2020-21 Around the NBA Thread

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Every Lakers fan thinks that. I hear from Laker fans now about how Booker is going to force his way out of Phoenix to be a Laker cause he looked up to Kobe.

It's funny because the logical way to look at is that he would probably want to be the cornerstone of 1 franchise like Kobe was. Jumping ship for the Lakers actually makes him a lot less like Kobe and more like a LeBron or KD type.

Yup - if he truly wants to "Be Legendary", the best way would be to lead a franchise that has never won a title to multiple...

As much as I loved to hate Kobe....please lord let Booker turn more into Kobe than Kevin Durrant. IMO Durrant is one of the mentally fragile little whiney babies in league history. Outstanding talent...but the mental toughness and competitive drive of a walmart bag.

Gotta hunch that Brad Stephens knows a good coach when he sees one.

One center on that roster. Draymond is not a center.

Yeah, he doesn't seem to fit unless they needed a player with more bulk. Also I think you mentioned, this team doesn't have a lot of size. It's built for speed.

Is Kevin Love there as some sort of coal mine canary??

"Let Kevin go in first and then check his temp" we don't want to lose any players

Lol watching the Bucks/hawks game they showed Suns and Clippers with clippers leading the series 2-0

 

[Proximo]

I know I am biased, but I really feel both of these teams are clearly inferior to the suns and clippers.

they are both taking bad shots and playing weak defense.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bobby Portis would look good in a Suns uniform. He is likely to use his player option for next season.

He is only scheduled to make $3,804,150.

He'll take a tumble on you
Roll you like you were dice
Until you come out blue
He's got Bobby Portis eyes

That's half his value.

This game looks like a regular season game.

I think we're better than they are, not sure about "clearly" though. Hope you're right.

Agreed. They both have players that can cause trouble. Giannis, Middleton, Holiday…
Young is so legit and the Hawks have a collection of role players that seem to be playing at very high levels…
The Suns are better (not sure about the Kawhi-less Clippers), but I don’t see that delta being anything so significant that we should be thinking about an easy road to the ring!

Trae is a cheat code

 

[Cheesebeef]

Yeah... I’d rather play the Bucks. The Hawks have a better possibility of catching fire. This Bucks team really doesn’t impress me.

I think we’d win either series, but the Hawks might scare me into a couple heart attacks before we raised that trophy.

I agree. But I think hawks will win.

 

[Hoop Head]

If we face the Hawks then we should sent in Frank to run over Trae Young early on in game 1. He's the only.guy who scares me on that team. Eliminate him and the Hawks are done.

 

[GatorAZ]

I’d still be shocked if the Bucks don’t win this series.
