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

[CJMcfly26]

Spurs will have a better record than Dallas, Houston, Utah and Minny.

 

[wavycrocket]

Steph masterclass year coming up!

 

[aepps20]

Who’s replacing White Dante?

The only thing I want to know. If it’s Tan Dario then that’s who people need to check in with to let him know that it’s all love and respect.

 

[T0INE]

A 39 year old that's never won is the ultimate win now move

The hoops Dubs fan having been going through to prop up CP3 after the trade has been funny and interesting to say the least when he was public enemy #2 behind Lebby for years.

After the Knicks went out sad last year, I think we’re taking a step back.

Warriors at 3 is comical. That team is old as **** with more miles than a Camry.

I think the Heat are too high, need to be lowered.

[Vincent Van Goat]

The last time he did this they traded a lot for jrue holiday

Wonder what will happen this time

 

[pmatic]

 

[Arthur Shelby]

 

[HOU$TON]

Spurs will have a better record than Dallas, Houston, Utah and Minny.

Care to wager? We can make it spurs vs rockets straight up

 

[MajinZuub]

Still can't believe that dork said he faked it because of the pressure of being Bron's kid

 

[MVP]

Uhhhh

 

[pmatic]

Giannis does a good job of periodically reminding the Bucks to stay on their toes and not be satisified.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Bucks are stuck. Aren't they in the repeater?

 

[MajinZuub]

Rookie head coach+aging roster. Definitely something to look out for.

 

[pmatic]

Bucks are stuck. Aren't they in the repeater?

Yep.

My hot take is they may need to move one of the other core guys like Jrue.

 

[reconic supreme]

this was fire

 

[lovehateself]

Steph masterclass year coming up!

If anyone can maximize his potential
It’s the “point god “ CP

 

[lovehateself]

Uhhhh

They about to sign Kostas

 

[elpablo21]

The Muse universe is out of hand

 

[WASHED KING]

Heard this story before and #4 was delivered
Just gonna sit back. Don't let us get another one

 

[rolaholic]

 

[smedroc]

Bucks won't be able to re-tool.

Giannis GARN.

 

[HOU$TON]

Yep.

My hot take is they may need to move one of the other core guys like Jrue.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

so let me get this straight

Harden wasn’t good enough to give up Terrance mann

But

James harden can yield jrue holiday

The math ain’t mathing
