2020-21 Around the NBA Thread

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Having the media talk about which player is better must be frustrating.

Durant is an idiot

Durant is an idiot

Something we can all agree on.

 

[GatorAZ]

Jay Williams is indeed a causal/terrible analyst.

 

[JCSunsfan]

Something we can all agree on.

All of us, yes.

For the rest of his life, he will not live down joining the Warriors and taking the easy way to a championship.

 

[GatorAZ]

I don’t blame from getting out from under Westbrook but you can’t join the squad that beats you. That said he’s still going down as a top-15 or so player all time. Strictly as a fan of the game he’s one of my favorites players ever to watch hoop.

I'm glad he's healthy again and yes he's fun to watch.

Seems to me like he's a better 3 point shooter in Brooklyn than he was with the Warriors. When they got rolling last night they were unguardable, and again man I wish the Warriors could get Joe Harris from the Nets that guy is just perfect for the Warriors. He's great in Brooklyn too but he'd be amazing in Oakland with teams worrying about Steph and Klay and Draymond in the middle kicking to him for open 3's.

Crazy thing is with Harden out they’d have their current playoff lineup plus Jarrett Allen at the 5 and Levert off the bench had they not made that trade. Nash and D’Antoni should get a lot of credit for making it gel as well as it has given the egos.

 

[Covert Rain]

I hate to say it but if Harden makes it back nobody is beating Brooklyn. That is the most stacked team in the NBA if everyone is healthy. Especially, with the reemergence of Griffin.

 

[Mainstreet]

I will post this here as well.

Report Nikola Jokic has won the NBA MVP.

The MVP announcement will be made during TNT pregame show tonight.

You'd think they would wait until game 3 with Jokic back in front of his home court fans. Should give Denver a reason to come out fired up.

That's a great idea but maybe the NBA wanted to be impartial with the announcement.

 

[Mainstreet]

Nikola Jokic will be eligible for super max in 2022 or 2023 offseason.

He’ll get presented with the trophy before game 3 in Denver.

Man, the jazz take live by the three die by the three to another level.

yeah they appear unbeatable, but they aren’t actually as good as millwaukee is making them look.

 

[GatorAZ]

BOOOOOOOOGIE

 

[sdscard4]

Jazz do nothing for me....I want them to beat LA only because I dont think they can hang with us.

 

[Mainstreet]

I think the Jazz are losing because of their uniform color. It's so unlike the Jazz.

 

[elindholm]

Before, or at halftime? Either way, it could be an advantage for the Suns. I haven't actually counted things up, but it seems to me that the home team often underperforms in Ceremony Games. It's as though it takes away from their concentration, while giving the visitors more motivation.

 

[95pro]

The jazz remain boring even in the playoffs.

clippers are so much better without Beverlys false hustle. It has given Reggie Jackson new life.

 

[95pro]

The Don is on fire


I wonder what percentages of PG drives are on the right and fadeaways on the left.

 

[Muggz]

Puppycock! We've got something for Brooklyn Harden or no. Just need to get there.

HARUMPH!

Right on cue. Jazz catching heat on here and they catch fire with a nice comeback.
