2021 NBA regular season thread

Miami is such a well coached team.
Great use of zone defense.
Picks and rubs on offense lead to easy buckets.

Kept them in the game and had a chance to win it.

They played well. The lack of ball handlers and 3 point shooters makes this Sixer team really vulnerable. Thankfully Danny Green was hot Danny tonight.

The upside of this nightmare stretch is that rookies are getting a LOT of playing time. Not sure Matthias will see much time when the team is fully healthy but Joe has looked the part. I could definitely see him getting some minutes as a shooter in some situations.

Simmons looked disinterested.
Maybe he's hurt?

I'm ready to trade him for Harden....

I think he was a little sluggish tonight. I also thought the refs were pretty tight with him.

I don't want Harden.

Had a salad with some kind of steak chopped up in it, parmesan cheese, bacon bits and croutons with three cheese garlic dressing, it was good.

Radishes with hot sauce.....gotta pick up some at the store on Wednesday.

Also good in salads.

I don’t think it was the touches he was unhappy with, he just realized what he did didn’t do shit for his legacy. That and understandably not having any respect for Green whatsoever.

It actually was touches. There’s plenty of reports out there where he would get mad at guys (Klay in particular) for not getting him the ball more and/or shooting too much. His whole demeanor changed in 2018, the year after they won their first championship together. There’s lots of articles out there depicting his unhappiness with his role on the team.

But he was short sighted with his legacy. If he was able to block Lebron from winning another title and on top of that rack up more rings and Finals MVPs he could have put himself eventually in the convo for top 10 player of all time. He is a better player than Curry and even though Curry would remain the man in the bay areas eyes, everywhere else he would be ranked ahead of Steph and rightfully so.

But yeah, it was the touches.

Paschall out tonight for Covid protocols. He’s been a big factor of the teams recent success. We’re gonna need a big game from Wiseman and Oubre to make up for his scoring

 

[DJ]

The Lakers beating down the Rockets.....

 

[CitySushi]

No covid cases for the Cavs and now Drummond is out, including the rest of the guys that have been out for over a week lol.

Starting lineup
SG Dotson
G/F Okoro
F Osman
F Nance
C McGee

One starter and their bench is all guys they signed or from d-league. Wow

Welcome to the 2019-2020 Warriors.

 

[DJ]

Harden has been averaging 14.8 FGA's the last 5 games......is he sick?

 

[DJ]

Anybody know John Wall's middle name?

Johnathan HILDRED Wall Jr is his full legal name.

I didn't know that.

 

[DJ]

I want this shirt...LOL

 

[DJ]

The Pacers aren't letting Curry shoot at all....

 

[DJ]

Golden State playing some great defense.....only allowed 11 points with just over 3 minutes left in the 1st quarter.

i definitely think it was legacy.

Durant had to hear that he was a mercenary that bought his titles

he went to Golden State to get the monkey off his back so he wouldnt have to hear he was the best player in the league not to have won a ring....did a nice little tour of duty, got his 2 rings.....

and now he is off building something from the ground up

not unlike what LeBron did....move on from Cleveland- go to Miami with Bosh and Wade- get your rings- get the monkey off your back and the constant media barrage of cant win a title

and then go do what you want to do and build something from the ground up that is HIS.

Golden State was never his and would never be his.

The Nets- for better or worse- are HIS.

If Kyrie doesn’t want to play there has to be something in his contract that can void it. He is busy doing other stuff than caring about basketball and yet he is getting paid. This is truly pathetic
