  • NBA starts October 19th!

    Kyrie, the headache, is not going to be playing.

    WTF did Durant want to play w him again?

    Go Lakers, hope for Zion to be healthy , Benain Simmons to continue to not have a J, Warriors have a semblance of previous years, Wishing Bradley Beal goes to a contender.

    hope for Zion to be healthy , 

    Already announced he will miss 2-3 weeks with a foot injury. 

    At what point can everybody finally admit that Ja > Zion?

    Again?

    Zion when healthy is 10x better than Ja.  It’s not even close.

    Now if he can just stay healthy…
  • Opening tip off and nadda?

    Russel Westbrook was a -23 on the box score...  Jeezus...
    Bench killed the Lakers last night.

    Giannis is still angry w something to prove.  Good for him.

    Westbrook and Lebron don't look like they can coexist successfully. Both need the ball in their hands.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    That was evident during pre season.  westbrook should ball handle drive and dump every time.  That might work. or pick and roll with LBJ and let him secondary distribute.

    Hell I don't know.  If Brooklyn can figure it out I sure hope the Lakers can.

    Brooklyn figured it out? What did I miss?

    But availability is a huge part of it

    Kyrie said that Harden is to handle the ball.  That and they figured out how to play last year with a revolving line up.  Surely you saw that last year?  They are still favored to win the east this year.

    Come on now...

    Did you see him this year?  A bit pudgier than last year.

    I had said when he was drafted that he would last 5 years in the league until his body let him down.  I still hope that I am wrong.

    They were a super team expected to waltz to the Finals. Instead they played about 10 games together during the regular season, finished behind the Sixers, and then lost in the second round. I think I'd need to see more success than that to say they've figured it out...

    I agree.  just like the Sixers...

    EDIT: The Nets played much better than the Sixers IMO during the playoffs.  BOTH teams should have gone further.  I think the Nets are built better and run better.

    We will see since Vegas agrees w me too.

    Not much of a stretch to say the Nets, with three potential hall of famers, are built better than the Sixers...especially with what the Sixers are dealing with right now.

    Happy to have basketball back at least.

    Speaking of the Sixers.  How is Philly treating Benamin in the sports pages there?  I'm sure it can't be good?

    I see it tweeted a lot now.  I love it actually.  Heard it mentioned here on NY sports radio too and he wasn't a reporter.

    But I read the Sixers thread and am all caught up now.  Thanks for your take.
