2021 NBA regular season thread

Only CP3 of that group resembles a championship player, and he hasn't gotten there with any of his teams yet either.

I'd like to see CP3 get a ring before his playing career is over.

I personally think no they can’t make it out of the west without Davis. It’s going to be tough with him at this point.

With him they are still the faves.....after picking up Drummond and McLemore. They added a center and a scorer off the bench.

Only Kawhi on last years team resembles one.

Dude had the talent on his rosters to do a lot more in the playoffs than he did.

Were we ever told by dj who the Drummond haters are?

You. Wiggy. LB24.

Like I said, good to very good. Not excellent, not great.

This.

I've lost any shred of my sense of humor. You should know this.

Strange that it took that postponement for me to find out what happened. I guess I'm going a good job of avoiding the news, lol.

Very sad.

 

[DJ Fieri]

He's not a bad coach, or even an average coach. He's a good coach who's not really considered that, which is why he's underrated IMO

BOOM.

Agreed. Running out of opportunities though, and may have to be after his contract runs out (or is bought out in the final year). He's still really good, but not $40M+ of your cap trying to win a championship good. The Suns would need to go on a hell of a run IMO.

Forgot about his huge contract. I hope for his sake the Suns can make a magical run to the title. They're a good team. But I don't see them winning it all.

Who were the 4 HOFers in Boston? Obviously Pierce, KG & Allen. Is the 4th Brian Scalabrine?

I had Rondo in mind but HOFer is a slight exaggeration

All Star player though

 

[dtgold88]

He‘s had the talent though.

In Boston he’s had 4 HOF players and only got one title

In LA he’s had a prime CP3, a prime Blake Griffin, Kawhi and Paul George and never got out of the 2nd round in the playoffs.

That to me screams mediocrity at best.

Give those teams to guys like Phil Jackson, Pop, Pat Riley, Lenny Wilkins or even probably guys like Larry Brown and Rudy T and you’ll probably get 2 or 3 championships out of those rosters at least.

Might be wrong but doesn't Wilkins only have 1 title? Never got to Finals with a pretty impressive Cavs' team. Not like winning titles is easy...Riley has had many years where he didn't even get to Finals or go far in playoffs. Guessing you know some of those Laker's teams were pretty stacked.

True...but the team who often stopped them had some talent, too.

ehh..yea. prob not. Maybe based on his playoff success but idk. Obviously he couldn't carry a bad team to much. Nice player to have on a good team. can make a difference.

Wilkens is generally known as one of the best coaches in history. He never even got close to coaching stacked teams like Doc had and still won a title with an average Sonics team.

Also, Riley won 5 rings in 10 years with the Lakers in the 80s - I think that’s pretty damn good especially as he faced a team with FIVE HOF players multiple times.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Not even close to what the Celtics had

 

[Stakesarehigh]

I guess if Dennis Johnson is a HOF it's not crazy for Rondo to be one also

 

[tlance]

AD's injury is a little similar to KD's.....can the Lakers make it out of the WC without him?

Drummond would be the #2 option and Schroder the #3 without AD.....IDK.

No.

 

[Heatles84]

Wait a minute. You had a sense of humor, when? Just kidding.


Did you hear that De'Aaron Fox was fined 20K for being critical of the refs and Kyrie made unnecessary contact with a ref and was fined nothing? That doesn't seem right.

I wouldn't fuck with someone who thinks the world's flat. That guy's not right in the head. So it makes sense.
