OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA THREAD -May 2021

Here you go again? Very pessimistic. Exactly what has happened that you knew was going to happen? Are you suggesting the Blazers will not win tomorrow?
Have you ever really posted a positive comment? Do you not understand the Blazers have a healthy roster that can beat pretty much any team in the league on any given night?
Where does all this negative energy you have come from?

 

Porzingis is so bad. Doncic literally playing with Hardaway as his no.2

 

Yes. LeBron has definitely lost a step and can’t get to the basket at will over and over like he used to. A MAJOR drop in production this year. Career playoff lows of 20 ppg (he averaged 27 ppg just last year) and 5.7 rpg. He’s also averaging more turnovers than ever. He hasn’t made this many miscues since 2006. His team is up 2-1 because he’s being carried by Anthony Davis. Father Time is undefeated.

 

The Bucks haven’t exactly won the title yet and we haven’t been eliminated. So maybe too early to decide which team did the better job.

 

What other superteam did he drop 50 on?

 

Yeah I’ve always kinda felt he was way overrated. I mean sure he’s like 7’3” and can create for himself and he’s long and disruptive. But he’s highly overrated and nowhere near some kind of superstar talent. If he’s a team #1 option they’re in trouble.

 

I can understand disappointment. But so much hate for Blazers as a team and individual players? I mean, if they are all shit, why post here?

 

The one that can't play defense.

 

Even an old dog like Nate McMillan tries some new tricks: “I can’t put a finger on it, bro,’’ Rose said of Randle’s struggles. “They’re doubling from weird spots. Sometimes from the top, sometimes baseline. “

 

Reminder:

 

Do you think the price Milwaukee paid was that high? Three very late first round picks and a couple older mediocre vets?

 

How about CJ and a first round pick? Would have had to guarantee our pick to Houston. We ended up losing the damn thing anyway.

 

Of course we probably could have got Harden for that price and another pick if we involved a third team.

 

and once again, as you very often do, you sidestep to a straw man argument

 

#FireTheDallasCoachForNotUsingPorzingasCorrectlyItsHISFault

 

Look at you going out of your way to mention his career low points and rebounds, yet fail to bring up his career high average of assists. You purposely didn’t leave that out right? I can’t believe I’m actually debating this topic with you.

 

Hmm:

Sounds like he learned some things under Vogel in Indiana

 

His assists are basically the same as last year at 9.3 up from 8.8. His points are down from 27.6 to 20.7. His rebounds are down from 10.8 to 5.7. That’s a MAJOR drop in production.
