The Official NBA Season Thread: I’m like Jayson Tatum in the Olympics I'm not playing

Funny thing is there’s an underground tunnel in Staples that leads to Microsoft theater to JW Mariott. Celebs take it all the time. Him and Ja couldve easily ducked the trolling

Reading all this Brooks slander

Seeing all the Poole slander

You will not hear no excuses from me.

Speaking it into existence - Sixers in 7

Embiid might be the regular season MVP but due to size or bad luck, his career in the playoffs has been elusive.

 

[noblekane]

Get these jokes off now. Grizz going to be around a long time

Bye to all those deficient players we had this year.

Can’t believe 40% of our rotation was gone and that old *** team was able to stay healthy . Now, next round somebody going to catch a stray and be out for the season

excuses and hate

this is not how you lose with grace

 

[Based Jesus]

If only Embiid could cry his way to the finals the same way he cried for his MVP

 

[lovehateself]

This fool is really wearing a purse

He’s a free agent

Theyve tried dealing him tho

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

I don't know why teams/media have been making it seem like a knee sprain is a minor injury. More likely Embiid misses the series than plays by game 3

I know..I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't get picked up by a contender

 

[tay1]

Might go down as an all time bet-on-yourself fail.

Up there with Schroder

bhzmafia14 - is it true Brooks can still take the 4 year/$65 million deal from the Grizz?

Dillon lost himself a lot of money in the offseason

He has until July 1 to sign an extension, or he'll be a free agent.

I've long thought that Denver had zero chance against Phoenix, it's absolute horrible defensive matchup for Jokic, and adding KD obviously makes that worse.

but I think the suns lack of depth and continuity, and the lack of 3 point attempts I think gives the Nuggers a real shot.

The only path to victory is the Nuggets out scoring them, and to do that they will need an all time performance from Jokic,
he either has to vaporize Ayton and/or destroy them with the two man game with Murray.

but he doesn't look quite right, his touch is off with that wrist injury
and Ayton has done a pretty good job on him historically.

they also gotta out math them with 3 point volume, and play at a fast past, especially at altitude.

as much as im rooting for Jokic I gotta go Suns in 6.

 

[toneboi76]

Who attempts to guard kd?
I think they have enough bodies to play physical, if allowed.

Aaron Gordon. Think he will do an ok job. He has the strength and athleticism if the refs let him play

He better take it. Can’t see anyone offering him a better deal after the playoffs he just had.

That’s what I’m thinking. KCP starts in Booker.

May not really matter much who starts on whom because I assume the Suns are going to spam pick-and-roll action and try to put Jokic in everything.
