Just finished watching that sloppy but fun rockets/pistons game. Now i get to watch this super testy heat Lakers game. First time I've watched a game this season

[BallDontLie]

Gaaah this team is such a mess…. It’s just been so long since I’ve had to suffer a rebuild. Free Christian Wood.

Embrace it. The year we just had shai and a bunch of scraps we got from trading away our stars was a super fun year to watch

Ok the Mavs are a joke, I definitely give you that, but why you think he’s overrated?
Maybe it’s because I have like a european bound or something...but i think what he showed in his short time in the nba is impressive.

Are the Warriors for real this year? Don't call it a comeback but they are 12-2 as I write this, Steph has been godly, they've locked in defensively and they don't even have Klay back yet. Outside of them in the west there's the Jazz, who haven't looked exactly as good as last year. Nuggets, who've been great and when they get Murray back will be elite, but that might be a while away. Same with the Clippers when they get Kawhi back. Warriors are looking like easy finalists at this point in the year, barring an injury to Steph or whatever.

bucks beat bum ass lakers last night lets go

warriors are def a tier above everyone else, maybe bucks are on the same level with their 3 back

[DaleSr]

I'm waiting until January to identify any real trends

we are not on the same level as the warriors lol

i feel like watching the bucks my whole life, we're a "fail up" team. maybe its because of the years of abuse i've endured but i never feel like we are doing good in a basketball game. never have felt dominant or anything. just kind of bumbly and sometimes lucky and most of the time just Giannis putting us on his back.

yeah youre probably right, i threw them in since they did win the chip last season and are generally the same team. Losing tucker hurts yall defense tho

I'm personally loving the Clippers just chugging along non chalantly while the Lakers look like absolute ass

He's been great. A real multi tool out there. Although he missed the last game i think

[thebacker]

Jesus christ that game from steph last night was something else

[cky enthusiast]

are non sixers fans aware of how crazy tyrese maxey is playing yet or do i have to wait a few
more weeks

if i’m rich paul i’m gonna say simmo got polio or some shit because he’s running way out of leverage

[DaleSr]

Did you sixer bros see that article that came out a week or so ago about how Morey has some insane list of stars that he'll only trade Simmons for and he's viewing this as a multi year crisis?? Shit is fucked

[cky enthusiast]

i’m off ben simmons, i don’t care what he does or who wants him. whatever. our current PG is averaging like 25 in the last 3 games so i don’t care. he can sit in his stupid house in jersey and have depression about kendall jenner for the rest of the contract we aren’t paying him for all i care

it’s like lebron and everyone in his orbit is tarsh

it is fucked but simmons is the one causing ALL of this. You can argue Daryl is at fault for not trading him but why would you get pennies on the dollar for him and for people who can't push the needle for the team.

 Sure doc and joel had a couple back handed comments after a tough tough series and loss but that doesnt give him the right to just not show up with 4 years left on his 140mil contract. Going back and watching it the comments weren't as bad as people made it out to be. Then he tries to pull out all the cards to get paid but not play which backfired every fucking time. And at this point with Maxey playing as good as he is, ben is only hurting himself by not playing and atleast trying to get his reputation somewhat back.

 Daryl sees alot of stars that might not be on their teams by next year so why wouldnt he just keep waiting if we are doing okay (i know tons of losses but we've been ravaged by covid for weeks now). As for the list of 30, im sure every team has these sorts of lists.

this whole situation is a shit show and i cant wait for it to be over

[thebacker]

also that lebron and stewart incident was very entertaining

[DaleSr]

Stewart was breaking tackles like a mother fucker

There definitely will be more stars that come available (kangz gonna kang)

man after that game last night i dont even want anyone on the kings.

what a toxic team. buddy would be alright but i imagine we could do better down the line.

Also, are the sixers actually better without tobias?

[DaleSr]

Tfw you get rid of the maloofs only to end up with this cornball who wanted to run actual 4 on 5 cherry pick sets in the fucking nba

it's tough because tobias will get us 20/10 just about every night in his sleep, but the offense gets stagnant really quickly if he isn't moving the ball like everyone else. His bread and butter is getting a mismatch in the post and just going to work which is fine when it's against a smaller player but he runs into issues when trying to do it against equally sized players

[DaleSr]

I love Tobias so much but I'm also not mad that i have Paul George and not him
