2021-2022 NBA Season

[ChrisperJ10]

Okoro was guarding him but I will say that was probably the best game of his career. He was making some ridiculous shots, just wasn’t enough

Yeah I just saw highlights… lol

 

[ChrisperJ10]

Kyrie is such a clusterfuck!

 

[bksballer89]

Kyrie played amazing

Nash just said kd won't play the next 2. Great win only to punt the next 2. Just horrible

They don’t have anymore games to throw away.

Not at all. Too conservative for my liking

LOL at the Bucks going 25 of 38 from the FREE Throw line....and losing by 3 at HOME.

Draymond getting close.....
....Wiseman too.

Draymond takes 'positive step,' back at practice

Warriors forward Draymond Green, who has been rehabbing a lower back injury since Jan. 9, returned to practice Saturday in what coach Steve Kerr said was "a very positive step."

I definitely think so, it’s looking like Dort and Mann can be major contributors on a good team.

Except…

They aren’t a good team.

There is a big difference between posting numbers on a bad team and being a major contributor on a good one. Lots of guys can be the former.

Dort is definitely a quality role player. He is actually what 6er fans should be hoping to get from Thybulle.

If 4th or 5th option who gets a lot of minutes is what you mean by major contributor, than I agree. Don’t think you want Dort to be more than that.

I don't remember much about when Steph was drafted. But was one of the so called issues if he could take the physical nature of the NBA coming from a small school?

The main issue was that he only played point guard in college for 1 year.

He was a combo guard whose primary position was the 2.

Scouts questioned if he was big enough to defend 2s (legit question) and a good enough ball handler/distributor to play point.

2nd question has been answered empathically.

But also, the game has changed in large part thanks to Steph, to allow smaller, highly skilled guards to flourish.

But even if they get a 4th or 5th any matchup is going to be tough. Take your pick Miami, Boston, Philly, Mil, Chicago. All tough teams that could win the east

Boston and Chicago are both tough teams.

Neither is going to win the East.

I tend to agree. Assuming the Nets are healthy I'd say it's them, Mil, Phi and Mia that have a realistic shot. Still should make for a very interesting playoffs.

My thoughts exactly.

And I actually think the defending champs might be the weakest of that bunch.

Also possible that any of them gets beat in round 1 depending on their matchup.

Steph's changed the game like few other have. I've enjoyed watching his career.

The bucks are frauds.

Ready for these 4 games today.

Yep, there really wasn't a true place for him in the game...so he created one and changed the game more than he likely ever dreamed he could.

And yet some jackass once said he's the most overrated league MVP of all time.

I watch every game the Thunder play and as I watch them develop some things are becoming evident. On offense yeah, 4th option for Dort on a good team sounds about right. But the guy can be absolutely elite defensively, I wasn’t just talking about offense. He is part of the reason that in spite of being so bad the Thunder are a top 10 team in overall defensive rating. Dort will overall be a pretty key piece for this team, he can guard about anyone.
