The NBA Thread.

Killing his daughter is what more or less ended his campaign, but ya. Did everything right but doing the right thing.

 

Pretty much everybody in that show at least declared themselves king

 

I dunnt wunt it.

 

This Curry kid might work out.

 

Harden to the nets. Jesus, that roster is stupid good.

What was the trade that happened with Chris Paul a number of years back where the NBA stepped in and blocked it? Surely it couldn't have given a single team a better roster than what we are seeing here.

 

With Kyrie's current career trajectory, I do wonder if people will eventually look back on LeBron's title with the Cavs and consider it an even greater feat 10-20 years from now.

Around the time they won the title, everyone thought Kyrie could become a legitimate #1 on a lot of teams in the NBA. He couldn't make it work in Boston, and now he's struggling to make it work in Brooklyn despite having possibly the second best player in the league on his team.

I know you all say I look at everything through the lens of how it affects LeBron, and maybe I do, but Kyrie's stock was at its highest when he was teammates with LeBron on the Cavs, and it has continuously plummeted since he left.

 

Kyrie is a little [itch bay].

"And I had to address that. I had to answer that. That fueled me. That put me in a place where I wanted to come back and be myself again."

1. Nobody cares what you do during the regular season. No one questions whether you can play. The narrative is that you disappear in the playoffs, which you can’t disprove until we get to the playoffs.

2. Saying shit like this just shows how self conscious you are and how much you hear the chatter, which probably contributes to the problem itself. Just feels weak.

 

wait is that real?

 

It's real.

 

He looks like a Tyler Perry character

 

LeBron went for 46-8-6 last night, with 7/11 shooting from 3. Also heard a stat that he's had 15-5-5 in every single game this season. If I heard correctly, the only other person to ever do it was him 10 years ago.

He's gotta be the MVP at this point.

 

Hope so. Have $500 on him at +1500

 

Betting on him is gutsy. He's probably been deserving a number of times in his career where he hasn't gotten it, largely because people are fatigued. But there's really no way to deny what he's doing this season. He's got the simple stats, the advanced stats, the record, and pretty much everything else pointing his direction.

And, if it matters, he's in year 18 at age 36, on essentially no offseason, and has played in every single game. What he's doing this season is unprecedented.

Good. Wish they would stop doing the Anthem for all sports, to be perfectly honest.

 

It really has become a bit of a farce these days.

 

Why?

Not arguing, just curious to get your perspective.
