ATL - 2021-22 Regular Season Begins

Durant has had a lot of those random, fake tough guy moments ever since he left OKC. There's some degree of emotional immaturity in play for sure (see: basically his entire social media presence).

Been some strange happenings in the league so far and Indiana putting up 100 midway through the 3rd on the Spurs might be the strangest.

Kevin Durant is the best offensive player in the league and one of the best scorers the league has had.

Kevin Durant is a bitchboy.

Both statements are true

The Celtics are a mess. They were up 94-75 at home against the Bulls with 2:53 left in the 3rd. Chicago outscored them 53-20 the rest of the way to win by 14.

The Bulls are 6-1 with their one loss being by 1 point.

The Celtics just blew another game. It’s a **** show in Boston.

I posted when they released them, but that Bulls season over was easy money. 37 more wins and it hits. That’s a franchise that will burn themselves to get a higher seed, and honestly their fans deserve it. It’s nice to see the Bulls be feisty again.

Wolves at home down by 8 to the Magic with 5 minutes to go.

The Wolves looking solid and beating the Bucks in Milwaukee, then losing to at home to the Magic 5 days later is the Wolves in a nutshell over the last 3 seasons.

Wolves commentator on Franz Wagner: He's so much better than his brother

I saw that so when does that excuse stop with the bucks. Other teams are winning that are shorthanded.

Bucks beat all 3 teams if they didnt shoot enough bricks to build a small city bottom line they have been shooting like absolute garbage thats why they are losing

How bad must Jalen Smith be to be drafted 10th overall and not even get his third year option picked up? Yikes.

Worse than Thon, it seems.

Tatum and brown both settle for pull up jumpers way too often, brown averages like 2 assists, Tatum is around 4 which is terrible for guys who have 30+ usage rate. Both rarely gets to the ft line which is why their scoring is inconsistent. Tatum is also a very mediocre finisher at the rim for a big wing. While Tatum is a solid on ball and team defender, brown gets lost all the time and is still a big weakness of his.

I would ride this year out and try to get a Ricky Rubio type for them next year, somebody who can run the offense, set them up for easier shots and also doesn’t need many attempts. If that doesn’t work I would ship out brown because I think Tatum is a better overall player and stays healthy more often. Talent is still king in this league but fit is very important, their skills and weaknesses overlap too much and you can’t just keep watching two guys cross hesi into difficult jumpers forever.

I think one of my predictions this season was Stevens is back as coach at some point.

OKCs rebuild looking really good to me. SGA is a stud, Giddey looks like a perfect complimentary player with room for much more. Dort and Bazley are nice pieces and their heading towards another top 5 pick with tons of assets. It would take some Elton Brand type of moves to ruin this.

It pains me to say I like another Aussie in the league. Giddey is cool.

It's depressing to think how awesome a Giannis-OG front court would be, and how easily attainable it was.
