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

[osh kosh bosh]

Isiah Thomas is 400 million miles away from this conversation.

Mike Brown had a great year but I had some questions about yesterday:

Why not match up Mitchell’s minutes with Curry? Davis did an ok job in game 6 but he was getting TORCHED all game yesterday. Should’ve let Davion harass him all game long.

Why not use Lyles/Murray front court more often? Sabonis was getting killed by Looney anyway. I’d rather go down with the pairing that gives me a chance to win.

I know Steph gets the argument for best PG ever, but I mean is he even a real PG? More a combo guard if anything. Semantics I guess though.

Also the same points people are using for the Lakers winning will be the same points they used when they lose.

 

[antidope]

There’s zero chance I’m going to be able to keep up with this thread with this Lakers/Warriors serious. Y’all are INSANE

Just gonna watch and give credit where its due should the Lakers win

 

[wavycrocket]

Isiah Thomas though

Y’all were up 10-9 on the cards so far- don’t ruin it

What have warriors fans said that is so bad?

I think he showed yesterday that he can still be on ball and dominate… he’s done this many times before

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Concrete evidence- I think warriors win the series but the things being brought to the table so far I feel like it’s reaching

There's a whole season missing in there

Who said i was backing kawhi?

I see embiid. I inserted myself into the convo - embiid been pretty damn healthy. Id say he missed more time recent years due to covid protocols. He may be hurt but he still plays through the injuries 80% of the time

EYE dont care bout kawhi. I posted his stats just to prove embiid played more and shouldn't be compared to him

Between AD/Embiid the last 3 years they cant be compared. One is Street Clothes and one is not. Simple

 

[WASHED KING]

Would we be even saying Steph is better than Isiah Thomas if KD didn't carry them to two rings in three years?

Nope, sick stuff.

 

[Raji Lowenthal]

Steph vs Bron is the only series that counts at this point. Rest of the playoffs are just seat fillers...

 

[sohi 23]

Steph is obviously better than Zeke.
Come on now

 

[finessence]

Guess the underrating of Magic's legacy has begun...



Folks are really letting prisoner of the moment syndrome minimize what he accomplished in 13 seasons

9 finals appearences in 13 seasons, 5 rings, 3x MVP and FMVP's, 12x AS's,9x All-NBA 1st team, 4x assist leader,0x missing the playoffs

His resume is legit unmatchable with any PG

And he retired prematurely. Magic retired at 31 years old

Steph #2

These conversations really open my eyes. Steph Curry is under rated still.

 

[WASHED KING]

If steph better than Magic, Bron for sure better than Mike.

Can't have it both ways.

 

[picasso swerve]

If steph better than Magic, Bron for sure better than Mike.

Can't have it both ways.

Bron the best basketball player ever, Mike the greatest though.

6-0 with 2 3 peats. Yeah, no question.

Nah Dame gotta get outta there ASAP

He had many moments and seconds to second third fourth fifth and sixth guess his answer before committing

Not that there’s anything wrong with his answer…

 

[don ramon]

E40’s music is trash

i disagree with just about everything you type on here, but beginning to find some common ground

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Between AD/Embiid the last 3 years they cant be compared. One is Street Clothes and one is not. Simple

The guy who played 266 more career games is street clothes and the other isn't. I'm clocking out for the rest of the day

 

[Fozz]

Warriors/Lakers will be another close series. Lakers always plays well against the W's.

Still have the W's winning though. After yesterday, I expect Steph and the W's to be ready to take care of business.

 

[tennhouse2]

Bro yall are trippin! From TX and just bought "my ghetto report card" on vinyl. E-40 is an Absolute legend

 

[xxpizzo]

You doing the whole career. Yes

EYE am clearly and i made it pretty obvious i was talking bout past 3 years

His nickname clearly came recently dont act dumb

 

[rolaholic]

And he retired prematurely. Magic retired at 31 years old

Steph #2

Was also All-Time great right out of the gate, didn't take him a few years to find his footing in the league.

Can't see any PG ever matching his career, even Steph.

Calling him the best shooter or arguing that he's the best scorer ever, that's more than fair with me.

Just can't get behind folks calling him the best PG though when Magic exists and did more at the position in less time

Dawg 15+ pages of hot takes and game doesn't start for another 32 hours.
