2015 - 2016 NBA Thread - NBA where amazing happens - all rookie team named!!!

To beat the Warriors you don't try to stop Curry, because that is impossible.. What you try to do is cause him to expend as much energy as possible by playing both sides of the floor, and on defense... Then you win the battle of the 50/50 lose balls, G.S. kill teams with this, and then you have to win the battle of the boards, while not taking the bait and getting into a run and gun shoot out... OH yeah, did I mention that you have to hit your shots also...
Well that said, you can do all of that and still lose, but if you fail to do at least two of those things, well good luck with that..
Good defense can stop them and the Spurs do play good defense.
 
They are a very flawed team but they have the height, athleticism and offensive power to at least match up on paper vs the Warriors.. And if all the stars line up for four strait games, well all I can say is, stranger things has happened..


Yea I gather all that but damn, coming into the season folks had them as a threat to keep the Dubs from repeating.
I'm like new coach, Durant ain't the healthiest of players and y'all give them this much luv...W0W
 
At times a very frustrating team to watch, all I can say is that all the problems they had in the past, are still there and in some ways worse..

Interesting. The season is a marathon. If KD and Ibaka are healthy, you gotta respect them in the playoffs. That's a given. I just don't hear about them much these days. Maybe it will change with this Warrior's coverage simmering.

Man this shit ain't going at where...
These ninjas bout to start roasting fools again...
This was a tuff east coast road trip!
 
One thing I want to know is who the fuck made this years NBA schedule and what the logic behind having the G.S. and the Spurs play two time during the last four games knowing damn well those games may not even mean anything due to both of them most likely clinching...
 
They rebound the hell outta the ball tho, I give them that shit
But that isolation ball and playing the opponents too close kills me.. At times they look like the Cavs with Mo, Jefferson on the floor looking for LeBron to save them..

Dubs have to travel the most...

Fuck outta the first 4 the Pelicans and Warriors played twice
 
Thunder playing their usual 600 win percentage ball. Third in the west.Flying under the radar. They second in scoring behind the warriors even tho they take a bunch of bad shots.defense gets weird, they'll let you back in a game. Billy Donovan's lineups and coaching getting better tho.the bucks need to play like this all season... Lol.they got a nice squad.

Would you be entirely shocked if they lose in the first round of the playoffs to a Meh team like the Jazz or the Mavs?
 
Man I like the Mavs...they again they do this every year...


make noise during free agency, then have a decent team during the regime season but don't have enough punch to get over the hump again...
 
This was one of my players to watch this year...

They had the formula then pissed in it ain't been right ever since

Delaying the inevitable no end in sight since Carlisle just got extended

Mavs passed on him in the draft cuz they wanted to trade down to save cap space so they could have it for free agents who turned them down

That's was on Cuban cuz the GM wanted him Cuban wanted to preserve cap space

If he ended up like Josh Howard shit I would take that :lol:

But he is better than that more complete player

Howard was a 2 way player too tho

Overall just a dumb move to save like 800K in cap somebody need their ass whooped for that shit
 
lol...first round...this team conference finals at least.they a deep squad. think russ and kd hungry.
Chances are they wont but if there a year that they are ripe for the picking you have to say its this year.. Largely based off the parity in the league after the top three teams. Also you can throw teams like the Rockets, Clips, Bulls, Heat and Hawks on to the list of teams who might get upset in the first round of the playoffs.

Shit road lets take a minute and dissect this year up to this point....
Just off the parity (you addressed) this year, the teams u listed are good teams, but the few teams that are almost good teams..(Pistons, Pacers, Celtics, Mavs, Jazz) that could make the 1st rd noise your talking. So it wouldn't be a shocker if some strange/not so strange shit happens this year(if every squad is healthy).

Only shocker would come if Cavs and Dubs stumble early...other than that everything else would be understood.
 
man yall cats forgetting about charlotte...they got a nice young squad...think they second in the east right now for what thats worth lol.all these teams gotta do is pop off a 5 game winning streak...8 outta 10 shiit
