NBA The Consolidated NBA Thread

if the Nuggets remain healthy and Jamal Murray returns this season to the level he can play, they are going to take some beating

Celtic go down to the Knicks in double overtime.

It's going to be another one of those seasons I think.

not my all time favourite but my brother was a big Detroit "Bad Boys" Pistons fan and so I got to watch a lot of them as a kid and I always loved Isiah Thomas and Dennis Rodman

Scottie Pippen

Mine is
MV3 D.Wade
Closely followed by Steph Curry. The man is a cheat code. Doubled teamed and still hits threes.

Dwyane Wade was out of this world in the 2006 NBA Finals... averaged 35 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, and 1 block on 47% efficiency and led the Heat to the championship after they were 0-2 down

pity his body started to break down shortly after LeBron took his talents to South Beach

Dwayne Wade in the 2006 playoffs is the 2nd highest peak from a SG I've ever seen play. Only better was MJ.

fair enough... I was curious whether a case could be made for Kobe Bryant in the finals but only really the 2009 numbers stack up to an extent and it was Kobe's most efficient run... but Wade's numbers were still better, Shaq wasn't the Lakers Shaq whereas Gasol was a better second option comparatively speaking (ie. 2006 Shaq vs 2009-2010 Gasol), and I rate Dirk's Mavericks over Dwight's Magic

Jordan of 1991-1993 was scary

The Celtics are killing me with how much worse they get every season. There's still no offense even with Stevens gone. It's just give the ball to Brown and Tatum and watch them play iso ball.. Aside from Robert Williams, Nesmith and maybe Pritchard, there's no one else on that roster worth talking about.

We'll finish 7th or 8th again if we're lucky and be a complete non factor in the playoffs.

 

[B-Train]

Some rookies for everyone to watch.. Sengun looked good for Houston. Duarte looks great for Indiana and Evan Mobley looks like a young Anthony Davis.

 

[B-Train]

I told you guys the Heat are for real this season. They're my pick to win the whole thing

 

[Freakzilla]

Steph Curry has 25 points in the first quarter.

 

[alchemist]

Steph Curry finishes with 45 points with 8 from 13 three pointers... the Warriors start the season with back-to-back wins over the LA teams while missing Klay Thompson and Wiseman

They had 2 1sts in this past draft. Should’ve traded them and Draymond/Wiggins for Ben Simmons.

 

[B-Train]

Man Simmons and Klutch are really going to do anything possible to not play but still get paid.. The other day he faked back tightness, now he's playing the mental health card and won't play til he's mentally ready and has met with professionals.. They can then use mental health to justify why he wasn't at preseason games etc and then can try and claim the $2 million he's lost back..

It's all a bunch of bullshit. I've never seen anyone work harder not to play. He makes Kyrie seem like a good teammate. It makes a mockery of his teammates. Of the fans.. And of anyone that has genuine mental health problems. Fuck Ben Simmons and his Kardashian/Jenner diva like attitude.

Tyler Herro = 6th MAN OF THE YEAR

 

[From the area]

The way we shut down down Giannis yesterday was so amazing to watch. Love the shit fouls he gives away when he’s frustrated and he can’t bully his way to the rim. Heat are a team full of dogs. You gotta be willing to grab your nuts and go into the trenches.

 

[Bulldog wazza]

I gotta say Lavine along with Lonzo and AC really looking good at the Bulls this year. If Williams and Vooch get going these guys going to push to the top of Central for sure.

Have to agree. Good young gun team.
