They lost Jarrett Allen
.
You don’t think that’s huge?

Im not sure if DeAndre can protect the rim like Jarrett.

My brother! They basically gave up their entire bench for this trade. The fact that they still have about 12m in cap after that trade tells you how sh*t that team currently is.

I'm thinking that if Kyrie's head was right they wouldn't have done this trade. My gut feeling is that they'll trade Kyrie at some point this season. And they should pray he doesn't continue like this, if not they'll have to lose him for peanuts, maybe a fringe All star and a few picks, because not many teams would be willing to part with much for a problem like Kyrie.

mattfeuter:
Bro,

This is championship or bust. No ifs or buts.

One thing we know is KD and Harden will show up.

Same can’t be said about kyrie.

Make dem no sha give us any excuses if it doesn’t go according to plan with all that firepower.

If Kyrie plays then he'll show up no doubt, but I'm still trying to crack my head as to how this works. It worked for KD in GS because neither Steph nor Klay actually needed the ball; they were more deadly with their movements. And KD as well doesn't need the ball that much. But here we have Kyrie and Harden who are both ball hogs, with KD. One of them would have to turn to a spot-up shooter o , e no get how

So the Cavs just messed around and got Jarrett Allen

birdman:
so rockets are in rebuild mode, ol boy this year is going to suck. If you are coach silas, you praying and fasting right now - baba how did I end up in this mess I like Oladipo, but the only winner in this situation is the owner saving money

Rebuilding ke! With Oladipo, Wall, Wood, Cousins and Gordon? That's a team that's expected to make the playoffs at least. Then we see where they go from there.

So it's gone from KD-Steph-Klay to KD-Harden-Kyrie in a blink of an eye
But make I no talk before them crucify me for here.

But I see the Nets trading Kyrie for some valuable pieces. They've lost their depth with this trade: LeVert, Allen, Prince, and don't forget they already lost Dimwinddie.

Harden about to become a 3 and D guy in Brooklyn

birdman:
houston is not dumping ground abeg. We dont have any psychiatric facilities, keep your crazy in brooklyn. we have had enough drama already.

It could be that what Kyrie needs is a change of city

birdman:
Nash is in over his head imo. The good thing about Durant is his crazy never extends to the court - he will take care of business for 48 minutes. Kyrie cant seem to keep his trouble off the court, and I dont know that Nash will be able to manage this situation.

Yea, a more veteran coach will just say 'enough is enough' and everybody will listen, or get traded.

mattfeuter:
Kyrie is on some crazzzy sh$t

Na so Kanye west take start

And they are projecting this nets team to win the east?

I laugh in mandarin

They're just going the same route the Clippers took last year, only that this one looks worse.

iamJ:
They way kuzma's averages have increased since THT emerged

Lol. What's he averaging? I'm quite sure it's less than the 12 he averaged last year.

iamJ:
kyrie thinks that he is bigger than he actually is, he is very talented but not in the way that can make him a stand alone star but the brother is chasing that, maybe he expected to overshadow KD based on KD's injuries but KD is exploding, kyrie shld accept that he is a plug and not the engine, you shld be happy, if that team should click they will be formidable.

They need to sort themselves out. Even though his reason may be genuine he can't be giving his teammates the impression that he can just opt out of games whenever he wants. And truly, this job might just be too big for Nash to handle...two very emotional stars.

If I'm the Nets I'm trading Kyrie's a*s to Houston for Harden. At least Harden is always available to play.

It's 11 games into the season and the Nets have found out they have a big problem. Not just about Kyrie not wanting to play for unknown reasons, also because this partnership has shown signs that it might not work.

It's strange that the Nets are 5-6 after 11 games, I don't care how much KD and Kyrie have played together. They're actually 3-3 when they've played together so it doesn't matter. And I'm sure the Nets are now realizing that they actually need a coach unlike what Kyrie said.

This chap Lavine is special. Can legit be a second option on a championship team.

iamJ:
Zion Williamson is averaging 20ppg

If he continues at this pace

This is a weird season so far. AD is averaging 22.

Kawhi and PG combined for 4 points in the fourth quarter as they watched the Warriors steal the victory.

Can't be my team

Clippers...lol Those guys are not ready. How many points did they lead by in this game? The ghosts of last season still lingering.

mattfeuter:
I don’t think that’s the reason plus I think these guys play pick up basketball in the off season as well.

True

birdman:
Way too many acl injuries already this year, mostly guys who werent even in playoffs last year.

It's alarming. A result of the lengthy layoff perhaps?

birdman:
Man refused to leave DC. He should enjoy his 60pts in mediocrity. Maddening lackof ambition

And he's 27; right in his prime. He needs to leave asap. A lot of teams would be willing to take up his contract.

Man, the lockdown D on Steph, Kawhi and PG in this game is something else. No free meals tonight

So Bradley Beal dropped 60 tonight, 2 less than Steph's career high. Y'all gon give that man his respect in this league. Enough said.

So the Clippers rested PG last night so he could be fresh for GS (Perhaps the Fear of Chef Curry? ) only to lose the game. This is the second time this is happening. At least now they know they can't win a game without their two stars playing.

GS vs Clippers back to back next. Those game would tell us a lot about these two teams. We go dey watch.

Afromentalist:
Must we hate one player in other to appreciate the greatness of another?

As a Lebron fan, is it wrong if I like KD and curry? As a curry fan, is it bad that I also like Dame dolla? Why do people always give this impression that it must be one or the other. What makes both or all of them mutually exclusive?

These phonies on this thread have been hating on LeBron for fun since time immemorial. But now that we are only being critical of Steph they're being all emotional I've now found something to troll them with . Make Steph no make playoffs first, e go bloody

etidy:
The curry critics are quiet today, I wonder what happened.
Curry can not carry a team. A 2 time mvp, one unanimous who lead his team by almost 10 points per game in scoring cannot carry a team .

Make we dy fear God sometimes before talking nonsense.

Anyway, anyone can score 62 points of they shoot enough but for me that's not the way basketball should be played. It shouldn't always have to be about the stat but impact

Lol, just as you have come here to praise Steph after an excellent game, we will keep coming back here after any sub-par game to slander him It is what it is bro. Now GS are 3 and 3. Not bad. Hope you can see the Draymond Green Effect on the team, Steph most especially. Steph looks like a new man all of a sudden.

So the two people (himself and KD) Kyrie said he can look to to take a clutch shot, which in fact he emphatically said are better than LeBron in that situation, just missed a clutch shot each to lose to the Wizards. Jokes on you Kyrie Keep talking that sh*t.

Android17:
Draymond the instigator and leader did not play?

Cheap of you to want to put this on Draymond on his first game back.

Man, it's gon be a long season for the Warriors. When they lose they lose heavily, when they win they win narrowly. Maybe it's their defence they need to even worry about. You can't keep shipping these large numbers on a nightly basis.

Perhaps it's time to start taking the Hawks seriously

9th in Defence. I expect that to get better once LeBron and AD are 100% locked in. And Caruso, who's one of the better defenders on the team, has barely played.

And that 3 point shooting; it was our achilles heel last year. If we can stay close to this efficiency then this team would be unbeatable.

birdman:
I was just thinking this. The superstars that were in the playoffs have weird stats this year. Not bad, but not great either. Maybe best to coast and just make the playoffs, better than season ending injury

Coasting could be detrimental this year Too many good teams that are waiting on the brinks to capitalize on any slipups. I believe things will get better though
