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

Yes Kyrie not healthy but thats not nothing new; Shumpert Smith Dela Thompson are average players that cant be consistently counted on; GS missed countless of open shots, not contested shots, open shots; You think they will miss those consistently; You think Barnes wouldnt have made an impact on this game??; Dude Cavs arent beating GS; its not happening...
They played exactly the way they played in the finals... At this point its safe to say that the Warriors are as good as they going to get, meanwhile the Cavs have all season to get their offense up to speed to match their defense... So if there is ever a thing as moral victory, the Cavs can sleep good tonight knowing that the only thing that is standing in the way of beating the Warriors is for them not to beat themselves..
 
I disagree, you have to let him get his legs under him, sometimes even though the initial injury (in this case his knee) may be healed, being that the muscles are not there, they run the risk of injuring something else due to lack of coordination...
To me this game was more of a scouting game too see what works and how to be effective against the warriors, not a lay it on the line game for all the chips..

I know.....that was just me being silly

I hope though we can put to rest this notion that this high powered GSW offense cant be hemmed in

Neither team will miss that many shots over a 7 game rubber tho

how are the Warriors as good as they're going to be and they are without Harrison Barnes?
 
Okc ain't ready yet right now.

by the time the postseason come around I am sure they will be

Again 7 games is the realest battleground in sports

Kawhi is not going to outplay Durant in a 7 game series

Parker is not going to outplay Russ

Ibaka should be able to play Aldrige about even

Dion Waiters will be a mess....The thunder have to make danny green put he ball on the floor so he can be an even bigger mess than Dion

Play Kanter early....when games get tight never let that motherfucker see the floor

Only issue is that if games are close Russ and KD gonna play your shot my shot between two of them

To say not beat themselves would mean that the Cas are the better team. Are you saying the Cavs are the better team?
 
See, this is what ticks me of about the Rockets. They have all the pieces necessary to be one of the best defensive teams in the league but they just do not commit to it for 48 minutes. Tonight they showed how well they can play defense. They should really focus on that.
 
Toexcites the best beat themselves would mean that the Cas are the better team. Are you saying the Cavs are the better team?
They are evenly matched to the point where who ever excutes the best should win. Today the Warriors executed much better and won.

I cant even begin to say anything about this ridiculous post you made; but again im not shocked; you sir are the same dude that said the Hawks and the Warriors are the same team; so Im not even surprised anymore about the things you say...
 
Its early fam. They still #2 in the west and gon be rollin come playoff time.

The same spurs that cant score against the Rockets?? The same spurs were Parker, Duncan, and Ginobly are on there last leg; The same spurs were green is a no show consistently; Spurs arent beating GS; please stop it...

No I said last years Hawks and last years Warriors had similar styles, similar weaknesses and strengths... According to the way you think, the Warriors have no weaknesses, and if you were an opposing coach you would say, well boys this is it, no way were going to win....
All I do is look at match ups similar to the way a coach would and compare teams weaknesses with the other team strength just to speculate on the variables... The one venerable that is impossible to guess is execution, until you so called know it all mother fucker show me some stubs from Vegas showing how yall always win, yall need to really fall back and listen to the way I deal in chances and odds rather than hoping and guessing...

I agree with you Im saying until they figure all of that stuff out they ain't ready but they're stacked. they need to find their permanent rotation and then we can see what's up

their biggest problem is rim protection and it shouldn't be. that worries me.
 
Bulls looking like elite

Look good vs good teams, shit vs bad teams.
Seen this story before.

We still got lots of issues.
I wouldnt be shocked if they pulled a trade before the deadline.
Would say add Pau the the trade packages (along with Rose)...cause he already stated he'll test FA and go after that new money.
But most aint gonna touch that...cause Pau could bounce after the season is done.

We'll see
 
Spurs versus Golden State will be interesting. It's a shame they haven't even played yet, and won't play until the end of January I believe.

A big contrast in styles. San Antonio wants to go big

This my thing why not counter...by staying big...
 
Chicago and OKC baffle me, because their offenses look just as shitty as they did last year.

A lot of one on one basketball and no ball movement.

I wonder if Phil didn't take the Snickers job would he have been open to coaching OKC in a shitty market.
 
bad loss for the thunder. go along with the horrible defense ibaka and waiters really fucked that game up . ibaka could be a easy double double nightly if he just take his ass to that post. dude should be playing like drummond man. easy shots easy rebounds easy points. everytime he shoots outside damn defense saying thank you.smh. waiters....dude scare me everytime he shoots or have the ball. they still playing good ball but seems like eveytime they get one of these nationally televised games they go into self destruct mode
 
Ibaka should be like Kawhi Leonard. His game hasn't really advanced, especially since they essentially picked him over Harden.
 
Not saying they can't play it... I'm saying that this is the type of game that the Cavs wanted.. it's the one style they can win.. they dictated pace, just couldnt make shot... they can't win with that small ball running up and down the court shit..

yup you have a better chance at beating them with limited possession and much like games 1 and 2 they fell into that trap. they played bogut too much. they walked up and down the court too much.

when they said screw it and sped up the pace in the finals it was a wrap
maybe kerr is a little more valuable than it seems.

has not improved his game at all.
fuck a jumper if he could do half the shit leonard can do in the post the thunder wouldn't be able to be fucked with especially adding canter
