[Based Jesus]

The Nets have lost six (6) games in a row.

If the Knicks had KD and Kyrie and were in the same position as the Nets right now we'd never hear the end of it. Injured or not, big Knicks thread.

One of the benefits to being the little brother is literally nobody cares

Oh? Seems like we sure hear plenty about every Clippers loss on here these days...

 

[addict4sneakers]

Imagine the Knicks calling someone little brother

 

[getback]

According to Chase Hughes of NBC Sports, the Los Angeles Lakers, Atlanta Hawks, Boston Celtics, Denver Nuggets and Philadelphia 76ers show interest in the Washington Wizards sharpshooting forward Davis Bertans ahead of the Feb. 6 NBA trade deadline

The craziest part is somehow it's still accurate.

 

[B Sox]

Wizards would be idiots to trade him. New regime seems a bit more intelligent than the last one.

 

[trynafeelmink]

I need to see Luka do this over a season and the playoffs

Lonzo Ball has finally turned the corner and is here after four games.

This thread.

Yes saying a player has finally found his confidence & a way to be a productive player..... is definitely the same as saying a player is better than HOF because he's put up good numbers for 30+ games

 

[N41D]

I mean... if you're watching basketball games, Luka's doing a lot of things Dirk never did in 20+ years.

If you value longevity, that's fine. But there's a more than reasonable argument to be made that Luka's better right now than Dirk was at his peak.

This hit home.

Total freedom tho

??? Huh the Nets are literally missing there three best players.... and still have kept themselves in contention for the playoffs

 

[ill steelo]

We should go ahead and put Luka in the hall of fame.

You would think after ‘07, even ‘06 y’all would let a guy actually accomplish something before you crown him.

This dude way more explosive than anyone that size has a right to be

Luka is having a fluke season, tbh.

 

[harlemtothebronx]

I wont call it a fluke, but I will say A LOT of players are benefiting from this era of no defense and unlimited threes. I don't mean to take away from certain players, but this feels the outcome of the shift the NBA made after the '90s of adjusting rules to promote scoring and increase the speed of the game.

Is James Harden still averaging damn near 40ppg?

Superstars were always going to get theirs regardless of the rules. They’d just adjust to those limitations.

 

[lovehateself]

yall really still doing the don like this ?

Bertans is an UFA after this season. if someone gives you a first, you take it and run.

Luka having the best 20yo season in the history of the NBA = everybody's crowning him undeservedly.

Of course, but to a certain extent. I think we've seen an explosion of offense not only from superstars but from a lot of younger guys who are playing to the analytics. Superstars are always gonna get theirs, but teams are putting so many more shots. Hearing Steve Nash saying he thought the Suns should have played faster and took more threes was kind of wild to me, but the way the game has sped up since then is kind of insane.
