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

[ill steelo]

Zion’s defensive effort is down there with the worst we’ve seen from Bron/Trae/Harden. Nique laughing at him right now

With both him & Val playing big minutes I don’t know how they’re getting stops in the playoffs

Big pressure on everyone else

Luckily for them the other west teams all seem to be dealing with red flags as well

 

[Mister Meaner]

Marcus not too Smart on that play!

 

[ill steelo]

I’m fully expecting Kyrie to refuse

 

[lovehateself]

Only thing missing for Kyrie is a Dissertation requirement

I don’t think they’d let him back in the NBA otherwise. It really is a result of how he initially responded and continued to be defiant.

It’s like Kyrie did a crime.

My man just tweeted the wrong thing. Literal cancellation. He going out worse than Kanye.

Nobody forced him to publicize and anti-Semitic video on his social media channels. He could have already made it go away if took more accountability earlier. And he still has an opportunity to get back in the NBA.

Assuming he managed his money right, he still has 10s of millions of dollars. Maybe more.

If he’s effectively forced out of the NBA, I’m pretty confident he can make a ton of money playing basketball overseas (except maybe in Israel).

So is he really cancelled?

 

[toneboi76]

Lol they definitely treating Kyrie like a child now. Doubt he wears a Nets jersey again

The last requirement has me howling

Meet with dude who has questions of his own to determine "understanding"

 

[addict4sneakers]

Got that man doing MyCareer quests

 

[lawdog1]

To be clear, I think what the Nets are doing (have done) related to this Kyrie situation is dumb.

But Kyrie is not being treated like a criminal, nor is he a victim in this matter.

 

[pmatic]

Nick Richards probably the most improved player I've seen so far this season from last.

Like he's not a habitual line stepper. Maybe actions and consequences will make him consider stopping and thinking.

Scoot/Paolo
SGA/Chet
ZION/Wembanyama

It is written

Fixed

 

[picasso swerve]

Aint no way Qy is doing all of this. Dude just gonna demand a trade and go elsewhere.

Durant coudda had 5 rings but left for this.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Myrie gotta do more than miles bridges to get his job back

 

[lawdog1]

Antonio Daniels is so bad. Cannot listen to him.

Also, I’m out again. See you tomorrow. Maybe.

 

[elpablo21]

He's got a decent list of his own

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

Gon head and free my mans Rozier/Oubre/Hayward

 

[Mister Meaner]

Is it a Boston thing to have ****** braids? JB took Vonleh to his hair shorty.

He talks in all caps

 

[RustyShackleford]

I think Kyrie is a bonehead for not apologizing from the jump and avoiding all this mess.

The list seems like a rather easy thing to accomplish given he already was willing to give the 500K

However, the Nets look ridiculous too at this point. You let Kyrie hijack your franchise for years. I have a feeling that Tsai wants to finally impose his will on Kyrie, and is taking this opportunity to do so.

Just buy him out and end this.

 

[D StaXX]

Got that man doing MyCareer quests

On the real though, those stupid *** quests are why I had to stop playing 2k.

His motor in college was elite. Sad to see
