2021-2022 NBA Season

Oh and a third thing....
Detroit apparently has a casino spa resort named Morongo....
I doubt the pronouncuation is "moron go" but that would be hilarious truth in advertising

Reminds me of the famous Chevy Nova debacle...when they realized the car wouldn't sell in Latin America because "no va" means "doesn't go" in Spanish

He he mean to do what he did? Yes.
Did he mean to hit him in the face? No.
You can't call that a punch to the face? Guys get elbowed in the face all the time and yes that one looked bad but if you start suspending players for flagrant 2's this league is going to be even more of a shitshow than it is

That's what I saw. He was pulling his arm free, but he was frustrated and put a little extra ''emphasis'' on it (probably trying to draw a foul) and accidentally clipped him. He likely gets suspended a game so people won't start with the ''rules don't apply to Lebron'' stuff. It was also a bit reckless, so he probably deserves it.

Stewart should get 3-5 games. You just can't react like that.

Nah we need him available for the rematch on Sunday

So Kyries check gets smaller, good

Maybe if you had realistic expectations you would be able to enjoy watching the game.

But no. You would rather pretend the Knicks are title contenders.

Knicks are more likely to miss the playoffs than they are to win a playoff series. Just enjoy that you have a competitive team to watch.

Oh bullshit!

One hand doesn’t know what the other is doing in this league. Today!!!! Any competitive team could win it all. Look at bulls and Miami for instance, their kickin ass cause they have some talented players who are playin both ends of court for 48.

Tell me something, you say thibs is not a coach who is strategically gifted , and I agree. So, why get players like fornuau and walker when you really need hard nosed players who get their hands dirty!

This team , I agree is not playoff bound cause they gave up what got them there last year.. fundamentals!

This organization is just dumb

That reminds me of this funeral home's unfortunate name:

 

[shopson67]

He punched him in the face

So, you punch with the base of your palm pulling backwards from only 3 inches away?

Only if you hit like a girl.

Which all Celtics fans do.

I don’t disagree with that at all. Never have.

You were arguing BK’s point that LeBron was at his best in Miami. He has definitely had seasons as good or better offensively. Definitely.

But you tried to use offensive only stats to refute a comment made about LeBron’s overall play.

And, you even called @bksballer89 a homer.

**And now you are trying to say I didn’t understand your comment because I only chose to address part of it.**

Pretty amazing leaps of logic by you.

If you don't disagree with what our back & forth is all about why do you insist on keeping this going? And remember what your issue has been with me for a couple days now. That I said LeBron's had offensive seasons similar to his peak in Miami. That's it, nothing else. And I wasn't incorrect in say that.

You're damn right I called him a homer. Here's a quick review of overly homeristic things he's said recently. Riley's dumbass asterisk comment was taken outta context. That J. Winston's only had turnover issues one season of his career. When Miami shot 37% from the field & 25 from downtown in the first half of a loss he went outta his way to mention the refs.

** = So you're making up your own reality. I've been saying the same thing for days. How can you say you've chosen to only address part of it when I've only been talking about one thing? You're being very stubborn.

 

[Wamu]

Yep called me a homer for suggesting that the Heat got the best version of Bron lol

That's not why I'm calling you a homer. Here's why I called you a homer.

You said Riley's dumbass asterisk comment was taken outta context. You said Jameis has only had turnover issues one season of his career. And when the Heat shot 37% from field & 25 from downtown you mentioned the refs.

Not once have I said LeBron's best version wasn't in Miami. But he's had offensive season similar to his peak in Miami. And his career numbers back up what I've been saying.

oh ffs.

@bksballer89 statement wasn't about stats. It was about overall play. Yes, Lebron has seasons that were statistically as good or better than what he had in Miami, in other locations.

Even one of his seasons with the Lakers was in that statistical level.

But there's a lot more involved than just stats. His best seasons overall, when you consider everything involved in the game (offense, defense, leadership, knowing how to win, etc.) were in Miami (or Cleveland 2.0).

That doesn't mean there weren't seasons in other places where he wasn't better in certain aspects.

Hell, his best season, from a pure leadership perspective may have been the bubble season. The Lakers don't get that title without him keeping every one focused.

You're arguing shit that was never really part of the discussion.

Arguing with him is a waste of time. Exactly why yesterday was my first response since Thursday and i intentionally did not @ him because i don't care to waste my time with him

That’s ninja shit right there

I've made it perfectly clear I'm only talking about offensive numbers and nothing else. Said that from the very beginning. Yes LeBron's best all around years were in Miami. But that doesn't change the fact that what I've been saying for a couple of days now is correct. There's no question he's had some offensive seasons similar to his prime in Miami. Or do you disagree with that?

So I've used his career numbers to prove he's had offensive seasons similar to what he did in Miami and you think that's arguing? Didn't realize going by what his actual career numbers say would be such an issue.

've made it perfectly clear I'm only talking about offensive numbers and nothing else. Said that from the very beginning.

Then don't come in out of left field talking about shit no one else was and then start arguing. You tried changing the subject to something no one was talking about.

 

[Black Adam]

lol

Only Celtics fabs saying this,

This is my shocked face.

 

[bksballer89]

Sounds like bron to be suspended based on the shows today

I can see him being suspended for a game. Shouldn't be more than one though. It was unintentional.

Stewart should get more than one for losing his shit like that.
