Is Plumlee normally a real good passer? Cause those were perfect. A big that can pass well out of the post to cutters is extremely dangerous.

It's okay to acknowledge terrible work even when it's associated with our own team or players we once idolized. For example, speaking as someone who was going to Blazers' playoff games in the early 90s and whose own dog is named Clyde, I can still recognize that Clyde Drexler is a horrendously bad announcer, almost on par with how bad Austin Carr is.

hrrrm what are your thoughts on the heat announcers

he has no one to funnel them into so you are noticing people going by him and scoring instead of people going by him and running into one of the best rim protectors in the nba

I think the Warriors will be fine from a regular season perspective because they score so easily that if they can just not play bottom five defense they will win games. And I think last year showed that a team can basically only make three or four mistakes and lose to the Warriors in a playoff series despite outplaying them overall just because overwhelming offense is a powerful thing in the NBA.

the warriors were a fantastic defensive team last year and years before tho, they werent winning because of just overwhelming offense, at least not in the playoffs. and especially against the cavs their greatest strength has been having two different guys who can credibly guard lebron, without andrew bogut behind them i wonder how credible that defense remains.

i like a future where the warriors get rid of draymond cause it would make them so so much easier for lebron to beat and i want him to stave off the tech bros. as they stand now they seem to match up way worse than last year and the moves some of you are talking about would make it even more true. im all for it

Also can someone explain to me as you would to a child the difference between Ray Allen to the heat and why that's cool and understandable and why Durant to GS is not

one of thems an mvp from a championship contender the other is a roleplayer from a good eastern conference team


one of them is in his prime the other was 37 when he joined the heat


also one of them went to a 73 win team the other...didnt


lotta huge, glaring, obvious differences

Ray Allen: roleplayer

7th highest usage rate on the celtics his last year, his usage rate actually went up on the heat and i think you would be hard pressed to claim he wasnt a roleplayer on the heat, where he got more shots than he did on the celtics. So yeah, he was a roleplayer

remove the basketball from it entirely.

I'm Kevin Durant, superstar. I had one season in a major American city when I was 19, then I spent ages 20-27 living in Oklahoma City while traveling all over and seeing what my peers get to enjoy all the time.

I can sign up for years more of that.

OR

I can move to San Francisco with all the other millenials and have first access to fund 30 of the next potential unicorn startups with just one of my game checks.

You guys ever wonder why we don't read the forums backwards? Like, starting from the newest post and reading back in time. Makes you think.

Just rewatched the Love Lockdown. Lebron really is looming behind Love in a threatening way.

based on Eye Test it feels like kyrie is really bad at running a unit without lebron which is odd cause when hes actually doing his best lebrons barely involved in the play. kyrie needs moral support and friendship to truly ball it seems

Rose should sneak onto a contender next season and be their 6th man. They'd absolutely let him in if he had a 6th man of the year, MVP, title, two world cup golds (of the US's 5 all time), and ROTY.

would derrick rose be the worst 12th player on the warriors roster of these past few years? going by MP per game its been javale mcgee, ian clark and festus ezili



i think he would actually make the warriors worse by being on their roster. hes way worse than 2 capable backup bigs is he worse than ian clark it feels like a push at best
