The Consolidated NBA Thread

AD just went berserk. 40 pts, 20 rebounds in 30 mins. Will be hard to stop them when Kuzma returns

 

defense was not existent in the wizards v rockets game

 

Nice win by the C’s.

 

HOW BOUT THEM SPURS?

6 losses in a row!

Shit c***....

We are suffering Dogs syndrome lol

 

Sorry bro, not funny!!

 

Believe me I know brother, have been a Spurs fan since the Robinson days.

 

woo, almost back to .500

 

Was a big fan, oh the good old days how I miss the personal rivalries. Now that was basketball.

 

Time for the Spurs to trade Aldridge and DeRozan and just rebuild.

 

Vale Kobe Bryant

 

It’s so sad man. 41 with 4 kids

 

Anyone watching the all star weekend?

 

Aaron Gordon robbed yet again.... that one hander 360 off the side of backboard was probably best ive ever seen

 

He is arguably the greatest dunker of all-time and he has 0 dunk titles. What a load of crap.

Ja Morant said he wont compete in the dunk contest in the future because of how they ripped of AG.

 

Fuck I feel bad for AG, absolutely robbed again. Dunk Comp doesn’t deserve him. D Wade’s a legend but he fucked him hard today.
Good on Ja Morant though

 

Just watched the first 2 episodes of "The Last Dance". So good!

 

they twisted it to explain why they were breaking up the team, the Scottie Pippen contract was finally expiring in 1998 and was determined to leave, so the bulls knew it was over after that year including Jordan who only signed for 1 year and didn't want any part of playing without pippen because people would know the difference

they had pippen and Jordan locked down on major discount for most of the last 10 years, it was ok for Jordan because he had unbelievable money coming in from outside

but pippen was counting down the days until he could leave the bulls and the bulls knew he was counting down the days, the only thing that could save the situation was the bulls overpaying him to make up for it

 

btw I know they touched on the pippen situation in the 2nd episode but they downplayed it overall

the first thing that happened was pippens contract was ending in 1998, they weren't going to pay him, so that's the only reason it was the last dance

if pippen was expiring in 1999 then they would sign Jackson until 1999 and Jordan would sign again for 1999, I don't know how rodman was playing then but they would probably bring him back also

 

If this doco tells us anything it's that Jordan could not win without Pippen and thats a blemish on Jordan unfortunately

 

i dont think any team could win with just 1 superstar really. Its a team sport. 1 player can only go so far.

Could the Bulls have won without Pippen saying in the 1996 or 97 season without Pippen? Probably not, we wont ever know. That Bulls team taking out Pippen and MJ is nothing but role players and other handy players. I don't think it puts a blemish on his career at all.
