come on home jrue

Jrue and Matisse back for Harden would be great.

if boston gets jrue we might as well trade embiid lol

home meaning the 6ers or home meaning LA? (clips)

i feel like he's the most important piece on the block right now. dude can transform any one of these playoff squads into a contender, and contenders into winners. hope he doesn't rot away on a decent Blazers team. love watching him in big games

Im kinda nervous the Suns got more depth and freed up space, thought they’d screwed themselves with 4 max contracts and would be gassed come playoff time.

Still think a healthy Nuggets team can beat anyone in a 7 game series but it seems like there’s 3-4 teams in each conference that could be serious contenders…

BallDontLie · « **Reply #5073 on:** September 28, 2023, 01:52:06 PM »

Denver is still elite. The depth and chemistry. Good coaching.

@easymoneysniper definitely a huge piece…. Can pretty much plug him into any contending team and he contributes. Great two way guard….

I miss watching locally competitive basketball lol… i am pretty excited to see Amen Thompson and Cam Whitmore hoop.

There's no way they got better by adding nurk over ayton

Clippers just signed a flasher

Jrue to the Celtics. That Dame trade really worked out well for them.

RoaryMcTwang · « **Reply #5077 on:** October 01, 2023, 05:45:43 PM »

Holy shit the east is going to be nuts. Hope they all tire each other out so that the Nuggets can snag another one.

scab · « **Reply #5078 on:** October 02, 2023, 01:23:01 AM »

Well... So much for my "Celts won't go for Jrue" take. I definitely didn't expect them to let Timelord go, but maybe they finally realized it doesn't really matter how good they are with him if he only plays half the games. The top of the East is going to be nasty.

we have pat bev, mo bamba, and kelly oubre jr i hope we make the second round

i draw the line with this team at not even making the second round and thereby losing paul reed to free agency.

that being said fuck this season.

doesnt look like embiid is gonna play, missed shootaround with an illness.

So naturally we'll start Marcus Morris, who isnt even a center, and is completely washed.

Has this NBA cup done anything for anyone?

I’m hypothetically happy for lakers to be in semis, but I think it’ll be years before the cup has any kind of cache or bragging rights to it.

Or it’ll be like winning a Pandemic Championship where every team that didn’t win it acts like the team that did has some kind of moral failing

I think it's good for the game and definitely seems to be working so far. Gives the audience something to care about in the middle of the season. It also gives the chance for bench players who don't rake in a bunch of cash to make an extra 500k which can go a long way. I have a feeling it's here to stay. Bummed the Celtics are knocked out but the Pacers are looking pretty great for a young team

If Lebron does win the NBA Cup, it’ll be funny to troll MJ stans that MJ never won one

Yeah. It's gotten the Pacers three nationally televised games this year.

Was rooting for the pacers but imagining MJ stans being butthurt now is not too bad either

Nothing to see there. Guy with anger management issues lashes out again and is once more enabled by those who ought to keep him in check. It's been going on for what, 8+ years now?

Lenny the Fatface · « **Reply #5098 on:** December 13, 2023, 06:42:40 AM »

The NBA enabled him, it’s kind of gross. Every suspension he’s received has been looked at as individual incidents and not a clear habit of violence.

If they threw the book at Ja for basically pretending to be Youngboy, then they need to put a heavy suspension on a player that actually hurts people consistently.
