2016-17 NBA Season: no IT ITT

[Southpaw]

I don't hate RUSS. I just like to troll OKC fans on this board. He do suck doe.

 

[sayo]

I'll admit, I do get trog trapped by "best player in the league" and "greatest season ever" comments.

This is the first time in his career he's been the best player on his team haha

 

[silverwheels]

goddammit noooooooooooooo

 

[Wuf]

I agree that OKC would be horrible without RUSS and I also agree that whatever OKC will never amount to any sort of consistent winning. Watching these Westbrook 4th quarters has been fucking brutal, those forced 3s are just abysmal. Not convinced he elevates the supporting cast enough, even if there isn't much to elevate. OKC should probably just start over

 

[Brick]

I mean yeah a lot of it is mak. It's an amazing character study because it's so interesting that not even he, who has removed hisself intentionally (as far as I can tell) almost completely away from the culture and identity of anything having to do with being a tribal Oklahoma sports fan, still has that ingrained Oklahoma fan weird ass, distinctive mindset that I can't seem to put a finger on but will one day put in schlongread form.

greatest player season ever.

I do wish he could find a balance, and I want to believe if he had weapons around him he would take it down a notch on the ball dominance, but I really don't think it matters all that much who is around him. even with Durant he had a 34% usage.

 

[doh]

I'm Patrick Beverly. Is RUSS great? Of course. But what % of NBA players score 40 when they shoot 34 times?

 

[NML]

IT having to switch defensively too much. Exposing him a bit.

Plus the C's shot selection right now, LAWD. Pick and roll with IT/Horford please, Chicago hasn't been able to defend it all series.

[OU11]

some idiot son of a minority owner said "fuck you" to beverley while he was playing game 4. beverley got into it with him and then yelled to get the fuck out after they beat the thunder. it was satisfying

 

[silverwheels]

u can't talk to me like that! my dad owns a small part of the team!

 

[NML]

Olynyk with 11 points already? Leading scorer of the game?



@Yankee151 @bruin228 @Lloyd Carr

 

[Orlando]

Jimmy Buckets

 

[NML]

Celtics shot selection tonight

 

[NML]

But maybe IT will just take over

 

[NML]

Only player I've seen who has as good of balance in the air as IT was Ray Ray

 

[NML]

It's all gone pear shaped for the Bulls

 

[Orlando]

Yeah that was bad.

 

[NML]

Chicago just can't create without Rondo. Tons of dumb turnovers and forced shots

Cannan means they don't exploit IT enough defensively either. C's have structured their defense around him not switching, so if that's working, ur done

 

[Brick]

RR and DW not enough for CB.

 

[Orlando]

IT.

 

[NML]

That's a weird troll attempt. IT is his nickname

 

[Brick]

You know this is how RUSS started, right? This a chat b, notta Celtics fan board.

 

[Orlando]

Not trolling. I don't know his nickname. I just read all the posts as "it".

 

[NML]

Isaiah Jamar Thomas had himself quite the sporting event this evening. He scored his baskets post-haste and with great accuracy.

 

[silverwheels]

Well, I guess you could say that @NML is nutopia's...

If your Maritime Admiralty Law Gold fringed flag government name is Isaiah Thomas, you don't need a fucking nickname

Thomas showing RUSS how its really done with that 1-10 from 3 with 4 assists.

Cant wait till he gets that MAX deal.

 

[Wuf]

Raptors choking hard against the Bucks. Were up 23, down to only 4

 

[mongoose]

I wrote that game off after halftime. Shits ridiculous

 

[sayo]

Giannis took the bait and laid it in with 3 seconds left with no timeouts... wow

Physical gifts do not translate to mental. This is why there are millions of NCAA student athletes who will never reach the service counter at a rental car branch.

[kella]

Bazemore is a fucking bitch maid

 

[NML]

Christ Chicago...

 

[kella]

Wizards really tried to give that away

 

[OU11]

This game finally heating up

 

[GR8 2 B FL G8R]

Heating without D Wade is a federal Maritime Admiralty law offense

 

[NML]

NBA playoff schedule is weird. Celtics and Wizards play game one today even though they played game sixes on Friday? And Toronto, who wrapped up on Thursday, and Cleveland, who swept, are tomorrow?

Anyways, that's an advantage for Washington, because Brad Stevens>>>>> and the Celtics actual talent<<<<<

Should be great series if you like intensity and mediocre basketball. These teams hate each other. So I hate @kella now

Yeah I was baffled but it seems like this happens every year. There's at least one series that someone forgot to schedule so they just throw it in where it fits in. I know it was probably schedules a while back but it sucks even more because of Thomas' situation.

 

[sayo]

Nowhere for Celtics to hide IT in this one. Wizards in 6.

 

[NML]

You "hide" him on Beal - you don't want help defense off Beal anyway and leave him open, and he's not nearly as good at creating his own shot off the dribble as he is at spot up shooting.

 

[Orlando]

It think it can be hidden.

 

[NML]

I'd imagine the respective game plans will be that Thomas guards Beal, Bradley on Wall. Wizards will run pick and roll's (which Beal is great at) all day and ultimately it'll come down to how the C's defend it

 

[kella]

Wall dropping 30 footers

 

[NML]

Well then

 

[kella]

Refs gotta stop calling that shit, lol
