2021-2022 NBA Season

[Wamu]

Watching Steph break the 3-point record last night Reggie Miller said something interesting.

During his rookie year ('87-'88) teams only averaged 5 three's a game. Today it's 34 three's a game.

Who was the dumbfuck that said the greatest shooter in league history, Steph, is the most overrated MVP of all time? I don't remember.

he was STILL "The King" until he put on a Lakers uniform...

Amazing how a change of colors can alter a guy's narrative...

He was the best player in the world when he was with the Cavs the first and second time.

When he was with the Heat, he was "on the decline" and "it worked out better for the Cavs anyway"

And when he moved to LA there was "no way in hell he ever wins a title ever again"

Oh and he lost a testicle on a bet claiming Lebron would never move to the Lakers without an All-Star joining him that year.

One-nut don't know when to shut up.

One-nut don't know when to shut up.

One-nut is pretty pathetic when it comes to his "NBA fandom"

He will purposely yell at a tv hoping another team loses because a fan of that team made fun of his ridiculous ramblings on a random internet message board

Pretty interesting story today on ESPN about the Mavs and Rick Carlisle's departure. Mostly it's about Luka and his relationship with Carlisle. But the story is interesting. Maybe more so because I didn't follow the Mavs that closely so I didn't know there was tension between the two.

The dissolution of the Luka Doncic-Rick Carlisle relationship, and what comes next for the Mavericks

The Mavericks are 27 games into an effort to clear three seasons' worth of dysfunction, tension and blowups under former coach Rick Carlisle.

Didn't read the article nut starting to think luka may be the problem. Wasn't there talks last year that he and KP had issues? He is the common denominator

I dont know about trades, I am wondering when they are going to start shutting down the season. Bulls have a week cancelled, no Giannis and Middlebrook on protocols with 4 other Bucks. When will they stop allowing fans, or at least go back to only allowing them starting on the second deck?. This get three positives and everyone gets tested daily, when tests cannot tell if they have Covid, or the flu, or the common cold.

Never

Makes sense, it's the Knicks but not sure what a trade would look like

Yeah, I was looking at their roster and it would take at least 2-3 Knicks players just top make the salaries match.

Pretty accurate.

Honestly I was starting to feel that way too because of Luka's conditioning and other factors, but the article was gave me some pause to reconsider a few things. Obviously Luka is not blameless, but given the context of this article, I tend to side with him 60/40 over Carlisle.

I came out of it thinking he’s exactly the kick in the pants the Celtics need

And that people are soft af

He's not top 10. I think he's top 15 though.

1) Jordan
2) Lebron
3) Kareem
4) Magic
5) Wilt
6) Shaq
7) Bird
8) Duncan
9) Kobe
10) Hakeem

I don't see how he gets on to that list unless he wins another MVP and another Championship. Even then, who do you kick off?

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Gonna be a nice pickup for a team...but to what cost

May as well maximize his value now. I'd also suspect they are looking ahead at the draft class and seeing options at the 3 or 4

 

[Wamu]

Nikola Jokic is the first reining MVP that won't be playing on Christmas Day. That doesn't seem right.

I heard kind of a backstory of that on the Dallas sport radio a couple weeks ago. Definitely interesting...they said Carlisle is a weird guy but gotta be more to it.
