i have something to say about the offseason THE 2016 NBA OFFSEASON

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

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

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.

jazz are definitely good

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

re jazz

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

they barely made the offs last year and didnt add anyone that good

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

also they had a bunch of injuries apparently

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?

paid evan turner a lot of money

they gave evan turner $75 million

oh shit right

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

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

yeah i think so too

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.

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

dantoni with ryan anderson and harden could be kinda fun? idk

probably at the expense of the mavs or blazers, i dont think the rockets are better

wonder if the wolves are ready to make the jump to the next level

Barbosa back to suns for the THIRD time 2/8

the rockets will def score 50 million points but i dunno if that fixes any of their problems

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

rockets a huge wild card they def seem like they shd implode but who knows

i'm very scared for the pelicans

grizz and pels could both just have everyone die again its hard to project them

the rockets will def score 50 million points but i dunno if that fixes any of their problems

well it might keep james happy and engaged just enough

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

brow might be the first all-NBAer in the new era to not extend with the team that drafted him

he already did

he already did

yeah he's locked up through 2021

w Omer Asik throgh 2020 lmao
