The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Begins | Embiid Debut | Klay Return

[Mister Meaner]

The league today is again run by bigs & Knicks have Beyblading Julius as the man there.

None of the experts call Brunshim 1A neither. Can’t be on anyone’s no excuses list w/o bonafide stars as I been told.

 

[aepps20]

Everyone that posts on NT is on my no excuses list.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Yall been watching the same Laker team I have all year.

They ain't a threat to win the title and we all know it.

But somehow they are on a no excuse list....

You still got Lebron and AD been healthy and as good as he’s ever been . Off a WCF run. Reaves was getting put in conversations I could dig up.

Y’all still there but the money burning red like rush hour 2.

Reaves received a lot of hype. He isn't what he was hyped up to be but he isn't horrible either.

All I'm saying is this. I understand why they got put on the "no excuse list" at the start of the year.

After 40 plus games....they aren't it. Maybe if a move is made and they play better cool.

But yall want to keep them on the no excuse list just to get the ALA stuff going and yada.

I know where this team is...

Yall put them wherever yall want.

I just got scolded by sohi 23 about not giving Anthony Davis his due

Automatic no excuses

 

[lovehateself]

if the lakers are on any of your #noexcuses lists
yall better have Golden State on it too

EYE was told this was
"a season for the books, #5 OTW, ON NT etc"

A move is definitely coming to LA.

No chance the Lakers sit idly by.

That I think we all agree on.

 

[Mister Meaner]

OG fitna get a nice DPOY push & Thibs gonna give him the minutes to get there.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I mean to be fair he arguably out coached Nurse in the Sixers vs Raptors series.

Also weren't you very critical of Nurse when he was in Toronto?

People have been calling nurse out for the years after kawhi left

Was funny seeing the inadvertent nurse love after griffin got fired

No excuses top 10

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Your franchise doesn’t pose a threat to us and your doofus fanbase always think they’re contenders. I don’t need to say anything else

Oh wow what have I been missing today

 

[Coupé It]

No excuses top 10

I know you want to put the Knicks on the list.

But you shouldn’t be giving Dallas an out just to do so.

Dallas should be on that list bro.

 

[da r entertainment]

Oh the coaching fraternity is definitely upset about this. Even if it is Doc.

Not even. This gig was way over AGs head from jump. The Stotts incident started a chain of events that he would never overcome unless he won a chip.

 

[akajae]

Don’t get the obsession with these same passed around coaches.

Thought you were talking about Draya. Either way I agree.

soooo y’all believe me now when I say my Spurs are making the playoffs.

WCF is a real Possibility. Best player in the league and the supporting cast is pretty good too. Genuine young Core.

No Excuses

Dallas should be on that list bro.

They have an auto excuse in Qyrie

 

[RustyShackleford]

Warriors still gotta be on the No Excuses list, simply off the strength of this masterpiece from September....

If they’re a top 4 team, and capable of winning a round…with a more playoff ready roster. I love their chances.

Let’s be realistic on their ceilings here. They have one of the 3 best players in the league. One of the best coaches, and a core with continuity and chemistry. Plus emerging young talent. You know, the Kuminga thing COULD WORK. Not like we haven’t seen it before. Especially with players growing. He and moody will be better. Which is a plus. Klay seems to be back now. Steph is Steph (stay as healthy as possible). And Draymond is declining (real issue). It is not absurd to think this team is a conference finals team. And when there, I like their chances against the field.

Say what you want about cp3, but he’s proven he’s more of a positive…up until a certain point. You take your chances with that. He just has to be a vet and do the little things. He’s more than capable of adjusting.

None of what I’m saying is really crazy. You’re betting on the aging core to not make it, and Kerr-Kuminga to not work, and Draymond Cp3 to not work. That’s a lot of hypotheticals.

I’m betting on the professionals and 4x champs, who won 24 months ago.

The only bet in more shambles is one of finessence 's parlays

Doc better not play with the buck's meat and goof this gig
#NoExcuses

This was before I knew Pop was tanking for Topić

 

[Coupé It]

That’s not an excuse.

That’s a decision THEY made.

They’re all-in.

Doc better not play with the buck's meat

Seeing Giannis’ interviews, that’s probably exactly what he brought him for

 

[picasso swerve]

the brand has had to fight the stigma of being "cheap" & unappealing in design for most of its life, but they really have made strides in their performance shoe wear, particularly for the outdoors. basketball is good road for them

i don't care for the elitist stuff that prevents a kid from wearing these sneakers out of fear of being made an example of, particularly if they don't have access to $200 sneakers, ya know?

The Skechers Resagrip (what JR been wearing) is a legit good looking shoe. I woudnt be ashamed of wearing those.

 

[Benny Hinn]

Knicks and Mavs never had any “championship or bust” talk so they off the No Excuses list.

Celtics, Sixers, Bucks, Nuggz, Wolves, OKC, Clips and Suns are #NoExcuses for sure. . Add Lakers too since so many folks had them Top 3 before the season.

Don’t see this list changing.
