2016 NBA Preseason Thread

[Paulius]

Well 1) he can definitely bench more than that and 2) Durant was a very similar build at his age and look at him

Yea but KDs talent and skill was out this world when he began. He was raw but not this raw, idk we will see but he i just dont see the fire in ingram, to wanna be great

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I like Moore, I think he's the kind of guy this team hasn't brought in that they needed too. But I don't think he'll be able to stay on top of Buddy all year long.

 

[bosoxlover12]

i haven't seen etwaun play since he was in boston, but can he possibly play some 3? play alongside buddy?

 

[Paulius]

Ehh idk about the 3, feel like he would get bullied too much. On the bulls he handled the ball at the 1 at times, so maybe while jrue is gone theyll try that

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I think he will play a little three this year actually

 

[Paulius]

Nola , bosox should we do a prediction thread for standings, playoffs , awards? Would be fun to go back in july to check em out

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Normally we do, see the link below. If you want to just copy and paste to get that up then go ahead. Even add a couple more things to it if you want

If you don't think he has the fire then you should learn more about him. Don't be fooled by his demeanor

 

[Paulius]

Dont care about his demeanor . His play on the court is what i look at, and he doesnt play with that fire/agressiveness. Shots pretty ehh but obviously will get into rhythm more. Just very raw, dont think hes the lakers future tho

 

[Mexi]

He will eventually

this is 7 ppg etwaun moore we're talking about

 

[Paulius]

this is 7 ppg etwaun moore we're talking about

Didnt get crazy playing time with the bulls but also, you're underating him, hes solid

 

[Mexi]

Yeah hes solid

Thats why im not surprised buddy isn't starting

Rooks have to really earn starting jobs

 

[Mexi]

But at the same time,this is still etwaun moore we're talking about

If buddy is so good he should still be starting

Gentry isn't that much of a hard ass with rookies is he?

Even byron started d'angelo

 

[bosoxlover12]

CC, Ryan Kelly just signed with the Celtics lol

 

[elcheato]

The eastern conference favorites have just gotten stronger

 

[CameronCrazy06]

CC, Ryan Kelly just signed with the Celtics lol

How did they have roster space?

 

[bosoxlover12]

they cut Bentil

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Maybe Bentil never turns out, but I'd have to think he has more potential than Kelly. Seems like a weird move.

 

[bosoxlover12]

I'm not sure we're keeping Kelly either. We're still at 16 spots iirc

But Bentil was like that guy at pickup that ALWAYS shoots when he gets passed to. Boston loves to run a big up top to set up plays and create P&P opportunities, and he would always instead of passing to set up a better look just take the long two or three, and he's not a great shooter. Kinda infuriating

Regular season starts on Tuesday.
 
NBA has such a short offseason.
