2021-2022 NBA Season

[flyerhawk]

So to get an idea of how interesting this year in terms of the MVP race... take a look at the all time single season PER leaders..



All 3 of the big dogs are in the top 10 of all time per.

I wonder what the Cameron Crazies would do.

What's the worst thing we'll see on Thursday :

1) verbal taunting (clean)
2) verbal taunting (not so clean)
3) folks dressed up in doctors coats with clipboards and a stethoscope
4) throwing batteries at him (this is a staple and time honored tradition of Philadelphia fan culture)
5) video highlight reel with BS passing to Thybulle as the final clip
6) O/U on fan ejections is set at 4.5
7) Sixers set up a play resulting in Embiid diving for a loose ball and 'accidentally' landing on Simmons
8) fill in your own!

I know. We did this part already. What do we do now after I’ve already granted your point this is fair criticism?

I don't know. A good start would be for you to stop pretending Jokic is fat & sloppy. Because fat & sloppy NBAers don't put up numbers like the Joker.

I'll say this though. Looking forward to the playoffs. Should be many good series. And like I've said before really wanna see a 76ers/Nets match up. It would be hilarious to see BS refuse to play in Philly during the playoffs.

Russ: Taunts like 'Westbrick' shaming family name

After his wife, Nina, posted on social media about the criticism and "death wishes" her family has received, Russell Westbrook spoke out about the harassment they've been subject to in his first season with the Lakers and vowed to defend his family name.

F'n Lakers fans......

There's no place for shit like that. And those yo-yo's attacking Russ's family are classless jackasses.

I'm thinking they must be Philly transplants that moved out there.....

Jokic = Tatanka

Very random stat but large sample size. WTF

 

[shopson67]

But also…dude is a basketball god. We haven’t seen a big that can do what he can did since the Dream. Dude is sticking Kobe moves on the baseline with turn away jumpers at 7’2’’. You don’t often see 7 footers clear a rebound and go coast to coast. We have all been blessed in the ability to watch him.

If he ever shows up in the postseason and leads his team to the finals, I might agree then. Until then, hyperbole.

 

[shopson67]

He's no Zion but close

LOL, not even close. He's not ripped, but calling him fat or sloppy is ridiculous.

 

[shopson67]

Jokic on the other hand has missed about 60 games his entire career. He got to the league one year after Embiid.

Only if you count Embiid's redshirt seasons, lol. They were actually in the same draft, but Jokic didn't come over immediately.

If any fanbase would be familiar with over-aggressive fans, lol....

Live shot of Philly fans on Thursday :

Certain to be trampled to death?

30 and 12.5 in 2019-20
28 and 10.5 in 2020-21

Sixers playoff issues haven’t been an Embiid issue since the Toronto series in 2018-19 when Gasol had his number.

Certain to be trampled to death?

Actually, dude won that battle.

Bull fucking shit. This guy is a soft as baby shit and is straight up embarrassing himself at this point.

Let me be clear with this. Any death threats is out of bounds and those people are awful human beings. But at the same time, this is also nothing new. Even before the internet, public figures would get death threats in the mail from asshole scum. It sucks, but you deal with it by reporting it to thru the necessary channels. Sadly, most public figures deal with this.

But Russell Westbrook isn't just going on about death threats. He is literally out here saying "Westbrick" is akin to a slur on his family's honor. Using his kids as shields. His wife and his brother out here on Twitter acting like their family has been tarnished like this is some huge violation of medieval honor on House Westbrook. Give me a fucking break. He's playing like trash, has been all season, and he's using this as shield to shame people into not calling him out on his own short comings. You really can't handle taunts and heckles at a game? You're a professional. Fans talk trash every game. Get over it. He himself talks trash every game with is rocking the baby stuff. He literally called KD a "cupcake" because he went to the Warriors. But when someone calls him out, he can't handle it. Oh, your kids might hear it if they attend the game? Welcome to the real world. Sorry your kids will have to realize that "oh shit, they're actually booing daddy".

This is some straight up weak minded bullshit. I've never been a fan of his game skills wise for various reasons but never did I think he was this fucking soft emotionally and mentally as a player. What a fragile little ego he has.

The money difference was pretty insignificant. The Thunder weren’t giving a guy like that the keys to the kingdom abd with what they already had it had to be that way. I’ll say it again though, the failure of Ibaka to develop as a big was a big part of what happened.

There was some kind of acrimony at the last minute about the team and Harden fighting over whether he had agreed to something near the end, but the real issue was that they didn't see him as a key piece, they saw Durant, Westbrook and Ibaka as more important pieces.

Harden was good in OKC but he reached a different level in Houston.

This guy has thoughts on Ben Simmons for sure

No question, and he wasn’t going there unless he went somewhere to be the front man in iso bsll

Thank god for weed and message boards. I’m listening to English teachers debate whether vanilla ice cream or chocolate ice cream is better to model some stupid teaching technique.

Amazing that you of all people are a teacher

No offense intended.
