2020-21 Around the NBA Thread

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Giannis is overrated. Not ready for prime time

He’s not a championship #1. He’s an epic #2.

Dude, there should NEVER be a post that insinuates stix has hope because . . . Durant. Never. Ever. No. Just . . . no.

We were talking about Stix' legs being similar, not comparing the two as players.

Bucks just choked away series. It was the NBA best hope at stopping the Nets. The Bucks will win next game. Then in game 7 Harden will be able to play better and KG will go off…again. It will give the Nets time to heal and boom WCF champs. It’s going to happen.

that team needed CP3, not Jrue while giving away a ton of draft picks in the process.

F that. We’re the best hope for beating the Nets.

Talking about the East.

Lol I divided 20 by 52 instead of 72. Still, more than a quarter of the season missed and was certainly not the klaw all season.

I watched almost every clippers game. When kawai is healthy he is a handful. Even with a face mask for 5 games he controlled.

But it’s an outright silly comp as Durant is an outside player. A supersized wing. Stix has to make his living being a rugged interior player with a three point shot. You might as well say look at the slim reaper, he plays football and he has sticks for legs so there’s a chance for stix.

Offensively perhaps. Defensively he showed on occasion when needed. He wasn’t consistent defensively this year.

Would Giannis listen? But yes they needed a CP type to take over and calm them down

You making a thing out of it is sillier.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

You making a thing out of it is sillier.

The fact that another player, who plays in a manner that stix will never play, is being used for hope is ridiculous.

 

[Proximo]

They never run pick and roll with giannis. He should be the greatest dive man in nba history.

I guess the stats show he is not good at it, but he should be able to learn.

CP decided where he was going. I believe Presti said so publicly.

 

[Vacard]

Talking about the East.

It’s up to Bum Simmons and a broken Embiid

Sometimes reading comprehension is required.

Evoking Durant as a reason Stix could be successful and then saying you didn’t do so to make a comparison is bizarre. They’re totally different players/styles so their body types alone don’t really have any correlation to each other to say if one can be successful the other can also.

 

[Rivercard]

That is a very unusual take and I don't think you'll find many knowledge people who agree with you. Have you watched a lot of clippers games?

 

[SoonerLou]

Gotta win it this year. Nets are going to be even scarier next year if healthy. LeBron/AD should be rested/motivated. Tons of young talent around the league getting better.

Now is the time to win the whole dang thing. As of now the Suns look the least flawed. Dont have the highest upside, but just gotta figure out how to win 8 games.

This is the year to get it done.

 

[Proximo]

Charles always doubting the suns.

it’s getting old.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Sometimes reading comprehension is required.

sometimes just saying “yeah, that was silly to bring up Durant in that context” is required.

not for me. Let everyone keep doubting us, not giving us credit with Coaching, All D or All-NBA awards. It’s all fuel for the fire.

And here comes the brother to the rescue.

 

[SoonerLou]

JRue Holiday gave me Bledsoe flashacks. Just poor IQ down the stretch.

I did lay context if you read my original post.
