2021 NBA regular season thread

[shopson67]

Overthinking and taking out of context, again.

I was comparing the way the game was being played as to how they prepare off-season.

...and they don't equate whatsoever. Most of these players didn't even want this game and needed the in-season rest (especially teams that went deep into last year's playoffs). Not everyone had 9 months off like the Knicks.

No NBA experience, knew NBA players years ago.

again , things evolve over time.

mindsets , can’t imagine that changes much, especially with all the distractions we have today.

Years ago. Physical fitness, training, and nutrition has come light years since then. Take a look at a player like Lebron and tell us how many athletes like him played this deep into their careers hardly losing a step.

 

[shopson67]

...and a 12.72 PER, below average for the league

Like him to get that FG% up but he's been better than I expected after last season, that's for sure.

So torn....do not want to see them hurt lottery chances, but also so curious to see how they'd play with Nance/Love

Guessing so is his age of 21.

Using Lebron as an example is a joke!

he’s like a player/coach at this point.

has he even broke a sweat in the last 5 years ?

Lol, like tlance said, nothing but an offensive display, no defense played. For what a few minutes each.

wow, exhausting!

And still you fail at it.

But I think you're just messing with us, I do it too sometimes, post really dumb shit to see the reactions. You're not very bright but not as stupid as these latest posts.

So all players age 21 are below average players? Zion is at 26.87. Luka is at 26.31. Garland is tied for 204th in the league, along with Gary Trent Jr.

Wow you really cracked the case, no defense gets played in the All Star game you say? Call the newspapers!

It's more about the risk of injury, unnecessary travel, etc.

 

[Pastafazul]

Lol, so clueless!

like I was taught by the elders of the game of baseball

is same in the NBA, who do you think these kids are learning from.

Who do you see on the sidelines judging the dunk contest during the all star game?

open your minds !

Yes, and?

Lol, it’s not very hard to expose the truth behind all of you.

no...and being below avg. or bad in one category does not make you a below avg. or bad player. Though I guess the point of mentioning his age is that some 21-year-olds have been known to improve as they age.

He's not a bad player but looks like he might be below average

Years ago.

Exactly. There was a time when basketball players didn't lift weights because it was believed that it would bulk them up too much and they would lose some of their flexibility.

Guys used to smoke...in the locker room...at halftime.

Many injuries that used to be career ending, no longer are.

I remember when Magic Johnson decided he was getting old and needed to change his diet, so he cut out nachos. Now guys have personal chefs and nutritionists.

Players and organizations learn and adjust.
