The Official NBA Season Thread: Fries Discourse | Mavs vs Jazz

[B Sox]

Not even close. Horford can shoot.

Yea if Evan can hit all those spot up and corner 3s, he's worth the max.

He can NOW. Wasn’t exactly the case back then.

 

[ballinsam23]

Allen is better right now but he’s also 4 whole years older too. Mobley at 22 >>>> Allen at 22

Allen knows his role and is a bit more valuable imo. He's a better scorer in the paint too when they dont play together.

With Evan we'll be banking on potential all the time. When he's bad, he's real bad.

I think if he just focuses on being a spot up shooter it would instantly make him a bigger threat. No need for any go to moves or fadeaways etc

 

[MVP]

Having Garland and Mobley at 200 mil each? No thanks

[Coupé It]

Tryna turn on Shai like this is nasty.

Naaa

The NBA community needs to stop acting like he’s some rook.

Maybe a little more pressure will do him good.

 

[B Sox]

SGA is 4 months younger than Tatum

Def has to be some pressure there.

200 mill about to be the new 100 mill

Tatum's also been in the playoffs every single season since being drafted

This is Shai's first time passed the play-in, not exactly the same thing

 

[WASHED KING]

Shai has had 4 seasons of playing at an AS level y'all being fr? This the same NT that got on me for saying Luka's grace period is up?

Y'all fr right now?

The gloves we treat these euros with is something to behold.

They are both better without each other. Management going to go with the younger guy who despite everything, has been productive. Won’t have to shoot as many jumpers if he’s the only big on the floor which is why he was successful against boston

 

[ballinsam23]

Turn on SGA is too early. It takes a team.

OKC got a taste of the playoffs. Realistically all these dudes need to hit their potential for them to be legit contenders. They have assets.

I'd give it another couple of years to see how they strengthen this roster.

 

[HIM]

They treat Shai like he’s 21.

He’s about to be 26 this Summer.

OKC needs to be on the “no excuses list.”

Oh now you see the light.

Why do Knicks fans dislike Mobley so much?

 

[rolaholic]

If OKC is team no excuses now because Shai's gonna be All-NBA then the team with the 'best player in the East' whos actually played in a Conference final sure as hell should be right there with them too

 

[Coupé It]

Na bro I’ve been saying this.

Everytime they mention Luka with him I’m like “you know Shai is older right?”

Nick just beat me to the punch this time.

 

[B Sox]

He’s an MVP candidate in his prime on the 1 seed in the West. It’s go time

 

[elpablo21]

I'm loving the uplifting being done with the AAU players in the league the last few pages

on very little sleep as far as I can tell as well aepps20

 

[RustyShackleford]

Y'all ************* turned on Book after one Finals run

If Shai lets the Slovenian beat him, I better hear some bars slandering him too

 

[WASHED KING]

Cats ready to slander Shai like like Luka ain been doing the same thing for 6 years???

 

[nick.]

 

[WASHED KING]

Y'all mother****ers turned on Book after one Finals run

If Shai lets the Sloviena beat him, I better hear some bars slandering him too

The second Book aligned himself with being one of the lightskin Kobe disciples it was cooked for him.

Tatum, Book, Trae Young. None of them getting a fair shake in here.

 

[rolaholic]

He’s an MVP candidate in his prime on the 1 seed in the West. It’s go time

This would be like saying that Memphis was on the No Excuse list the year that Ja had his jump and they were a top seed with everything falling in place for them

I don't remember them being considered that at all or them getting bounced by a more experienced squad being a surprise to people either.

 

[Coupé It]

Cats ready to slander Shai like like Luka ain been doing the same thing for 6 years???

Shai hasn’t been good enough to carry a his team to the playoffs for the last 6 years.

So he gets a pass for that?

Well I’ll be damned.

 

[WASHED KING]

Also I expect the Spurs to have a winning season next year.

TICK TICK TICK WEMBY. I better see 27-10 with 3+ blocks a game.

If they don't win at least 41 games we need to have some conversations.

 

[ballinsam23]

I'm gonna need there to be a miracle and the Wolves extend this series tonight.

 

[Brownstone]

A lot of Wolves slander in here (deservedly so)

I see a bounce back game tonight though

I think going forward this team still trades Towns, running it back after the year they have had would be tough to justify without some change to roster
