I saw a Spurs fan yesterday and I just lost it. Fucking smug prick. I was eating an outside lunch at this nice little restaurant, and he was sitting eating some fucking salad. Salad. Typical fucking Spuds fan. He was there with his stupid Spuds fan wife who of course was eating a fucking salad too.

I could tell he thought he was part of the best fans in basketball. He didn't say anything, but the way that stupid prick was chewing. Jesus Christ. He had a fucking Spurs t-shirt on. I bet you he bought it at the team store like a fucking schmuck. He and the fucking stupid cashier probably had this big self-satisfactory exchange. "I'd like to buy this best t-shirt in basketball with the best money in basketball please." I couldn't fucking believe this asshole. He just kept going at this fucking salad like he's king of the world.

I just tried to ignore that attention seeking asshat but he just kept at it. Every time I looked away he'd conveniently grab for his hot ice or some fucking passive aggressive bullshit so that it would draw my eyes to him. LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME BEST FAN IN BASKETBALL RIGHT HERE. Jesus.

You should have seen his wife. What a bitch. The waitress came by to ask them how their food was and she relayed how fucking satisfied she was in the most smug way possible. This fucking fake-politeness Spurs fans put on is ridiculous.

Next thing I know that guy pulls out his phone and starts texting. Are you fucking shitting me? I bet he just had to text his stupid friend all about his fucking salad was almost as good as being in basketball heaven.

I couldn't fucking take it. I told that fucking idiot what a smug fucking retard he was. He was like "dude what are you talking about" like he didn't fucking know what a prick he was. I fucking tackled him right there. Staff called the cops on me as if I did anything wrong. They are actually going to fucking put me on trial for assault. Fucking Spuds fans.

Porzingis is really good. He has a really nice jump shot. If he can keep improving his post game and put some weight on he will be the best player coming out of this draft.

I really hope Embiid can actually play in the NBA. His post moves are incredible. He beats players with his mind and he looks strikingly like Hakeem in the post. I still think he's by far the best player in that draft class, shame he's still injured.
>>
>>63650380
he's a white KG (Kevin Garnett) with 3

It drives me nuts when idiots compare him to Dirk. He plays nothing like dirk besides the fact they are both white and tall

Porzingis is 3 inches taller and 30 lbs heavier at this age. It's not even close with porzingis level of aggression and ability to bang compared to dirk at this age. But hey they are both white and from europe lol

The Zingis is a banger. Watch his Euro Film. They had to pull him back a couple times for being too aggressive. If he stays healthy probably will be the best big man in the league in 2 years. Dude is amazing. 40 inch plus vertical, can shoot, hella tall, aggressive as fuck, came from a poor ass family (well poor for a americans) generally kind of an asshole.

Idk

Wittman should be gone but when the offense is clicking and not turning the ball over the wizards are one of the better offensive teams
It just seems like Wittman has to choose either offense or defense. Wiz were a great defense last season but have been terrible so far
I liked McHales system of "3s layups and fts" and I definitely don't think he's a bad coach, but idk if he could have the same success with this wizards team. Harden really carried that team last season and idk if wall could do that

Who are some players that are objectively holding their team back, one way or another?

For me it's Ricky Rubio. He's a really good player when he's healthy, but he's hurt too often and will always be an average defender and have his offensive limitations. And most importantly, he's holding Zach LaVine back who has a much bigger upside.

And Jrue Holliday. I know he's young and could still end up being good, but he's literally an injury prone chucker who doesn't mesh with Anthony Davis at all. With Tyreke close to being healthy and Ish Smith being surprisingly really good, I'm not sure what purpose Holliday even serves to that team. Minus the fact that they gave up a lot to get him so they wanna keep him.
>>
>>63651879

And if I'm the Pels I'd be hoping Holliday gets fully healthy and plays well so I could trade him. I'd also be shopping Eric Gordon and Ryan Anderson. Unfortunately for them there's nobody dumb enough to take Asik.

Roll with Tyreke and Davis and draft some good talent that will also play defense.

Wtf the Mchale do in the beginning of the season to lose the team anyways? I mean Houston wasn't exactly a very cohesive team like a lot of the west teams but this year it looks like none of them have ever played with each other and had no chemistry

Let's be serious though. No star was going to the lakers even if Kobe's contract wasn't massive. They traded their first away in 2011.

I don't know about that. They're well known for not playing defense.
>>
>>63651947

He has a much higher ceiling than Rubio. Defensively and offensively. Ideally you'd like for the other stuff to improve with experience.

On a team with Towns and Wiggins learning on the fly, I'd much rather be grooming LaVine than nursing Rubio.

What's the secret for the based Spurs? This team, aside 2-3 years since 99, were always a candidate to the championship and they still are even though their HoF trio is old as fuck.
>>
>>63651997
Rubio is one of the best defensive point guards in the league

Also why would you want a guy like Levine when you have towns and wiggins? Both those guys want the ball all the time, and Lavine will suck it up. Rubio is a top 3 passer in the nba, and while his shot improved it's not like he's going to be shooting much. Rubio fits much better imo.

Let's be honest here. McHale might be at fault but the Houston Cockets have retarded players everywhere.

I also have no idea why they act surprised that Howard is crap now. His whole game was always about athleticism, everyone with a brain knew that once he reached 30 he would decline drastically. Plus he's always injured. How can this guy not learn post up moves with McHale and Olajuwon as his coaches?
>>
>>63652099
8-2, playing the nuggets tonight. imo it mostly has to do with the guys play styles. apart from manu and sometimes parker everybody plays really conservatively and passes a lot (the beautiful game)
>>
>>63652129
Yeah, but you remember how Manu played when he wasn't over 35. He was full gas on every game, bumping into "trees", dunking over niggas, etc.
>>
>>63652117
This. Harden, Howard, Lawson all seem really dumb. Howard could've been so much better if he could actually comprehend something different than a fifteen year old's pussy.

The Clippers would be the same if Rivers wasn't equally as a fucking prick as some of his players.

>>63652066

LaVine at the 2 could work, tho I think most of his talent right now is with the ball. He'd have to get a lot better working off the ball to be a solid 2.

But it does make a lot of sense because it'd move Wiggins to the 3 where he'd be very useful defensively.

They're 2-3 years away imo, but they have a chance to have something special if they play it right.

Who would you rather have: Jordan, Gobert, or Whiteside?
>>
>>63652201
Gobert

Lavine is a lot like Stanley Johnson ink. Extremely fast and athletic but terrible shooting and makes bad decisions all the time.

Whiteside desu his offense is better than the other 2 rn

Rockets management (Alexander, Morey, Brown) didn't want to make move, believed Kevin McHale lost the locker room. Things would not change.

McHale's strength has always been player development. The problem is that the Rockets aren't in the team-building stage anymore, they're trying to win. The team is full of frustrated veterans.

LaVine is shooting 41% from 3 this year. Also leading the team in assists and turning it over about 2 and a half times/game. He's also a good rebounding guard.

He's a lot better this year than he's ever been.

Clippers are the actual meme team. As far as I know, they haven't won jack yet. Meanwhile, GS won the championship last year, was 1-2 against both Memphis and Cleveland and took over those series after the bad start while the Clippers were 3-1 against Houston and has one of the biggest choke jobs ever.

Also, as long as DeAndre Jordan can't shoot at least 50% from the free throw line, they won't win jack. They got lucky last year against the Spurs because half their players were banged up and Chris Paul was making shots like Curry.

We all know the WCF Finals should've been Spurs vs GS, hopefully that's what happens this season. I don't want the clippers crying and whining for long in the playoffs, the sooner they lose, the better.

It's amazing how the media can run with a false narrative until it's completely accepted. Literally other than Jimmy Butler (who is the only player that actually stays healthy), every major contender other than the Spurs has played their star players more minutes than Thibs does.

Go look at CP3, Blake Griffin, Harden, Aldridge, Lebron, Marc Gasol, Conley, Carmelo, DeMar Derozen, etc.'s total minutes, mpg, total games and games per season over the 'Thibs era' (2010+) and compare them to any major Bulls player.

Bulls have beenone of the most minute-sparse teams in the league star wise among teams that actually make the playoffs and compete.
