Mavs looking at potentially trading AD in the next couple of months grin grin

Clown circus. Surely documentaries would be made about this absolute debacle

Funny enough it's the other way round at the moment, he's trying too much to be selfless when he should be taking charge and actually leading the team
The current roster is wack. Ja know this hence his low energy. Besides Jackson, who else do they have? Second year Wells and Edey still play like rookies. I also believe Bane leaving drained the room of energy. When colleagues who you are close to at work suddenly resign, you feel their absence. It takes a mentally strong individual to still have drive when close pals at work leave.

Everyone on the Warriors want to be shooting 3s now grin

14 3s and just 4 two attempt in over 9mins in the first quarter against the Spurs.

It's either these players don't regard Kerr anymore or something is wrong somewhere.

Draymond took three 3s in 5mins FFS grin

OKC and Nuggets ruling the West again.

Lakers are the dark horse there.

Nothing worse than two aging players whose name is bigger than their game
Those two are a terrible combo especially when you have a team with little to no leadership.

When i said we should have let Klay and Draymond go, people called for my head. Klay has left now and he's doing very fine. Lol On that thought, Draymond would have been perfect with Memphis. Lol.

Like, how can you be averaging 8 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists while shooting 46% from the free-throw line this season, yet still have the nerve to call anyone out? I don't want to believe those two play badly because of age; they just don't care or respect the team or fans. KD forever has everyone's respect.

Kerr just looks like he’s there to keep everyone calm, hand out minutes, manage egos and call it a day.

Honestly, i knew were were done after the last championship. The front office is terrible; I mentally checked out after the Poole incident.

Kuminga needs to leave; he deserves a genuine chance.

As long as KD will be playing many minutes, I'm writing them off.

Though I expect them to qualify for the playoffs easily though.

You can always tell a team is shit by how many points their best player has to score to give them a fighting chance.
Warriors are shit....

Naah as long as KD is not your main guy you're good. With Udoka coaching they have a chance.

It all boils down to the maturation of guys like Sengun and Thompson. I still think they are a year away from being a full on threat

Draymond has juju on the Warriors and letting Klay go was a good move in hindsight.

Draymond is that child you enabled for too long so now you're stuck with him. The perplexing thing for me is that he's spamming more shots than ever. He still thinks he's Him grin

The mismanagement of Kuminga will need a 30 for 30 documentary. Next season will be very interesting as his deal is a team option not a player option. They either pick him up or now they actually have to cut ties and lose him for nothing with no more funny tactics

Honestly, Draymond should’ve been gone since the KD incident. It might have looked like a bold or Nico move, but there’s no way I would’ve let KD walk because of him. Or to be conservative, should’ve been clipped but the Warriors are not that organisation. Leadership is poor.

And about him jacking up shots, i think it's worse. I think he knows he’s not “that guy.” but he can't help his impulse. He did the same thing when we had KD. He genuinely doesn't care about being a better player offensively and it's bad cos Steph has to go crazy for us to even get a chance to win a game. It's the same Draymond since 2011; impulsive, plays good defense and a two-way irritant. You love him on the team sometimes; other times you couldn't care less.

Finally someone stepping up to the notorious donkey. I don't understand how the whole league of players is scared of dude. Only guy I seen match his energy was Isaiah Stewart

Isaiah Stewart no send anybody. Pesin when wan beat Ajala. I remember dem saying his career was over after that incident but man has remained a core piece of the Pistons.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 8:06am On Nov 17, 2025
KD with another “you know me” performance in the OT.

Yeah only thing messing him up now na injuries

In other news your Arugbo ojo QB Don carry injury. Murda Mase came in and the offense flowed smoothly.
Re: The NBA Begins by etidy: 6:48am On Nov 18, 2025
I don't understand the stubbornness of some teams. Clippers and pelicans are overdue for a rebuild yet the persist with damaged star players.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:59am On Nov 19, 2025
Seriously, S. Kerr needs to move on from coaching/ retire or transition to a front office role. I am sick and tired of hearing his rants about injuries, back to back games and other nonsense he has been spitting recently. How much much easier can the league make the game for this generation? Now it’s the pace of the game, the same fake advantage this generation brags about. We may as well ban transition basketball.

Once you spend that much money on a big name superstar, it takes a lot to admit you were wrong. Doing so would lead to significant people in the front office getting fired. Front office guys are just trying to stay employed as long as possible. And Kawhi is making sure they pay for their foolish mistakes. I suspect heads will roll this season

Also the star power keeps the arena full and that's money for the owners. Rebuilds are difficult for owners from a revenue standpoint so they allow it drag.

Does the building stay full if said star never shows up? TBH, I dont know, but I guess season ticket owners already paid, so no matter

Yes season ticket holder but It’s not just them. Visiting fans who want to watch the superstar also pay and keep revenue going for owners.

It is why some of us get really mad when I am in an away city for work or leisure and teams decide to rest players in the name of load management.

I don’t care what anyone says, I am never paying a dime out of my pocket to watch a team like the Clippers. I’d rather flush the money down the toilet. You can pay all that money and they decide to rest everyone come game day. Worsestill, the doesn’t even matter if it is a Nationally televised game. They are the worst!
Re: The NBA Begins by etidy: 8:18am On Nov 21, 2025
Clippers now 1-9 in their last 10 games. Beal out of the season, Kawhi is a no show and OKC owns their unprotected first round pick cheesy Sam presti God will judge you grin grin

This dudes better cash out on harden to get some picks

They should cash out the only player thats actually balling for them.

Make sense.

Night after Night Harden shows up, its not his fault if the other bums that surround him can't hit a nickel even if their lives depend on it.
Re: The NBA Begins by larride(m): 9:28am On Nov 21, 2025
Sacramento better sack the amateur coach they hurriedly signed. They don't have prime Jokic and shouldn't be taking the same route as the Nuggets.
