2021-22 Around the NBA Thread

[95pro]

I don't know what the Trail Blazers are doing other than supposedly trying to reshape around Damian Lillard but I consider Josh Hart to be one of the better pieces Portland received in that trade.

I agree since Steve mentioned he still has some years on his contract. Which means Portland is looking to keep him so he can be their 2-way player to shoulder more of the defense for Dame.

That's almost enough money to retire on.

TNT has got to be thrilled to have that game instead of ours.

Guessing Nash and Harden are done after this year in Brooklyn. Well... Harden has never even really showed up... unless there's catering.

Look at his stats, he is not very efficent. Quite frankly he is pretty comparable to shamet.

Trail Blazers practically gave their players away. It goes to show how sad it is if Hart is one of the better player they received.

I could retire on it, maybe even half that.

Looks like the Lakers are giving Milwaukee the night off.

Mind blowing how a team with LeBron and Davis could be this pathetic defensively.

The team was poorly constructed for the modern NBA. That's the issue with having Lebron be the defacto GM.

 

[DJ Tabooh]

This isn’t even a game. Milwaukee is getting whatever they want. LA fans are booing. Giannis hasn’t missed from the field yet. Man big game on Thursday. We need to rest up. Giannis is gonna attack, attack, attack. DA better bring it. CP3 needs to shoot a whole lot better than tonight against the Bucks.

Who would have thought that a bunch of 37 year olds and a smattering of vet mins can't keep up on D?

It's Ja's fault, he shouldn't have had them tattoo Wilson on his nose.

Bucks pulled a Suns tonight and let a huge lead get down to 10, requiring their starters to come back.


Westbrook was benched again. What a lovely disaster these Lakers are.

Watching Jrue Holiday just now talk about the Suns coming up on Thursday brought some bile up in my mouth. I haven’t hated the Bucks even after they beat us but I can feel myself getting there very easy right now.

Whose idea was it to have semen-colored uniforms labeled "Cream City"?

Forgive me for asking but what is there to hate about the Bucks? Giannis is an animal and has done it the right way, Jrue is as solid as they come, Middleton is an assassin. Grayson Allen is the one annoying guy unless you wanna throw in Portis. Don’t get me wrong, the Finals loss still stings. But let’s be honest, Suns besides Crowder/CP3 had zero playoff experience. To just win the finals your first go-round isn’t realistic and we were 4-5 plays from doing so

Like I said, I hadn’t even considered hating them until I watched that post game interview. And for me, the loss doesn’t sting at all. My family was going through some serious medical stuff last summer and I was ust thankful for the ride and escape they gave me leading up to the situation getting resolved.

But Holiday just had this knowing smile talking about thursdays game... like we own the Suns... and all of a sudden, I just wanted to punch it off his face.

Thursday is going to be interesting. I feel like we’re in a lose-lose. If we win, people will say it’s only the regular season and we’re at home. If we lose, people will claim Milwaukee is still the team to beat (which they’re the champs so that’s fair). They won 4 in a row but those last 3 were toss up games. We’ll be ready Jrue.

 

[95pro]

Jrue’s hot shooting in one game if the finals was a fluke, it’s almost unbelievable how many shots he made. He won’t replicate that again. Our guards were hurt. What it’ll come down to is Giannis driving, forcing contact, forcing the officials to make a call.

 

[Phrazbit]

We should have won that series. I still believe we were the better team, even with the injuries. We failed at something that we are far far better at this year, executing in the clutch.
