NBA Thread 2020-21 Season

[Alsacs]

Kendrick Perkins and Jay Bilas combo my god ESPN wants to punish viewers.

 

[Briancuse]

Kendrick Perkins makes Dickie Simpkins listenable.

 

[OrangeDW]

Good look for Buffalo native Benny the Butcher tonight.

By the way, “Benny the Butcher” will be Benny Williams’ board nickname. I will not acknowledge anything else.

Jalen Suggs didn’t want to go to Toronto based on that reaction.

Jalen Suggs didn’t want to go to Toronto based on that reaction.

It's possible. It's also a possible way for Suggs to deflect the disappointment and show his character.
I am 50/50. He's a Minnsesota kid that went to Gonzaga -- it wouldn't seem the climate is something that would bother him like others

Either way nervous about Barnes. Will need to trust management on this one.

Might not bother him but he might prefer some better weather.

Man. Toronto would be one of my first choices to go to. Love that city.

It's a fun city. Orlando is not bad either.

 

[syrBossHogg]

Kendrick Perkins compared next years Lakers to the early 2010’s Heat omg.

Lakers don't even have their Ray Allen

Its pretty terrible.

 

[chugg21]

2 shockers so far at 4 and 6.

 

[Briancuse]

Its pretty terrible.

How so?

 

[OrangeDW]

No Florida for me.

NY, Brooklyn, Toronto, Charlotte, ATL, Philly, Denver, Chicago, Washington would be on my list off the top of my head. LA only for the Lakers, otherwise screw that time zone.

 

[chugg21]

How so?

Ever been there for a few days outside of Disney? I used to live in Tampa and Orlando was awful. Its way hotter because its inland, way more traffic and just has no culture or really any positives of any kind.

Yes i have. Disney is great though so much to do there. It does get hot I'll give you that.

I have to think its bottom 2/3 spots for a young, black millionaire. Oklahoma City likely worst.

 

[Alsacs]

Kings go Mitchell over Bouknight.
That is interesting.

There is so much to do down there. There are worse places to go.

 

[Alsacs]

Memphis could have gotten this guy at 17.
Wow

 

[jncuse]

Not exactly an inspiring list of the oldest top 10 picks in the last 20 years.

Rafael Araujo -- Caused me so much pain as a Raptor fan
Ekpe Udoh - I don't even think the guy has 3000 career minutes.
Wesley Johnson - He had a long enough career as a serviceable journeyman, but obviously was a reach at #3 in retrospect.

 

[OrangeDW]

OKC, Sacramento, Indiana, Utah, Phoenix would probably be the only ones I’d put below Orlando.

Though I’m giving a “it’s not that far from home” bias to Cleveland.

I guess it all depends on how much you like Disney.

I very much dislike it. Nightmare place for me other than popping into Disney Springs for a night for a concert or something.

Not surprising at all.

Bouknight sucks.
