The 2020-21 NBA Thread: Raptors in 7

Once you quit watching ESPN outside the actual games, your sports IQ goes up drastically. ESPN is there to create news not report it.

I admit, I read this in SAS voice.

You know you’ve watched First Take one too many times when you can actually read that in their voices.

That’s also the basic First Take flowchart for the most part.

Bam played 30 mins for the first time this year. Had a double double and 2 blocks.

He deserves to play for a coach who would actually give him minutes consistently.

DAT Kobe tribute though. Someone was cutting onions while I was watching

Have you watched the Rockets? They’re not just good they’re entertaining. It’s worth the price of admission just to watch Harden put defenders in a popcorn machine for half the game.

I’m excited for Zhou. I remember when we had Yao and how hype that was.

Kuzma is gonna be a superstar in 4-5 years

Lonzo has been good in 4 of the last 5 games, but you won’t see the media saying much.

KD got baptized 3 times lol

Lonzo is going to be LeBron’s offsider when he bounces to the Lakers.

Definitely. I watched it work and dropped a few. Had to tell niggas not to laugh. If I was at home I probably would of dropped a lot more

Lonzo has startes to figure it out. Attacking the rim, 3 ball in rhythm. Even saw his trademark step back on Klay. Notice since he started getting shots in rhythm his scoring woes have went away. His shot wasn’t the problem it was simply getting used to the game. Then he takes over in Overtime. Great game by him. The Lakers still need a closer. Ingram isn’t there yet.

Also KD got his soul erased by that dunk lol

He should learn some more old-school post moves, he’s not a jump shooter. You know, get him going the step back fade and the shake and stuff. Lonzo is trying to do too much.

I think all that is off-season stuff. I expect him to put on 20lbs and work on finishing and scoring midrange. His shit is coming back which is good. Truth be told his inside shot is more like your typical shot. If they wanna change his shot they would erase that coming from left motion and just have him shoot straight up. We will see what happens. Lonzo is a work in process with a high upside.

I am mad Dennis Smith hasn’t played in a while. He was looking good for my Mavs. Also Harrison Barnes kills me. Some nights he looks like an All-Star. Other nights he looks like the NBA Finals Harrison Barnes. Smh

Celtics interested in AD. Woah Nelly

Who isn’t interested in AD?

There is nothing there just ESPN trying to push their big market agenda.
