NBA 2015-2016

To the guys who want more personalities in the NBA. Matt Barnes drove 95 miles to get in a fight with Derek Fisher who is dating Barnes' ex wife.

Just when I was warming to him being on the Grizzlies he pulls this stunt and attracts attention to a hitherto ignored Memphis franchise. Equally amusing and annoying.
 
Who were the "accidental" champions? The Heat's 2 titles/4 finals in a row....agreed.
 
Westbrook went 5-5 from the field in the fist half against the Timberwolves. Obviously only pre-season but imagine an efficient Westbrook :drool:
 
Yea thats never happening. His aggressiveness and supreme confidence is what makes him great and frustrating at the same time.

Of course. I was just dreaming. But even if he could become a little more efficient it would be great.

Let's see what Billy Donovan creates. A lot of times OKC would have zero flow in their offense and run stagnant pick and rolls that forced KD and Russ into isos almost every other possession, and that's where they would jack up shot after shot.

He can up his percentages by working within a better offense, but nothing too crazy. Then again with Russ "nothing too crazy" could mean him averaging anywhere from 24-6-6 on 45% shooting to being 26-8-8 on 49%

Yeah.. but i'm all in on OKC this season. Even in preseason there's so much more flow in their offense. Spacing's better and i like that they're running Russ with KD in that pick and roll. I think they're gonna have the best record in the west.
 
Hoping for a Clippers-Bulls final. I want to see CP3 in a finals series and the bulls have such a great team (on paper).
But yeah, OKC in the finals would be great as well, just hoping it neither GSW nor Cleveland will make it.
 
It's sad, but no idea why someone would particularly like him.

Well why not, He battled through a tough upbringing in the ghetto and become a very solid NBA Player while always coming across as a nice and kind person to. I don't like the recent addiction stuff but his family have had issues with the same drugs so it might be hereditary unfortunately.
 
The Lamar Odom story does not surprise me one bit. He is one of the most well liked guys in NBA circles but, he has always had his demons. Really hope he is able to pull through.
 
:eek: Just read about this. I really hope he makes it, he was one of my favourite players on the Lakers repeat team.
 
Odom is conscious and breathing on his own again, nice to hear. His condition is still critical though.
 
$82m 5 years for Tristan Thompson :eek: Cavs going all in - mega contracts for Love, LeBron, Irving and Thompson.
 
Nah the ref was obviously just bantering with him

Perhaps, but I'm pretty sure MJ got a lot of calls in his favour, for just being MJ tbh.

That ref looked(and sounded) like he was about to bend over right there. Lmao.
 
feck. I didn't know it was that bad. RIP Flip Saunders. :(
 
So Noah is coming of the bench this season if I understood that right? And is Irving still or again injured?
 
Detroit winning against Atlanta and the Bulls hold on to their lead against the Cavaliers.
 
Jahlil Okafor hit 6 of 6 free throws. Unbelievable. If he'd hit FTs like that last year, Duke could have won the title...:devil:
 
Wow this Lakers squad is unbelievably selfish. D'Angelo Russell might not break 10 points a game playing with this squad.
 
Nice start for Miami. Bosh getting back into it and Green impresses from the bench again. Green has been on fire at the end of this pre-season and looks to have brought that with him into regular season.
 
Holy shit, someone watching that Orlando - OKC game right now?
 
wtf KD and Russ are out of this world. overtime here we come.
