2021-2022 NBA Season

[HurricaneDij39]

Heat and Warriors won.

2 out of 5 is really bad

You beat the Pistons, so in a way that cancels itself out.

I'll get enough satisfaction on the Warriors when they lose to either the Suns or Jazz in the playoffs...

Day after baseball all star game maybe

 

[WiggyRuss]

138 to the Spurs?

 

[WiggyRuss]

Yeah i can't remember the last time a Lebron team been this bad when he actually been playing. I guess you would have to go back to his early Cleveland days within the first 2-3 years.

and at that point he was indestructible in his early 20's.

over 37 minutes a game is a shit ton for a 37 year old.

Spurs kicking the lakers ass currently

LeBron does what he always does

he goes somewhere- gets them to spend all their assets to win now- squeezes it for all its worth- and then gets outta town. Its pretty dirty.

So if Jimmy is this meh, Trey Lance must be ass in practice. I mean why else would be not play?

It isn’t that at all.

Jimmy’s meh is good enough to win games today, usually.

Lance is the future for sure, but they are hoping to let him learn by watching with a few reps here and there.

Garrapalo took them to a Super Bowl and he is top 10 in almost all the efficiency metrics, so let’s not act like he is trash. He has actually had a pretty good season.

He brought 2 titles to Miami, 1 to LA and 1 to Cleveland.

The fact that YOU think what he brings is “dirty” is absolutely laughable.

Yeah, he forces teams to go all in. But he has delivered a championship in every stop.

I would be worried about the next spot for LBJ because he isn’t the force he once was.

But anybody trying to act like his tenures weren’t worth it have an awful short memory.

Your hyprocisy is the reason why the average Cleveland fan didn’t deserve LeBron’s return.

 

[Gman]

Kemba with 28 at half. WTF was Thibs thinking again?

Is it winning basketball, though?

 

[DJ Fieri]

Not happy right now.

 

[tlance]

No.

But it isn’t winning basketball without him either.

Might as well figure a way to use your most dynamic offensive player.

Even when he can't play defense and is very likely to continue to age like fine milk?

Because of their injury/CV19 situation, Kemba's gonna get some minutes back. But Thibs was justified in benching him when the Knicks were at full health, and this recent offensive surge by Walker does nothing to change that fact.

Bottom line: what we're currently seeing out of Kemba is the absolute ceiling of what can be reasonably hoped for: spunky offense that doesn't necessarily impact the W/L column. Given the state of Walker's knees, his offensive output is likely to be a roller-coaster that leads directly to losses too.

Agree with this. He hasn't been the same player he once was since his glory days in Charlotte.

I mean, yes. This is true.

But that was their record without him again?

They have a highly flawed roster, and they chose to short cut the build process and try to capitalize on last season’s massive overachievement.

Like pasta, Knick management failed to accurately assess the talent on the roster and now they once again appear destined for mediocrity for the foreseeable future.

With or without Kemba they will have the same fate.

And now the lone bowl game for the day has been cancelled
