Go Sixers!

 

Are you mocking MDC b/c Sixers are 0-2?  Or a completely clueless Sixers fan since they already lost earlier tonight?

The Sixers won't lose another game all season. Mark it down.

Lakers will be in the lottery :lol:

Yup.  Life long Lakers fan here but I'm fed up with Lebron and the whole team and the way they traded away youth and went completely old.  No future assets (no good young players and no good draft picks).  I'm cheering for Luka Doncic and the Mavericks these days.

Why do you think that?

Luka is way past Carmelo in terms of skills and playing game winning basketball.  He's top 5 probably in the NBA already.  Doncic is (or Giannis is) or will soon be the face of the NBA unless Zion or Ja surpass him.

Warriors have the deepest roster in the league. Their leadership is stealing at this point, embarrassment of young talent.

My gawd, I'm now watching basketball. Of course when I am betting zero and have a chance to win $20,000 a night :dunno:

It's crazy how much I don't care about the NBA anymore. 2019, even 2020 before the bubble, I was very into it. Maybe all the woke finally got to me. Loved hearing all the pre game plea for Birttney Griner :lol:.

I still watch because.. sports.. basketball etc. 

I also think the full blown players running the show, crying about where and who they are playing with or who they want to play with has taken its toll. It's too much to bother keeping trakc of which players went where

If there is any league that has ever proven a coach doesn't matter it is the NBA.

100% player driven league. 

Doesn't matter who the Celtics have as coach. If they want to win, they try hard.

Bill Fitch? KC Jones? Sock Rivers?  C'mon man

I think it only matter now when they need an excuse for losing and I do think players can be tired of a “coach” and stop trying. But just about any replacement will get them playing again

Well, they've looked pretty terrible so far. I'm sure they'll figure it out but, yeah, not great.

Cuban wasting the prime years of Luka away - damn shame. Will not be shocked to see him bolt when his contract is up.

Dallas Mavericks should have kept Porzingis and Jalen Brunson.  They would have 1 superstar (Doncic) and two more all-star level players (or very very close to it).  This roster sucks, and I hate what they've done in their failure to surround Doncic.

Porzingis has a player option next year. Maybe they could get him back. or maybe they could go after Jerami Grant and Caris Levert, both UFAs.

Those are all good options.  Hopefully they get a player of that caliber. Thanks
