2021 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: Media Day...SHENANIGANS

Fournier feeling hot off that Knicks contract

Another slow start of course. But KD will take over when it matters...seems like the whole team knows it too. France is gonna need to put up like a 20+ lead at the half as a cushion to have a chance

 

[darthska]

I just don't understand why we come out sluggish and slow against teams. I know the tournament is over after this game, but how do you address that as a coach, with THIS collection of talent?

Establish continuity, which won't happen.

Been a tough road trip for Dame

everyone not name KD and jru

Great to see Maria Taylor bounce back quickly. She had a Schroeder moment as well

How tho? She quit ESPN, the next day she was anchoring the olympics

 

[Maximus Meridius]

But nothing changed for Kevin Durant who wasn't a third option but a 1 A/B. It got worse for him in fact.

It's a lot of factors why it changed nothing for KD. Not the same.

They need to step back on those threes

 

[dman14]

france got a nice group of basketball players. think US will prevail with their hoopers

Dame Time is limited to American time zones.

a) Gasol - undeserved, was just anonymous in Memphis but was consistently excellent
b) Metta- Great player coming off of strong winning contributions to the Rockets, obviously shot himself in the foot with some of personal behavior but consistently excellent in his lane on the court.
c) Dwight- Top 5 player for years, led his team to the finals dropping 45 in a close out game. Crippled by injury back half of his career and became a limited role player.
e) Russ- Bad defender, can’t shoot, bad decision maker and one of the worst playoff/clutch performing stars of the last 20 years.

It’s not really the same as far as “changing narratives” goes.

Like I said NT can think whatever ya'll want but that's not how the media works. They jump on bandwagons, they love storylines. Everything you said about Russ most people not gonna care about that if he wins and don't let him make some clutch plays.

If we lose Durants records don't count

 

[darthska]

Good lort, France's ball movement.

Such a classic sound for roundball.

You’re not wrong I just feel that most of the guys you listed didn’t have the questions about their play that Russ has…. They just hadn’t won yet. Wasn’t a narrative to change in the same way.

 

[bathing chuck]

NBA on NBC goat intro song...

 

[freeze]

Bro soon as I turn it off, the international team ghosts. France might go scoreless the rest of the game.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Zach and Tatum going to trick off these switches

 

[dman14]

Vince not that bad. why they got to cut the audio

 

[Moheezy]

I can’t wait for Lillard to finish the Olympics so that he can come back and request a trade…

Spoiler

To Philly
