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

[Maximus Meridius]

Memphis was down 2-1, in the games Ja was playing . The other game they won, was by 50. And Ja wasn’t playing. And the primary Defender on Ja (Gpii) got hurt for the entire series in game 2.

This is so stupid. Because y’all know it’s not true. And how the season ended, shouldn’t leave any doubt.

But get it off. I peep it

Stephgod lost a game by 50 huh...

So the grizz ain't have a better record last year and currently? Ja ain't finish higher in the MVP voting and most likely will again this year?

How does that happen when Steph got 2 HOFer's. Your own words Klay is still the same and will soon drop a 60 game. Jordan Poole is the new Ginobili. It pains ya'll to see your man get passed but it happens all the time in sports. Way the game goes.

Sounds like KD just trying to let everyone know he's having fun, doing all he can but he can't help that his team sucks so don't kill him. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Man ain't having fun. One thing we know about KD is he's a liar.

He's the definition of this

KD really went full

Publicly

Never a dull moment/day within the association

Man had the nerve to say the environment around Bron is toxic. Bron got had his issues but he ain't never led a circus like what they got in Brooklyn.

I still can't believe yall thought I was lying when I said I was ok with not having Kyrie and KD. That don't even sound crazy coming from me

Folks legit had them walking to a title for a good 2 years straight

Even after Milwaukee won they were annointed the preseason title favorite immediately the next season, chemistry and defense be damned

Let's be fair, they looked like a juggernaut when healthy and well-minded. Took a vaccine shot to derail them.

The KD Kyrie Harden combo was gonna moonwalk to the Finals before the nonsense

If this is the case why are they just slighly over .500 with KD and Kyrie playing together compared to something like .680 with KD but no Kyrie in the lineup?

They was gonna moonwalk past Milwaukee until Jim hammy fell off the bone

The real goof was trading Jarrett Allen. They were rolling before that

So a 16 game sample size, of that big 3 together, was enough to be definitive about them rolling through the East?

 

[QU!K]

DISSENSION

There's a "pushin p" pun to be made about your avy.

I'll let a more creative mind get it off.

You could say Bucks still win but it did go 7 without them all healthy so idk. They def cook the Hawks

I'd say they beat Phoenix too

I can't say juggernaut when they still didn't play defense that year. People fell in love with that sample size once Harden got there.

Sheesh.

Thread jumped damn near 30 pages.

Is there anything worth me going byke to check on?

 

[rolaholic]

They were a much better team by every metric with Beard and KD than they are with Kyrie and KD. Who knows how it would've fit together in the postseason though with all 3.

Beard even had a terrific record with KD out, even better than wothout Kyrie which was also great, when he was holding it down himself.

Do yourself a favor and just don't.

Trading all their depth gave them a small margin of error if somebody gets hurt. They basically had to play perfect offense to win. They went 35-37 with Kyrie only playing 20 games and no KD. Woulda kept Atkinson too.
