Official NBA Discussion Thread

Did you read the tweet? I don't disagree with anything you said. Was just laughing at Skip saying no one ever said Jordan got tired, when he wrote a column in 1998 saying that Jordan got tired

Sorry Harv, i was more replying in exasperation that folks think these players should be able to be at the top of their game and single handedly will their teams to victory. Lebron has played in all 96 games the Cavs have played this season...that's ridiculous. Not a diehard Bron Bron fan but gotta give the man some credit.

 

[Van Gorstache]

Lebron's name backwards is Norbel. Just thought you guys should know.

 

[demeat]

Hmmm, I think Prime Kobe > Prime Lebron. He makes Lebron look slow and clumsy at times.

Someone is begging for attention

Someone is begging for attention

Yep, beginning to think we have a subject for the deranged e-persona series @Denim Vest

 

[demeat]

Why do we dismiss Kobe from the conversation? I found that video to be entertaining.

GOAT

GOAT

Durant is good, but not sure about GOAT.

From one of the oldest if not the
oldest poster here, I used to watch the Bulls & MJ, but I pretty much quit watching for years. Also the Magic/Bird rivalry & also remember Bill Russell & Wilt. Then comes the Modern #23 & here I am again. I watched live TV The Decsion Deal that sent him to the Heat & then he donates all the money to kids that need it. Some say that was showmanship, but who cares because he pulled it off. Also my sons high team played in the FedEx Forum in 2010 & stayed for the Cavs/Grizzly game. My dad hated basketball, but when the Cavs first four goals were dunks by the GOAT, he chided that THAT GUY could have been the greatest tight end of all times. This got too long, but imma fan

My God that was long. Thanks for your post and support to the Greg.

not even close

 

[demeat]

not even close

I was being sarcastic. But he was by far the best player last night.

 

[Boytano]

absolutely

 

[FormerlyKnownAsSOLLY]

So typical, they just flash the stat that Lebron is the only player in NBA to score 50+ and lose. Lol. MJ’s all time high finals is 55.

So if the KING puts 100 on the opponent & loses 101-100, it's all on him. Yeah that makes sense

 

[Slippin Jimmy]

Didn’t know where to put this but it looks like @jeramye ‘s Mavs got a huge pickup today. Future looking bright in Dallas. Also it’d be cool if @MomentInTheSun turned this into just a regular old NBA discussion thread

 

[MomentInTheSun]

Lol

Lol

Dude's a mental case.

 

[MomentInTheSun]

Lookin like Lonzo Ball is about to be out of LA. AD to the Lakers gonna happen

 

[AuWaterfowl]

Lonzo going to get traded twice is my guess.

 

[MomentInTheSun]

Lol

 

[MomentInTheSun]

Three steps at half court into a dunk. This dude is so insane

 

[wcw3au1]

Life long Raptors fan here. Will be so excited if Kawhi can raise the trophy tonight. He's been amazing in these playoffs.

Would root for almost anyone vs Draymond and the Warriors. Like KD tho, wish he hadn't ended up there.

 

[Denim Vest]

Was thinking Raptors might be in trouble with KD back then he goes down.

And it wouldn’t be an NBA finals if I didn’t mention how annoying Jeff Van Gundy is.

With you. I can't even come up with an imaginary team of people I hate that I wouldn't pull for against Draymond and the Warriors.

 

[Harvey Specter]

Devastated at that loss. Completely lost our minds for a couple possessions, then leave Lowry to take the game winner. All while Cousins was doing to his best to give the game away. That one hurts

 

[Harvey Specter]

Our Raptors finally did it

 

[cookedw]

 

[wcw3au1]

(1$ to Gus) Boom Connard!

 

[ShenaniganZ]

Our Raptors finally did it

I just hate that it couldn't have been Green that got hurt instead of the others.

 

[Van Gorstache]

Our RAPTORS finally did it

fify

 

[Weagle1492]

Unpopular opinion, but the shit that happened to the warriors is 100% justice. You put together a super team with 4 all stars + dray (who was an allstar at one point I think), and guys like boogie taking 30 million dollar paycuts just to win an easy ring those guys deserve to lose, and honestly I couldn't have come up with a better punishment for KD ruining the league for 3 years with his cowardly dumb**** decision to go to an already championship team just to take the easy road than only winning one ring, which no one credits him for, and then putting in all that work only to not win another and be forced to sit out next season.

Also, Klay is a huge douche and gets a pass because of his pot head demeanor but if you pay attention dude is actually an asshole. So yeah. **** the warriors, I'm ecstatic that team lost and fell apart the way they have.

I wish KD had never gone there, but this shit is karma. Next year will be the first year in a long time that the NBA might actually be competitive and I'm really looking forward to it. If we're lucky we'll never see a super team like this again, it ruins the sport and I have 0 respect for KD or boogie.

 

[Slippin Jimmy]

Welp AD is joining the Lake Show. The King finna turn LA back into Titletown

 

[MomentInTheSun]

JJ Redick could walk from philly. If he moves to the Lakers, then baby you’ve got a stew going

 

[ohsfan28]

If the Lakers are smart, they will save LeBron for the playoffs and not worry about their seed. He is getting too old to play big minutes for the entire season.

Kevin Durant is a weird dude. He apparently makes up fake names to argue with trolls on the internet. Never seen another professional athlete do that

 

[MomentInTheSun]

Woj says that KD is gonna announce his decision later tonight. Would be really interesting if he and Kawhi team up to dominate the east

 

[MomentInTheSun]

Eeek

[Slippin Jimmy]

Kawhi to LA would just be unfair. Love King James obviously but 3 top 5 players on the same squad is just too much. Gonna be fun to see the Warriors get their comeuppance though
