The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

[WASHED KING]

So what have I missed beyond addict4sneakers sons letting me down again?



How much have the Jordan stans been slandering Ant?

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Interesting that you find this problematic.

well i mean yah of course.
i'll always follow the evidence even if it leads in unpopular directions.

Word, Luka actually skilled and has a bag. Only move Bron got is the Le****You 3. Cant compare that human freight train to him.

imagine saying a guy w/ over 40k points has no bag.

The affect on the game is similar bro.

If you disagree that’s cool.

Ya’ll just have to stop calling him Harden -

That’s NEEDS to stop.

They are both incredible at passing and orchestrating offenses, but the physical differences are way too big for that to be my comp. LeBron at Luka’s age was also a good defender.

Don’t see anything wrong with calling Luka a Euro Bron.

Two prospects with insanely high expectations as teenagers who statistically match up and started dominating the league early.

People seem to forget Bron had to go to form a super team and still be a robin till he was 27 to win it all.

If Luka wins it all this year or next he’s ahead of the curve.

WASHED KING ain’t gonna like dis

I think Luka's body movement and playing style are closer to Harden, but the IQ and mentality leans more LeBron.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Luka got more onions than harden for sure

 

[headdetective]

I hate this series and I hate ABC broadcasted games.

 

[Mark Antony]

I hope some of the media in the new deal grab some old favorites.

Hali out with a hamstring injury. Wow, hamstring injuries. Who knew?!

Of course I’m not talking defensively or athletically.

Just their role and value on offense are that impactful to their team. They’re that good. Even tho they have completely different games.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Luka has way more variance than harden

Harden became mechanical in his play style and tendencies. Was trash to watch after a while

Luka will attempt to score in more ways and from different parts of the floor than harden

That’s just play style… if we talking the other stuff… that’s laughable

Comparison sucks tbh

Harden didn’t know how to pass the ball before. When D’Antoni came and told him “you’re going to average 10 assists or more” he laughed.

This Luka & Harden **** needs to stop.

Luka has been slinging it his whole life. (Pause)

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Celtics got the easiest cake walk to the finals

 

[allergic2broke]

Celtics going to cancun on the way to the finals.

 

[pmatic]

I'm gonna give this game 20 minutes before I switch to Fever-Aces.

You are lying. Harden been an elite passer since ASU/OKC.

 

[Coupé It]

System passer.

Not even close to being Luka’s level passing it.

 

[DeadsetAce]

ok, JT

 

[pmatic]

System passer.

Not even close to being Luka’s level passing it.

Luka better because he's like 6'8, but Harden is a top five passer since he came into the league.

Would say top five passers over the last 15 years are (no order) Bron, Luka, Harden, Jokic and then probably CP(?).

Might be too old for most on here, but Luka reminds me of magic and larry
