SportsRe: The NBA Begins by A40(m):
John Wall looked very good in his return. If he stays healthy I don't see how he and Christian Wood don't help Harden to make some noise with Houston. I'm actually intrigued with this team and want to see Silas given a shot. Harden should see this season out at the very least and take it from there.

Donovan Mitchell though. That guy doesn't seem to know when to stop shooting

Haskins problem has been known from college, everyone knew that. He partied/ clubbed too much and many were unsure if he prioritized football. Well he took the same behavior to the NFL with no mentors around him to guide him. Read his statement/ apology and you will see the indifference.

He is a very bad example of a One and done QB from college because he obviously lacked the discipline and was not prepared mentally to play in the big stage. I blame the WFT in some aspects. You don’t see all of that and still give the keys and face of the franchise to him with absolutely no plans to mentor or place him in a strict regime. You also know he now projects the bad narrative about black QB’s not having the discipline and intelligence to play the cerebral position despite the exploits of R. Wilson, P. Mahomes, D. Watson, L. Jackson, K. Murray, T. Bridgewater.

Take a look at what B. Flores is doing at Miami with Tua.. Brian understands Tua is young and not ready to totally take charge, so he uses Fitzpatrick to mentor and guide him especially in tough situations when they need wins. He has withdrawn Tua twice in losing situations, introduced Fitz and won the game. Tua understands he is not invincible because he is a first round pick.

Haskins had a tremendous year at Ohio State but like many, I wasn’t too sure he was an exceptional talent like T. Lawrence or my Boy J. Allen with the Bills. The league is a tough one and it punishes even exceptionally talented players worth more players whose talent remain questioned ask AB, Dez Bryant etc.

Would he get a 2nd chance? I highly doubt that but I hope he is not judged primarily by this incident because many have done worse but he needs to critically reevaluate himself and decide if he really wants to play football. I will suggest Haskin and his team reach out to T. Dungy. He has been instrumental in helping a lot of young sports players who lost their way to find themselves. He is an exceptional disciplinarian and mentor to many athletes.
Nobody is perfect but I don't know who are this kid's advisers.

He seems to never have had the spirit of entitlement flogged out of him and in hindsight that one good year at Ohio State was the worst thing that could have happened to him. You saw how he smirked when Daniel Jones was selected ahead of him. Then you come out and say "the league don messed up" without taking a single snap just tells me he didn't know what he was getting into

I would hope this doesn't reinforce anything about black QBs who have clearly proven they can play. Every man for himself and it's very important that nobody uses this as an excuse to clutch on to outdated stereotypes

What Flores is doing with Tua is brilliant but incredibly fortunate, I credit Fitzpatrick for making this work. I don't know a Quarterback past or present that would accept such.

I would hope Haskins gets a second chance but he has so much unlearning to do. Celebrating throwing for 300 yards but your team lost by 2 touchdowns. However the biggest concern I saw in his last game and I'm just not sure he's an NFL caliber QB.

Maybe he should have stayed one more year in college or something but this boy cannot read defenses, coverages, nothing. There was a 4th and 2 on his last drive. This man had 3 receivers open and he literally could not see them and wound up taking a sack. I couldn't believe my eyes

Skip bAyless, is that you? tongue

What you also failed to tell the audience is that he averaged 35.8 points, 13.3 rebounds and 8.8 assists across six Finals games.

You also failed to mention that Bron is the first player in NBA Finals history to lead both teams in points, assists and rebounds for the entire series.
I don't put much stock on rebounds. They are the easiest stats to pad and they had Mozgov and Tristan Thompson who could handle those responsibilities anyway.

He did well in the assists department but his scoring was really bad. He shot below 40% FFS

I do. They just beat the almighty Kings having lost that same game a couple days back. Prior to then, CP3 and Harden beat a leaderless Warriors team in which Curry had 0 pts in the first half and failed by scoring 33 in the second half to still lose to CP3 4-2. Remember that useless Curry that lacks leadership qualities that qualified for the playoffs 51-31 under Mark Jackson? The one who won 67-15 under Kerr and a ring with all those all star players? I wish he was CP3 who won 3 rings with the wonderful Clippers.
The difference between Steph and CP3 is that Steph does not need the ball to kill you. He's far more dangerous without it than CP. Ironically he would have been a better fit with Harden than CP

Sometimes these people dey think say people dey sleep when dem dey play these matches. If you see 40 points you go think say Lebron don overperform. Meanwhile the guy needed at least 30 FG to score those points, sometimes needing as much as 38. grin grin. Na so so stat padding. grin
I just laugh when I hear people go off like he played well. Just like in 07 where he was terrible in the Finals and only benefitted from a shitty conference to get there anyway

Jimmy Butler carried the same burden with the Heat and did it more efficiently

OoooHHH Lord! Here we go again! Here we go..Do you people even have any shame? Remind me who he beat again? THE LIONS!!The freaking LIONS!!!!. He has a win now roster but somehow struggled to get the Bucs to the postseason. You better watch it when you talk about the GOAT!
Did you say the NFC N is rubbish? Haba na! You have the Bears/ Vikings and I would give you the Lions.. Are you seriously saying the Bears and Vikings have been scrub? No na!!!!
Yes the same Lions Aaron Fraudgers gets to feast on them twice every year. Vikings are rubbish as well and the Bears everyone knows have a mediocre offense

Struggled? GOAT Brady has 36 TD passes at age 43. Let that sink in for a second. With no preseason in a new squad. Their roster is win now? Why didn't they win last season? The defense is the same. They have AB who played one game last season and Gronk who came back from retirement and clearly was rusty those are the only significant additions

While media is claiming basement Beijing Biden won,a lot of patriots are thoroughly pissed off and millions will march to DC on Jan 6. Many armed, behind every head there are rifles
Some leftists here call me deluded,if Biden wants to restore a republic he needs to cut a deal, get a pardon for his son Hunter Biden who is under federal investigation for money laundering and tax evasion.Then gracefully concede.

Losers might as well burn the whole house down if they are to go down.

The media thinks it has absolute power by virtual dominance. The media will tuck their tails between the between their legs.If Beijing Biden is a patriot he better concede

You are missing the onus of the argument... All these are off the court issues, not on the court. You are focusing on off court issues to vilify the man and you have just justified my argument with what you put up there.
When he made an on court statement about playing with another “Clutch” player, all of you Lebron stans started bringing off the court issues rather than addressing the on court statement he made about Clutch which was true especially at that time.
Leave LeNomad banter. Did you see GOAT Brady? Imagine if Brady had to play in the weak NFC North facing rubbish teams like the Lions and Vikings every season. Even the imposter Aaron Rodgers you saw how his shitpackers were brutally sodomized by the GOAT.

4 TDs in a half at 43!! 36 for the season.

With Klay injured you think we really stand a chance in the wild west? I done talk am before. What do you people expect from the Warriors this season? Best is we finish 7th or 8th seed with a healthy Steph and Draymond and that's if Wiggins can act as a poor man Harrison Barnes. With Klay's absence, Curry's lack of any sense of urgency (including Steve Kerr) and poor individual offense is why I don't expect anything from the team this season. Who else can score on that team? No one except Curry. Abeg, tank this season and don't give us false hope.
No even with Klay back I didn't consider you guys favorites for some reason. I'd still put y'all behind the Lakers and Clippers out West

I think it's rather early to talk about tanking considering you guys are neck deep in luxury tax territory. You guys had to face 2 top 5 teams in the league on the road. Alarm bells would really start to ring when you start losing to the Hornets and the Cavs etc.

You're right on the scoring aspect though Wiseman already is looking like a bona fide stud. However I don't know who thought it would be a good idea to have both Oubre and Wiggins in one squad. These are literally the most inefficient high volume shooting wings in the game that give you nothing else when their shots don't fall.

Harden's recklessness has led us to the first postponement of the season. I'm confused. They allowed him play preseason. No? Either way with Harden's antics I don't see why any responsible GM will trade for him.

You're not beating AD and LeNomad, KD and Kyrie or Paul George and Kawhi with Harden as your best player so what's the point

We saw glimpses of this indiscipline last night when they went on runs and then lost leads. The mentality of this team is too soft despite all the gra-gra. The Lakers would have buckled down and handed them an L if this was a meaningful game.
Neither team played too great tbvh. LeNomad was terrible and AD even worse. Kawhi was poor as well. I'm looking at the so-called new additions of the Lakers with side eye though. Wes Matthews and Marc Gasol. If those guys get significant minutes in any game the Lakers will be at disadvantages
