2021 NBA regular season thread

Herro is actually a legit answer

Sexton and Wiseman are not. The Warriors arent trading for Beal with Thompson due back next year. The Cavs are not giving Sexton for a guy with a year and a half left on his contract.

I really do not think you have a realistic idea of what you are talking about. The Holliday and Harden trades included a ton of picks from teams that have KEvin Durant and Giannis signed long term.

but- time will tell.

I mean- it is the Wiz- so they will find a way to screw it up. lol

No.

As has been proven time and again, it is you who doesn’t have a realistic idea of what you are talking about.

Especially when it comes to teams and players where your biases come into play.

Cleveland won’t trade Sexton for Beal, which means they aren’t in the market for Beal. That is the starting price. Either that or Garland AND Okoro.

And of course the Wizards will screw it up. That is what they do best.

Nice win last night....

You are the resident pessmist with Mecca MIA.

Something not right with Dallas.....

I mean....I have no words.

And yet...you keep typing them.

Haha.

You have to admit I have good reason!

Haha.

Personally... I'm bullish on the Wizards...

... Davis Bertans is gonna lead y'all to the mountaintop.

AD had a monster game.....and Harrell had 16 points off the bench. Boston really needs some help in the post.

James just did his thing.

^ And despite all that... it was a 1 point win that easily could have gone either way.

Personally, I think there is a pleasing contrast between these two teams... bigger vs smaller, certainly... would make a fun Finals match-up if the basketball gods will it...

I certainly didn't come away from last night thinking the Celtics didn't have a chance vs the Laker's size, though.

And the Lakers could have played a lot better.....AD and Harrell were the only ones who played great.

LeBron didn't shoot well and Kuzma was just meh......the rest of the bench sucked.

 

[DJ]

Sorry @Wamu.....I know you were hyped for the game last night.

What's on the barbecue today? Steaks I made on Friday were good, but I didn't season them enough. I love Lawrys.

^ Certainly, both teams had guys that could have played better...

... that's true of basically every game.

He might.

I heard they were planning an off-season team building event where Bertans will be leading some mountainous hikes.

Klay and Draymond are true professionals...real stars probably would have just ignored but Draymond talks about McGruder for 2 minutes in postgame. Get over it and move on.

Agree. For example, you're not going to see a lot of 1 for 12 games from Kemba. When he got that look, my thought was "that fuckers about to go 2 for 12 and win the game for them".

On Marcus Smart: Woj just tweeted that it's a calf strain. Out 1-2 weeks.

Rejoice!

I hope they keep him out longer... as long as they have to... it'll be hard because we're talking Marcus Smart here, and I'm sure he'll want to play sooner...

... but the memory of what happened to Kevin Durant should loom large here... for everybody in the Celtics organization, including Smart.

Yeah, that was my first thought.

Durant was “just” a calf strain too.

Until he came back too soon.

Put Habanero sauce on it.
