Official NBA 2018-2019 Thread - the end of the regular season is near

[jack walsh13]

Damn it...

I hear you

but to pass up on AD?

What if Simmons never gets that shot?

Embid is a MONSTER but he has shown he shrinks against above average defense I heel like he would thrive with AD in the blocks.

yeah TJ is "serviceable" but I think with THOSE targets?

He could do the job FOR KNOW

and Mr. Yipps needs to go...

I honestly think he will be MUCH IMPROVED somewhere else

that kids story is mind boggling and unprecedented. I don't think we have EVER seen ANYTHING like this in the NBA.

Don't sleep on Embiid now. He's putting together Hakeem Olajuwon moves in the post. He's absolutely unguardable and makes the best defenders look foolish. The hate comes from the process and tanking shit. Plus, I'd go as far as to say he's just as good of a defender if not slightly better than AD. I've never seen a 7'1 guy run down so many blocks on transition. Moreso than AD. People would rather make fun of Simmons than give him credit cause it's funny to talk shit. Bit what people don't see is Simmons jump shot improving. Just don't ask dtownsfinest . He still mad about the process.

 

[Mack1052]

They just signed this dude. Maybe it was a ploy to get him from under GS control

 

[dtownsfinest]

@dtownsfinest saw Luca against the Sixers. He's the real deal. Dennis Smith Jr. Looks like he's taken a step back. Jordan sure doesn't protect the rim like he use too. It's time for Carlisle ass ta fuckin go.

Smith gotta work on his offensive game and get more consistent with his jumper. To me he's not using his biggest asset which is his athleticism. He's got some ways to go. Luka is just so polished right now. Almost surreal how good he is right now. Its that one rare time where scouts and shit say all this shit about a player....and its actually true.

 

[Mack1052]

@LSN @dik cashmere 3 in a row.
7th seed now

12-3 in the last 15 games without Caris

Celtics tomorrow will be a tough game tho

This kid is going after everything

Oh I will NEVER disrespect the Process...

he STILL got so much upside (how he doing on injures?)

Simmons is an outstanding player (but NOT MAGIC that was way over the top)

I just feel like maybe Philly could have like Robinson/Duncan or Twin Towers 3.0

Nah. It wouldn't work. Trust me. Especially with Brown leading them. Guess people forgot Magic wasn't a spot on shooter either. But always had that deadly hook shot. Ben is faster and a better rebounder than Magic. The shots will come. He can get anywhere on the floor he wants. Where he really fucks up and pisses me the fuck off with especially compared to Magic is the nigga is horrible on free throws. Makes me wanna smack the shit outta him while I'm at the game 3 stooges style.

 

[Mack1052]

What was the point?

Too make him a free agent and look good amongst players I'm guessing. McCaw would have lost out on the season had the Cavs not stepped in. Now he has at least half a season to show his worth to the league

How long is he out? He didn't have a season ender right?

 

[LSN]

How long is he out? He didn't have a season ender right?

[Mack1052]

Murray got dropped though. That'll humble his ass and also bring out that "dawg" in him.

 

[M.H.C.]

9 losses in a row like I said. I'll be in attendance to see a stop to that shit on the 1st. Murray better cook. He gotta save face somehow.

 

[LSN]

Im not sure he didnt.. But Im talking about the bogus foul that they actually called.

Man he's dope already so it really pisses me off when they just gift him 4 point plays on some "ghost" shit and act like it's cool.
