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

[ballinsam23]

Suns don’t even have any assets to add to their depth. Not sure who out there wants CP3 or Ayton. Maybe the Bulls?

 

[Blue Mamba]

Finally able to watch the celtics consistently aside from the finals .

I get why he’s better than Brown but he really doesn’t have a pet move to get something easy.

His playmaking, handles are all average at best for a number 1 guy.

Great shooter and defender but he needs to get stronger

Tatum has gotten stronger since coming into the league, but he just needs to be more aggressive. Seems like he’s scared to drive in for a dunk. His rookie year he dunked on Lebron in the playoffs and hasn’t done anything like that since. He’s bigger than a lot of guys but doesn’t use it to his advantage

 

[WASHED KING]

As long as the game is called correctly and fairly I'm good.

If the Lakers could make the playoffs would we even have the play-in?
It's 100% a league op to get them in the playoffs since they can't get themselves there.
Welfare queens weren't satisfied stealing PPP money so now they're stealing playoff spots too
Rewarding mediocrity

Lakers were the 7 seed they would've still been in.

Don't you have a funeral to prep for? While your team gets bounced by a play-in team

He has a consistency issue. Was 0-8 in the first quarter then 11-19 for the rest of the game.

He shot 13 FTs last night, all of which came from him going to the basket. Was plenty aggressive. Only one on the team that was tbh.

Had big dunks on Giannis, Jarrett Allen, and Goober this season

Ain’t it like 6am in California?

Time for that almond milk machiatto latte and some rollerblading at Venice Beach

Honestly they might as well trade everyone but Booker.

Phoenix about to become the Wizards of the west. FO goofed.

Looks like the same ol' Jim to me.

Need the

All the Jokic slander dead yet or y’all still tryna act goofy?

Hate to ya'll is not believing he's not the top player in the League, & admitting that he's still a defensive liability.

So yeah, it's still on & there's a certain unibrowed man in L.A who gonna turn the heat up on it by a lot

 

[xxpizzo]

Lets take a second and appreciate HIMBIIDS paint presence on defense

He legit has players SHOOK to drive the ball

In game 1 of the Sixers vs. Celtics series, the Celtics scored 66 points in the paint. Since Embiid's return in game 2, the Celtics have averaged 36.5 points in the paint per game.​

EYE remember when they said why even play him in game 2 Not only that than had the audacity to tell me he wasnt rusty his 1st game back.. oh and they said he was “Scared” of horford

This is a nasty narrative being pushed to blame KLUTCH Dray.

 

[worldbeefreeg]

Ayton has been the same guy he’s always been.

You saw the same thing when that Nate Oats Buffalo squad gave Zona the business in the first round of the tourney when he was in college.

Clockwork with him.

the lakers were the 7th seed.

in the old format that would get you in the playoffs instantly.

but now because the nba wants to make extra money they have the 7th and 8th seeds jump thru hoops to get in the playoffs

so then maybe the lakers earned that **** even more

LOOK AT THEM!!



Funny thing is a former Laker is your King & the best player ya'll had since Melo, & will also have you stuck in mediocrity for at least another 3

bron pulling a jordan, again, and buddying up to the competition

but cant really blame him, I wouldn’t want to get punched in the nuts, again

 

[NickFolarin]

Completely random, but Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has had the most quiet, yet quality NBA career I've seen seen recently

Start every game, get great minutes and no blame

[dacomeup]

Y’all really buying this Dray and Klutch **** or is it jokes? I can’t tell who really believes that this is swinging the series versus who is clowning
