2021 NBA regular season thread

The Lakers locker room seems to be a great place currently, don't know if they could set him straight or if he's not worth the chance of ruining that atmosphere...

They already have enough talent!

I give up on this NBA season

Is there such a thing as too much talent...?

I wasn't a fan of pausing the season last saturday but shit if we are postponing 10-15 games a week then it isn't such a bad idea

What effed the Browns was their inability to stay safe. The same rules apply to all teams, and most have stayed away from outbreaks in the locker room. Same with the NBA teams. The rules aren't being applied unequally.

the Browns, until the very end of the season did great with the virus. They received a lot of accolades from the league for their vigilance. The league even came to the conclusion thatit wasnt spread in the facility.

not a surprise that during the warmer weather months they had no issuese- and then when everyone got inside for cold weather these things started popping up.

i listen to the radio every day to work and back in and for 90% of the season the Browns did great on this. It was just bad luck in the end. Other teams have received fines and there have been teams that were investigated like the Titans and Ravens that did screw up and the league said so. That was never the case with the Browns.

THT for Porter Jr? Sounds like a perfect swap

Man this Knicks Magic game is rough

 

[Black Adam]

THT for Porter Jr? Sounds like a perfect swap

Just sayin'....

 

[shopson67]

McKinnie for Porter Jr? Sounds like a perfect swap

FIFY

Agreed, but then he tried to get up and was could barely stand. That was a guaranteed call to the sidelines for possible concussion.

I want Mahomes to play this weekend. I don't want any excuses when the Bills beat them. Since my Rams couldn't hold up their end, all my support goes behind the home town (or close to it) team, my #2.

For sure.

Not saying the league handled it wrong. He was unconscious. They needed to make sure he was OK.

Definitely not worth the risk for a player who would at best play a minor role this season.

Also, a small role makes outbursts more likely.

Nets' Irving misses seventh consecutive game

Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving missed Monday night's win against the Bucks, marking the seventh consecutive game Irving has missed since playing on Jan. 5.

I'm shocked what's going on with Kyrie right now. He was such a team player in Boston. Didn't see this happening.

 

[msgkings322]

Harden and KD played well together vs the Magic.....think Irving gets told he is on a short leash or else.

He may not need a leash if he doesn't return

I get the feeling he is actually just not interested in being the 3rd best player on a team.

Me too.

He reminds me of the Antonio Brown of the NBA.

So you'd rather have nothing, than something?

 

[Wamu]

He’s reminds me of the Antonio Brown of the NBA.

You know that's not a bad comparison. Alotta talent. But very questionable decision making.

Selfish divas that have all the talent in the world. Both possibly mentally unstable.

Yes. A lot of teams are at a competitive disadvantage and may lead to them missing the playoffs. It just isn't fair.

Dallas been without 5 or 6 rotation players due to covid for about 2 weeks now. There are others as well.

Forcing teams to play when they're down 4-5 players and you can't even expand rosters for team screams competitive disadvantage
