2021 NBA regular season thread

I'd still say LaMelo gets it. He basically had the award locked up. Edwards will probably have to play similar to how he did last game for the rest of the season.

Dude, there's 30 games left. Edwards has to play really well the rest of the way but I'd be surprised now if LaMelo gets it.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Called it

He still only scored 2 pts in 14 minutes

 

[Thomas Anderson]

Preseason starts on Friday so decided to get this rolling

Very Good

Right?

It isn’t like he is unable to dunk.

The point is he used to be an athletic marvel, one of the top physical specimens in the entire league. He isn’t close to being that anymore.

Detroit is oddly in some rumors for gordon and oladipo.

Right?

He caught the d sleeping since he basically just camps the 3 point line now. He does that a few more times he will have to work for it.

We will see what he gives the Nets but he was a negative on the court with possibly the worst roster in the league. The Pistons were better with any other player in there other than Sekou who is just an absolute bust.

Fuck.

Very Good

Welcome.

Blown out by the Cavs. Outrebounded 54-37. Toronto needs a rebounding machine like Drummond. Such a force in the middle too.

Get it done...no matter what it costs. Like maybe Boucher, Powell and filler? Throw in multiple unprotected first rounders if needed.

Stephen A has a great point regarding black coaches.

Nash with no head coaching experience gets the head coaching job with the Nets.

Silas with 20 years experience gets the Rockets job and they end up trading RW and Harden. He is in no position to succeed while Nash is.

Dwayne Casey gets fired after being the COY. Nick Nurse inherits a good team.

Black coaches get the shorter end of the stick so to speak and it sucks.

He is going to end up getting bought out and signing with the Lakers.....

wont surprise me. Though possible their players wont want to watch him dribble, dribble, commit a TO or miss a 3 footer.

Guess it's possible he can change his ways for a title, but I'm not so sure.

I sure hope not.

Casey Jones and Bill Russell also had sh!t situations as coaches... it's criminal!!

Thankfully, we have the Stephen A Smith's of the world to give us such rich, balanced commentary.

 

[Wamu]

Welcome.

You don't mean that.

The Ohio State? LOL.

Hey, hey, hey! If yer makin' fun of Ohio State ya best stop.

No he doesn't. The NBA has hired far more black coaches than any other sport. Did Stephen A. also point out that Ty Lue (also no head coaching experience) replaced a coach whose team had been to the finals the season before and had a 30-11 record when he was fired? If so, did he mention the skin color of the coach Lue replaced.

Patrick Ewing says hold my beer.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Kareem.

The list goes on of coaches who never got a shot.

 

[Gman]

Kareem.

The list goes on of coaches who never got a shot.

So far, the list we have is...

• Stephen Silas
• Dwayne Casey
• Casey Jones
• Bill Russell
• Ty Lue
• Kareem Abdul Jabbar

All coaches who got the shaft... ?

And maybe it’s just a coincidence.

Silas has no chance of success after they traded away their 2 best players......we all know he'll be fired within 3 years, if not sooner.

Casey was fired after winning COY.

Russell got the job because he was a legend in Boston.

Lue was already an assistant on the Cavs.

Kareem wanted a head coaching job but never got one.

There are far more black assistant coaches in the League than white ones but more white coaches than black ones......that's an issue.
