R.D. Mangles posted:it's been like a month and the three alphas is still the funniest poo poo in the world to me I'll be at the game Thursday and going to do my best to buy a 3 alphas t-shirt. Haven't seen one in the team store yet but some savvy businessman will hopefully be selling them outside the gates.

I think the Warriors will easily win the title but if they choke it will be one of the funniest moments in the history of the NBA.

EvanTH posted:Noah seemed really useful and good and was always doing great stuff off-ball and setting up good plays and Rose was pure garbage. Started hitting a lot of shots then kept taking idiotic looks and finished the game on like a 1-9 run and his passes weren't really where they should have been So things haven't changed. Derrick Rose has sucked for years now. He comes in to the season out of shape, never learns the actual offense, and constantly tells people he's still elite and everything is going to fall into place at any moment. His first few years here were a blast but I'm so glad he's gone.

The Nets could have had Damian Lillard but decided half a year of Gerald Wallace on a non-playoff team was better.

sba posted:Is it weird that I got into the NBA and finally caved to League Pass because of the social media aspects of it?? Half the fun of the NBA is it's aimed at a younger audience and doesn't take itself as seriously as other sports. The league doesn't mind their players actually having personalities.

Gar Forman's vision of building a team for 80's era NBA and Fred Hoiberg's offense centering around bad 3-point shooters chucking up threes at the end of the shot clock has prevailed tonight. Also Isaiah Canaan sliding right into that Tony Snell role.

euphronius posted:McW at the .... 2? Boston has small guards so it wasn't that bad to go with two big guards and post them up. Plus they had MCW crashing the boards on offense and got some boards. The rotations were surprisingly decent. I was about to credit Hoiberg but I just assume the alphas were calling the shots.

Spacebump posted:He was later quoted saying he probably would have resigned with Denver if they didn't trade him due to them being able to offer the most. He was also "seriously considering Chicago, Houston, and LA" in free agency. And he was open to being traded to the loving Nets. I don't think any of it was true. He wanted to play for the Knicks and only the Knicks.

IcePhoenix posted:Can someone who was paying more attention to the game than I was tell me why Dunn didn't play in crunch time last night? Not sure if this is the case but if you don't do what Thibs wants you to do defensively, you won't play much. The minutes he used for the Bulls his first couple months were strange but made a point.

Paul Zuvella posted:The Rose trade was not a bad move, though. Also I know people actually do blame Melo (they are idiots) but what I'm saying is that its the Knicks fault for doing the Melo Trade. Obviously it is hindsight, but I'm pretty sure time has shown that to be a bad move. Rose trade is pretty bad. Gave up 2 assets for a bad PG making $21m.

R.D. Mangles posted:this bulls team really seems like a ponzi scheme, like we'll wake up one day and butler's on the heat and we're left with doug and mcw and four guys from the hoffman estates team The Bulls are pretty bad. Soft early schedule and some guys shooting well above their average helped them to get off to a 3-0 start. Tonight kind of showed who they are. A terribly coached team with pieces that will never fit together. Hoiberg actually started the forth with Canaan, Wade, McBuckets, Niko, and Portis. The Knicks scored easily on every single possession with them on the court. It's been awhile since I've seen a coach this bad in the NBA.

Oh and how lovely is Denzel Valentine that he can't even get in the rotation on this team? Good lord has Forman whiffed on drafts. He's turned his last 6 first round picks into Marquis Teague, Tony Snell, Doug McDermott (he used 2 firsts to get McDermott), Bobby Portis, and Denzel Valentine. McDermott looks to be the only one who could be in a good team's rotation (barely!) and that's only if the matchup was right.

Hand Row posted:MCW looked like the same terrible shooter high turnover machine. Why do you think he looked good? He's not good but I think Bulls fans were happy that he isn't Jerian Grant who has no business in the league. But those are the perks of being related to the assistant GM.

schmitty9800 posted:But Forman's best moves only happened because Wade was bitter and decided to come home, and because Butler decided to not bet on himself. Wade came here because the Bulls were the only team dumb enough to pay him $50 million over the next 2 seasons.

Three alpha self-destruction is maybe starting. Butler called out the team the other night and then had this to say. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/basketball/bulls/ct-bulls-up-and-down-start-spt-1107-20161106-story.html quote:"Some guys just switch when we're not supposed to switch," Butler said. "I know who is supposed to be switching and who's not. When that happens, don't nobody know what to do because that's not in the game plan, I can tell you that. We didn't prepare for it." Rondo is the guy who is loving up by the way.

Having watched a few Knicks games this year I think they should use Porzingis much more. He's clearly their second best offensive player and Rose shoots way too much.

Paul Zuvella posted:Also to bring it back to the KD/Barnes chat; It wasn't losing Barnes that was a big deal with acquiring KD. KD is literally better than Barnes at every single part of the game. Bogut has been trash this year so I don't think this year's version of him would be helping the Warriors all that much. Also can't believe how many people freaking out over the Warriors losing a couple games where they clearly weren't playing that hard on defense. This is like the Heat team from a few years ago. Everyone picks apart their flaws after a loss but when the playoffs come around, rotations tighten, and guys go 100% on defense, they'll mop the floor with everyone in the West.
