2021 NBA Offseason Thread

Is anyone else not surprised that the Wizards now sport the worst defense in the league (we're 29th) now that Longabardi is coaching there? They are almost two full points below us and are challenging our worst ever rate from last year.

The Raptors are really fun. I just finished watching the game from this afternoon. Raptors were down thirty most of the way through the third, instituted a full-court trap, and came back to win the game with Lowry, RHJ, and a few other bench guys leading the way. Second biggest comeback in the NBA since 2000.

Nick Nurse continues to impress.

Great team, and Nick Nurse is showing that he can coach. East is going to be real interesting when the playoffs hit.

Can't wait for the NBA lockout (Luka's injury) to be over.

It seems that Utah had waived Jeff Green..

Best episode of snl I've seen on a longggg time.

Chris Boucher is so fun to watch. The guy doesn’t even think about the play, he just shoots. He’s also a monster defensively. I’m also happy to see RHJ playing so well.

Jaylen Brown is looking like a steal... hot damn.

Always thought Masai Ujiri was overrated but I'm starting to be a believer. He's built a championship roster, instilled Nick Nurse and now found multiple, quality role players to somehow compensate for your star player leaving. Some unknown, some given up on... It's really impressive.

Not to mentions finding Siakam, FVV etc. Really stellar job over there.

I know the Bucks have been spectacular this season. And so I don’t want to overreact. But this game exposed a few of their weaknesses.

I also think it shows that, if Philly can find a few playable shooters, they can easily win the East.


It’s been a bad week for Simmons, and I understand his limitations, but he sees holes in transition defense better than anyone not named “LeBron.”

Great thread:

Doesn't change my view of the Bucks too much. Philly, 24th in the league in 3's per game, doubled their season average today with 21. That's a good formula to get the W against any team.

Thought the thread was just massive overreactions.

I don't say that to be contrarian. But for a Milwaukee fan to lose confidence in Budenholzer is....amazingly stupid.

He's been coach there 1 year and 20 something games and in that time he's won 62 games been to the conference Finals and currently has the best record in the NBA. Two seasons.

Just INSANE to doubt him at the moment.
