NBA Thread 2020-21 Season

Gee I hope Lebron’s shoulder is ok!

 

[NineOneSeven]

Got chippy of course but intense Suns lakers game. Booker was great so was Ayton.

davis needs to get it together for them, badly.

 

[samspann1]

I come in peace.

 

[Alsacs]

Lakers played poorly this series is still theirs IMO.
Phoenix needs Ayton to have any chance though. He won’t go 10 for 11 and 15 rebounds that easily again.

Caruso does some chippy stuff that doesn’t get called.

 

[Alsacs]

The NBA didn’t suspend LeBron for violating the Covid protocol but my Lakers fan friends want Ayton suspended for one foot on the court.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I paused my YouTubeTV and it started yesterday and now I don't have a legal way to watch the playoffs, so I played that pretty well.

Lmao no way

Trae Young is a floppy, 75 pound bitch.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Great game, man. Some huge shots late.

 

[upperdeck]

what has he done to get all these phantom calls in a game..

Going through life being that ugly is as impressive as anything I’ve ever seen on a basketball court

 

[NineOneSeven]

Shocked Gibson passed that out but rose classic floater

 

[NineOneSeven]

Frank?? He hadn’t played since he got like ten seconds in the 2Q!

 

[UpstateSM]

Trae has been a gd walking bucket and a great passer since Oklahoma. Love watching him play.

Flopping stuff doesn’t bother me. Imo, the issue isn’t the egregious flopping it’s the way the nba is officiated. Dudes wouldn’t do it if the refs didn’t stink.

Fans are awesome. As a casual at most nba guy until the yoffs having normal arenas makes it way more enjoyable.

 

[samspann1]

Ingles is incredibly annoying

Ingles is incredibly annoying

It's a part of his game.

 

[samspann1]

It's a part of his game.

He seems to get a lot of leeway from the refs, especially being a plug

 

[OrangeDW]

Davis/Drummond doesn’t work at all. If we want to go big, it should be Gasol. He can pass. The offense works better. Drummond is just in AD’s way.

Otherwise, go Davis/Harrell. Vogel needs to make the move.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Doncic big boys Scrubazz Beverly and tells him about it. Love it.

Is Luka this generation’s Bird? Trash talking white guy that is underrated because he is white, and maybe a little slow afoot.

I don't think Luka is underrated at all. He's already discussed as a top 5 player in the league, pretty much where he belongs. He whines too much to the refs, IMO but many do these days but he's probably top 3 in the NBA there. He was also preseason best odds for league MVP.

He doesn't have a ton of help and KP is always hurt as well. He could be best in the league very soon but he gets a ton of hype as well and would never consider him underrated after 3 years in NBA.

Yeah, and Bird wasn’t underrated either lol.

 

[Eric15]

If Steph wins MVP it would be only the second time in league history a player on a non-playoff team won it. (Kareem 1976)

If you asked people for top 10 all time, Bird is way, way down the list, for lots of folks

Charles Barkley thinks he was better than Bird...Bird is underrated.

When he was playing he was considered the best or second best player for most of his career. He’s a co-headliner of an entire era.

Probably the first decade or so after retiring most had him top 5.

I think most would still have him top 10. There’s been a lot of guys. That top 10 just gets tougher to crack as time goes on.

I think Dr. J is a guy who has become underrated from where he used to be placed.
