Around the NBA - September 2017 Edition

[JDC]

Yeah I think Minny is a lock to be top 7 offensively if healthy. They lack 3pt shooting but make up for it with 2 top 20 offensive players and what should be a ridiculous free throw rate. It's just a matter of how much Butler, Gibson and another year w/ Thibs can do to improve their D.

Teague & Towns' ability to defend pnr is the main question for them, but I think they have enough to be about average on that end.

Minn's offense isn't what caused them to blow all the leads last year they had entering the 4th quarter.

 

[KingSpeed]

Speaking of Gibson, when did he start swishing threes??

 

[H.C.]

I disagree. I'm not a fan of his and could care less really how he does. I think around draft time I was defending him as a player stickley because he reminded me of Kidd, but more because tons on here were hating on him because of his dads behavior. That mentality drives me nuts. I think he'll average maybe 12/6/8.....just guesses. Who knows with that squad, they'll suck so he'll have his chances.

You disagree that you wouldn't have been trolling a Blazer fan board for people thinking Lonzo is going to be a bust?
okay....
Saying how you were right and everyone else was wrong?
okay....
I don't care enough to go look up previous posts.

Start both!

Where I think the Clippers will suffer most is with the Refs. CP3 has a knack of getting calls at the end of games. Griffin and Deandre don't quite get as much respect.

Start both!

That would be the smart move but the coach won't bench his son this time around.

 

[Driew]

Too bad he's playing for a coach with little offensive creativity. Would love to see him play for a coach like dantonio or stotts. That would be fun to watch!

That's racist.

Please use your guru like level of enlightenment and explain why.

WTF does this have to do with basketball?

 

[SIeepwalker]

This LaVar guy is a f'n genius !

 

[Sinobas]

Please use your guru like level of enlightenment and explain why.

Oh come now Dviss, does one really need a logical reason to throw out an accusation of racism?

 

[Strenuus]

Sad to see all of them got duped. THERE'S STILL HOPE FOR YOU GUYS!

 

[0-Our!]

Wish I had watched the Fakers game last night. Lonzo's shot seemed to disappear.

Wish he'd disappear...

Those people are going to their seats. Tell that MF to move pout the way.

WTF Boston Started Hayward at the 2

 

[Chris Craig]

The Kings won and the Kings lost

 

[Sarni]

WTF Boston Started Hayward at the 2

I think he played there at Utah too. To be fair with Brown and Tatum round the corner and waiting for minutes I think he will also play quite some minutes at the 2 at Boston too, with Brown at 2/3 and Tatum at 3/4. It will be key for all three of them to play in two positions.

It's October now, you fine gentlemen are posting in the September thread.
