NBA 2016-2017 Season |OT| What do the Liberty Bell and Ben Simmons have in Common?

Diaw is so terrible now.
Edit: the thing that impressed me the most about LeBron in year 14 is how he still has the ability to just throw it down viciously on the break or going to the hole. Jordan and Kobe at age 33 didn't have that ability anymore they had to change their games and they didn't have close to the mileage that LeBron has had on his legs and body.

What the league really needs is more roster spots for assets.

Yeah, no true laker fan would ever and I mean ever root for the clippers..even if they were in the finals, most of LA wouldn't give a shit.
LeBron has never been hurt. Never. How is that possible

Its just a lack of everything. That team last night looked like a HS team, they really had no idea what they were doing. So disorganized. Russell is so bad. hes averaging almost 3 TO a game. His decision making is unfkn real sometimes. Hes a lazy ball handler who has no speed.
They need to move him to the 2 and just let him catch and shoot.
That team last night just shake my head.
Dude takes care of his body like no one else. Even with that though it's still crazy

Lebron is the last son of krypton obviously.
Well, people have been comparing him to Karl Malone (body wise) for more than a decade.
I'm hoping that's not true. I really need PHX to start resting Bledsoe and Booker down the stretch.
What's the point of this? Games are basically practice at this point

Klay and Draymond are under contract and Curry won't leave thanks to the new CBA creating a lot of financial incentive for veteran players to stay home (Warriors can offer him $80 million more than any other team).
Durant's the only one that would leave as a free agent. I don't think he will, but if things go terribly in the playoffs I'll be nervous about the summer.
nuggets as a whole are clicking together, jokic is unreal. idk how mudiay's playing but if he steps up then they can be a problem. the nugs, suns and wolves are the prime up and comers of the western conference imo
Shooting 100% in 3pt shots. 10/10. Damn.
They are both ripped as fuck and bald. So I see the similarities

We lost KP to injury and the Pacers still manage to screw the tank up. Stuckey is hot garbage and got his ass handed to him by Ron MF Baker good lord.

You think he went to his stylist and said "I need an outfit that says I have zero fucks to give"?

Durant stole Steph and Klay's abilities like the Monstarz in Space Jam.
For real though, it seems like he had a very tough time adjusting to playing with Durant this whole season. There were a lot of games where he wasn't as aggressive with finding his shot as he usually is.
GS really miss that bench they had over the past two seasons.
Sorry to bring it up again, but Curry hasn't sunk since Durant's injury, he sunk last year. He's the same guy that couldn't get a shot off against Kevin Love in the finals. It's kind of what made him the mvp, shooting off the dribble against anyone. If you have no quickness at all, you're not going to make a lot of of those shots no matter how many balls you can dribble between your legs at once.
So, your best player is out with a scary knee injury, your second best player has to adjust to a more conventional shooter role. Oh, and only the Magic Lakers, Bird Celtics and MJ's Bulls ever won 60 games 3 times in a row.
Doom and gloom! Back to watching Zelda videos.
EDIT: Will people now disabuse themselves of the idea that Steph was just deferring or adjusting? I don't mean to single you out Macgrady, but god am I tired of that argument. On a basic level, he had like 3-5 highlight plays weekly, if not every game last year, do you think he decided to stop all of it entirely because of a new teammate?

So basically, Durant should have gone to the Spurs to form a frontcourt of Kawhi/Durant/LaMarcus (maybe, assuming he can play).
Durant should have demanded those 4 players that showed up to recruit him play a pick up game before he signed. At least a 1 on 1 with Curry.

I respect that you've decided to leave the Lakers for the Warriors. Surprised it took you this long.
He should've gone to the Celtics.

Yeah KD was definitely 2nd or 3rd in the MVP race. This stretch is the worst I've ever seen Curry look even before he went superhuman the last 2 years.
