Around the NBA Continued

[HopelessKnick]

Father time remains undefeated against aging superstars

thats 4 sure, but crazy thing is, that all of their stars are playing reeeeeally well and it doesn't result in wins.
Lebron, KD, Curry, AD, Booker....

Most of them are just scoring well but not doing much else.

This! Going to my own playing days....till the age of 30/31 I could still feel myself impacting the game in many ways other than defense, scoring but at some age you simply start to run out of motor and energy....

[MrDollarBills]

Morant has breathed life into that Grizz team. I hope he can keep his head on right. He's such a great player.

Same. Hopefully the time off made him realize how blessed he is and how much he has to offer the sport

[MrDollarBills]

twolves are legit, they have a stud in Ant and they have the best defense in the NBA. Gobert in the paint and Mcdaniels on the perimeter, just held the kings to 98 pts with a 12 pt road win without towns.

Gotta give KAT his flowers here too. Him deferring to Ant-Man, and buying in defensively has been a game changer for the Wolves.

The playoffs in the west this year will be must watch

You're right, but to be fair, LeBron, Curry and KD shouldn't be carrying an entire load for their teams at their respective ages.

I remember the days when this board claimed Memphis was better without him

Im still skeptical of that front court working long term. Embiid dropped 50 on them the other day. He kept hitting Gobert with the same move over and over

I agree with Curry...but I don't feel sorry for Lebron or Kd...both those guys have prime superstar players to run with who are shouldering their scoring burden. Lebron has AD , while KD has Booker (and Beal )when he gets back.

So while the media bashes us for not being "good enough" or "big enough" those teams(Lakers a&Suns) should not be getting a pass.

Their team leaders aren't doing the other things necessary to win. So in my opinion they also are not "good enough". Lebron has coasted in defense for the last 5 years ... And Durant ..who knows I don't really watch that team.

Man has anyone lost more trade value than Zach Lavine?

Kemba, Wall, Beal...

Yeah Joel did them dirty, but dude is an MVP level player. It doesn't matter who is defending him, when he's in that mode everyone is getting cooked

I look forward to Podcast P's next show so that he can give some insight into how Jason Tatum cooked him multiple times

Curry has it worse, but I can't feel sorry for him

that's true. but ultimately if they cant stop embiid/joker then that experiement has been a failure imo. i feel like that was the biggest purpose of them forming that front court

Yeah I don't but he can at least get pass since Klay has fallen off the cliff and they lack depth, the other two have fallen off and should receive some criticism. I don't want to hear none of this "they need some help" talk from ESPN.

Are u serious. For Minnesota fans (not me) this is like our renaissance - they were the Knicks of their division for the same past 2 decades.

He's had so much adversity in his life too. He deserves some flowers.

yeah its fair to be skeptical but they are certainly can at least macthup. Embiid dominates regardless of the matchup and I agree they paid a steep price for Gobert to at least contain those elite bigs. But Ant's jump and them having the #1 defensive rating I think should translate to the playoffs.
