The Official NBA Season Thread: Season Starts Now

[freeze]

Doc and Sam Cassell gotta come up with something

Dont feel like watching Miami and Boston brick threes and flop for 7 games

Boston retiring Miami in 4. Heat don't have enough scoring.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

This is for Lakers/Nuggets right?

Yeah

From 2015-20 James Harden was as good as any player in the league. His peaks were just as good, if not better, than Kobe's.

He was supposed to level up but never took that step as a playoff performer.

Harden showed us who he was years ago. Let’s focus on Embiid

Super fraud

Rick? Don’t think IQ has his eyes set on the coaching staff sitting behind the players in games.

Wholeheartedly disagree that he needs more time behind JB. Going into his 4th szn now following a good 6th man award campaign just before.

He just needs the opportunity for more minutes than he can get now.

That was part of my hesitation, or back n forth, on JB before free agency last summer. Wanted to see Quick in a larger role & have room in the rotation for Deuce.

Now that he’s got a name for himself while still on the rookie contract is a big+ for the team right now.

My bad, I meant Jalen Quickly ain't ready to be a winning starting pt guard but someone can give him a bag and minutes to see what happens.

Like some people starting to believe in Julius Randle again this season.

It was crazy.

From Harden, Embiid, Julius, etc. It just clouds too much.

I get Embiid. Still felt like he had a moment to show everyone different. Harden is Harden at this point in his career and age

But for Embiid this isn't a situation where he played great but the team failed around him (people will push narratives in that nature) but he himself didn't show up.

I look at someone like Sabonis. Great regular season player this year. I did not think he would look that bad in a playoff setting. I'll just come in with a different expectation for the playoff version him until he shows otherwise. Nothing wrong with that. He still deserved his regular season award.

Are we just playing musical chairs now? Is this just for a rebuilding job and then they hire a better basketball mind when they’re ready to compete?

At least Wavy has good taste in Music, boots, and Power Characters.

Doc needs to go ahead let it fly in the postgame.

“These mf’s don’t care about me. Knew they was gonna fire my *** and laid down and died on me. I don’t even wanna come back. Can’t win with em.

Apologies are in order

**** my regular season expectations have changed. If he’s still trying to score and his efficiency hasn’t gone up, it’s a waste

It really depends on their direction. Are they rebuilding? are they trying to compete? The roster construction doesn't give an indication which direction they are going for but this offseason may force Masai to choose.

The coaching options should be affected by this.

 

[dasitmane]

Do they even have cap space? Or please tell me they sign and trade Paul and sixers retain doc for another year

 

[noblekane]

Why the **** is Glenn still employed today

seriously he shoulda been fired a minute after they lost

 

[pmatic]

Harden can opt into his player option then get a trade to the Suns for CP.

 

[dacomeup]

The thing that I think people were missing about Monty is that it sounds like he was getting fired regardless. James Jones might not survive either. He wants his guys in there.

 

[addict4sneakers]

EYE believe the locker room was broken and then became divided between young and old.

 

[elpablo21]

Might have to get my guy Poole out of there and to a safe space

 

[dacomeup]

I def think I was a Harden > Kobe guy. Not my best moment
