Top Ten Best Offensive NBA Teams Coming Into the 2019-20 Season
Offense is a very big part of the game. Something that is perfected and brought to a science. It is the way you score points. You can score in multitudes of ways and it is the coaches responsibility to build an offense that can do that. The teams on this list will be based off of coach system and the players themselves.
The Los Angeles Lakers are an American professional basketball team based in Los Angeles. The Lakers compete in the National Basketball Association, as a member of the league's Western Conference Pacific Division.
Head coach: Frank Vogel
Arena/Stadium: Staples Center
NBA championships: 2020, 2010, 2009, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1988, 1987, 1985, 1982, 1980, 1972, 1954, 1953, 1952, 1950, 1949
Owners: Philip Anschutz, Ed Roski Jr., Patrick Soon-Shiong, Joey Buss, Johnny Buss, Jesse Buss, Jim Buss, Jeanie Buss, Janie Buss
Did you know: The Los Angeles Lakers have the second-highest all-time NBA regular season win-loss record percentage (.598) among all current NBA teams. I think the Lakers will have the best offense. First let's look at the coaches. We got Frank Vogel who isn't bad and we got some pretty good assistants with Jason Kidd and Lionel Hollins. They have very defensive minded coaches, but just look at this team overall. LeBron and AD is an instant success. They have LeBron playing Point with AD at his natural position. I love both of those moves. They got Danny Green who is a lights out three point shooter. They got Kyle Kuzma and they will probably have a dominant big man coming off the bench.
The Milwaukee Bucks are an American professional basketball franchise based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Bucks compete in the National Basketball Association as a member team of the Eastern Conference Central Division. This Bucks team is still a high powered monster. They got Giannis and they kept Khris Middleton, Brook Lopez, and added a few more pieces. Bud Ball was one of best offenses last year and expect it to be excellent again. If Giannis takes another step in his shot he may be in contention for GOAT down the line.
The Houston Rockets are an American professional basketball team based in Houston, Texas. The Rockets compete in the National Basketball Association, as a member of the league's Western Conference Southwest Division. The Rockets have a very dynamic offense. First a Mike D'Antoni offense will always be on this list. Second I think Harden and Westbrook can play well together and Capela can provide a dump down to these two at all times and Westbrook can get Harden some open looks. Lastly they have pretty good shooters around them.
The Sacramento Kings are a professional basketball team located in Sacramento, California. Competing in the NBA, they belong to the Western Conference Pacific Division. Although championship success has been elusive, the team has a dedicated fan base. Their colors are purple, silver, and black. In my opinion one of the most underrated team in the league. This offense is going to be really good. We get to see Luke Walton run this team and he likes playing fast basketball and that fits in with this team identity. They obviously have De'Aaron Fox who might already be a top ten point in the league. They have a much improved Buddy Heild to make big shots. They have Bogdan Bogdanovic as a fire starter. Then of course they will have a second year Marvin Bagley. This Kings team is scary.
The Brooklyn Nets are an American professional basketball team based in the borough of Brooklyn, in New York City. The Nets compete in the National Basketball Association as a member of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference. I mean Kyrie is one of the best players in the league offensively and DeAndre Jordan is a good roll option. I would put them a lot higher, but they will be without KD for at least most of the season. I love Caris Levert either off the bench as a 6th man or starting. In case DeAndre Jordan doesn't work out they got Jarrett Allen and Spencer Dinwiddie for Kyrie. They also got some excellent shooters, especially Joe Harris. That is all capped off by Kenny Atkinson genius.
The Utah Jazz are an American professional basketball team based in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Jazz compete in the National Basketball Association as a member club of the league's Western Conference Northwest Division. Mike Conley boosts this team tremendously. Him and Donovan could work out well. Getting Bojan was smart as well. He can provide a lot of punch either off the bench or in the starting lineup.
The Dallas Mavericks are an American professional basketball team based in Dallas, Texas. The Mavericks compete in the National Basketball Association as a member club of the league's Western Conference Southwest Division. Luka and Porzingis. I think that is enough said. Rick Carlisle is a great coach and the Mavericks are known to do it right. They also have a very solid point in Jalen Brunson and if they can get shooters this team will be an offensive juggernaut.
The Golden State Warriors are an American professional basketball team based in San Francisco. The Warriors compete in the National Basketball Association as a member of the league's Western Conference Pacific Division.
Location: San Francisco, CA
Arena/Stadium: Chase Center
Head coach: Steve Kerr
NBA championships: 2018, 2017, 2015, 1975, 1956, 1947
Owners: Joseph S. Lacob (majority), Peter Guber The Warriors are on this list because of Curry. He could go back to MVP status this year because he simply has to carry. We will get to see if Steve is truly a good coach since he will be without Klay and Durant and this will be first time he is truly tested.
The Philadelphia 76ers are an American professional basketball team based in the Philadelphia metropolitan area. I mean Joel Embiid is the best Center in the league and Ben Simmons is a top 20 player at the least. They also kept a third scorer in Tobias Harris and got Josh Richardson who is one of the best role players in the league. Brett Brown is also an good offensive coach.
The New Orleans Pelicans are an American professional basketball team based in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Pelicans compete in the National Basketball Association as a member club of the league's Western Conference Southwest Division. The only reason they are this low is because of the overall age of this team. This team might be number 1 in a few years. We always have to start with Zion. Zion is just a pure beast. Lonzo has the potential to be a top 5 guard in this league. He might already be the best passer. Brandon Ingram is a great all-around player. J.J. Redick can flat out shoot and on occasions so can Josh Hart.
The Suns honestly have potential, but they have just sucked. Devin Booker is truly a premier scorer though and the Suns adding Ricky Rubio could help DeAndre Ayton get involved. They have the possibility of having a dynamic offense. Probably the best since Steve Nash and Amare Stoudamire.
The Miami Heat is an American professional basketball team based in Miami, Florida. The Heat compete in the National Basketball Association as a member of the league's Eastern Conference Southeast Division. The Heat definitely have the potential. Jimmy Butler is a premier player. If they can surround him with the right pieces it could be big. Erik Spoelstra is a great coach as well. One of the best in my opinion.
The Los Angeles Clippers, often abbreviated as the LA Clippers, are an American professional basketball team based in Los Angeles. I can see a little awkwardness with Kawhi and PG offensively. They definitely have great scorers though with Kawhi, PG, Lou Williams, and Montrezl Harrell. Doc Rivers is a great coach as well.
The Detroit Pistons are an American professional basketball team based in Detroit, Michigan. The Pistons compete in the National Basketball Association as a member of the league's Eastern Conference Central Division. I mean Blake Griffin is a great scorer and we could see a revitalized Derrick Rose.
The Minnesota Timberwolves are an American professional basketball team based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The Atlanta Hawks are an American professional basketball team based in Atlanta, Georgia. The Hawks compete in the National Basketball Association as a member of the league's Eastern Conference Southeast Division. I love the offense the Hawks have created. Trae Young is a great scorer and he has great pieces around him.
The Portland Trail Blazers, commonly known as the Blazers, are an American professional basketball team based in Portland, Oregon. I mean they still got Dame and CJ. They got a dynamic roll big man in Hassan Whiteside and they got another traditional big man that had a huge season last year in Jusuf Nurkic.
The Boston Celtics are an American professional basketball team based in Boston, Massachusetts. They are specifically known for honing infamous players such as Larry Bird, Bill Russell, Paul Pierce, and more. They are also known for having the most championships in NBA History, with 17 total.
