The Official NBA Season Thread: Free Agency Day

Luka gotta score 40+ and hope the other guys can hit some 3s. Not impossible. But Cs got the guys to slow everybody else down.

Even factoring out the 3’s the Mavs bigs got dominated. Wasn’t expecting that going into the series.

The Tatum hate is weird. Sure, he’s done some goofy stuff, but none of it seems bad enough to me to justify how much some people seem to dislike him.

These dudes don't need a reason to hate on the Celtics

I cheer against the C’s, there’s like 12 people why

You just described the discourse for every other player in the NBA

I’d say that’s a bit extreme since I think there are plenty of players who don’t really have haters, but I suppose it’s true that all vocal, aggressive hating on particular players tends to be irrational.

You can say that for just about any of the top guys .

Fair. To say every other player is extreme

You can say that for just about any of the top guys .

This is more accurate

Tatum isn't immune for what is basically the normal discourse that happens to the top players in the league

But If you think the discourse in general is weird. That would make sense

I'll say it every time but KD was right

The Lakers love hiring coaches with the initials DH so much

You already know Dwight Howard will be the next Laker coach after Hurley

Roku was replaying Game 7, 2016 NBA Finals

Chills all over again

Lebron is No. 2 to Mike, love this man.

 

[smedroc]

You could ship Tatum out for a 2nd rounder and this would still be a championship team

Facts.

Tatum basically prime Trevor Ariza at this point.

Ready for everybody I quoted to post except Bert.

Probably because he isn't a Superstar

Great player doe

First Team All-NBA for three straight seasons but not a superstar?

He's not at the level of someone like Jokic but absolutely in the top 5-7. Going to have a championship on his resume in ten days. Tatum has had the benefit of a great front office surrounding him with great players but we don't need to change the criteria.

 

[B Sox]

No superstars, true underdog team

 

[you go boy]

I thought Brad was a good coach but he's actually a better gm

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

No superstars, true underdog team

He’s gonna keep getting away with this!

 

[B Sox]

Interesante!

True, feels hard to say when we’re going through this era of most of these superstars being all-time guys. But if PG is a superstar then Tatum is a superstar.
