2021 NBA regular season thread

So the all star game is tonight and all the skill competitions are at halftime?

Just the Dunk contest is at halftime. Skills and 3 Point contest are pregame

Griffin to the Nets. Of all the teams interested, I actually thought the Nets is the worst place for it but it shouldn't really matter if all 3 of Harden/Kyrie/KD can stay healthy

Yep without a major trade being made by one of the other contenders, hard to see another team beating them 4 out of 7 once they stay healthy. Scary thing about Brooklyn is it isn't just the big 3. They get solid contributions from the role players. Brown, Green, Harris, and even Claxton looking damn good as role players

Conley putting on a show

Conley just booked his ticket to the finals of the 3 pt contest

 

[bksballer89]

Steph made that look easy

If they use him as a stretch 5 to provide another type of big look, he could be an asset.

But this could backfire for sure. Low risk move though.

Woj tweeted they intend to use him at the 5 coming off the bench

Zion probably asking what the all star record for missed dunks is

 

[Pastafazul]

just tuned into the Lebron vs Durant game.

T lance, you see how hard these guys are working, lol . what you see in this game is exactly what you would see during the off season in those pick up games you claim where vets meet up with the young players.

Saying these guys work hard on the off season is beyond laughable.

Steph Curry and Chris Paul dunk better than Blake Griffin.

How can a judge give an 8 for that Cassius Stanley dunk? LOL.

The only thing laughable is your knowledge of the game

It's not a high risk move certainly but I'm not sure I would call it low risk. It's a roster spot and money. It could prevent them from bringing someone else in that actually has juice in the tank.

Maybe Griffin will somehow find his bounce again but it seems pretty unlikely and I have no idea who he can defend at this point.

Most of the night was underwhelming. Not having fans (well, lots of fans) definitely drained the energy of things. They shouldn't have played this

It actually doesn't. He got the minimum. They still have 2 roster spots open. Can offer one roster spot 5.7 m and the other 5.4 m

More risk than it was worth

I enjoyed the 3 pt contest. I basically didn't watch the game. Probably watched it for a total of 2-3 minutes
