2021 NBA regular season thread

Any chance anti Lebron sentiment is involved here?

I'm praying the Lakers win the title

Miami team wasn't close to as loaded. They actually made very few in season acquisitions ever during his 4 years there. Wanting everyone in the buyout window is lame

Yes they were.

More top heavy for sure.

As good as KD is, he ain’t prime LeBron.

And Harden isn’t prime Wade either.

I will take the Nets depth beyond the big 3 by a fair margin, but I am taking Miami’s big 3 all day long.

Was Wade ever in his prime outside of year 1 with the big 3?

Lebron beating the Nets in the finals this year will seal the deal when it comes to him being LeGoat James

Moses Brown with a double double already with 8 minutes left in the 2nd quarter.

Brown with 17 and 19 in the 1st half against the Celtics.

He’s worth a follow. Young man has promise. 34 picks over the next 7 years, you guys are positioned nicely.

SGA is still getting better and Lu Dort is already one of the best lock down defenders in the league. Looks like we might have a franchise center in the making. I love watching teams being built.

Maybe year 2.

But still. They were prime when they joined up.

We have no idea how long this Nets group will stay together. Is there even a possibility they could sign Aldridge next year?

I doubt it.

 

[bksballer89]

Dwight tossed again lmaoo

 

[fightinfunbags]

Terrance Mann has been incredible. Doc gave him a number of DNPs last year and he wants to show him what he missed.

There was no way I thought the Sixers would win this game. Tail end of a road trip. Clippers fully healthy. Sixers still missing Embiid. Sixers have already wildly exceeded expectations on this road trip.

I'm much more concerned about the Sixers winning the final game of the road trip in Cleveland.

The fact that two of the big 3 have missed so many games suggests that they are already on the downslope of their career.

Wade was still prime Wade really until the end of the big 3 era but the injuries and beating took a huge toll and he just wasn't the same after.

If the Nets big 3 stay healthy they are going to be very difficult to beat. But as the 1st year of the Heat big 3 era shows, it is not a guarantee.

Maybe the source got it wrong?

maybe Miami losing a bunch in a row had an affect. If he wanted to win a title the Nets were his best bet. If he wanted to hang in the sun Mimi was the better pick. Going to an under .500 Miami team prob. did not have him as excited as competing for a title

Me too. lol

Seriously though, I'd love to see the Nets get taken out by in the Eastern Conference playoffs.

If they lose in the finals, they can blame it on it being their first season together and say "Hey, we made the finals. We'll win it next year".

But if they lose before the finals? Good chance they spend the off-season imploding.

All comes down to whether KD can get healthy or not. If he does I don’t see them losing. Harden speaking up this week telling everyone he is the mvp is nothing but a positive for the rest of the league though.

 

[thunderc]

Al Horford and the Thunder have agreed that he won’t play the rest of the season. He will remain with the team in preparation for a new team next year. Hopefully the Thunder can make a run at a top 5 pick now.

It’s going to be a long 5 years for nets haters. I expect they will keep adding players because everyone is going to want to play there.

I see it no difference than what Lebron did in LA/CLE/MIA. Kyrie/Harden is about equivalent to Lebron getting AD or Lebron getting Bosh/Wade or Lebron getting Kyrie/Love. LA landed Gasol and Schroeder and nobody cried. Not sure what the big deal is. Also it’s the GM’s job to make the team better, so not sure why people are knocking Durant.

I don't think the Nets window is 5 years. KD's 32. Hadren's 31. And Kyrie will be 29 by the end of the season. I think their window is more like 2 or 3 years.

But it is funny that some have had an issue with what LeBron has done during his career. Yet KD doesn't get criticism for what he's done. Joined a team he couldn't beat to get that elusive first ring. Then ran to Brooklyn to team up with Kyrie. That flat Earther Kyrie has quit on two teams. And Strip Club James also quit on his former team forcing that trade.

Also are you orignally from Ohio, if so what part?
