Assuming healthy rosters, if the Nets make the Finals (I'm still not sure I see that) the Lakers will be pretty heavy favorites.

Ehh not sure about heavy favorites but yeah I expect they'll be favorites

if the Pistons are smart and trade him

dont ever assume the Pistons do the smart thing.

lol it is either that or lose him for nothing in the summer

Gonna be hard to limit Brooklyn but their defense is still a huge concern. If Kyrie does come back and stay on the team I’m not sure how they don’t average 120 a game but Kyrie is the question mark fit wise

There are almost 500 players on active rosters.

Of course some are going to break the rules. Some have.

But like I said, you are assuming everyone who is sick broke the rules and that isn’t right.

No, i'm saying players need to be held accountable too. And not everybody is taking the covid protocols seriously.

What i'm saying is stop giving out measly $50k fines to multimillionaires and start hitting them where it hurts. Especially when it leads to games being postponed.

I hate watching James Harden play basketball

Finally something you and I can agree on

I'm really curious to see Brooklyn with Kyrie back. Who will be the PG? Harden or Kyrie

Derrick Rose is going to be a hell of a pickup for a contender later this season

your boy Nunn is playing well

last year the dude played starters minutes and scored 15 a game on not great but certainly decent shooting.

good ass game in Brooklyn

It is interesting the last few possessions for the Bucks have not gone through Giannis.

I hate watching James Harden play basketball

most people do.

dribble dribble dribble...step back three....dribble dribble dribble- drive and throw up some garbage and get a foul call. lazy on defense.

its awful. It hurts me inside that he was rewarded for being a jackass.

 

[bksballer89]

This is good stuff

 

[bksballer89]

Hate that shot by Middleton

kyrie has experience playing off the ball in Cleveland playing with stars.....so i think harden probably plays point more.....though im sure they will try and stagger it a little bit.

Sure. I agree with that.

someone said $50 was the most the NBA was allowed to fine a player.

Really dumb shot at the end there by the Bucks but they got lucky with the steal

Heavy.

Why? Time running out, down by 2, work it and get a good shot

Lot of playing time there for the taking and none of those young guys can take it from him.

James Harden continues to prove that he absolutely quit on Houston and wasn't even trying.
