NBA ***2024 NBA Thread - Let The Games Begin***

They need to stop showing teams on national television that just played the night before. It’s not going to be the greatest effort. It’s mostly sad for that fans that pay for tickets to watch. It’s good they stopped load management but brutal back to back schedules are not easy.

Celtics played 5 games in 7 days

542 players have seen NBA action so far , Jordan Poole is dead last in +/- at -342.

Gaymond didn't hit him hard enough.

The only acceptable answer is fuck the Celtics

Lot easier playing 3rd/4th fiddle than being the priority.

After everything I've seen and heard from him this season, it's almost a surprise nobody punched him sooner

Goes to show how big of a fluke the warios were in 2021. Him, Otto and wiggins have never been able to replicate that year.

Wiggins, Draymond and a third for LeCan sounds about right.

It's not easy to play a heavy load.

Makes you appreciate guys like MJ that played a full 82 nine times in the most difficult era of basketball. Pretty incredible when you reflect on it. GOAT bless.

Of course the Warriors are open to trades, but nobody wants their trash lmao

Hey they just want a 7 footer who can shoot and score. I wonder if Jokic or Embiid is available. Lmao

 

[Sweater of AV]

Warriors would definitely love AD.

Curry and AD would at least be .500.

Only thing I’ve said about this team was about their inconsistency? Yikes what a shit take. Like I said, you have no rebuttal or understanding. It’s totally fine.

I also never said the team was bad once. Go ahead and quote me where I’ve said that. I’ll wait…

Anyways good job using the sudden “I don’t have enough time for this” excuse. You were better off ghosting like Muster lmao. You guys are too easy to counter lol

Too easy to counter..? like I'm keeping score about bickering about sports with some dude on the web..?? Lol

I stated my case, so whatever. I think our disagreement fundamentally lies on whether blowing up the old squad for the new squad was a good idea.. I prefer the new team, u prefer the old team config with Brunson.

Either way, I think it'd be very tough for either squad to win it all. Realistically I think Luka's best chance to win a title is to leave and go to a perfect situation in a super team, I don't think that's Dallas's fault either.. it's extremely hard to win a title in the nba, and circumstances haven't lined up in a way that they needed too.. (the right players being available, or dallas being an attractive destination for established stars).

Not sure why days later you want to try and argue again lmao. But yes, very easy to counter when you can’t even back up what you say when I ask you to elaborate or provide quotes of things I’ve supposedly said. Don’t worry it’s easy to keep score when it’s entirely one sided lol.

Just move on like Muster and you’ll be fine.

Lol. Such a heavy load he needed multiple years off during his prime to manage. Very few "GOATS" in any occupation have shown such little mental fortitude. Its not surprising that the biggest can on this site worships the mentally weak

He also had 2 other seasons where he played 80 and 81 games so in 11 seasons he only missed 3 games.

Kyrie/Luka is enough to get it done. I'm not convinced they can't win it all. Dirk did it without a Kyrie.

 

[MusterX]

Just move on like Muster and you’ll be fine.

Arguing with you is a dead end. Eventually its just best to move to the ultimate conclusion as the first move.

I disagree heavily. Two high usage guards who are elite offensively but bad defensively, mixed with zero other great/all star caliber players and mediocre group of role players can’t get it done.

The team Dirk was surrounded with were great veteran role players that all provided something different plus they had an elite defensive center. That era of teams was also the real start of the super team. Since that season, the champion has been basically a superteam or with 3 HOFers/all stars with a few exceptions. That same Dallas team would have lost to the Heat a year or two later when they finally played up to their potential.

True and I do actually have receipts and quotes to back up what I say, so it’s futile lol
