2021 NBA regular season thread

I knew it... Amazon prime. I know how to stream Cards football anyways but I’ve never seen prime on the schedule screenings before

I think the Suns get in as a 7-8 seed but can also see them getting the 6 seed if things break right. They could be a tough matchup for the 3 seed......really like CP on that team.

Lakers are the only team that can play with them in a series and i would lean towards Brooklyn if both teams are completely healthy. That roster is literally perfect considering they have the 2nd best player and Kyrie who is a top 20 player and top 10 offensive player in the league. I never understood why pursue Harden with a roster thats so perfect

I never got Harden trade either... Sd, and LeVert can play multiple positions and are guards that could start for a title contender. Allen, Samet, and Harris. Nets are hella deep and have the right pieces for a championship team.

let’s see what their “leaders” will do with all that talent around them.

KD and Irving are going to be competing to be the #1 option while the Lakers don't have that nonsense.

It's going to be interesting. I think the KD/World B. Flat pairing in just another version of KD/Westbrook. It'll be interesting to see how long KD is willing to put up with another PG who forgets he has teammates late in close games.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Yeah I get that, but some of those 3s Irving wasn’t even looking for that second pass off a transition turnover, or missed shot.

Kyrie, and Durant will need rest this season. So get the rest of the team involved...

Only way they are going to actually compete for a title is a full team effort...one of Kyrie’s downfall’s is including the team. He’s always been a ME first guy...if he is playing great and winning-he is fine but even if he is the 2nd option playing great and winning-he is still unhappy. He just hasn’t soaked that part in yet bc he is dumber than a bar of soap.

Fucking coffee kicked in.

Had a coffee emergency this morning. Went to get some and realized I had forgotten to get some last time i went to the store. So, had to make a store run at 0 dark hundred.

But, they still had Jamaican Blue Mountain which, I'm convinced, is the coffee God drinks.

LAL, DEN, LAC, UTAH, PHX, DALLAS, NO, MEMPHIS

Those are my predictions. Dallas would be a lot higher with a healthy KP.

Once KP gets back they will make up ground IMO but I really like Phoenix.

In your scenario, that 1st round matchup between Utah and Phoenix would be really good.

Yeah I agree, I’ve also noticed there’s several possessions where he’s shook off a wide open Durant for a contested 3, or a dribble drive mis match... So far Durant looks happy when Irving’s shots have falling...

NASH = GOAT

Ha, of course you'd take the Nets.

They may push it to 6-7 games but the Lakers have them IMO. AD and James are a better duo and while the Nets are deep......so are the Lakers.

Nets have the better team 1-12 if we're being honest. They have the best roster in the league actually 1-12.

Yep and both are softer than Charmin mentally.

Sensitive AF. Why the pairing was odd.

 

[DJ Fieri]

And as the Clipps showed last season....the 1st season doesn't always go as planned.....

I honestly think Utah would get that gentleman’s sweep on the Suns because we don’t have Rubio anymore lol... Mitchell would tear the Suns apart

CP is an upgrade over Rubio....

 

[ChrisperJ10]

I don’t care who the Suns play... They’re not ready but I’m glad this fucking team is out of the purgatory state.

 

[bksballer89]

LOL.

Dinwiddie
Levert
Joe Harris
DeAndre Jordan
Jarrett Allen
Landry Shamet
Taurean Prince
Jeff Green

vs

Schroder
KCP
Gasol
Trez
Kuzma
Caruso
Matthews
Morris

This is both teams 3-10. The Nets roster is better IMO

 

[trojanfan12]

Nets have the better team 1-12 if we're being honest. They have the best roster in the league actually 1-12.

They have the most talented roster. That's not the same as having the best team.

 

[ChrisperJ10]

CP is an upgrade over Rubio....

I’ll take Rubio’s defense over Paul’s defense against a prime Mitchell any day of the week bruh...

Rubio is average at best on defense.
