A new NBA thread (HYPER HYPED DRAFT SUPER EDITION)

Gobert just squashing some Spaniards.

With Kevin Durant injured, there's noting standing in the Jazz's way to a championship.

Durant was never good enough to stop the Jazz.

[badfo]

I don't.

[fallenchicken]

The most important Australian ever.

Darnell Mayberry: Mitch McGary on Steven Adams: "I like Steve. He calls me his young fella. I understand b/c I'm a rook. But I'm over a year older than him.

[badfo]

Ibaka said he didn't know who Mitch was either. Classic Ibaka. Textbook Mitch.

Luckily for Mitch we have some useless dudes to carry his weed for him.

[badfo]

The Thunder are being punished for a few seasons ago when Kevin Martin made it through the whole season while staying healthy.

[fallenchicken]

One season of a healthy Kevin Martin is a shitty thing to spend your karma on.

It's going to be tough start for the Thunder. The'll survive--Westbrook, Ibaka, and Jackson is still a very capable core, imo--but that's certainly not a top team in the west, especially considering that outside of those three players, the thunder don't have a lot going on. On the bright side (?), if they get off to a bad start, this might present a good opportunity to finally depose Brooks.

In other injury news, Oladipo broke his face in practice.

[Sobchak]

Damian Lillard is gonna win every award this year

I'm about to kill fantasy.

[badfo]

You're about kill the Thunder tonight.

We brought nine players to this back-to-back with Portland and the Clippers. We have one healthy backup perimeter player and it's Sebastian Telfair. Andre Roberson and Perry Jones are going to play as many minutes as they can without fouling out. Ay dios mio.

[badfo]

Perry Jones is playing PG right now. This is a real thing.

[badfo]

Thunder just ran elevator doors for Ibaka.

[fallenchicken]

Ibaka! So Close!

What if Westbrook got injured too?

[badfo]

He fractured his hand apparently. Fun times.

[fallenchicken]

I'm not saying the Based God's curse is real...

But Kevin has to make good with Lil B.

[fallenchicken]

It's hard to watch Derrick Rose play basketball because you know something terrible's about to happen.

[Sobchak]

OKC needs a Bacta tank.

[badfo]

OKC needs a Lazarus Pit.

So far Cleveland isn't the best offense in league history.

[pano]

Australian media is reporting that Exum single-handedly beat Phoenix into submission.

You're welcome, chicken.

[fallenchicken]

That's not quite how it happened. He played well, though. He's been hitting his open 3s, which is important.

[pano]

Chicken, Australian sports media never exaggerates Australia's sporting achievements.

Did you know Joe Ingles also plays for us? He looks pretty solid.

[isgrelindisguise]

The Kings are going all the way this year, right?
