2021 NBA regular season thread

agree.....was talking more about his deliberate kicks to the nuts.

That is the point.

There weren’t any deliberate kicks.

 

[Robotech]

Kick ball should be delay of game and then a free throw the second time. I just watched the Nuggets stop a 2 on 1 fast break with a kick.

Yeah, Draymond is a little clumsy.

 

[tlance]

Yeah, Draymond is a little clumsy.

And before the LeBron incident in the Finals, he would always flail his arms and legs when he got contact on a drive. That is how he tried to make it look like he was fouled.

He worked hard to change that habit after all the publicity in the 2016 playoffs.

Yeah, I haven't seen it in forever. I think C.J. McCollum had a worse one a season or two ago.

I just watched it

It looks bad. But his eyes are on the rim, not on Adams groin obviously. And his habit was to flail. That particular time he made contact.

And Steven Adams and Draymond shook hands after the series. In an interview, Adams said it wasn't intentional. If Adams doesn't have a problem with Draymond, then why should anyone else?

Jokic dropped 47,12, & 5 today. He is my MVP if the season ended today

His skillset is remarkable

 

[Wamu]

Most consecutive double/double's to start a season (since the merger 1976-77)

1. Bill Walton- 34 ('76-'77)
2. Nikola Jokic - 20 so far (this season)
3. Giannis- 19 ('19-'20)
4. Domantas Sabonis- 16 (this season)
5. Moses Malone- 16 ('81-'82)

Best passing big man by far in the league. Been watching his career since he was a rookie.

 

[Wamu]

This is too funny to be real. But I didn't make it up.

On Friday the Texas Department of Safety accidentally issued an amber alert for chucky.

 

[WiggyRuss]

I wonder if this will be the year a team like the Jazz or Nuggets can break through and make the Finals.......

Jazz especially look good right now.

 

[WiggyRuss]

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

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

Bertans is a strange strange signing.

 

[WiggyRuss]

I have more of an issue with Klay than draymond comment. Saying his career is done is just weak but McGruder would be wrong if he came out and said he hope Klay tears his other Achilles right?

Klay's big mouth has definitely hurt them in the past.

Its a lot of talk for a guy that hasnt played in 2 years.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Not overvaluing anything. It's the Lakers best offer and I've been very clear that it would take a minor miracle for a Beal to the Lakers trade to happen anyway.
s.

major miracle

like the Lakers GM having compromising pictures of the Wizards GM. lol.

 

[WiggyRuss]

I doubt that is the common belief from everyone that watched. He has a pussy reputation, period. Hard thing to get rid of.

exactly-

and then he magically stopped doing it...lol....

oh man.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Yep considering Beal is a top 15 player and top 10 offensive player, THT is nothing in a trade for Beal

exactly.

the only thing that might be a 2 out of a 10 on an interest scale MIGHT be Kuzma- but they have Bertans, Haichimura and Advida already. Why get a guy making 13M a year who is redundant and blocks your young guys?

if you offered KCP or Harrell for free to the Wiz they would say no. With the players they already have under contract/rookie deals they would likely say no to Kuzma for free.

theyd prob. take Schroeder for free since hes expiring.
