2021 NBA regular season thread

I’m right there with you, Browns have no chance in a shootout.

Not to say they win a shootout, but might have a better chance in shootout than more defensive battle IMO. Browns have been really good in red zone and KC defense has had issues....KC has also struggled in red zone some lately on O.

Haven't been following closely...How''s TT looked so far?

Averaging 25 & 12. But my heads full of THC smoke right now. So I'm pretty sure I made those numbers up.

 

[dtgold88]

It's nice to have those players back. Gonna need 'em today.

especially the ones on D. Only one I have not heard is definitely back on D is Goodson. Ward and Johnson back and Harrison should be full go.

I'm rooting for the Browns but they ain't gonna win.

Solid.

Bringing what he always brings.

Even though I agree with you I hope you're wrong.

Well shit just thought of this. Celtics went after another former Cav. The last one was a 100% me-first assholyio. TT will be different. He's a team player. I actually saw TT play H.S. hoops at Findlay Prep in Henderson, NV. Was disaapointed when he picked Texas over UNLV.

Celtics down 20

Gotta be honest. Don't have alotta faith in the Browns pulling off the upset. The Chiefs are loaded. Hopefully the running game will be effective today. Less time Money Mahomes is on the field the better.

Kansas City has won almost all their games, but they have not been the best team in the NFL over the past 10 games.

That has been Buffalo and Green Bay.

Upset is defiantly possible today.

And I still like how Cleveland matches up provided they play the right game plan defensively.

I'm looking forward to kickoff. Been a long time since my team was still playing this late in the season.

Guess I'll check it out. Keep hearing many say Browns need to run to win and not so sure about that...I could see it being like TN game where they dared us to throw and we did. Isn't to say we'll win that way as still have to stop Mahomes.

totally agree here

i think it has some shades of Tennessee in some ways as well. They are going ot have to run, but if you dont score TD's basically all your drives sthen its gonna be tough.

tthe offensive line has to dominate- thats one thing- and Myles garrett will have to be a beast, and Ward will have to look like a top 5 corner and Baker cant make any mistakes.

thats a lot of things that have to happen.

I obviously think the Chiefs deserve their heavy favorite status. strangely enough- i felt much worse last game without bitonio, ward, the head coach, 4 assistants, etc....

but this is a different animal.

Kansas City is not going to take them lightly. They will be prepared and serious.

itll either be a blow out KC's way or a last possession game is what i am thinking. If its the later, lets hope the Browns have the ball last.

Browns defensive front 4 have to get some pressure without blitzing is what i am thinking.

I think Mitchell Schwartz is out.

gotta watch for Mahomes running too- that wasnt a threat the last couple weeks.

That was late in his career, we see veterans become great 3 point shooters late in their career. Kidd didn’t have a shot most of his career but he also did a ton of things that were special.

5th year he turned into a solid 3point shooter. And fluctuated up & down for a few years.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Guess we can hope we take less than the 7 years the Lakers took to get back to the playoffs in the rebuild?

all seriousness, possible only way they could be title contenders is one more tank resulting in a top 3 (maybe 5?) pick IMO.

We also didn't just make the playoffs....we won the title the 1st year back in the playoffs.

 

[bksballer89]

Butler and Bradley out again. Think it is safe to say they both tested positive for covid-19

 

[tlance]

Tough start for Cleveland.

When you are trying to pull the upset, you can’t let them off the hook when you get them 2nd and 19.

Huge drive for the Browns. They need points right here or KC could run away.

Looks like a steal!

Not going to lie, the nba struggling with the virus more than any other sport.
