The Official 2014 Non-Playoffs/Off Season Thread

[PP34]

so basically everything he says is bullshit

He speaks a lot of s**t.

 

[hayes]

His voice annoys me FWIW.

 

[PP34]

He doesn't belong on TV, even his NBA previews get on my nerves.

It's very annoying though how people ignore where he came from and why he sees sport in a certain way.

His best work is as a writer, and sadly he's basically abandoned that except for the regular trade value column, league pass guide and the weekly NFL preview.

 

[peternorth]

i actually like his takes.

 

[mitchzz]

Great to see Fezzy Ezeli back, he will be huge for us this season if he can stay healthy

I've also decided that I like Barnes starting for us, and Iggy off the bench

 

[jod23]

Rose dropping 30 was nice to watch. Can he really come back and be MVP Derrick Rose. Would love to see it.

Pek got 5/60 from memory - guess they figured that's the market rate.

Magic can probably afford to be generous at present.

 

[BG32]

cant see Ingles staying with the clipppers, sadly we have a roster full of s**t SF's and Jared Cunningham was impressive today in CP's absence

The more I see of Isiah Thomas, the more I like. 4/27 may a shrewd move.

Balanced out by giving Bledsoe a max contract.

Isn't his contract slightly front-loaded too?

By 2018 rates, you may well be paying him about 1/15th of your cap...

Just watched the Spurs 2014 Championship DVD. Geez they were good last season. I seriously dont doubt them to be major threats this season and if I was Pop, id set down the challenge to Duncan, Parker and Manu that yeah you guys have won 5, 4 and 4 titles respectively. But you have never gone back to back.

That's the challenge right there. To repeat. I wouldnt put it past them.

 

[peternorth]

i'd like to bring this to your attention

Balotelli's problem isn't effort. He's a black hole when he gets the ball, and he isn't taking any of his chances.

He's like a drunk Carmelo Anthony.

Never gave Bledsoe a max.

If he stays healthy, 5/70 will be cheap, if not, it happens. He's a great two way player and has come into pre-season in great shape. I wasn't happy with his posturing, but it happens, it's a business. I feared he would be counting the cash and not invested in the team, so far, he's totally the opposite.

How could you put it past them? The ball movement they displayed in the NBA finals was nothing short of brilliant. Amazing team.

Yes albeit slightly. He looks goofy at times, but he's effective and gets to the line.

Hehehe, ball movement

Avatar contender!

 

[jod23]

Does it hit the bottom of the backboard and deflect to one of the best shooters in the game?

 

[J Shuttlesworth]

Makes a great companion to Blake's backboard hitting golden gif. Funnily enough both @GS.

If only Bazemore was still on the bench.

Lottery Reform doesn't pass.

Lottery Reform doesn't pass.

The list of teams that voted for and against is intriguing....

 

[Warsaw]

Weird though, the massive backflip, if this were true

 

[BG32]

The ******* idiot had his pg right in front of him asking for it
