The Official NBA Season Thread: USA Setting Up for a SFA

[sooperhooper]

Jokic only had 6 boards?! How?

 

[Nipsey3000]

That’s why I said (2nd round or better).

yeah. but i dont think lebron is in it for "2nd round or better"

which leads to a deeper conversation about the direction of the organization.

imo

 

[pmatic]

one day folks will realize that LBJ is getting old and this aint 2016

He can only play in 6-7 minute spurts and won't run back on defense ever, but he was playing at a top five level for a good portion of the year until he tore his foot tendon.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Ya not sure what these nerds don’t get.

Basketball nerds live in a bubble. “Oh I wanna see the magic vs the kings in the finals”

Stars have ruled the nba since 1940.

Nobody wants to watch that ****.

Not taking anything away from them. Good for them. Congrats to them. Enjoy it fans of those teams. Rejoice. Celebrate.

But still, most people ain’t tuning into that. Sorry.

I think it's more so the Heat, not based on anything CONCRETE though

A Nuggets Celtics matchup would get the casual viewer imo

 

[Nipsey3000]

I agree but he looked really good before the foot but that could be a fluke as well

agreed.

but, foot injury or not. lebron just cant carry this lakers team like he could have done in the past.

the lakers have to adjust for that in order to compete for rings

94 finals rockets/Knicks

 

[Tony $now]

Oh please. If GS won shirts would’ve been off for Steph. According to NT it’s ok to lose early in the playoffs than later anyways.

According to NT, it’s better to make it to the finals vs actually winning the championship. 4/10 is celebrated around these parts

Jokic only had 6 boards?! How?

Some of it was fewer minutes this game due to foul trouble, some of it was him being drawn away from the basket more often because of the offense the Lakers were running.

That series did numbers tho right?

 

[Nipsey3000]

i dont disagree at all.

he will still be 39 in december either way

and dont get it twisted, i am a big fan of lebron's game.

but father time catches us all, even LBJ

Yea of course. This is what I meant. Heat nuggets.

Celtics nuggets would do much better.

Celtics big famous team with a superstar.

Still: nba is the league of ultra stars. Players your grandma even knows. Lebron, Curry, Giannis, Morant (for the wrong reasons) lol

 

[freeze]

Bron and AD really making Reaves be their best players . That's crazy to me.

 

[DLF]

2nd and 3rd largest city in USA. Hakeem. Ewing. Yes

 

[elpablo21]

Can't agree with you on this one since the main narrative was surrounding the Suns and their depth (or lack thereof)

7, is pretty deep so long as all of them are positives and playable

Edit: or do you mean the Nuggets are deep enough? Which I agree with

Yeah I think they're unit is good enough to win it all for sure with those 7 just felt there was a misconception on how deep that bench really was like it was a 9 man rotation they could deploy deep into the playoffs

 

[earldagoat]

 

[freeze]

Game is like Rocky movies. Lakers getting beat up only to mount a comeback

Rocky died in the end.

 

[Coupé It]

2nd and 3rd largest city in USA. Hakeem. Ewing. Yes

Yea the potential Denver vs Miami Finals won’t..

But I can’t wait to watch it.

 

[picasso swerve]

Den/Mia gonna have terrible ratings but I do not give one **** cause im gonna enjoy watching it.

Didn’t the red states win the popular vote ?
They should do #s

 

[moe200069]

sports, man..

if only miami still had meyers leonard

MPJ vs Meyers would’ve been the MAGA-off we never knew we needed

 

[witnesskb24]

Extremely disappointed in the fans at Cryptocurrency for leaving early. This team wasn’t supposed to be here by all accounts and these celebs and “fans” should’ve stayed until the final buzzer. To be honest I’m starting to think that Crytocurrency arena is only a good home-court because the Lakers play better there not because of the “fans”. ESPN has us believing that arena was the Delta Center during the 90s.

Cali and Florida is full of nothing but fair weather fans for all sports

 

[DLF]

“You’re ours!”

Oh brooklyn is calling. They want Murray and 2 firsts for KD”


Good luck Jamal. You’ll love BKN.

The Cubans in the Miami home games will make up the difference.

 

[danger style]

why say it’s the first time if it already happened in 2021? why not just say it’s the second time? These low iq tweeters sometimes
