OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA THREAD - July 2021

The cops aren't the issue there. Lebrons James complaining about a commentator saying something about his sons foul call why his son was playing in Lebron James Arena is the issue.

Is that the example you want to set for your kid? That words make you take your ball and go home? What have we come to....

 

[B-Roy]

Watching Paul and Booker carve up drop coverage is crazy.

 

[Chris Craig]

Suns getting too cocky

Here come the Bucks

 

[Chris Craig]

Bucks to tired

Then put that in bold at the top. The police didn't "have to step in".

I agree. They missed a ton of open looks. I look for them to be a lot more physical on defense, and hitting their open shots. Holiday needs to bring it on defense against Paul, the way he can.

The Suns had like a week off. The Bucks had just finished their series against ATL. I wasn't surprised to see PHX be the more energetic team in game 1.

...what about French cops, do they count?!

'I truly hope that I can finish my career' in LA, LeBron says. Sounds like he's leaving the door open for an exit strategy. I hope, doesn't mean, I will.

Hes damn near 40 I hope he finally settles on a team by now

This is the sum total of the Athletic story, so nothing new IMO:

 

[Natebishop3]

I still feel like it's just a bunch of posturing from Philly. They tanked his value after the last game and now they're trying to walk it back.

There is no "they".
The GM is trying to walk back the statements made by his idiotic star player and idiotic coach - which, of course he is.

"They" meaning the Sixers as a as a staff, record label, and as a motherfuckin' crew!

 

[JoshuaHall]

Yeah I’m sure they’re asking for an all star in return. I’m also sure there is a big market for him at a price below that all star value. Then when everyone laughs and says no, they’ll have to face reality. They blew it by not trading him for Harden. Then they’ll have to decide whether to run it back with him again, or to accept the new value.

Kawhi had a torn ACL. Another contender severely hobbled next year. Recovery time is anywhere from 3-6 months, but knowing Kawhi it will take longer.

I'd still trade CJ for him.

Kawhi to Blazers confirmed.

 

[Ripcity4life77]

I do not think the Blazers will be the team to GET Simmons but would not be surprised if the Blazers are involved to try and snag a nice side piece to help.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Had the rockets kept their guys, they'd do serious damage in the playoffs this year. Several of their former players are key components to playoff teams this year - Capela, Paul, Harden, Tucker....

Here's a list of who was on that team:

Harden?

 

[illmatic99]

wtf where did this come from? he's gonna be out like all of next season.

 

[tykendo]

He wants to play with Bronny, the quicker picker upper. Bronny goes to the Knicks, LBJ probably follows.

 

[ehizzy3]

Booker is unstoppable tonight

 

[tlongII]

How do they not call a foul on Booker there???

 

[HailBlazers]

6th foul on Booker, couldn't be more obvious...

 

[craigehlo]

Booker up to 7 fouls now?

 

[DDolla]

What a game… hope it goes game 7. Oh and I don’t missed Rachel Nichols. Malika is just fine
