Nuggets: Quick memo, spurs failed to land Durant, Chris Paul and Kyrie :lmao

[UZER]

Still can't even make the playoffs.

All in the span of a year
Top 3 team in the league and still can't attract big names
80 page thread about Kyrie upstairs
Leo o being too autistic and socially awkward to attract free agents
Gonna waste his prime in that hole watching the Warriors ring
Lasoft being the highlight of the spurs free agency signings
Without big name free agents, good luck drafting another top 10 player
Slowly descending into irrelevancy
Seattle Spurs coming soon

Lmao but but we're a hot spot for free agents unlike LA :'(

You wouldn't like the Warriors if Kobe was still in his prime and you had to face them every year.



It did come out of nowhere, I knew they had some talent and the splash brothers but after Kerr took over he clearly made them smarter players. The talent was always there. I don't think LeBron saw it coming or even the Spurs.

Even I saw that coming:

What are the absolute ceilings for the 30 NBA teams this season? I am talking about no injuries, every thing goes right, ideal matchups in playoff levels of luck. Obviously doesn't include things like suddenly getting a trade of Lebron + Westbrook for a 2nd round pick, or all players in the other 29 teams died in separate accidents level of improbable events, but just what would transpire if everything goes well scenario.

Here are my takes:
ATL - ECF. With the coaching of Bud and the return of Horford, the Hawks can make some noise in the weak Eastern Conference
BOS - 10th to 11th seed in the East.
BKN - 2nd round. Providing Williams can get back to decent form.
CHA - 2nd round. This is really how weak the East is.
CHI - Finals. Can't see them beating whoever comes out West
CLE - Champs. I am not really sold on them, but best of the best case, I think they can possibly win it all.
DAL - WCF
DEN - 7th or 8th seed. First round loss. Really stretching it though.
DET - 1st round loss.
GSW - Champs. All the pieces are there, but they also have a lot of unknowns. Bogut's health is key, and Kerr's coaching can make or break this team as a championship level team.
HOU - 2nd round.
IND - 2nd round.
LAC - Champs. Not likely, but possible.
LAL - 10th seed in the West.
MEM - 2nd round
MIA - 2nd round
MIL - 10th seed
MIN - 10th seed
NOR - 1st round
NYN - 2nd round
OKC - Champs
ORL - 12th seed
PHI - Just miss playoffs, but likely to be bottom feeder
PHO - 1st round
POR - 2nd round
SAC - 10th seed
SAS - Champs
TOR - 2nd round
UTA - 12th seed
WAS - ECF

Bogut part was wrong, but overall Kerr was cited as the difference maker.

Isn't that what the Lakers have done basically every year since 2013?

Looks like a tall Jordan peel in drag.

Looks like a tall Jordan peel in drag.

Exactly. Kool's type of lady.

[daslicer]

and what make even better is that all the Warriors players looked up to Kobe growing up and has paid significant homage to Kobe the last 5 yrs. They all love my so they are all cool with me. Match made in heaven

They never looked up to Kobe. They say all that good about Kobe to sell their merchandise to bandwagon fans like you.

The writing is on the wall, the Clippers are destined to plunge into mediocrity. We had our chances.

You've been mediocre for years. Plunge? You mean "rise".
