The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA BACK

[Moheezy]

hmmm Maybe Kidd, but def not Nash.

tbh I think Nash or Magic or Bird are the greatest passers of all time. So i think it's unfair to compare Haliburton to him. I just don't see the type of really clairvoyant "how did he see that" type of passes, you see with Nash, Magic, Bird.

With what you have described, Kidd is right there with Magic and Nash.

aint noway Austin Rivers is on FT talking bout Philly did his pops dirty lolol

NBA drama is the best. Got "media" fueling these storylines

Don’t think you can compare Hali with anyone. He’s special. 1 of 1.

Haliburton is the next great guard. Pacers seem like they're pretty good.

Expectations are what?

With that coach? Lottery team

I think Kidd is in a teir right below those guys.

he was prob just as good as them in transition but imo Kidd wasn't as good in the half court.

The clippers honestly play and act like an old team that already won a chip.

Dont hustle, fight over screens play with no energy . Its a culture problem not a talent problem

I think I was called a contrarian for saying the only thing Josh Giddey does well is be tall and pass.

being tall and passing well, is the basis for a pretty solid game. but if he never learns to shoot, or really is able to bully people with his size imo he's a tough fit next to Shai.

admittedly he is distracted and he s doing everything like 15% worst than his rookie year. But even at his best, the fit with SGA was a bit suboptimal if he's not going to be able to space, at least shoot league average from 3. His lack of confidence is just super magnified at this point

This is like @antidope's two minute nightmare.

I actually find Kevin funny in real life situations. Him and Snoop were one of the best things about the Olympics.

Jalen Williams makes Giddey obsolete

DPoY is between Rudy and Wemby

DPoY is between Rudy and Wemby

Not his fault but with 3 wins I can't see that.

Giddey looking like tall but slow Ricky Rubio

Wait till that guy learns what an intentional foul is

Much better unscripted. Especially when he's with "the fellas" so to speak. None of that corny **** gon fly.


If they bring former and current NBA stars on the megacast with KHart like they do with the Mannings, I definitely see potential.





Hey Vernon, what would you have done to him if he would've fouled you like that?

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Rudy Gobert:

after all the slander last year the DPOY award is headed

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Giddey looking like tall but slow Ricky Rubio

Ricky Rubio was a good defender.

so like tall, slow, defensive target Ricky Rubio.

 

[smedroc]

Going to be Gobert by a landslide if they stay top 3 in the West.

Even though his defensive numbers / impact is great, the perception on AD is that he takes games off and has a questionable motor. I don' t think you can win DPOY with that hanging over you.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Need him to be the DPOY in the playoffs.

McDaniels, Ant gonna be a problem defensively . NAW can be a pest too

The defense is always there, it's the offense that tanks with AD.
