Around the NBA - August 2017 Edition

[BonesJones]

Ya because that's going to really help Dame &CJ get into championship contention.

If there was a move possible to get them into championship contention, don't you think Olshey would do it?

 

[dviss1]

don't you think?

FTFY

 

[BonesJones]

I think this guy is my favorite non-Blazer:

I see some of these plays and wonder... Why can't Harkless do some of this? It seems like Harkless is always off-balance when he's driving while Giannis is always on-balance and is able to weave and sidestep his way wherever he wants to go.

Harkless needs to study Giannis.

 

[BBert]

I have resigned to the belief that the only way we get there is if Swanigan turns into Z-bo and Collins into Kevin Mchale.

Over the summer

Moe does these plays all the time. He doesn't have the role Giannis has or we'd see it more. Also Giannis has WAY better handles.

So what your suggesting is more developing from our youth movement?

 

[Minstrel]

So Melo to Minnesota. Did not see that coming.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Just realized that I started a thread without starting a thread (specifically this one). No wonder people accuse me of starting too many threads.

Giannis also has a more competitive drive to be something special.

Apparently he waived his "no career in the NBA" clause.

 

[Minstrel]

Giannis also has a more competitive drive to be something special.

If we want to compete, we need more vets like Giannis and to stop focusing on developing young players like Harkless.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Do you think that when you look at Kevin Durant?

Having said that, Mo is the Blazer player who has the most untapped potential, I think. Likely it will remain that way. The reason he's bounced around is that he just doesn't have that drive.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

The reason he's bounced around is that he just doesn't have that drive.

Bounced around? To all of 2 teams?

Your right!

Bounced around? He's on his 2nd team who re-signed him to a 4 year deal...

 

[dviss1]

Your right!

You fell for it. Giannis isn't a vet.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

You fell for it. Giannis isn't a vet.

Minstrel's sense of humor is a bit dry.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Bounced around? To all of 2 teams?

Bounced around? He's on his 2nd team who re-signed him to a 4 year deal...

But you've got to admit: he's bouncy.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

But you've got to admit: he's bouncy.

I wouldn't know--I've never jumped on him.

 

[Strenuus]

Your right!

I mean, the computer can't even get the right "your".

Is this a DOS machine?

The BGD bot was programmed by Sly. That says it all right there!

No, because Kevin Durant is a shooter. Giannis is a slasher and is a closer resemblance to Moe.

KD CAN shoot but calling him a shooter is selling him short. He slashes plenty.

*sigh* yeah I guess...

[-Ace-]

Probably wanted to show Dirk how he put him in the blender.

I tell you what, every time I see the replays of that move by CJ I get goosebumps. Whoever it was responsible for that...... props to that bad ass motherfucker!

Alright Steve Bannon (someone will get this reference).

You did good kid. You did good.
