Khanben: All you've basically said here is that he's a good piece to have on a good team. And I'm not disputing that. It's the way we make him seem like a specialist in one particular thing. He's not among the best rebounders for players his size. He's not the best defender as well. We saw the efficiency that Iguodala for instance caused LeBron to have in 2015. KD on the other hand averaged 35 points on 50% shooting on his head. AD averaged 25 on 60% shooting against him last season. So if you ask me, there's nothing stressful in getting buckets against PJ. Managers keep throwing him against oversized star players when the evidence is there that he doesn't do much against them. Always getting in foul trouble because there's no other way to stop his guys. And on offence he's almost a liability. KD was able to amass almost 11 rebounds against him because all he wanted to do was stand around in the corner and shoot 3s, and KD was more than willing to give him that. He brings a lot of energy to the team I give you that. |

Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 1:05am On Aug 20, 2021 |
steady986: For real. And Boston is the worst place for him to showcase his talents imo - he will be playing a secondary role. He doesnt act like someone who can dig deep and come up a stellar season in a bad spot. Lets see though |
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 1:21am On Aug 20, 2021 |
So, its official. Lebron is a scrub. The Lakers are not a super team. |

Roland17:Lol una no try for that guy at all. Iro o da. Na him head dey pursue una so. See how Miami is treating Udonis (can't believe they gave that nigga another extension ) on how to look after your guys |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:46am On Aug 20, 2021 |
Shittaakeem:This is even worse than Schroeder's case. Cause the Heat gave him veteran minimum. Suprised this flew under the radar, what was he thinking? He thought he was a max player? Which kin delusion of grandeur be that one and where does he think he will ever get that kind of offer again. He played college in Naptown. It's more or less his city. That was $28m a year? How do you pass on $28m?? Houston threw him another bone and he refused. Fun irony. On his draft year their poll projected him as the one to have the best career alongside wait for it.... Kelly Olynyk in their defense it was quite a horrible draft with the undisputed worst #1 pick in league history |

Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 8:09am On Aug 20, 2021 |
birdman: Lol. He's 37 years old and entering his 19th season. By default he's not even supposed to be a top player in the league. We'll take the underdog role; he's paid his dues already. |
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 1:10pm On Aug 20, 2021 |
steady986: I agree. Kobe too got pissed when ESPN said he wasnt even a top 10 player. But they were proven right, time had caught up with him. 2 Likes |

Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 3:48pm On Aug 20, 2021 |
birdman:Yes, of course. I can't wait for their power ranking. It'll be laughable if the Lakers ain't top 2. ESPN is a joke so. It's even more funny how LeBron took it so personal. |

Let's compare the Big 3s of each team that supposedly has a big 3 H2H and let's see who comes out tops |
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 8:02pm On Aug 20, 2021 |
SmooshCHN: You sound worried |
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 8:09pm On Aug 20, 2021 |
A40: Hmm, take Nets for example, I know who the big 3 is. What about Warriors? After Curry, Klay, is it Green or Wiggins or... Depends on what aspect of the game you are looking at? |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 11:35pm On Aug 20, 2021 |
birdman:I'm saying save for the much hullaballoo about the 3 ball the Lakers IMO have the best big 3. Considering their size and skillset they are the most balanced of all big 3's. Westbrook (fingers crossed) will not have enough opportunity to shoot the Lakers out of a playoff game. This is the biggest thing everyone seems to be ignoring. For him to go cap in hand to join Lebron it means he's now ready to limit his bad tendencies |

Finally! Yes!!! The Celtics extend TimeLord..4/54M He just needs to stay healthy and I have no doubts he will continue his progress and come good. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 7:26am On Aug 21, 2021 |
A40: Una don come again! Him head dey pursue us how? Baba abeg free us jare. IT na free agent oh, wetin Mavs dey wait for? As for me, I know say many people no go like my comment but I don't care. Udonis should go and retire abeg! He is busy chopping a roster spot for a young guy in the G-League that has something to prove. If it is from a leadership/ locker room standpoint, then they should hire him as a coach of some sorts. I honestly don't see the benefit of getting paid every year to just sit on the bench, all in the name of experience and emotional leader. The last time we saw him, he got thrown out inside only 3 minutes of his only season appearance. Baba should just stop... |

Roland17: He's gonna clear waivers with the wolves to that he can sign with the Lakers |
Re: The NBA Begins by AndrewFarms(m): 11:26am On Aug 21, 2021 |
A40: What people fail to understand is that in basketball, you don't need to have a big 3 to win chips... Lakers and bucks are typical examples, the warriors are an abbiration and another big 3 warriors ain't gonna happen no more... |
Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 12:45pm On Aug 21, 2021 |
A40: Brooklyn's big 3 at this stage of their career, when healthy are the better trio. Also their fit is more organic. Lebron has only played well alongside shooters, which Westbrook is not 2 Likes |
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 5:53pm On Aug 21, 2021 |
A40: So you think Lebron, AD and WB is better than Durant, Harden and Kyrie? Even with only AD in his prime vs Durant Harden and Kyrie still in their prime? Nah. Not on offense, not on defense. |

I still think Schroeder and Drummond were enough to drag that series to a Game 7 but that's argument for another day Overall I still think you need two stars and one borderline star or 1 supernova and two borderline stars 1 Like |
