Notice OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA THREAD-January 2021

[kjironman1]

So Harden saved his life by telling the Rockets he wanted to go to Brooklyn ?

I think it was more the table dancers that made Harden want to leave that saved his life if we are gonna go that way with it?

Man, 48 years old and Covid got him. Vicious bastard of a disease. Condolences to his family and RIP.

 

[Minstrel]

That's a shame. I remember reading articles of his, very solid sportswriter.

there are still a whole bunch of idiots not taking Covid seriously

watching the Jazz dismantle NY after the Knicks got a big lead in the first half.

the defensive adjustments Quinn Snyder made make me so jealous. they're making NY so uncomfortable getting in their sets that even if it ends in an open shot, NY is exhausted and has no legs to make em.

ugh. we aren't even close to this level

 

[illmatic99]

Was a regular Hangtime Pod listener back in the day. This one stings.

 

[KingSpeed]

Caris LeVert had successful surgery for kidney cancer. No further treatment is needed and he’s expected to make a full recovery. The physical associated with his trade to the Pacers may have saved his life.

Wow

 

[KingSpeed]

Rip

Whoa. On anniversary of Kobe’s death.

[KingSpeed]

Oh good for Russ. I didn’t know he significantly improved his 3 point shooting this year.

 

[kjironman1]

Not trying to jump on the bash Russ train but

 

[illmatic99]

Get Beal out of that toxic environment. Guessing Brooks gets fired this week.

 

[ehizzy3]

I think Beal is going to be playing in Denver, unfortunately

[THE HCP]

Damn, he looks so “old” out there!

 

[DDolla]

LOL Maybe Lebron should join the Nets too. What a joke.

 

[Chris Craig]

Fucking super teams. Ridiculous

Fucking super teams. Ridiculous

both of KD's titles are already tainted. this will just make it worse.

 

[wizenheimer]

I wish Dame had a tainted title

 

[illmatic99]

I wish Dame had a tainted title

... in Portland.

 

[Chris Craig]

Any title won in Brooklyn is tainted after the Harden trade. Durant has proved he doesn't have what it takes to lead a team a championship by himself. He needs to be surrounded by 3-4 other Allstars

 

[Chris Craig]

... in Portland.

Unfortunately, stars won't come here to form a super team. Dame would have to go elsewhere.

 

[Cugel]

I think Dame's values are a bit different, maybe more than a bit, actually. He doesn't come across as a guy who would "sell his soul" to get a ring. Whether that means demanding a trade, demanding others are traded etc., only he knows. It does seem likely that he could have gone to LAL a year or two back if he so desired. If he is ok with doing it the old-fashioned way, I presume, perhaps I should be too. Fuck the superteams. Fuck the Nets and the Lakers.

I would rather be a Blazers fan than a superteam fan. Any day of the week. Sure, it's hard to define a superteam but still if it walks like a duck...
Time to get fed up, Portland won't win a title this year, so just make it hard for the others to win one. Be the team that nobody really wants to face for 7 games.

 

[wizenheimer]

Time to get fed up, Portland won't win a title this year, so just make it hard for the others to win one. Be the team that nobody really wants to face for 4 games.

FTFY

 

[handiman]

I'd like to think that's true, but LeBron's super team sins were immediately forgotten. The big market narrative will let Brooklyn off the hook, too.

 

[riverman]

Anybody else have a hard time seeing allstar voting starts tomorrow? the timing of this award never ceases to confound me.At this point it's gong to be purely a popularity contest even more so than usual

 

[BigGameDamian]

Fucking super teams. Ridiculous

Lebron was the player that started the team up phase.
