2021-2022 NBA Season

I LOVE THIS GAME

Those Warriors Alt Jerseys though…

Good game.

Thoughts?

Howard for sure should have been on. He made a clown of himself in the mid-10s and people are holding that against him. It's totally unfair. Prime Dwight was an absolute beast. He took the fucking Magic to the Finals all by himself and beat Lebron to do it. Jokic and Embiid are making a claim now, but prior to their emergence, he was the best center the league had seen since Shaq. I don't know how you can add guys like AD and Lillard, with their resumes, and then leave Howard off. Resume wise, he's better than both those guys, especially AD, who let's be honest, if it weren't for Lebron and Rich Paul, would still be stuck in NO fighting for 8 seeds every year.

Paul Pierce made the top 75?

Lotta pro-Celtics voters on the panel I guess. That one championship must be doing some heavy lifting for him because guys like Carter and McGrady are better imo. But those two never got elevated by KG and Allen coming in to boost their teams. He's borderline for me and I'm not upset by it, but I'd lean no.

Here's the panel

Good game.

I think it had something to do with this being the 75th anniversary of the league, and it being the Warriors home opener, and they being 1 of the original franchises (Philadelphia Warriors).

Forgot about that lol

They look like the Cavs old Alt jerseys.

OK, who gets the boot for Howard?

Paul Piece would be my choice.

Of course I’m being biased because I can’t stand the guy…

You having your Paul Pierce moment?

Meh...I thought they looked more like Pistons jerseys w/ old Hawks colors for the trim...but the important thing is, they won and Steph dropped 45 tonight while wearing those....and FTR, it would definitely be okay with me if they never wore them again...lol

But you see where I’m coming from right? Lol

but the important thing is, they won and Steph dropped 45 tonight while wearing those....

Agreed. After yesterday’s funk, Curry wasn’t even looking to pass.

Dray with the dagger...great game

That should've been an And 1 on that play too, but the ref shrugged it off.
Might've been moot with the way he was shooting FT's in this game anyway.
I'm just glad it didn't matter at the end.

 

[tlance]

Any snubbing discussion always has to ask....if you add Dwight who do you remove?

Players who definitely should not be on the list ahead of Dwight Howard and Klay Thompson:

In no particular order:

Sam Jones
Paul Arizin
Dennis Rodman
Dave DeBusschere
Earl the Pearl
Robert Parish
Dolph Schayes
Bill Sharman
Lenny Wilkens

Pick any 2 of these. Wilkins and Rodman would be my first 2 to go. Rodman so incredibly overrated to be put in a list like this.

Ewing needs to be on the list too.

Rodman ahead of Ewing?

Really?

Does anyone actually think Rodman was a better basketball player than Patrick Ewing?

 

[tlance]

MCGrady should be on too for sure. And probably Vince too.

Bruh @fightinfunbags i needed duncan Robinson to be avg last night and i would have won 1k last night. Fanduel offered me a risk free sgp so i dropped 20 on the Heat/Bucks. Went with all Heat players because i knew we would destroy them. Needed dunc to make 3 threes.....he made 2 instead.

Miami ML
Bam over 18.5 pts
Bam over 6.5 rebounds (alt)
Lowry over 4.5 assist (alt)
Butler over 16.5 pts (alt)
Tucker to hit 2 threes
Herro to score 15
Herro to hit 2 threes
Dunc to hit 3 threes

I was a Lions win on Sunday and a Dunc three from hitting 3x in a span of 4 days lol

I don't think people understand how great that Dwight Howard magic run was. The man was DOMINANT.

Damn. I took Lowry under 15.5 based on preseason him not getting to double figures. Looks like he’s gonna be a facilitator down there and look less to get his shot. Tough one man. GL this weekend.
