And only if KD, Steph, Harden and Donovan Mitchell aren't.
My prepping for the season. Haven't been this excited for NBA season opening in a long, long time. Maybe since VC era (which crashed and burned multiple times after 2000-01 playoffs). Hoping for the best for my Raps. Malachi Richardson on the top left and Van Vleet on the right.
Demar was out of the conference of Lebron for 2 weeks out of his entire career.
Two fucking weeks.
We can best utah for sure. Rockets probably too. Rockets are worse this year and thunder are quite better.
Could be quite bwtter I shud say
Lmao he's traded by the deadline and even if he sticks around for one season you'll get bounced in the 2nd round

I think we'll still see a few trades even before the season starts — we need to get rid of Ibaka somehow.

Yea he was awful especially in the playoffs. He had good moments in the reg but he isn't what he used to be.
So much drama about his real age too lmao
What do you think Mitchell's stats will be next year? I have a feeling he'll score 23-25 pts a game on 47%-50% FG
Less FG%, and on the upper end of your points prediction, possibly a bit more. If the Jazz had added some kind of scorer like Tyreke Evans his attempts would go down and his points might not change much, it would just be a higher efficiency. But it's basically the same team. He'll need to shoot a lot again, just a small FG% boost would really bring up the points. He also might learn how to draw contact better which could help.
I want to see how his defending improves. He has all the tools to be great on that end. He was touted as a defensive guy coming out of college and then he became a great scorer out of nowhere.
I'll be a homer and say 26/4.2/4.6 on 45/36/83, he really felt like an automatic 25 the ladder half of the season, he was trying to make up for his awful stats the first 10 games all season.
Rockets are a little worse than when they were historically great. They're still going to be great.
Raps signing Ibaka to that huge contract was bizarre, he wasn't even that great that first season. You'd think Masai of all people would know his age situation, too.
Hmmm. Looks like a prime suspect in the vandalization of the latest LeBron mural.

Yea but I don't think the cast will be back. They haven't asked the dude who plays Jim, and Steve Carrol won't come back.
thats the thing about the NBA there is always a worse contract to trade for. IE Joakim Noah.
All things considered OKC did about the best they could hope for.
OKC got 2 live basketball assets and saved 70M for a pick and an expiring contract. they got a serviceable deal that makes them margainly better.
most NBA fans now are too concerned with owners wallets and value for money then pure basketball value.
It'll be close but it's not clear cut.
Thunder didn't really get better. Adam's will probably improve his game and hopefully get better. Roberson will hopefully have healed fully but I think a Patellar rupture is a tad serious, he's also a offensive blackhole. In the playoffs Paul George missed a shit load of fucking shots so it'll have to be seen if he chokes again, idk.
Meanwhile the Rockets lost two key contributers, but CP3 and Harden are still very good players. You have an elite playmaker on the floor at all times. They 4-1'd the team that 4-1'd you guys lol.
And Utah, top defensive team, Mitchell will go even further beyond next season, Gobert is better than Adams and only a year older, Rubio is expanding his game and becoming better, etc.

Also, we might finally find out why Karen skipped town and changed her name to Ann Perkins.
First impressions of 2k for the real ones: https://www.gameinformer.com/preview/2018/07/21/eight-exciting-changes-coming-to-nba-2k19s-gameplay
Thank god they're working on clipping!:

Looks like they're going to OP the fire icon thingy. But I like it since it gives non go to players a chance I think.
I'm already used to the layup timing in 2k18 but a meter would also be nice though we'll be watching the meters again instead of the animation.
Overall, I'm excited, I'm just a play now and MyGM player so whatever issues that might occur with VC points for MyPLAYER and other stuff won't bother me.
And oh, hopefully they stop the scripted MyGM thing, the first season was annoying. The CPU forcefully traded Lauri for Beasley. Dafuq.
Reading those 2k change notes just makes me angry all over again, rather than making me feel like giving them another chance. That fucking vanishing shot-meter on layups bullshit is incomprehensible.
Thanks for sharing
I do really hope animation improves because graphically and animation wise the game hasn't had major upgrades since this Gen started
Even on 4k the visuals are really not super impressive the basketball isn't even well modeled or detailed
NBA live 18 despite whatever flaws it may have and I don't know all of them graphically and animation wise it is a generation ahead of 2k18 unfortunately and it's quite disappointing to see 2k rest on their laurels while their sales are so well above live
I don't want to wait until ps5 for a 2k graphics upgrade but we'll probably have to
For me I don't buy NBA games other than for technology gameplay rosters and exhibition games so anything else like vc cash bullshit or myplayer updates I have zero interest in
The thunder RETAINED their elite units. Rockets lost one in Ariza and a good player in Mbab.
The thunder now have a MUCH better backup PG and have a true backup center in Noel.
Thunders bench will be drastically better and PG Russ and Adams can now rest.
Andre is questionableand we will have to see if he can still play his defense game or as good.
And we lost Melo. Who is great but not for us.
Thunder have the ability to be a much better team. Rockets and Utah will be the same. Rockets maybe a little less
All of it useless unless they say "no VC to improve your player."
Rockets will most likely keep their 3 best players. And they would've beaten you guys easily last yearn.
Noel and Schroder are unproven. Maybe they'll work maybe not. But Mitchell being a ROTY candidate will improve.
Saying you guys have a better chance makes sense. But I don't think you guys will beat Utah "easily" unless Gobert is injured.
I agree as the rosters are constructed right now the Thunder will be better and the Rockets will be worse than last year. But even so, I think you're underestimating how big of a gap there was between the two teams last year. The Rockets were 1 game from the championship. The Thunder lost in the first round. Houston is still clearly better. And I still believe Daryl Morey is going to make another move before the trade deadline to try and replace what he had in Ariza.
This is the first time I've ever heard someone say Live was better graphically and animation wise. Is that really the consensus? Because 2k looked and felt way better to me (though I honestly didn't play Live all that much... who has time for two sim bball games?)
As far as the shot meter goes, did anyone like 2k18's one? It actually got a lot easier making baskets just turning it off completely.
I wish they had an option to just play offline. Then I wouldn't have to worry about VC or worse, the freaking disconnects that wipe out your game. It's also super annoying to have to be on the internet to play it on the Switch.
