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

What happened to standards man

Professional sports has little to no standards, and hasn’t for awhile. It’s a business—check your morals at the door. Not saying it’s right, but it is what it is. If you can produce on a field or court, somewhere there will be a place for you.

Big O taking work off his block and it was a b2b. Rookie

you can just say he got dominated by mitchell robinson

 

[rolaholic]

Ho hum

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

It was a terrible second half on Opening Night, last night's bad game and leaving early vs the Heat. Suns game wasn't bad, or great.

He was cooking Jokic in the first half

NBA don’t deserve Mark Jackson

What happened to standards man

hornets have a history of lowered expectations

i'm with mark jackson. i do think it was an attempt by the knicks to humiliate him for whatever reason. he has his critics, but i don't think the poor pr treatment is warranted

Peace to Mitch. I have nothing but the utmost respect for him after that Cleveland series

Mm hmm. Gonna reference this again, Jason Kidd. The actual time he got caught (who knows if he had abusing her before this) was in the middle of the season. He admitted to the abuse and he continued to play the rest of the season and the seasons going forward

This isn't some kind of new issue in sports and the NBA itself

Ya, but no one remembers that.

Let’s have the honest conversation on Austin Reaves.

I mean you guys turned him into a star.

 

[headdetective]

Another fraud

 

[getback]

Seems like AD will never live up to his full potential. Which is kinda crazy because he’s still a future hall of famer despite that. Injuries and mental lapses.

In the playoffs I trust Austin more than Lavine, DeRozan or whoever else they’ve been linked to

"It was only this bad game, that bad game, the other fine game, one bad half, & the one he left early"

They're 12 games in. That's like 40% of the season.

#FreeMarkJackson

I don’t even like Mark like that but if this is true that’s just real nasty man.

Someone in the Knicks organization definitely leaked that.

VERY up and down so far. I think he was getting his legs under him to start the season, but him and D'Lo do clash (particular with no Vando available). Offense has been adjusted this season, so he's struggling with his reads and turning the ball over crazy.

Was playing well the last two games off the bench before last night's stinker.

I was at a Richard’s Sporting Goods in El Segundo, CA last weekend and was within earshot of a father and son who were browsing the rack of Lakers jerseys. Kid was probably around 10.

Kid: “Whoa, they have Reaves!!!”
Dad: “Sweet!”

So AR has that going for him.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

He actually did have a better 2nd quarter than I thought. but yeah, he was invisible the rest of the game

Cooked Jokic in the first half is definitely incorrect though

 

[addict4sneakers]

Austin Reaves free throw rate been cut in half

Also need pmatic to stop blaming fatigue too.

How many has Randle had?

Why tho?

That Lavine playoff sample size is very light.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Ya, but no one remembers that.

That's because it didn't happen. He had a great 2nd quarter but there was no cooking of Jokic the entire 1st half

Your mistake is thinking Knicks fans are interested in defending Randle
