2021 NBA regular season thread

[Wamu]

Yeah, I've been very critical of Draymond. I just want to recognize when he does play well. He's about to turn 31, so I doubt he'll play close to his contract enough to satisfy the fans. I'd love it if he got his scoring back to at least 10 per game, but at least his single digits in rebounds and assists are pretty high.

I've said more than my fair share of stuff about Dray. And was a very important piece of the Warriors dynasty. But to be honest in his prime I'd want him on my team.

31 isn't old anymore in the NBA

Funny but based on his actions it may be true

May be. But not.

Also because they don't want to be there this year with all the restrictions. The players don't want to play this year. I'm thinking the Warriors invent an injury for Curry so he can skip it and rest.

He's worth every penny to this team. You completely misunderstand his value. Usually it's non Warriors fans who do that.

Would be fine with me if he rested a lot and they dropped to the bottom 10.

What's "the bottom 10"?

What's "the bottom 10"?

The thunder have their 1st round pick if they don’t finish in the top 20, otherwise we get the TWolves 2nd rounder.

actually I think I got this mixed up but the thunder do have a conditional pick but now that I think about it it is top 20 protected.

Oh ok got it. They're not gonna be bottom 10 this year. Must be challenging to keep track of all those picks LOL

Oh it’s fn impossible . Ok I got it now, for Oubre the Thunder got a conditional 1st rounder this year that is top 20 protected. So basically I guess that means if the Warriors can finish top 10 that the Thunder will get their draft pick. If they don’t then the pick reverts to the TWolves 2nd rounder. So we need the Warriors to finish top 10 then so no down time for curry, sorry.

when you say top 10 does that mean a pick from 21-30? confusion, I think, is most might call that a bottom 10 pick. and no doubt you'd much prefer that to a 2nd.

Yeah top 20 protected means a pick from 21-30, which would be better than the 31 pick of the TWolves. Yea, we need a bottom 10 pick which requires a top 10 finish

No need to apologize really.

He's valuable if he's playing well, which he hasn't done since the 2019 playoffs. He's looked great the last 3 games, so hopefully he keeps it up.

That's a silly comment but whatever.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

This guy needs his ass kicked.

I mean, he's a star player but I wouldn't go as far as to call him a superstar

 

[Wamu]

The Celtics won last night! Now they're back on track. Brooklyn and Philly have officially been put on notice. I think Boston could sweep either team in three.

I would gladly take him right now.

Bad contract be damned. Bertans for Draymond would make the Wizards a lot better.
