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

[Based Jesus]

Fake humility >>>>

Only think fake was him including KD and Embiid

Ja would've said yes

He would've, that's the problem I like Ja, he's electric, I don't want the day to come where the turn happens on him cuz he couldn't fake some humility too

On top of the fact that Embiid & Jokic are the only bigs I’m paying 9 figures to play drop defense.

Even worse is this guy doesn’t block shots or take charges.

Domas is my Lithuanian brother, and I love watching him play, but this is factual.

Again, I'm rooting for them though.

Well I come from the theory that your 2 best players need to be able to create offense and mismatches for each other. I understand do whatever you need to do to improve your team but my turn your turn is going to have a cap on it. Word to last years Celtics. Word to these clippers when Kawhi plays.

Staggering means nothing come playoff time. DJM shooting 31% on spot ups this year. The jury is going to be out on that move though it does look good now.

Kings should be in position to be competing for HC in 2 years because there are 4 teams right now already teetering and are old.

The Trae point was less about DJM specifically and more about I understand getting another guy who can dribble & create at an all-star level to alleviate 1 guy controlling every single thing on the perimeter. 1 guy doing everything on the perimeter is just as unsuccessful as the your turn, my turn that you described.

And if we’re talking about the playoffs, I think Sabonis will be exponentially more detrimental to the Kings chances in that environment than Haliburton.

I would’ve kept Haliburton and used some of that Huerter powder on defensively versatile big men.

I actually prefer him how he is tbh.

It's refreshing. The turn happened already when they faced GS IMO.

"the turn" on Ja is only on NT because he became the best PG in the league.

That and they gave the Dubs their toughest series out West instead of just rolling over

Ja Morant isnt better than Steph Curry

 

[WASHED KING]

Ja Morant isnt better than Steph Curry

At shooting, yes you're correct.

 

[Moheezy]

I’m also a kings non-believer. Gotta see them do it over 82 games

They started off hot last year as well then they fell to their old ways.

[toneboi76]

Had to make sure this was real. KD outta line

 

[ballinsam23]

KD has had it. Guy put himself in that situation. Oh well.

 

[antidope]

Fire up the trade machine.

Also... Kevin Durant really left playing with Steph Curry for this.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

To be fair to Kyrie.

 

[pmatic]

“Look at our starting lineup. Edmond Sumner, Royce O’Neale, Joe Harris, [Nic] Claxton and me. It’s not disrespect, but what are you expecting from that group? Durant asked of B/R. “You expect us to win because I’m out there. So if you’re watching from that lens, you’re expecting us to play well because No. 7 is out there.

I don't mind it much either. You're supposed to be arrogant when you're young. But you think the GSW series was the turn?

It was mostly positive coverage of a promising young team. Wait until they have some more playoff disappointments first.

I give it a good 3-4 years before people get tired of the antics not coming with wins if they somehow don't mature at all in that time. No one's gonna care they're young anymore. Especially when you're black.

 

[8pm at msg]

I prefer this Durant to the super humble “Servant” bs to be honest.

I mean yeah he just dumped all over his teammates but at least he know exactly what he’s thinking.

With that being said he did this to himself lol.

 

[getback]

Standings say otherwise

I guess Dame must be better than both of them then.
