Around the NBA - the sharp end of the playoffs - Randle snubbed for All NBA

[EricAnderson]

I think its the East team in 5 or 6 in the finals. They look so much better than Warriors. Heat beat Hawks, Sixers and Celtics Boston beat Nets, Bucks and Heat respectively. Warriors path? - one man show scrub team Denver, babies grizzlies and another one man show scrub team Dallas.

I don’t agree

Nets had issues and we’re a clusterf1ck all year, Bucks without Middleton have a struggle offense and are as bad as Miami in the halfcourt.

Hawks stink and Embiid getting hurt changed that whole series

[Jalen Bluntson]

Yes their path was easier, but they haven't struggled with any of those weaker teams. They Mopped the floor with them.

If they struggled against them, it might be an indication of being inferior than the east's best.

I am pulling for the Celts/Heat to beat the Warriors, but it will not be easy. If anything, it's a 7-game series.

No way do I want either team from the east to win it. Warriors all day every day and twice on Sunday!

The Warriors will most likely win, but Curry has won enough.

I want to see some new champs but keep the crown on the east

No way. I lived through the times the Knicks were actually a very good franchise. There hasn't been a rivalry of any substance in a long time but...no. CHI/MIA/BOS/IND can all eat donkey balls. The Nets too! No way will I ever want any of those teams to win a title before us. Ever. I guess you can add the Hawks to that list now too. East coast West coast rap wars? Man...I grew up listening to rap from the beginning. I won't have that debate. It's a different world. NY will always win that battle to me. I ran in circles with Rakim and Biz and MC Shan. EPMD. De La Soul. Among others. 80s rap will always be my favorite. West Coast didn't make too much noise until the late 80s. Some of the posters here weren't even alive then.

We gotta bluff the Mavs into maxing Brunson. Just call up Brunson and tell him to use the Knicks in order to drive Cuban’s price up

True. I feel you.

CHI/MIA/BOS have already won a bunch of NBA titles between the 3 of them, so if they win one again it isn't revolutionary.

IND will prob never win one

But those Nets though...they really curdle my blood. May they NEVER win an NBA title...EVER.

CHI was winning during those years. Never want to see them win another without MJ. MIA didn't win until after the Knicks had fallen off and it was the superteam BS that won most of them. BOS is a different story. Top of the league winning wise but...since those years...not so many titles. Fuq them too. Indiana has been better than us as a team since then but... yeah...no real threat. Still on the list...even reg season games I hate losing to these teams.

The Nets we're mostly trash forever but...the early 2000s teams and this BKN trash...fuq them forever too!!

The Hawks... it's really just Pubescalp that I don't like. Fuq that dude.

If the Nets are gonna blow it up.. do yall see an OKC Thunder KD reunion? They have crazy picks and trade exceptions

#2 4 additional 1sts for KD and Kyrie as they seem to be a package deal rn lol

Kyrie
SGA
Giddey
KD
???

League loves a coming home redemption story.

Nets get off major potential albatross contracts in Kyrie and media headaches to build around Ben/Chet and picks lol
KD only real chance to save his legacy imo

Idk maybe im tripping but I see it.

Why would okc even want both of them… maybe a KD reunion but even that seems like a poor fit given how young that team is. Plus SGA and maybe giddey both probably have to be included in the trade any way

I mean they have like 19 Picks to trade over the next 5 years. Ultimately, theres a number of picks that will allow them to keep SGA and Giddey lol

Also, it would be KD who sparks this type of trade. Nets have shown reluctance to extend Kyrie for the max and KD sees the writing on the wall in Brooklyn if they dont resign him as they wont be able to make up for his absence because they are capped out.

Brooklyn might just wanna pull the plug on the whole thing and recoup their loses seeing as how its been a disaster so far and a max extension for Kyrie along with KD and bens max contracts is luxury tax hell for am owner who's already losing money on his 5 billion dollar investment...

And for whatever reason KD looks at Kyrie as his running-mate, so its a packaged deal. Brooklyn gets picks and major cap relief and a top 2 prospect this year while OKC Keeps their core and adds hofers, Maybe Giddey has to be moved as well but I think KD/OKC would demand SGA not be included in any deal. And depending on what they send they can still field for a quality big.

OKC might be tripping to even do this but what are the odds any of these picks translate into a KD or Kyrie level talent? Also they'd likely still have 10+ picks to work with in the future.

Which is why they won’t. These guys didn’t even come close to winning in bk.. and Durant is probably on borrowed time as far as being elite, and Kyrie i don’t even have to say anything about.. it speaks for itself.. and again the thunder are so far away from winning why would KD even want to be traded there. I also don’t see why the Thunder would want these guys. If they ever make a splash trade for a star it will be for one under the age of 30

[Clyde_Style]

He is a follower, not a leader. His mother tells him what to do and Flatso (Kyrie) also tells him what to do. He is not strong minded and can't assess situations well, on his own. Just compare how Giannis, Lebron, Steph, Tatum, and others help their teams to do better and make great in-game and long-term decisions. Look how badly KD does at that. In fact, he still believes he can be the reason a team wins the chip. Na ah.

Of course, he's an extremely talented player, but as Galvation said, he's dumb.

+1 for Flatso

As I explained in a previous post, yes -- Flatso is Flat Shaming Kyrie.

+1 for Flat Shaming

We can try but it’s tough to even bluff when we don’t have cap space.

Lol whoever thinks anyone is beating the warriors.

They're not even playing good and they still ran thru everyone with ease. Once Poole started playing at this level it was a wrap

The funny thing is they far from a perfect team or one of the best but they have 3 guys that can score 30+ on any given night, in the same game...

Yeah, they like to fall into the trap-game mentality because many times it doesn't seem like they are always dialed in, but when they are, watch out.

And the crazy thing is, they still have a player by the name of Kuminga that barely plays that would start on over 50% of the teams in the league, but their roster is so deep.

What a "problem" to have.
