The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

[HIM]

Luka is shooting 39% from the field and 22% from 3 these playoffs.

Would you rather have Jalen Brunson or Luka as of today?

Would you rather have a Nissan or McClaren as of today?

All these series are really lopsided and already have clear cut winners. Except Indiana-NY.

The lack of respect for Brunson is wild, which is why the Knicks were able to acquire him at a bargain. Only time will tell, but if he maintains this level of performance, there are only a few players in the league you would rank above him.

 

[Public Enemy]

Brunson is incredible. The angles, the timing, the consistency. Bball Breakdown’s look at how he’s jumping early off one foot was instructive too, to show how he’s getting trailing defenders to foul him.

Just super impressive. All that and a lefty.

But its tough for the Iverson’s, IT’s and other skilled but smaller guys to maintain that for years and be successful in the playoffs. Love seeing him ball though.

TTFU. Shoutout to the Mavs fans who bought my tickets.

Where did you sit guy? Is that 102? Or like 112? My seasons used be in 102 right by the Thunder girls and on the end like they were my personal entertainment. Guess it could be 109ish or 119 range also, cant make out where the benches are to orient

Hmu I may pull up Thursday. I wont make it weird, ask a-friend storm2006 P proshares

I did take a quick peak at prices when i was leaving my daughter’s gymnastics a d they were wylin. $200 club tickets in the LT sections were fine, but tacking $150 on fees to a $200 ticket is criminal.

MY SGA > Luka takes getting replayed if Dallas gets bounced

 

[addict4sneakers]

Derrick white has to chill. He’s well on his way to being finals MVP. Not acceptable

 

[frshstunna]

The wolves and thunder are legit…I don’t think that “lakers are the 2nd best team” bs holds up

According to Bill Simmons your titles are fluky if you can't defend them or if you don't go on a long run afterwards. The last five NBA champions have been fugazi in his eyes

As a promoter of fluky ring talk. This is nasty.

The only fluke so far is 2022

Did he have any thoughts about 2008?

 

[pmatic]

Only recent champion I side-eye are probably the 2021 Bucks, but a championship is a championship.

Why do the Bucks get a side eye and not GS?

This strain of discourse is legit worse than MJ vs Bron vol.127374759505739

There's never been a title won without luck and good fortune.

Trying to invalidate any one is a fools errand when the reasoning for doing so could easily be flipped and used in damn near every instance with the same merit.

 

[WASHED KING]

Lebron doesn't have any fluky championships.

In fact his 2016 and 2020 have difficulty multipliers. Bron winning rings on HOF and other players winning chips on Rookie mode.

This same argument used to be made on here to downplay the Spurs championships.

 

[pums]

The bubble lakers and the nuggets last year as much as i hate to admit it . Were elite the whole year it wasn’t like it was some sort of fluke.

I barely paid any attention LAC vs DAL, I was consumed by my own series.

But this is crazyyyy inefficient by Luka. Something has to be up. I can’t believe these are his numbers.
