2021 NBA regular season thread

[SteelersPride]

He's only going to get better as the season goes on.

He may.

 

[DJ Fieri]

He may.

He is just 20. Odds are he will.

 

[DJ Fieri]

He may.

Who is the current bookie? I know SG9695 and John Shadows stopped doing it.

Is it you? Or Harold?

 

[DJ Fieri]

Which team has a better future......New York or Cleveland?

Julius Randle is averaging 22.1ppg, 11.4rpg, and a very surprising team leading 7.4apg. RJ Barrett is averaging 18.3ppg, 3.7rpg, and 3.7apg. Alec Burks was playing really well before he got hurt. And they have some promising youngsters in Obi Toppin and Immanuel Quickley. Plus role players...

Clown on Jammin' Jimmer all you want but he's living the dream. Getting paid to play the game.....they can make bank playing a 10-12 year career in a foreign country.

Fucker is worth 7 million. Alebit, most of that is from the NBA but they can make good money elsewhere.

Oh I'm gonna clown on him alright. Before I do though seriously good for him for living his dream. Probably not the route he was expecting though. But that doesn't matter.

And I know this is petty but. During his sr. year the national media had their collective noses all up in his ass. It was disgusting. Giving him just about every accolade out there. I was a UNLV season ticketholder during some his career at BYU ('07-'08 to '09-'10). Between the regular season match-up's with the Runnin' Rebels and all of his MWC tourney games live saw him plenty of time.

Put an althletic SG or SF on him and he's done. He had trouble getting his shot off in CBB & NBA. Thought he might be able to be a bench-guy, 3 point specialist. But his D's so bad he could barely guard a shooting rack. He's just one of the more overrated/overhyped players I've seen in a while.

Is it true he was teammates with Stephon Marbury in China and they got in a fight? If you wanna see something odd and disgusting look up Stephon Marbury eats vasoline. WTF is that!?

I thought Fredette would be a solid player in the NBA because he can shoot (and he has made 37.2% of his 3's) but he's really slow and a bad defender. I am still a little surprised he doesn't signed as an 11th or 12th guy/basically an end of the bench player/towel waver. Because, he can shoot.

He was on the Warriors summer league squad a few years ago. If he could make it anywhere in the NBA, you figure it would be here.

Edit: Actually, it was just a year and a half ago in July 2019. With how 2020 went, it felt like years ago, though. LOL.

Yep all about his D. The moment he was put on the floor he was a liability.

Even with all of that they should still be a middle-of-the-pack squad. Siakam's issues have really, really hurt this team and maybe that should've been expected but it's unignorable now.

If things don't turn around soon they're going to have to gauge trading Lowry.

They are still (likely) a middle pack squad. It's early in the season. For some perspective, Denver is dead last in the West right now. Does anyone think Denver is the worst team in the West? No. Just haven't played enough games yet for things to start shaping up. Toronto isn't as bad as their current record. I still expect them to shake out somewhere 6 to 8 seed.

Usually I'd agree but this seems particularly bad and the players & coach all appear visibly frustrated by what's going on.

Might stimulate the economy here and buy a few new pairs of jeans later....

He could probably could get signed as an 11th or 12th guy. Maybe he'd rather play though?

You better not, or I'll throw my false teeth at you

My friend sent me a graph that showed the two worst rookies right now are Hayes and Edwards.

kind of funny, but they are also getting the most run
