The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

[dtgold88]

I am talking in game adjustments and I rarely saw him switch to a zone if man was an issue, for example. We saw Atkinson do this in game 3. I already gave JB credit but if you read my reply, he had a clear ceiling as a coach in Cleveland. If you watch the games you saw this. The offense and players were not evolving or playing to their strengths. Coaches are paid to put the players in position to win right? It seems like you are just disagreeing just to disagree. I never said he was a bad coach, never even said he was average but the team had a ceiling with him as HC. Never said Atkinson was perfect too but I saw things working in this offense I never saw with JB.

Also, JB is more of defensive mind. I think it is fair maybe the Cavs just needed a better offensive minded coach. I think that is very fair

You are thinking, what, if only he made better adjustments we win how many more games than the 99 they won the last 2 seasons (despite a ton of injuries in one of them)? Never mind the year we doubled our wins when over-under was 27.5 and also had a ton of injuries to derail the season.

and you are claiming your point is made with 3 early season wins against awful teams? something tells me if JB coached those games it's "these are bad teams...let's see what we do against better competition.

Most comical in this is his critics used his adjustments against him last season. Guy loses Garland and Mobley, figures things out and we keep winning and is he given any credit? Nope....it's "he needed injuries to make these adjustments"

as to your last comment...again, the move is fine and maybe a change is the way to go. Never seen a team expected to do anything coached by atkinson overachieve like ours did. Hoping this is the first.

Looks like the denial of the Clippers demise could be very premature

You just hate Harden.....

No I hate no man, but Flagg might be good enough to crack the Thunder lineup. That’s my interest at the moment.

Looks like the Clippers demise was greatly exaggerated.

It’s been 3 games

Clippers history is against them on this with terrible moves like pg13 and trading an unprotected first for a salary dump when you were already in the lottery

But they have a chance to turn the corpses of coffey tucker and bones into salary relief for a team with a plan for this summer

And they need to find that option

 

[shopson67]

He wanted the experience. Good for him.

Embiid dominated last December. That's 5 months too early. He doesn't need to start his season until March/April.

Poor Embiid. Put him in bubble wrap not to be opened until April. Maybe they'll wring enough out of him to advance a round.

All I know is there is obviously something that has happened that is not being reported. That’s how the Sixers operate though it seems.

 

[shopson67]

Cannot wait for Vandy, Wood and Reddish to return.

3 key players off the bench to help us get better since that is a weakness right now.

Well, maybe not Reddish. Can't wait for him to get dumped elsewhere to open up a roster spot lol.

 

[shopson67]

That doesn't look like D-Wade.

How is it that in the era of computer scanning the statues are getting worse? It's not as bad at Fitz' bust in the commercial at least, lol.

 

[shopson67]

They had more time on their hands

We also have no idea how the models for those statues actually looked, lol.

Yeah they have some solid role players but I said if Kawhi gets injured for an extended time it wouldn't shock me if they were in the lottery

True, but I’m still betting they were better back then. If you insulted the wrong person back then you got stoned and I’m not talking the good stoned. That’s motivation to get pretty good lol.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

We missed you

Good win.

HIMmy Butler revenge SZN?

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Dude, this doesn’t even concern you. It was a joke with @Mecca of the “B” Team. Butt out or don’t be a bitch lol.

It would be poetic and very Clipperesque…lol

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

He quit the site.

Are you being serious?

Yeah. They need to turn those guys into reinforcements even if it’s paying for a second year

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Early observations..

Lakers look good.

Celtics look great.

Thunder look terrifying.

Maxey is a fucking STUD.

Chet gonna make the Allstar team.

Harden is looking anti-sloth.

Dillon Brooks needs a psych eval.

Bucks might have to make a move and that move might need to include a clearly miserable Dame.

 

[thunderc]

Are you being serious?

Yup for now anyway. I’ve started posting outlandish, for me lol, things about the Sixers trying to lure him back. I will say we have a new sixer poster that I still have my eye on lol.
