2021-2022 NBA Season

As impressive as the Barkley one handed block/cradle/grab that he pulled down.
Ja probably knew that he had to let go as he was coming up against the backboard, but good grief, what a display of athleticism.

I mean the Warriors play some damn good defense (been like that for awhile now). I keep forgetting is Cavs team is still extremely young. Your expectations as a fan get higher if you see your team play at a certain level but without Rubio and Sexton I probably just need to lower my expectations. This year was supposed to be a rebuilding year and they have exceeded that by far already. Without one of the two they just don't have enough guys that can create their own shot and a shot for others. Watching the Warriors last night they have a handful of guys that can create their own shot. Still like Wiggy said, probably looking at 1-3 more years, who knows exactly. I mean for example for the Warriors it was Steph's 4th year in the league where they made the playoffs and then won a series. Year 6 when they won it all. Obviously doesn't mean every timeline is the same but I think the next two years are stepping stones to be contenders, all depends on what moves they make and a lot of things though.

One playoff series to get these kids experience would be nice though.

yah- biggest difference in the core being 20-22 years old and the core being say, 23-25 years old. Even then- most guys wont be in the top of their game- but at least they will have experience and have played together for a while.

right now its just a ton of learning, about themselves, and their teammates. That - and learning that the schedule is long and you are playing grown men. That is a huge adjustment. Mobley is going from being the biggest guy out there playing 25 games- to playing 70+ games against grown men. Thats a huge adjustment.

They will get there eventually. Its just gonna take time. If Rubio and Sexton were there id feel a lot better about playoffs- but without them, its gonna be tough- especially since these other teams have good players too. Charlotte and Toronto for instnace are much more win-now, and have less injury issues.

Speaking of grown men, the Lakers got beat so badly last night, I was trying to figure out how grown men can let a bunch of youngsters destroy them. LOL!

That shit was embarrassing last night.

 

[Retroram52]

I totally agree ShaqDaddy. I stopped watching that total embarrassment when the lead went above 15.

I stuck it out till the lead was around 20, then I thought "Fuck it, life is too short" and watched the new Matrix movie

 

[Retroram52]

Yea I get that thought process totally. I came to the same conclusion as it was overwhelmingly obvious that only James came to play a game. The rest just didn't want to play on Sunday evening.

A role on a winning team?

 

[thunderc]

A role on a winning team?

The world needs ditch diggers too

 

[bksballer89]

He is a sore loser. That is all

Maybe he should find a way to help a team win games

 

[shopson67]

Tough sell to a millionaire though

Klay: Fans' roars 'worth every day of being away'

Klay Thompson scored 17 points in 20 minutes in his first action in nearly 1,000 days as Golden State beat Cleveland on Sunday night. He described the electric reception from Warriors fans as "worth every single day of being away."

Overpaid, whiney little bitches.

 

[Pastafazul]

I want to personally thank Lebron James for proving my point about the game today…

They overachieved last year. I mean not every team can year in and year out.

So how many teams has he been implemented in going to with all of the pundit supposed, "for sure" destinations via trades?
