The 2015-16 NBA Thread

They got out worked and they abused love on pick and rolls. Bron came to play, they just couldn't compete.

[unclebengi]

I said last year it would have been worse in the finals if the Cavs had Love, there's your proof. The finals will be a shit show this year whether it's the Dubs or the Spurs.

[GUCCI CONDOMS]

is LeBron done... or just waiting for the 'offs?

kevin love is a shell of his former self

Something is just missing from bron's overall game since he left Miami...

teammates that buy in?

[alpha]

Lol, right?

Bron is fine. You're making up something that isn't there.

[unbelievable dickhead]

how many years in a row will this be the twolves story:

preseason: this could be a fun team, this will be an exciting team no matter what.
early season: god damn this team might be better than we thought!
mid season: wow, this team sucks
late season: this team needs to tank for a draft spot

[alpha]

Is that really the sentiment among fans already? Seems like they're heading on the right direction. You got Wiggins and towns, it could be worse.

Drummond taking 30 plus ft's last night. Silver gonna change that rule in the next two years guaranteed.

[alpha]

Hell naw, can't change a rule for less than a handful of guys who can't shoot free throws.

[Blockhead]

^I agree but silver is so concerned with the game as "something fun to watch" , it wouldn't shock me in the slightest.

The rule should absolutely be changed. How can anyone defend the hack-a-shaq strategy?

Nobody wants to watch that shit, bro. It just looks awful for the game. Free throws in general mess up the flow of the game, and the hack-a-shaq strategy only amplifies that problem.

Pretty much, the loophole allows teams that can't play defense a way out.

the losing is getting really old. I blame Sam Mitchell like everyone else, but it's more than that. We have no leadership. I no longer will be saying "wiggins will take the next step", "KAT will be in year 2", "we have an all star Euro stash" etc....

The tanking and draft picks are not the way to go. There needs to be an impact player involved

We have had double digit leads in 17 games and lost them all. Teams don't start playing until the 3rd quarter and I fear the losing will derail wiggins and Towns already seems to be assimilating into the loser culture

Not sure I follow you, if the player hits his free throws, there will be no reason to 'hack-a-shaq'

[unclebengi]

The tough thing about the NBA right now to me is I don't see any teams being able to touch the Dubs or Spurs for a while. They are SO much better than every other team and it's not because of one or two guys and it shouldn't change for at least a few years. The Thunder are the only team I can see "competing", but they don't play smart enough ball or enough team oriented ball to play with the well oiled machines in San Fran and San Anton.

I'm thrilled the 'cers have exceeded expectations this year, but I have no visions of a chip any time soon.

The Spurs and Dubs have evolved the game and the rest of the teams are lagging far behind.

Might as well line both teams up for a free throw contest to determine who wins.

Golden State ended David Blatt's coaching career in the NBA...

Lebron ended David Blatt's coaching career in the NBA...

Kerr back tonight. Walton has done an admirable job, but Kerr will get the most out of the bench and figure out the rotation.
and calling it now Draymond gets a triple double tonight vs the 'Cers

[Blockhead]

Lebron must support palestine or some shit.

Dude was useless. Not sure Lou going to be anymore effective tho.

[Ramen]

I just realized they gave Lue a 3 year deal, thought they tagged him with the interim. They expect people to believe this isn't premeditated?

I want Blatt to get hired as a coach for GSW so bad. Imagine if they met in the finals again. THE SCENES.

[Ramen]

LeBron hates his team.
