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

[dman14]

Did the suns outbid themselves to resign cp? Were they that scared that he may have left for another contender in the west?

Tbh Braun gives em good minutes
Braun, Brown & KCP @ the wings is impressive.

He not scared. He legit plays like he doesn’t understand the moment, which is good at times

KD gets swept out of the playoffs for the 2nd straight year we are going to start a dialogue.

Side note: I also find it fascinating how much Warriors fans despise KD now. It’s almost like they know he made a non competitive move but couldn’t admit it in the moment

I can’t see the suns getting swept. They’ll pick up 1 or 2. This Cp3 **** really is crazy tho. Like, you can damn near call it

KD be going back n forth with the Twitter-warriors super fans, about dumb **** lol. Posting and deleting **** . It’s weird right now. KD kinda don’t have a team fanbase after the Brooklyn fiasco. I think he cares and doesn’t care at the same time.

They’ll eventually patch it up.

Nah. As a Dubs fans I can whole heartedly say I got nothin but love for KD and I wish him nothing but the best, except for when he’s playing the Warriors.

We don’t win ’17 and ‘18 without him. Thats facts.

I feel like we haven’t talked about hardens performance enough. Can flip a switch and be magic Johnson or Michael jordan.

5/16

 

[Mister Meaner]

J needs to learn how to flop.

He falls to the ground here & maybe gets a late whistle to fix the missed call.

Spoiler

Complaining about the officiating more and more [rightfully so after getting mauled time and time again] but he’s too strong for his own good in most cases.

THEY also actively sabatoge the Knicks on many nights also.

Those light in the *** players who draw his assignment get extra physical after realizing they can’t do anything with him driving to the paint.

Word been out he’s driving left and can’t go right. Even if true, they haven’t figured out how to stop him going that direction.

At 22, I’d be a fool to think he’s peaked as a player. Better Jimmy Butler if he studies and incorporates his game sooner than later.

Gonna die on this hill like a good soldier Curious to see who among the 2019 lotto picks has the best career longevity.

Dark horse is the young gun RJ and I like it like that.

Harden > Steph's Game 7

You my man’s but relax

You my man’s but relax

Beating Boston at full force on the road w/o Embiid > Inexperienced Kings team.

It's true.

 

[xxpizzo]

harden game WAS better than Stephs game 7

its not even a debate

missing they key player and EVERYONE doubted him

many in here didnt even think he could score 20+

 

[2163O1baller90]

If the suns still had bridges and had someone like Steven Adams they would be a problem

 

[Blue Mamba]

Harden > Steph's Game 7

I don’t get why they have to be compared. Why does one have to be better than the other? We can’t simply appreciate both of them?

 

[B Sox]

This truly was the year of no excuses for them. They have all the right pieces, really their only weakness is a backup center ... also having to play a rookie Braun in the Playoffs is definitely not ideal but they have everything else in place

I still don’t get why they didn’t go and get Plumlee. Thought he would’ve been perfect for them. They had the contracts to do it. Instead he gets sent to the Clips for Reggie who Charlotte ends up buying out anyways, only for him to end up in Denver

 

[2163O1baller90]

Embid ,

 

[addict4sneakers]

Can someone cue up embiids current playoff numbers vs Jokic’s?

 

[cool...but rude]

Damn Harden actually hit a clutch playoff shot and I missed it. Wonder if I'll get the chance to see another

guess what we dont care

Embiid getting his rightfully deserved MVP tonight

 

[rolaholic]

Really was the best postseason performance I've ever seen from Beard,fairs to him. Really didn't think he had it in him

 

[WASHED KING]

No.

It's playoff NT time.

 

[WASHED KING]

Y’all throwing around that KD undefeated in Phoenix like it’s impressive.

They beat Denver x 2 w/o Jokic
The Spurs
The Jazz
OKC
Timberwolves
Hornets
Mavs

8-0 though.

I've beat that drum before and it goes nowhere with a lot of folks, sadly. JVG once said during a game "compairson is the theif of joy" and I agree with that.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

KD's decision making has been poor. He got led to Brooklyn by Kyrie. That was a circus like most of us predicted. He tried to force a last summer to Phoenix AFTER resigning with Brooklyn. The trade finally happens during the season but the Suns gave up all their depth and 4 1st Rd picks.

coming off that finals appearance had em fooled
they also needed good PR with all that Sarver stuff that was gaining smoke

Nah this ain’t it because the arguments was always who was better in the playoffs and how one guy was presumed to be the better player.

Congrats on the MVP but it’s money time and we see it’s a repeat of basically the past few years of production and health
