The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

[pmatic]

Bulls are really the most unserious franchise. Just kept shaking my head watching the game last night.

They were in it for a half and then that was it.

They asked Scal on the broadcast last night if he was surprised they didn’t make any moves at the deadline and he basically laughed and said he had no clue what they’re doing.

Have just enough talent to be smack in the middle with absolutely zero upside.

2021 Bucks the least credible chip team in recent memory.

Not talked about enough.

 

[pmatic]

Talking down on Jimmy still.

 

[B Sox]

Not talked about enough.

What’s funny is that they definitely would’ve lost to the Nets if dudes were healthy and/or Durant’s foot was smaller.

But then next year, they definitely would’ve beat the Celtics if Middleton wasn’t hurt.

Giannis had 50 in a closeout game. Be respectful

A credible rings list might beat out the No excuses power rankings

 

[B Sox]

I for sure thought the Celtics were winning that title.

Curry came in different.

Curry was awesome and 23 year old Tatum had the worst series of his career. He choked. Even though this year’s Celtics team is much better, they still aren’t winning much if Tatum is bad.

Giannis sneakily put his foot out in front and got Kyrie injured. Another thing also not talked about enough.

Bucks players (forgot which ones) said they all felt they were done that series until that happened.

Jimmy's performance in Game 4 against the Bucks last year was one of the most insane things I've ever seen. Just obliterating everyone MIL threw at him and talking cash **** the whole time.

2019: Klay played 4.75 out of 6, other than KD. Team was more or less the same as the previous 2 rings. OG was out the whole playoffs. FOH about injured. Steve had every chance to prove himself and win his first career fmvp and crumbled under pressure. Got clamped by an undrafted player.

 

[Coupé It]

The whole Miami run was just insane last season.

I’ve never seen anything like that in general.

Boys were minutes away from getting kicked out by the Bulls.

 

[WASHED KING]

Are they really the worst team when Wiggins was playing at like an all star level and Poole wasn’t dog****?

Don’t think that Cs team was the best finals opponent of that span either. Only dude on the team really in his prime was Smart. Still think they should’ve won the series though.

This is what THEY do.

Miami might have been cooked if DDR's daughter didn't have to go to school

 

[WASHED KING]

Beating Jayson Tatum is now some world class accomplishment B?

Jimmy Butler does it every season dawg. STOP IT.

Not good enough. He tried to get free chick fil a in the city the next day and the manager said you have to go back to back to earn that.

Bro was running from FVV.....THEY don't ever talk about it.

This is why you can’t have nice things

Bron classroom is him, Mike and Kareem. That's it.

SAS flocked around, and is now finding out

 

[getback]

You asking for rational behavior from people high on heroin and/or with severe mental health issues

Yeah I’m at least gonna need better efficiency from the fiends.

Heroin addicts around here hold down 9-5’s while faded

They need to level up in the Bay

 

[WASHED KING]

Bron classroom is him, Mike and Kareem. That's it.

A. Brons

B. Everyone else.

Until we see someone play at this level for 20+ years I'm not putting them in that room. I need to see 20 All-NBA Selections. If y'all boy Wemby doesn't get at least 15 of them things he's a bust.

I agree. I just don’t get why ppl still have expectations as if he isn’t the guy he’s always been especially with Joel out

I expect the team to look better once Lowry gets more acclimated but there’s no flow to the offense without him

Yup. I kinda liked what Lowry had to offer. Having Lowry, Maxey, Batum, and Embiid on the floor together is putting in high IQ guys.

I think this is just rust (which is disappointing), let's see how they play out today. I also realize it's Nico's first game back after injury so i'd wait to see how he looks next week.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Knicks fans can’t even vote Brunson as a starter and you see what NOP is willing to do for their guy

Of topic, for you guys that play BB outdoors on concrete and/or asphalt, what ball are you using?

I have. Wilson and Spalding and both have horrible grip. The ball slides instead of sticking to the hands. Thanks.
