2021-2022 NBA Season

"No expectations."

RW's postgame interviews getting worse. LOL.

Box score said DNP "coaches decision" for both.
Usually it'll say injury or illness.

Said during the game that Bradley was held out with knee swelling. Couldn't stomach watching enough to hear if they mentioned THT.

 

[shopson67]

Irving isn't available for much more this season.

KD gonna have to go full BEAST MODE for them to make it.

8 away, 10 home left. Will NYC lift their restrictions before the end of the season? They won't make exceptions, but things are opening up everywhere else.

 

[Sir Robin Of Camelot]

Welp… they’ve lost Flea.

 

[shopson67]

Are you really trying to justify this guy missing the entire year with a bone bruise by comparing it to a guy who participated in demolishing your team last night?

Yes, he missed he entire 2nd half of the Season.

* last game Dec 31st of that year *

He didn't miss the whole thing.

That sort of implies that he was ready to go as soon as the season was over. Technically, he didn't play in another game until October (out basically 10 months), no way of telling when he could have played during the offseason. Nunn has been out 4+ months.

It’s Embiid’s to lose. I trust Vegas because those guys don’t lose. Embiid’s odds keep getting lower. In fact, the biggest threat to Embiid MVP now isn’t Jokic. It’s more likely JA with this recent run he’s been on.

SAS ripping the Nets and Simmons.

LOL.

I agree, Jokic is special but damn.....Embiid having a phenomenal season.

He has a chance to be the first 5 since Shaq in 99-2000 to lead the NBA in scoring.

And I think Nunn won't miss the entire season. I think he'll be back with 10-12 games left.

He played OK last night (at least the part of the game I watched; I bailed about halfway through that 3rd quarter meltdown). The inconsistent effort is baffling; Vogel is going to be the first domino since he can't get these guys to play hard all the time. There should be major changes next season as well. We already know Russ is gone if at all possible, and a LOT of the rest are on 1 year deals.

They don't play defense consistently.....they have moments but can't sustain it.

That's a sign the players are tuning out the coach.

Know this isn't the off topic thread but coach K's final home game tonight.

End of an era.

Not sure what the point is, other than seeing what he can potentially bring to the mix for next season. Even if the Lakers sneak into the play-in mix and secure a 7th or 8th seed, they're not going to move past that even with AD back. By then, Lebron will be worn out from trying to carry this team to the postseason and who knows what state AD will be in.

True.

As a long time Duke hater......

Syracuse should've stayed in the Big East. Moving to the ACC hasn't helped their recruiting at all, and instead has weakened rivalries, created more travel, and given them a tougher schedule. Plus I have to see all these ads during the games for restaurants that only exist in the South, lol.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Zu grown on you @Mecca?

Prospered with the Clipps.

 

[Wamu]

It's entertaining. People call AD glass but he averages 60 games a season.

About the same as KD (920 games in 15 seasons) but you don't hear people calling him injury prone or glass.....

The Laker hate is real.

Missing 22 games per season mean he's only playing in 73% of the games. That's nothing to brag about.

If he wasn't a Laker right now you'd call him glass too.

And KD. Let's see here. He's a multiple time champ & former MVP. How many MVP's has AD won? Also KD got the Finals with the Thunder. Before AD joined the Lakers how many playoff series did he win in New Orleans, one or two?

Mentioning he's injury prone isn't hating. It's telling the truth about his career.

While getting Harden should help Embiid, does it sort of weaken his MVP argument if Harden puts them over the top? Durant is going to have a hard time given the games missed (usually the knock on Embiid) and the hole his team is in. Jokic is still a strong contender.
