Lol. See how you people are suggesting trading LeBron like LeBron is Kyle Kuzma or something
LeBron gets traded only if he asks to. And he's not even playing that badly for anyone to want to trade him. Much of AD's success has to do with him and Westbrook intentionally giving him the ball. That brings us to the delima of whether to trade Westbrook or not. The guy is taking fewer shots these days which is good. He's more interested in finding others. I'm sure even Darvin Ham is happy with this version of Russ. He still remains the top 1 or 2 facilitator on the team. There's a whole lot of decisions to be made over the coming days. I wouldn't be surprised if the team remains as it is come 15th

For a supposed big market team, you guys consistently make underwhelming trades. Or stand and do nothing. Every year.

Celtics buzzsaw. I think they face the Warriors next. Then the Lakers. Should be fireworks

I think last month or there about I talked about the Sacramento Kings and they are showing they are no fluke.

This Kings side are well coached, athletic, fast on the break, can score on all 3 levels and decent on the defensive end.

The Warriors are the ultimate test on the defensive end. We are way short when it comes to meeting that level. I really miss Ime’s defensive coaching.

For me, it is not so much so what we are not doing on offense but what are failing to do on defense. We look really poor on defense and it is frustrating to me.

Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 5:19am On Dec 11, 2022

A disappointing performance especially on the defensive end. However, I am happy with this result because we need this humbling experience and strong reminder that we are far from where we need to be.

The warriors clicking at the right moment.
Klay is working his way up and the Abysmal second unit is improving...
Team looks Formidable and ready for another run.
The warriors got the Celtics number. They cannot beat the warriors..

Just match up really well with them for some reason

Anything the Celtics can do, the warriors can do better.
And with Klay going off like that, it's a no contest. If Klay stays consistent and the second unit finally clicks, the warriors would be twice as formidable as they were last season....

You are getting shut out by Mr. Irrelevant.. I mean, at some point have mercy on your lying soul and call him what he is. grin

Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 12:25am On Dec 12, 2022

The Western conference standing is looking different. This Suns team is done, they can’t come out of that conference. The Pelicans have shown growth over the last 3 seasons.

Klay definitely looks a lot more aggressive than I've ever seen him. He's taking the responsibility of #1 scorer these past few weeks

This West coast trip is definitely testing the mental strength of this team.

Halftime: Celtics 47-56 Clippers

Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 6:10am On Dec 14, 2022

E be like this your Celtics na scam. How did a 14 point lead turn to an 8 point deficit in less than 8 minutes

Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 6:29am On Dec 14, 2022

A good come back to force the OT. Like I said after yesterdays disaster against the Clippers, this West coast trip will test our mental strength.

Mazzulla is making a lot of mistakes with his rotation and subs which is making matchups difficult for us on the defensive end.

Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 6:36am On Dec 14, 2022

The Lakers have no legs to play OT grin

Smoke em Tatum/ Brown!!!

Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 6:40am On Dec 14, 2022

Hands down this is the craziest game of the year. And I saw the Lakers vs Sixers game.

What a comeback. Well they kinda shouldn't have had to do that. They were up 14 with 2 minutes left in the 3rd quarter

On a side note LeNomad don turn professional 3pt spammer grin

Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 12:05pm On Dec 14, 2022

So with all the rogbodiyan Lebron, AD and Russ have been doing these guys are only two games ahead of the worst team in the conference shocked

The last surviving NBA rivalry is dead. There are no more NBA rivalries in this generation and it sucks.

There used to be historical rivalries like Bird v Magic, GOAT v Isaiah Thomas, Lakers v Celtics, Bulls v Pistons, Pistons v Sixers, Lakers v Suns, Jazz v Rockets, Pacers (Reggie Miller) v Knicks , Pat Riley v Phil Jackson…

I mean teams, players and coaches that hate each other before, during and after the game!!!

There are ways to fix this. But the guys that make money off the nba have decided that a safe, harmless product with no bite is best bang for the buck. If you want rivalries, you need strong personalities that inspire loyalty in the fan base. And you need to allow the game to be rough a little, so that the beloved personality can be bushwacked often. All the rivalries you mentioned above have it.

The nature of the game has also changed. It favors cartoonish high scoring games over defensive slugfests. Not only the scores are fake. Even the fans are bandwagon, no real loyalty. Some of that is on ownership as well, when you move seattle supersonics to OKC thunder, etc after a while fans realize to not waste their energy on a billionaires pet project.

Yo need to see how we were rabid vs Utah and looked down on the Mavs back in the day. But most of us learned lesson and grew up.

Rivalries only form from teams repeatedly playing each other, especially if the strength of the squads allows for both teams to exchange wins especially in the playoffs.
The issue now is that, this past season, makes 4 straight NBA finals, where the two teams in the previous finals not only did not make the finals they did not even make the conference finals.

If the current celtics and bucks roster meet often in the playoffs for a few more years, a good rivalry would form. One could smell it last playoffs. Imagine Horford and Giannis banging bodies again and drawing blood in next years playoffs? Fireworks!

The truth remains, for good rivalries to form, players have to stay long enough in a franchise, be the face of that franchise, take on its weight, pains, challenges and history and bring that emotion each game.
