The Official NBA Season Thread: I’m like Jayson Tatum in the Olympics I'm not playing

[mister friendly]

Rudy’s got a reputation so I get why everyone’s on his *** - and I agree they gotta just move on this summer.

But in his defense if you’re calling another grown man a ***** in a high-intensity situation, you’re probably getting swung on.

That’s what I’m trying to understand, What is Rudy is doing to warrant vitriol from teammates?! He’s a pretty accomplished and for a journeyman like Kyle Anderson to feel comfortable to talk to him with disrespect over some bad plays.

So far Officer Jim has yet to miss the playoffs. If there any other player in league history with that feat greater than 14 years?

 

[WASHED KING]

Time to revisit the Luka > Harden convo?

T'Wolves traded four-five players from a successful team last season for him, and re-did their defense to better suit Gobert. I'm sure some of the holdovers feel some type of way about him and the trade.

I said that before^

I felt like Luka real comp is James Harden. And Luka is being crowned something as a super high usage player that Harden never was.

The only player i’ve ever seen play a super high usage brand of basketball and be successful is Lebron cuz he’s an alien. And he plays(ed) good defense, was amazing in the open court and did occasionally cut and move off ball.

HOU$TON

Good to see him improve him.

Bron went 13 years straight but missed 2019. But been 15 out of 16 years.

Well I stand corrected then!

Because I had no that’s what happened. Damn he called Gobert a *****

Yea, once you start lighting off the B word or SMD’s it’s fair game.

I agree.

Define success. Harden was an MVP, his Rockets team was a consistent threat as a contender and was one win away from beating the KD warriors.

Luka is 24, made it to the Western Finals, multiple time all star and multiple time first team NBA.

You can also say the same with Iverson in 2001.

If your definition of success is a Championship, then you have an argument.

Playoff Luka vs Playoff Harden?

[HOU$TON]

HOU$TON

He impressed me as the season went on. If the rockets nail the new coach hire and remedy the PG situation, then I think Jabari will probably benefit the most of our current players. He’s a hard worker and doesn’t shy away from the big moments.

 

[getback]

6 MOTY comp

Give me the more efficient dude and guy better statistically in pretty much every category.

Player 1

Player 2

 

[HOU$TON]

Tyus should be starting for the rockets next season if they don’t land harden

 

[getback]

It's gonna be a toss up. But Brogdon only played 67 games so the totals are pretty moot.

If we're doing it that way Tatum is the scoring champ.

Passive-aggressive trade request because I have to believe Dame is smart enough to know the Blazers aren’t in a position to acquire the kind of vets that would make them a contending team.

 

[DLF]

Mavs can be fined UP to 5 million.

Hope they speed up the investigation.

How dense can mavs FO be. Kidd snitched on the management on his way out lol

Dame is getting kind of annoying, man He stays talking about how ****** his situation is without trying to change said situation. Just ask for a trade request and be done with it.

Sunday truce getting disrespected like crazy today

Sundays active these days so yesterday’s events in the league fits ….The truce long gone, it’s “Sunday Funday” now and anything goes
