reddit doctors are so incredibly obnoxious. how many people in this thread were confidently giving timelines of 3-6 weeks based on absolutely fucking nothing. every time something goes wrong people trying to hold a funeral and then act like it’s a miracle when their doomer predictions weren’t correct.
They were better than they are now, got hot at the right time, and didn’t face any world beaters in the playoffs. Suns choked hard, mavs and Celtics weren’t quite ready yet. Warriors were playing well and had a massive advantage in experience.
i mean, i think his argument for GOAT is that his peak is comparable with other GOAT candidates and he is the accumulation/longevity god next to that. 08 through 16 lebron is an 8 year peak up there with anyone as a player.
and for the record i do have MJ as the GOAT.
shoutout deandre ayton. turns out he’s pretty good at finishing plays when he’s put in the position to.
When was that not the game lol
i’m ready for a lot of bickering about which team’s underwhelming center is more underwhelming

What a fucking joke
Happens all the time, some teams are crazy physical with him off-ball. The bulls game recently was a good example.
his play in phoenix has been very underrated. the way people started talking about him the last couple years is just odd considering his level of play.
jordan hawkins is better than i expected and putting it together much earlier than i thought.
Caruso did play excellent defense. One thing that has been crazy since KD has been here though is how physical teams are allowed to get with him off-ball. There were some replays on turnovers last night that I couldn’t believe weren’t called, seems like the scouting report is just to be as physical as possible with him before he gets the entry pass because that does work, and over the course of the game the refs just kind of don’t want to call every grab or shove away from the ball that would be a fouls in a lot of situations. Not anything unique to Caruso, happens in a ton of our games.
chet has shown some great stuff so far but almost feels like you would need to play him next to a more traditional 5 in matchups like this, jokic is just way too physical.
Yes a timeout was called
He absolutely did not lol
Looks like a bottled water design
yeah i get where it’s coming from but i think there’s a high chance that people are jumping the gun.
yes big NCAA regular season games have pretty good ratings. it’s not just the tournament and then everything else is ignored.
baseball is kind of the outlier, college basketball and football are immensely popular in the USA. that’s just american sports culture, college sports have always been a big deal for a variety of reasons. a big one for football/basketball is historically there hasn’t really been any serious academy system, so the best american players in the world were playing in college before going pro. so it’s where you go to see the players who will be the stars in the next generation.
booker and KD were awful, just a tough shooting game all around. nurk played great though. winning streak was nice, just hope this one didn’t come at the cost of some missed games for Book after the ankle injury.
