I’m pretty sure we already did :lol:

Think it was approximately 14 from going back through the thread last night. NT Jinx is one of the most powerful forces in the cosmos.
 
I didn't realize this but looking at the schedule, are there going to be a lot of in conference B2Bs this year to minimize chances of spreading COVID? I know they also only have the first half of the schedule out...what exactly are they waiting for or potentially going to do different in the second half?
 
Steph plays like ****:

What do you expect? He's 32. Barely even 6 foot tall. Can't expect him to live up to all the hype from 2 years ago. Can't compare him to bron and Kobe, that's not being fair. Still goat pg and best player in the league tho

Steph plays well:

*******
 
Really curious how high the ceiling is for high offense, bottom barrel defense teams are this season. Looking at you Nuggets and Blazers.

yes, to give themselves room to reschedule games if needed because of covid and finish the season somewhat on time

You get weird when it comes to Steph bro :lol:. I don't even hate him I just don't **** ride him. I knew he was capable of playing like this that's why I wasn't tryna hear the excuses. That's why I picked them to make the playoffs. I'm a fan of his just not in the same way that you are

I think they did it this way to allow for make ups and to adjust the national tv schedule. If the Hawks are like 25-12, then they should get more national games in the second half of the schedule. Likewise if the Warriors are like 12-25.
 
Where them damn boots at playa ?

All EYE said, is budddy needs to play better...and the disrespect is OD, misinformed and comes from a dumb place. Been consistent on that. Nothing has changed.

Idk why it bothers YOU so much, that EYE continue to speak on it when it happens :lol. We really don’t gotta engage about him man. I see it tickles you, and draws you for some reason lmao 🤦🏾‍♂️

It’s to minimize travel
 
I wish Shaq would be like other great players like Hakeem, KG, Kobe (RIP), etc and volunteer to work with young players. To my knowledge, I haven't heard of any young big man work with Shaq. Working with these guys one-on-one and showing them how to dominate is much better than just calling them out in the media whenever you get the chance.

tf is Shaq gonna do? Shaq was the most physically dominate big we ever seen, you can’t teach that :lol

Draymond is great because Trent fell asleep... that’s BS
 
Nobody argued against that. Y’all were using a 5 game stretch in the beginning of a 20-21 season as a referendum on if he was really “like that”....and doing some revisionist history and pretending things that happened never did :lol:

Steph gotta play better, set the tone early and he more aggressive for sure.And the dubs gotta adjust how the play.

I won't speak for others in here but I think I'm on the record saying that the slow start is not an indictment on his legacy. My only pushback is that I don't think he's head and shoulders above his peers. Personally, my opinion is Steph and Harden are closer together than you and others make them out to be. I believe the biggest differentiator between them has been the quality of teammates alongside them. That doesn't mean I don't think Steph is great. I just don't think he's as close to KD and LeBron as you do but I understand your reasoning for thinking he is. We've had this back and forth before and I don't think it benefits the thread to go back through it for 20+ pages when there is a 9 game slate tonight. I'm happy to continue this via PM if you'd like though because I genuinely do enjoy the discourse.

The same as it has always been, win a game or 2 as a low seed and bounced when it’s time to defend

Ahhh thanks, that makes sense! Also - do you think the NBA goes with the approach of scheduling pre-ASB and post-ASB separately for national TV scheduling purposes in the future? That would be a brilliant trend to continue IMO.

Don’t think so, it’s fairly easy to flex a game for National tv. It has happened just not as often

The scheduling being broken into two halves and the "baseball" series scheduling should stay, I think.
 
So is Draymond great or is he a bum? I need a reference point going forward.

I really don't recall them ever flexing NBA games on national tv. And if it ever happened, it was rare as hell.
