2015-2016 NBA Discussion Thread

David Griffin is actually the worst GM in the league he doesn't deserve Lebrons talent the first thing LeBron should have done is fire that idiot... Once again he's put garbage alongside one of the greatest players of this era.

 

Partially Lebron's fault. Recruiting Kevin Love was the worst decision (personnel wise) of his career, he simply doesn't fit, and rarely plays 4th Q's because his defense is horrid, and on top of that, allowed the cavs to give him a max deal. The acquisition of JR/Shump was clutch, and Mozgov was great last season.

I hope for Lebron's sake that he doesn't make it to the finals because he won't win with this team the way they're currently playing. The Heat/Raptors have a better shot vs Golden state, but I doubt they actually make it past the cavs.

 

For me I just believe cleveland doesn't match well against golden state...I saw toronto push golden state twice to literally the last position of the game where Curry pulled some crazy late game heroics...

Irving can't guard curry... The Australian could but then they don't have enough offensive power to match the dubs...

Lowry matches well with curry he has an above average offensive game and he's a great defender at his position he leafs pgs in steals I think he's top 3 for sure...

Klay Thomson and demar derozan match well klay is obviously better and could explode any night but derozan is far more consistent in terms of what he does for his team I seen Thompson have quite a few bad nights...

Bismarck byambo and Festus ezilie wud be crazy both of them are amazing centers off the bench defensive anchors honestly...

Terrance Ross and Livingston would be great as well Ross has been playing out of his mind lately in terms of efficency.

I think toronto is the deepest team in the east...

Yo but how about Tristan Thompson getting paid 88 million or what ever he got loool that has to be the worst deal since Joe Johnson with Brooklyn

 

Timber wolves have a very good nuclease of players if they can upgrade at the point guard position I can see them being a playoff team next year.

 

Lebron is leaving next summer. Kevin Love should quit basketball and Kyrie is a spoiled brat who doesn't listen to constructive criticism.

Props to coach Casey he's resting half the Toronto rotation because he knows regular season goals are not important and it all matters in the playoffs.

RAPTORS ARE NOT EVEN TRYING TO GET THE NUMBER 1 SEED BUT CLEVELAND IS MAKING IT SO EASY I MEAN HOW THE FUCK DOES CLEVELAND LOSE TO BROOKLYN HOLY JESUS.

God dam man Cleveland could lose in the 2nd round if they get matched up against Miami lol.

 

RIP Maryland

 

when you compare Kevin Love's salary to other PF's in the league like Griffin, Aldridge, and Green, it's pretty sad to see how he clearly pales in comparison

 

Lop what about Tristans salary he got overpaid too

 

Lol thinking about who the Cavs could have gotten if they didn't give into TT's tantrum to get 16m a year and getting rid of Kevin Love is too depressing to think about. Literally frees up $25-30,000,000+

 

Kevin Love should stay, Kyrie has to go.
Every game Kyrie sat out, Love & James have combined for amazing games EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Love + Bron + Durant next season is what I dream of, probably wont happen though. So then Id say go after a decent PG.

 

Lol Nick Young and D. Russell situation is hilarious Russell is a bitch for filming and exposing Nick and Nick is a bitch for cheating but what's the worst is this is going ruin Kobe's farewell party lol.

 

Wow, Utah with a huge choke late in the 4th gives GS that game...

 

I most certainly see Toronto and Cleveland in the ECF unless major injuries take form... Looks like Chicago won't be making the playoff's lol.

 

Don't think GS will beat the record at this point. They'll have to beat the Spurs twice (once in Sacramento) and Grizzlies twice (which should be easier I guess but with the way the Warriors have been playing of late can't put anything out of the question). All credit to the Wolves though - Wiggins had a phenomenal game as he sometimes does and Shabazz Muhammad out of all people coming up huge too.
No excuses from the Warriors that night - last time it was no Bogut, this time it's just coughing up a 15 point lead and not driving to the rim. Curry starting 0-7 probably didn't help either.

 

The record doesn't really mean anything unless they win the championship to back it up... If they break the record and lose in the WCF nobody will care Chicago set the record and won the championship that's the bar Golden State has to match or beat and its a very difficult one to even match at this point...

If Cleveland loses two more times and Toronto wins all their games they can get the number 1 seed and Cleveland plays playoff team's where as Toronto has a very easy schedule after Saturday's game.

 

At this point before the playoffs though it would be pretty disappointing to go 68-7 and not be able to hit 73-9.

Assuming they beat the spurs tonight (they're up 14 with 3 min left to play) they'll be 70-9, 2 games against the Grizzlies should be doable but the game against the Spurs at home is the make or break for sure. I think the Spurs will take it but only time will tell

 

Hmmm will Cleveland lose their final 2 games and lost the number 1 seed Lol we'll see how Atlanta does at the Q tonight let's go Hawks!

Cavs vs Warriors is pretty much set and stone at this point.

 

You can go with that I'll say Golden State vs Toronto in the finals.

I reallly really like how Toronto matches up against Cleveland

Lowry vs Iriving... Please Lowry rapes

Derozan vs J.R Shit Derozan rapes

D.Carroll vs Lebron no need to double team Carroll can play good D.

Patterson vs Love lol... Love a max player who is shit beyond shit

Jonas/Biyambo vs Thomson and Mozgoth....

Unless Lebron goes beast mode 35+ points 10+ rebounds 10+ assists in every game I can see Toronto winning the series.

And if your going to tell me Cleveland's bench is better you're a fool... Toronto is the deepest team in the East and should they reach the finals they will play a lot better then Cleveland...

Irving can't play defence on Curry and Love will get eaten alive against Draymond Green and Iggy can stop Lebron as we saw last year...
