2016 NBA Preseason Thread

They only lost cause draymond hit steven adams in the groin a few times that when he did it to lebron, they had to suspend him

If bron was his first, i dont think he gets suspended

I love the cavs but draymond sitting definitely helped

 

[Mexi]

The draymond kd and klay dynamic is definitely interesting to me

Theyre still going to walk to the finals, but i think its draymond who will take the step back this year

No doubt

 

[Mexi]

I wouldn't be shocked to see a new death lineup

Kd
Shaun
Iggy
Klay
Steph

 

[Paulius]

Lol green has too be in the death line up.... his versatility, defense and passing

 

[Mexi]

Im just not sure how he and kd will mesh offensively
Especially with zaza starting

 

[Paulius]

Draymond doesnt care about offense nor taking shots

 

[Mexi]

draymond is gonna get a lot of open 3s this year

Rose was cleared of all counts yesterday, but not one word is said about it anywhere as far as I know.
 
People are so quick to condemn anyone that is accused of sexual assault, but when charges get dropped, or if they're ruled innocent, no one bats an eye at the accuser.
 
False rape accusations are a disturbing trend.  It's a slippery slope, but they should be taken more seriously.

Kobe got over it, so will Rose.
 
It's a bigger problem for non celebrities I'd assume.

You know what's an even more disturbing trend? Unreported rapes, which far outweigh and outnumber false accusations.

How is that statistic even collected?

 

[elcheato]

It's done through crime victimization surveys, then compared to official statistics. That's how unreported crimes get calculated for anything. Assault, rape, murder, etc. 
 
Hard to get a specific number of unreported rapes obviously, but it's a problem. 

 

[Hurricane Season]

One doesn't make the other okay... it's all terrible.
 
Rape is not good.  That's my stance.

 

[elcheato]

I'm against rape, and I'm not afraid to admit it

 

[buzzy]

This belongs in the hot takes thread

 

[Thomas-Panda-Saxby]

As expected, DRose beat the case. Let's get him in that lineup.

 

[Mexi]

These guys on nba xm were saying they see the rockets as "outside looking in" for the playoffs

Like, who the fuck is going to beat them out? Denver? Minnesota? New Orleans?
Ok...

And then you have dallas who is iffy so that could be 2 spots open

And I think houston is better than all those teams
