^ I'd add Nikola Jokic for crazy big man passing and post scoring, Ricky Rubio and Milos Teodosic for small man passing

The real joy of the NBA is developing an emotional attachment to a set of guys and reveling in their successes and feeling like a tipped over cow at their failures


Can you link me, I can't find it

I mean, I don't see how Draymond's wrong here. good to see he's at least embracing full heel

wasn't Anthony Randolph supposed to be the next big thing and he just lacked the basketball IQ to cut it in the NBA?

Feet and farts carrying the Warriors to an unprecedented run is cool and good, imo

at the very least, the Warriors are the first sex-positive team in the NBA; no kinkshaming in that locker room

I was hoping to see Jaylen embarrass the dude on D too but that was fun. Much better than the old video of Scalabrine posting up on some barstool sports moron a while ago.

It's insane because Brown totally toasts him but he's only going like 5 or 10%. NBA athletes are really in a different class of human

just a little over a day until the season starts!!

If you’re moving to Denver the Nuggets are a good choice since they’re on the upswing and have one of the best young players in the league in one Nikola Jokic; passes like a point guard but he’s 6’10

You could also root for the Sixers and erstwhile star but lit tweeter Joel Embiid and the gang

I'll take a crack at this, feel free to quote this later on

East

1) Warriors
2) Rockets
3) Spurs
4) Thunder
5) Wolves
6) Clippers
7) Nuggets
8) Pelicans

I'm betting on Blake's health here, I think he'll play 60 games and do enough point guard stuff to give the Clips a puncher's chance in the regular season. The Pelicans are gonna sneak in because AD and Boogie are going to be too dominant. I wonder if they miss the playoffs, what's the course for correction? They're nearly capped out, right? The bottom of the conference is a lot more fun to guess at since the top 4 are gonna be in some combination of that order all year.

West

1) Cavs
2) Wizards
3) Celtics
4) Bucks
5) Raptors
6) Heat
7) Sixers
8) Hornets

I think that the continuity that the Bucks and Wizards have will elevate them into home court and the two seed, respectively. Boston is the best positioned team for the future, but they're gonna take a minute to gel. The bottom of the conference is a lot tougher to predict since there's just too many bad teams. But I think 50 games from Embiid, a good season from Malik Monk, and Miami's hard-nosed style pushes those three into the playoffs. Of course, the Cavs are on top until further notice because of the greatest player of our generation.

My answers are probably different from the poll, which I did on just snap decisions. Excited to see how this will all play out!

I think Butler being the coach on the floor will push Wiggins to be a lot better than last year as well. Minnesota has a lot of the Bulls-era vets so I don't think they're gonna have as much trouble closing a game like they did last year

I had In-N-Out twice when I was in California over the summer and man it was really solid. just the prices are to die for and you're getting quality food as well. Animal style for life

If Markelle Fultz had ended up on a west coast team I wonder how differently that video would have gone; probably would have fixed his free throw form
