Boogie to the Lake Show....

Yep. Clippers were some dogs last year as well. They won 48 and took GS to 6 games. That team will be a force in the playoffs.

Updated projections:

The teams sometimes have to prove themselves as championship contenders with what they have first before star veterans hop on board. The Pels could have been sitting pretty if their management didn’t bunk having AD/ Boogie/ and Jrue together. Those three with a good front office on a Midwest team would’ve won the conference. I know Boogie got hurt but it’s not like the Pels were playing well beforehand.

They’ll end up 4 or 5 seed.

I agree. It’s always Boston, Lakers, and Philly that are in it for all of the big name stars. For me it’s no the location, it’s the locations are stockpiling the star talent. What Denver did last year was phenomenal considering they didnt have any bonafide stars going into it, but nobody expected them to do well against the stacked lineups in the playoffs. If Dallas, Toronto, OKC, Houston, Spurs etc are retaining their stars then we have good playoff basketball. It’s important to note that the Clippers and at one time, GS weren’t always preferred teams. There is little more parity these days. Hard cap/ no max contracts would do well to increase the parity of the league.

@abw0004 When Pearl goes to the NBA, you think we can land Donovan? OKC championship dreams:

Lebron is a horrible LeGM.

Yep. Will be too top heavy with no depth. Malik Dunbar may actually make the roster.

Ricky Rubio to Phoenix won’t help Jared.

Looking good crystal ball wise.

The Lakers want everybody but Lonzo. lol

Nets and Kyrie are ready to secure a 4 year/ 140 million dollar deal tomorrow. LAL and DLo have been in contact. Mutually want a reunion. Kanter is receiving serious interest from LAL, Celtics, and Trailblazers.

Ooh, that big:

Damn, Gronk is coke head Johnny Manziel level retired

Yeah well I go hard in the paint. Believe dat!!!! White Iverson When I started ballin' I was young You gon' think about me when I'm gone I need that money like the ring I never won, I won Saucin', saucin', I'm saucin' on you I'm swaggin', I'm swaggin', I'm swaggin' oh ooh I'm ballin', I'm ballin', Iverson on you

People won’t even know what to say if Leonard joins the super team out west. Can’t say he’s scared, or can’t win on his own. Cant say it would be the right move for him either.

Lebron didn’t wear 23 well anyway.

Lakers hope Kyrie goes to Brooklyn so they can get Russell back.

Story time!!!! This part Reminds me of HS. I’ll be in the hallway and I’ll see a friend walking and I’ll just walk right next to them without them seeing me and then jump at them from the side while pretending like I’m shooting. Before they are like “WTF are you doing Jeff!!” I’ll yell “And One!!!!” And then they laugh. lol

So altering the stance to flop ready should be made illegal? Are you not tired of judgement call fouls? I’m not going to pretend that the league is trying to preserve his Achilles either. They’re going to try to make whatever they can illegal because Harden can make a fool of the refs despite playing within the letter of the law. That’s why I don’t see how they can change what he’s doing. But it’s all good. Agree to disagree.

Yeah and I admit that Harden is the first to use the refs as a primary tool in his arsenal. But even then fouls were still fouls, just called less. No bro. They train themselves to shoot and maybe land in front of wherethey were very young. Especially if they don’t have the strength to shoot from long distance. So how are the defenders fouling while standing still? We are only discussing him jumping into others? You know he gets a lot of fouls after the step back?

You’ve never played basketball. You jump up, but where does your momentum take you? Has been done for decades Yeah but the shooter jumps forward right? What did wade do to Marquis? He went and got the contact. If a defender has his hand up and the shooter manipulates his shot to hit the hand, foul. That’s just smart.
