i think bosh is done, thats why i think miami falls. if he's healthy enough thatll cushion their fall.

i would have paid wade but i can't fault riley for wanting to be a year early on getting off of wade's contract than two years too late

theres no way the bulls make the playoffs
― ciderpress, Wednesday, July 6, 2016 11:39 PM (19 minutes ago)
they play in the east and their lineup is rondo/wade/butler/mirotic/rolo, they'll be a playoff team

don't know why everyone thinks the pacers are good now ive been seeing that everywhere
bucks are on upward trajectory but prob still like 10-12th
― ciderpress, Thursday, 7 July 2016 04:03 (seven years ago) link
sounds reasonable tho i dont even know who starts at 2 for them then whos the backup and then winslow at the 3 their wing production cld be real bad, losing wade and deng is a lot
xp jord

u knows whos weird that everyone thinks will be good is the jazz
― lag∞n, Thursday, 7 July 2016 04:06 (seven years ago) link
the final 3-4 playoff spots will prob be determined by a few games difference in record and there's a lot of downside w/ the bulls if wade's body breaks down like it did in the few seasons before this one. if he gives them the season he just gave the heat this year then i'd agree they're likely in the playoffs.
also they had tons of bad vibes there last year. hoiberg seemed in over his head & jimmy does not seem to have been a positive presence behind the scenes. throw in rondo & desperate wade.... i could see them having another disaster year.
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 7 July 2016 04:08 (seven years ago) link
jazz are definitely good
― ciderpress, Thursday, 7 July 2016 04:08 (seven years ago) link
they still have so little playmaking just like last year and r insanely slow great defensive team prob but theure not gonna be able to score their big addition is the famously non penetrating george hill

yeah i dunno they'll have to get creative. richardson prob plays the 2 for them and they'll need him to shoot really well again. a starting 5 of dragic-richardson-winslow-bosh-whiteside could be something i think but they have no bench. it will all be hanging by a thread for them and like the bulls the downside is pretty big. but there were a lot of bad parts to wade's game that i think the heat will benefit from flushing out.

on the new zach lowe pod him & arnovitz agree that the jazz are the 4th best team in the west
this seems crazy to me
― lag∞n, Thursday, 7 July 2016 04:11 (seven years ago) link
they barely made the offs last year and didnt add anyone that good
― lag∞n, Thursday, 7 July 2016 04:12 (seven years ago) link
like what % of jazz possessions ended w an off balance hayward 20 footer as the shit clock expired

lol shit clock
jazz missed the playoffs by 1 game without starting an nba quality point guard all season
― ciderpress, Thursday, 7 July 2016 04:15 (seven years ago) link
also they had a bunch of injuries apparently
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 7 July 2016 04:15 (seven years ago) link
yeah wow the west is kind of top-heavy now. top 3 are obviously warriors-spurs-clippers, but after that there's not clear 4th. hard to tell who the best of the mavs/thunder/rockets/jazz bunch is. what did the blazers do this offseason?
― k3vin k., Thursday, 7 July 2016 04:16 (seven years ago) link
paid evan turner a lot of money
― ciderpress, Thursday, 7 July 2016 04:16 (seven years ago) link
they gave evan turner $75 million
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 7 July 2016 04:17 (seven years ago) link
oh shit right
― k3vin k., Thursday, 7 July 2016 04:17 (seven years ago) link
yikes
i think the jazz will be better than dallas. prob memphis too.
yeah there are like 5 teams overall you can pencil in for at least 50 wins next year and after that who knows
― k3vin k., Thursday, 7 July 2016 04:18 (seven years ago) link
blazers bout to get ezili too

george hill is no ones savior, especially that team who desperately needs someone that can break down the D

+ u just cant win the the nba walking the ball up

if M Gasol stays healthy they are arguably better with the addition of parsons, could see them hanging around the 4 seed
― moistest hoist (Spottie), Thursday, 7 July 2016 04:19 (seven years ago) link
yeah i think so too
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 7 July 2016 04:20 (seven years ago) link
line between 4 and 6 or 7 is pretty thin tho
jazz shdve tried to get teague

i have no idea what to make of the rockets. i hated their offseason but you still have to imagine they won't be as bad as last season.
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 7 July 2016 04:21 (seven years ago) link
ppl seem to think hill is a really good fit w/ their roster
xp yes these are all good reasons why they're not one of the top teams but they still easily project to make the offs
― ciderpress, Thursday, 7 July 2016 04:22 (seven years ago) link
dantoni with ryan anderson and harden could be kinda fun? idk
― moistest hoist (Spottie), Thursday, 7 July 2016 04:23 (seven years ago) link
probably at the expense of the mavs or blazers, i dont think the rockets are better
― ciderpress, Thursday, 7 July 2016 04:24 (seven years ago) link
wonder if the wolves are ready to make the jump to the next level

Barbosa back to suns for the THIRD time 2/8
― moistest hoist (Spottie), Thursday, 7 July 2016 04:25 (seven years ago) link
the rockets will def score 50 million points but i dunno if that fixes any of their problems
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 7 July 2016 04:25 (seven years ago) link
if i had to predict the west today its like GSW SAS LAC MEM UTA OKC POR NOP those last 2 slots could just as easily be the rockets or mavs tho idk
― ciderpress, Thursday, 7 July 2016 04:26 (seven years ago) link
rockets a huge wild card they def seem like they shd implode but who knows

i think the pels are just bad. they've got jrue-etwuan moore-tyreke-brow-asik with solomon hill & langston galloway off the bech. i hate that roster lol

i saw a pelican the other day

Pels def dead.
Grizz will only die due to injuries.
i could see the pels trading Jrue and Tyreke by the deadline
