Official NBA 2017-2018 Thread - Final day of the regular with playoff seating still unknown

They drafted Fultz ideally as a combo guard ...but the plan always was to have Fultz play 2 primarily.... His inability to shoot came out of nowhere...you know that bruh. It was the single weirdest sports story of the year.

But Fultz presence wasn't even the main argument that was being used against Ben running point. It was the fact that he was 6'10", and "who will he pick up on defense??" ish like that, He didn't play point at LSU...etc..

We didn't pull this "Ben Simmons will run point" stuff out of our ass. It's what the coaches were saying all along. For some reason the cats who don't follow the team was trying to tell Sixers fans otherwise.

Yup. I remember cats were laughing their asses off at the thought of Simmons playing point. That shit ain't funny now. Dat shit aint funny at all!!!

Like I said last year....Westbrook lowered the value of what a triple double is. The game is so fast now it's far easier to flirt with that shit then it was back in the day.

Yeah, he and Hardden made it trendy but it's still a nice accomplishment. But it's a different flow now. All good.:cool:

It is. You can't sit on your ass and get it. Westbrook was getting them shits in the first half of games. It's a accomplishment though but if you are athletic and play 38-40 minutes? You got a good shot unless you Andrew Wiggins lol.
 
Brett Brown ALWAYS stated Simmons would play the point. EVERYONE ELSE THOUGHT HE WAS CRAZY. Fultz was drafted because of his ability to run and get to the basket.

Fulz can't shoot though. It really made no sense to draft him if you were gonna run SIMMONS at point.

How Fultz gonna play shooting guard but can't shoot?
 
Going to the Finals didn’t stop the Warriors from signing KD. Rockets would sign LeBron to fuck with GS.

LeBron, Harden, Paul > Curry, Durant, Green, Thompson

LeBron isnt KD. He wants to be the man on any team he plays on. He also already has 3 rings so hes not desperate. Not to mention its not even a lock they bringing Paul, Capela, Gordon back. Houston needs to enjoy this season and take advantage cuz theyre not in position to keep this team together.

You must not have watched him in college or ever scouted him, because no one was saying he couldn't shoot coming out of Washington. He shot like 40% from 3 in college and like 48% from the floor. He could have been a better spot-up shooter, but he was killing cats with his little step-back J.

If you go back and look at his old draft profiles there are several times he's listed PG/SG and most of his player comparisons were either a more athletic J. Harden or a better shooting D. Wade. I even heard Bradley Beal and Gilbert Arenas... none of those dudes were pure 1's...
One reason he was thought to be the best guard in the draft was because of his versatility to play both 1 and 2.

Most scouting reports say consistency in his spot up shooting is what he needs to work on.

I think he's gonna be a solid pro. When I watched him in college he was a guy who dominated the Ball and shot solid in that role.

I see SIMMONS as more of a 3 like Lebron who can dominate the Ball.
 
Do me a favor and go look up New Orleans post season stats with Paul and when he left.. He took a champion Spurs team the distance by him dam self.. When you finish there go look up the LA Clippers postseason stats pre and post Chris Paul.

Lemme me what you see.

Oh, and this is the FIRST year since 1995 when the Rockets are a legitimate title contender.. Guess who showed up this year? You get one guess.
Dude stfu

My mans

Nigga that was 2 teams ago

Sam fucking Casell and Elton brand led the clippers to the same place cp3 did. (2nd round heaven)

NOW the Lil ugly water head nigga gotta show up

Zero excuses, Finals or better.
 
But I said that shit from the beginning of the run though I'm not surprised. It's also why I was highly annoyed with cats making those threads and shit and then people mention me so I gotta come in and talk about some shit some other people said while they ghost

I still remember who showed up after the warriors choked the 3-1 lead.
I know I was there.

Stop bringing up old shit:curse:
 
I hope the Warriors handle business tonight. Sixers, Nuggets coming for that W tomorrow. Stand down.

They give the Nuggets the longest road trip of any team and at the end of the fucking season! Trash.
Should be a good game M. I say Simmons gets another triple double. I noticed that late road trip too. I think a few other teams are doing that as well.

It's funny when you think about y'all spending s 1st overall pick on a point guard lol.
Not really. Not when he comes in and balls out next year. See what you forgot is that in only the 3 games he played this year he still showed he can get to the basket. Simmons will make the game so much easier for him and make sure he's in the right spots. Again, dat shit ain't funny. Dat shit ain't funny at all. Future is blazing for the Sixers right now!! :yes:

Yes sir! Embiid might get a poster on my boy Plumlee lol. He likes to jump. Hopefully Jokic can grab a triple double as well. I think Simmons two ahead of him in that category. Wild. Salute on the playoffs y'all. I knew y'all would be dope this year and going forward.
