The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

[The Q]

This guy lmao

He still ran circles around mazzulla in the playoffs

 

[Pastafazul]

No one would be saying the Celtics would be first if they didn’t luck into on last year with their below avg hc

Would like to respond, but I’m tryin like heck to understand it…

I’ll try , what does an alleged below avg coach have to do with a very talented 5 , and depth team that could hit 3’s from every where on the court?

This guy lmao

lol

I guess that's one way of looking at it.

If I was the owner, I'd fire him for embarrassing the franchise by saying something that stupid.

 

[Pastafazul]

Lebron fans hate the truth lol

I never had a bad word to say about leclown till this year

I honestly never would believe that a player with all he was blessed with would turn into a 240lb stompin & floppin, stormin the court like a 2 year old whose toy was takin from him…

anybody with a brain sees this, but they turn a blind eye to it cause he’s the face of the game. It has clearly turned a lot of fans of game away from it.

Tells ya a lot about the apologists.

Dirty Europeans...

Wait.

First off it was his left ankle

Did I see sabonis, who I told everyone was a threat on the court, and the usual suspects here defended him, did he step on JTs foot?

And how do you show so much pain then put weight on it?

Help me out here

Doesn't know how sprained ankles work...but wants people to believe he played a sport at a "high level".

His idea of playing sports at a "high level" is smoking some rocks and turning on his video game system.

 

[Jordan23]

correct. Only the MJ nuthuggers like you think not even a discussion on who the GOAT is.

But you do you.

Discussion sure, but hard for me to give to a guy cause he played longer and a guy who whines and flops and calls himself the GOAT. Arrogant

 

[tlance]

I felt like when I watched replays zaza took an intentional and unnecessary step but then again that was a slow motion replay so you may be right. I do think they should do a better job of determining which one is a true reckless close out and which isn’t. Not everytime a shooters lands on the defender foot is a reckless close out but they won’t be changing this unfortunately

I agree the extra step wasn’t necessary. What I never agreed with was the assumption by some that Zaza took that step to intentionally place his foot under Kawhi.

I’m not anywhere near as big as Zaza.

But I have been him. Guarding a guy who is just better than me. Trying my best to stay in front. You get off balance, the player steps into a jumper and you do what you can to contest.

I have stepped under a shooter’s feet before.

Certainly not on purpose.

I just hate the stigma that the whole Zaza/Kawhi thing brought. And I think it is wrong to stigmatize that play and plays like it.

 

[tlance]

Celtics fans are calling for a Sabonis suspension.

Stupid.

Calls himself GOAT no good but cheating on his wife, punching teammates, quitting the sport (allegedly) is OK?

The whining and flopping leave many out of GOAT convo.

 

[realityball]

Stupid.

no it’s not

That’s because you’re unathletic and should not be guardin the girl

And you don’t lose your balance, You get beat…

and if you try and make up for it, it’s and 1

You are a dumbass.

I have guarded NBA players.

 

[Pastafazul]

You are a dumbass.

I have guarded WNBA players.

Fixed it

 

[tlance]

Fixed it

You know nothing about me.

Besides. We are talking about NBA players guarding other NBA players and being outclassed athletically.

If you have never guarded someone more athletic and also highly skilled than you haven’t gone up against anyone who is any good.

Because you are not an NBA level athlete.

I know enough…

And I have guarded what was to be future NBA players as well , it was tough, but I never lost balance , I actually got called for some quick ones cause the putz complained to ref before game even started …

And lastly, had I been at least 4 inches taller, and my time, would have definitely gone far…. I was very athletic, had euro step before most knew what it was , my hang time was not the norm, had a very very good shot, quick lateral movement , scored 40 in a high school game when there was no 3. And the competition I played against, with the nut coach we had, was dam good .

Ohh and I played D like no other ! And that’s why I got stuck guardin the best
