Shoulda, woulda, coulda....


LeBron has been balling out 2 of his last 3 games, almost like he wants to send a message about the MVP or some shit.....LOL.

Yeah, Embiid is up there for me with Lebron. The Sixers can’t win without him

Doc was a great hire and it was time they dumped Brown.

What's up with Brett Brown? Did he tuck tail and go back to SA to be in Pop's shadow?

Just found out my aunt's husband passed away from COVID-19.....

That’s terrible I’m sorry. This stuff is so weird, I have a 77 year old uncle who is diabetic that got it and really didn’t have many problems. Have a neighbor in healthcare and he says there is not a lot of middle ground, it either really messes you up or it’s not much.

Sure, but he looks nothing like the player in Houston......to me, at least. He hasn't been dribbling 15-20 times per possession and has been making great decisions.

He is playing a lot different for sure.

It looks like he is assuming the role of creator and freeing Kyrie and KD up to be scorers.

And honestly, that might be the best possible option for the Brooklyn offense to work. Harden is the best facilitator of the 3 by far, and all 3 are elite scorers. So if 1 is going to sacrifice shots it makes sense that it would be Harden.

Now let’s see if that sticks and if they can defend a little. If they do, they will be a problem in the playoffs.

I agree......I think TJ12 is just a little skeeeerrrrrred.

I ain't skeeeerrrrrred of a little competition.

Who the hell keeps bringing up these Drummond to Nets after buyout rumors...wtf. Dude just puts up 20 and 15 every game, they aren’t buying him out...at least not anytime soon lol

Yea...thats what is killing me. It now makes sense in hindsight the Pistons wanted to be shitty so they didn't want anything for him that kept them from full tank.

But for the Cavs to get nothing for him? Would make no sense.

 

[DJ]

Harden's numbers with the Nets are pretty siiiiiiiiiiiiiiick.

23ppg (on just 15 FGA's), 11.3apg, and 7.3rpg.

46.7%, 35.6%, and 84.4%.

 

[DJ]

Whoa @ Chad Wheeler.

 

[dtgold88]

We can run the Lakers-Cavs bet next time they play.....cool @dtgold88?

sure.

 

[DJ]

sure.

I guess we only play once this season.

 

[thunderc]

Whoa @ Chad Wheeler.

Idiot

 

[DJ]

Idiot

Big time.

Special kinda stupid.

Really? Thought each team had a home/home with every team in other conference.

Just saw a rumored trade for Drummond. Not sure it’s very realistic.

Blazers get Drummond

Cavs gets Nurkic, Hood, Little & a 2nd

Nurkic hasn’t panned out and is very injured prone. His 21-22 salary is partially guaranteed.
Hood’s 21-22 is non-guaranteed.
That get a young player in Little and a 2nd.
This would be an upgrade for the Blazers, especially since Nurkic is hurt

There is no way in hell the Blazers are giving up Nurkic. My opinion amyway.
