NBA Season is Returning This Year!!!!!!!

Yep, and it's going to be a "What if?" c'hip.

Nah that only applies if Lebron wins:lol:

The most recent example- It's amazing how differently people might talk about Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes right now if an offensive lineman most football fans can't name didn't get hurt before the Super Bowl.

:lol: That was just an excuse for that loss, the Bucs defense had just did Rodgers and Brees the same way so Mahomes was next

Those guys are old enough to be Mahomes's father... I am not saying the outcome would have been different but it's hard to believe that the injury had nothing to do with the offense being worse than it was all year and it was just the Bucs defense.
 
That wasn't the case when Toronto won the title?

Or arguably last year?
That's the case every year and in every sport.

Every year there are injuried players and fans crying that their team would have won it all if 'insert name here' wasn't hurt. Injuries are just a part of the game.


Exactly!

This many teams usually aren't battling injuries with major stars

From Harden, AD, Lebron, Mitchell, Jamal Murray, Embiid, CP3

Milwaukee is the healthiest team and they've even lost a starter
 
Over the last 20 years, the only teams that can claim only one star in their prime

2019 Raptors
2011 Mavericks
2004 Pistons
Who was the other star in 2006?

and just for fun who was the other star in 2014?

I mean Tim manu and parker retired all less than 2 years later.

when I hear star, that’s basically first team only. Both east and west.

niggas like draymond and Ron artest ain’t STARS

‘Rams only scored 3 points when they lost to the Patriots, undesfeated Patriots team only scored 14 points when they lost to the Giants
 
Spurs 2nd title team (2003). Maybe even two others. Also, asterisk goes to Raptors.

I thought about adding the spurs...Tony Parker 6-time all stars and other players made all star games... tony parker is kind of underappreciated but I don't know if I'd call him a star and like you said.. he wasnt won on the 2003 team and Robinson was washed by 2003.

I'd be willing to call all those Spurs teams one superstar and REALLY really good role players that probably made several all star games because of playing with Duncan.

Yea. 2003 Parker was 2nd best player as a 20 year old Frenchie averaging 15ppg and getting benched in the postseason for Speedy Claxton.

2014? Tony Parker made the all star team that season but I'm cool with not calling him a star.. he's an on the bubble "star"

I think those Spurs teams were probably just perfectly constructed teams because Duncan was top 5 of all-time. Take him out and put in any other all-time great at the position (Karl Malone, Barkley) and those teams don't win shit. I'd argue if you take him out (call him a center) and put in any guy you consider a top 10 center of all time (say a prime shaq) and they don't win titles.. because at the end of the games, you couldnt count on shaq to get the big bucket so you're left depending on parker or someone...nope
 
Lavine was a streaky player, wasn't considered a winner, who improved his game and became a All Star after

Did you check out Lavine's numbers and what they were prior to the past three years?

They were both 18/19 point scorers. Lavine went to a bad team where he could shoot as much as he wanted. What Timmy Jr got at the time wasn't that far off from his production and the market. CJ McCollum made $27+ mil. DeMar DeRozan, around the same.
CJ McCollum and Demar Derozen are far better players than Tim Jr. If Mavs had them instead of Tim Jr Luka would have a ring right now.
 
Exhibit e. New Texas bill hb3979. remove teaching of any non white people in history. Removes dr king from history. Removes native Americans. Remove Fredrick Douglas from history. Good luck Texas. The future land of the coons. Y’all got guns too but ya might be fighting ya own kind by the time they be finishing programming.
results. Make Texas the land of the coons or push all non white people out of Texas so it can be their own.


Ain't nobody scared of a coon or a cac. That's for damn sure. Ask Willie D......
 
Playing with a loaded deck. 3 superstars and guys like Griffin... he's not really washed yet.. If Harden doesn't play, Griffin can easily give you 20+ a night
Easily. The kind of athletic
Freak he was you don’t lose that overnight. May not be completely where he was when came into the league, but Blake was a crazy athletic in his prime.

Not really washed. He just evolved his game.

Even without Harden I'm not sure he can give 20+ a night every night tho.. you can see he isn't the same player.
 
The game has changed and it really comes into play in the playoffs. Bucks can't shoot. You gotta do everything else perfectly in this era when you don't have shooters. 4-25 from 3... bricklayers.
Like I said...they will bounce back. Bucks shoot way better than this.

I'm saying that as a Pistons' fan. Everyone in the league assumed he was washed because of his numbers on our sorry ass squad. He was just in a bad situation. He's not washed.
