I'm happy Felder will be on the roster.

I think he, Zu-BLOCKA and Mccaw were the steals of the draft.

Kings

1. The roster.
2. The offense.
3. The defense.
4. Demarcus getting ejected 10 times during the season.
5. The head coach.
6. The replacement head coach they hire after the all star break.
7. The GM.
8. The owner.
9. Players getting injured hurting their chances to win 15 games.
10. Having to play all 82 games.

All lies. Just like the Warriors, the only concern is can you beat the Warriors in the 2017 NBA finals

That's all I could think of at the time, but there's probably 5-10 more I forgot about. I can't believe other people can keep their teams list to 3!

 

[The Q]

Celtics.....

1. Too many guards (trade one or two to the Sixers for a big guy)
2. Need a rim cleaner (Get one of the Sixers 5 or 6)
3. Need an athletic forward with an outside shot (Not Love)

Not bad.

Mine:

1) Can brooklyn stop screwing us over like they did this year?
2) Can they make a big deal, ideally around trading Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart?
3) Will it really matter since 1 big deal probably doesn't make them a finals team?

 

[The Q]

If the Nets were my team, the list would look like this:

1: Brook Lopez can't defend and he has a hard time staying healthy
2: nobody else can play
3: there is no light at the end of the tunnel thanks to the Pierce/KG trade.

2019 draft.

@Shaqdaddy11 is a lot of things. But I doubt she would hit your mother.......maybe.
