NBA 2015/16 thread. The season before Simmons, Summer League starts in a week

Dubs only lose to scrub teams.

Was just thinking that, theyve lost to who? Bucks, Pistons?

(I wont include Blazers as a scrub team cos they’re amazing :wink: )

Lakers, Bucks, Blazers, Mavs, Nuggets, and Pistons.

Blazers are ok. Pistons are at 500, Dallas are just traveling.

I think KJ was only about 6'1 or 6'3, not that tall for a PG :wink:
I think he's talking about Magic.

Klay and Steph go 1/18 from 3pt. That will N E V E R happen again surely.

Johnson does have one obvious advantage over every other point guard, what being a giraffe and all
Other guys might have beaten the Bulls in their prime, but he's I think the only all-star PG who's beaten AIDS.
Fair enough. Magic retired in 91 I think. I am not sure when KJ retired but I think he went on for a while after.

99/2000 so his career overlapped Payton’s almost 2 years. Johnson 2 including 96

Seemed like payton was around a lot earlier than then. Not sure when Shawn Kemp was at his prime probably when payton was. Where has all the time gone?

Payton started '90, Kevin Johnson '87. I’d definitely classify them as contemporaries.
Magic started in '80, forced to retire early. Isiah started '81

So some overlap, but I think most would consider the 80s as (roughly) the Magic-Bird era and the 90s as the Jordan-Ewing-Olajuwon era.

KJ & Payton (and Kemp) were 90s, Magic & Isaiah 80s.

Lakers what

Exum has withdrawn from Boomers squad for Olympics.
Shame but not unexpected. I don't think this is going to be our year now.

The next Olympics however…

Curry cold as ice, until

ESPN tipping it will go Simmons, Ingram & Bender 1,2,3

Until the rumors start coming out.

Cavs not that rusty, lead big at half time.

I’d be interested to see where Buddy Hield falls.

You wouldn’t think that Boston would pick him up at 3 with Thomas and Bradley (although Bradley doesn’t necessarily shoot the lights out so to speak).

The Suns have Booker but a 1-2 punch of Booker and Hield would be INSANE with one coming off the bench or Booker playing the 3.

Pelicans could use him as a ploy to get rid of Gordon who is on a contract that he received on potential and has not delivered on.

The Timberwolves or Pelicans could use him to help support Wiggins, LaVine, KAT and The Brow respectively.

Hell, even the Sixers could use his scoring at the 2 guard spot!

25.0 PPG
5.7 RPG
2.0 APG
1.3 stl
50.1 FG%
45.7 3PT%

Holy cow they are impressive stats.

Some serious home cooking there

That 4 is a real worry for OKC , kanter playing high ISO d is ugly

Steph with the Scotty Lucas elbow.

Yeh thats what I was thinking.

Ibaka is all over the show.

Steph with the Scotty Lucas elbow.

Ibaka being decent feels like such a long time ago.

So 1-1 and back to OKC.

This is going to be a hell of a series.
