2021 NBA regular season thread

Whether or not Collins is worth that much, I do love his skillset, but he is still putting up nice numbers but it’s been on a non-playoff team. Lets see what he can do this year, healthy, hopefully ATL will be a playoff team so we can see what he can do. Another guy betting on himself, he just doesn’t have the track record, just the one year. Needs to have a big year this year

His numbers the year before was very similar. Was at 19.5 and 9.8 in the 2018-19 season so that's 2 out of 3 years and and both years when he was a fulltime starter.

I take back what I said earlier about him

Totally right? lol You have said things like John wall and Westbrick are better than kyrie lol....The cavs would be better with Delly against GS because he guarded Curry better.....Kyrie fit in fine with Lebron and love and is fitting in fine with Durant and the nets.

You can't be dropping 30-40+ and not be a superstar, hitting game winning 3's on the road in the finals in game 7. Those here who didn't think Kyrie and KD would work don't understand basketball. If Kyrie and Lebron worked why would something similar not work? Kyrie and KD are probably a better pairing then Kyrie and Lebron, because KD is so much better offensively than Lebron. When everyone got butthurt about Irving's comments about taking the last shot, the funny thing was he was correct. Lebron hates taking the last shot, no matter what the %'s say, he is scared to take it, and only takes it if he absolutely has too.

I wasn't taking a victory lap. They will win if they can stay healthy...And you will continue to make excuses

Bro, I said that in like 2013 when it was true!

You said Kyrie was better than Curry in 2016!

It might actually be true today. But you were still horribly wrong when you originally said it.

That would be like me saying today Zion Williamson is better than LeBron, then declaring myself right in 2025 when it becomes true.

And Kyrie and KD is definitely a better fit in terms of skill set than Kyrie and LeBron. There is no question about it. KD is much better than LeBron playing off the ball.

Anyone with an elementary basketball IQ understands that.

No doubt an underrated player, love his skilset. So what is he trying to get? A Tatum or Mitchell type of extension?

That's what it sounds like. My guess is he wants at least over 100 mil

I'd also take LeVert over Schroder.

You guys are going to change your tune when Scroeder score about 12 straight when others are struggling. I seen it tons of times, you guys got a great player and a class dude, you will be nothing but happy with him.

I was sold on Schroder before the Lakers got him. It's only been 2 games, but I'm more sold on him now. I'm not sure they've had anyone as quick and fast as him since Nick Van Exel and I don't think even Van Exel was a quick as Schroder.

Magic still ahead of Lebron? Kobe at 5? Hahaha

Magic was a 6-9 PG who also played C when needed......Magic was a fucking beast?

What's wrong with Kobe at 5? James bumped him down a spot.

Let's see your top 10 @Shanemansj13....

 

[DJ Fieri]

Just got home like 20 minutes ago. Woman wasn't feeling well so I had to take our daughter to JC Pennys, Clares and let her drive around Kalispell.....would still be out if the woman wanted to go. Thank goodness daughter isn't like her mom.

Not unhappy with him necessarily....just thinking about ways we can improve.

That's all.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Let's see your top 10 @Shanemansj13....

1. MJ
2. LBJ
3. Kareem
4. Magic
5. Hakeem
6a. Shaq
6b. Wilt
7. Bird
8. Duncan
9. Kobe
10. Oscar

Wasn’t shitting on yours btw I just think Russell is overrated. You know I love Hakeem but those 3 big men are in any order after Kareem imo

 

[DJ Fieri]

Fuck, I forgot Olajuwon.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Blake Griffin just isn’t the same player inside and athletically, like not close at all but omg he can shoot the ball. His 3 ball looks great. I knew his shot was improving but damn, he is keeping them in the game

 

[Shanemansj13]

Fuck, I forgot Olajuwon.

Damn right

 

[DJ Fieri]

1-MJ
2-Magic
3-James
4-Kareem
5-Kobe
6-Wilt
7-Russell
8-Shaq
9-TD
10-Oscar Robertson

Bird and KD are right outside IMO. Think if he can recover KD gets in eventually.

7-Shaq
8-Olajuwon

Russell gets bumped out.

Man there’s a lot of blame to go around for the Warriors. Their two blow out losses at least came to the two teams that should be in the conference finals but damn it was embarrassing.

The only obvious bright spot has been Wiseman. I think the Warriors got a star in him. He’s still so raw and has so much upside and he’s already the 2nd best player on the Warriors.

Curry hasn’t been great. Oubre and Wiggins have been horrible. Paschall and Poole look like they regressed. It’s incredible.

The biggest gripe I have though is...once again....Steve Kerr. He’s trying to stay with his system and fit square pegs into round holes. This team doesn’t have the shooting nor the passing to be the Old Warriors yet he’s putting Oubre and Wiggins in actions meant for Klay or Kd or Iguodala and expecting them to make the same plays. It’s ridiculous. Curry should have the ball in his hand 75% of the time and they should just run a ton of pick and roll action.

When Duncan, Ginobil and Parker started to age, Pop changed the entire offense of the team. That was a big thing I remember in the Spurs adjustments. Kerr seems to think they can just get guys and hope the fill the roles he wants instead of using them at their best. Curry needs to play on the ball and let him create. Giving the ball to Oubre or Wiggins on the wong and watching them go 1 on 3 is not the answer.

What's this 6a and 6b shit? It's top 10.

This is why I hate lists and top so and so.....somebody always gets fucked.

Somebody in a sports group on FB really ripped into Kerr....saying he just managed egos and shit when they were winning.....they said he sucks as a HC.

I agree with your post.

Up my 6 with Blake on fire from 3 and Drummond just throwing up shit whenever he gets the ball, cmon man. Stop being trigger happy. Sexton, Garland and Osman playing great. Osman seems to be evolving into a sniper from 3
