{{{NBA}}} 2021 - 2022 season OFFICIAL THREAD

phx and golden state both looked weak as fuck to me all year.

dallas got a great shot to get to the finals but boston will kill either squad

 

Softden and CPFail have both crashed and burned... again. There's a smile on my face. Two of the most overrated MFs to ever play the game (Harden moreso).

 

At least CP3's career isn't in tatters, like Rajon Rondo's after he pulled a gun on his baby mama

If nothing else, Patrick Beverley is an interesting interview. Did well on the talking head circuit.

 

marcus smart out tonight and horford too. horford in covid protocol

 

Orlando gets the first pick

 

Somebody needed to rip Paul for being the loser that he is. Glad Bev did so.

The media has been kissing Paul's ass ever since his Wake Forrest days.

FIVE blown 2-0 leads. Five. Five!

Fucking loser.

 

Dallas sucks

 

I’ve always disliked all the dirty shit Paul would pull. He goes after the nuts like Andrew Golota.

Now I didn’t like how Pat Bev pushed CP3 from behind after the play, but I would like to see more guys get even with him on the court for all the shit he does.








He could have easily hurt Giannis in the finals when he pushed him on the alley-oop, but luckily Giannis didn’t get hurt. Paul’s also one of the most shameless floppers.

 

Paul's a piece of shit.

The career comparisons to Isiah should end.

While I'd probably rather have CP3 over Zeke in the reg season, in a big series, I would rather have Zeke 10/10 times.

Chris is a loser.

 

Horford out of the bullshit protocol and cleared to play

 

Boston without the rona looks like the gratist team of are times

 

miami gettin that ass whipped

 

Spo got completely out-coached here

 

boston over dallas

 

Further to this I’ve been very impressed with JJ Reddick as an analyst. There’s a clip where he breaks down Phoenix’s shot profile which was genuinely interesting and insightful. Between that and Bev speaking freely, Stephen A copped a Joe Rogan style humbling.

I think once SAS and his ilk get phased out for some of these newer analysts, bball coverage is looking up.

 

Dallas trying to out-midget ball Dubs again, and inexplicably the Dubs are countering with bully ball which allowed them to make a comeback

 

Mark Aguirre rolling over in his grave

 

Dallas blew that 1 in the 3rd quarter. And probably a shot at winning the series

 

Surprised how big Looney has come up in these recent games. He was huge in the 6th game against Memphis, and yesterday.

Despite too much 3 point jacking in the modern NBA for my liking, the Warriors are still fun to watch because of their ball movement (and Curry’s drives to the hoop)

 

DALLAS MAVERICKS - Blew a Golden Opportunity in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals, Up 19, Only to LOSE...

Rarely Has REED Seen a STREAKIER Shooting Team Than the Mavs; They Either Make EVERYTHING as They Did in Game 7 vs Phoenix (& the 1st Half of Yesterday's Game 2), or They Miss EVERYTHING, as They Did in Game 1 vs. GS and the 2nd Half of Game 2...There's Almost NEVER Any Middle Ground w/the Mavs...

Streak Shooting Notwithstanding, the Mavs 2nd Half Defense was ATROCIOUS!!!...Countless UNCONTESTED Layups Off the Dribble...@ 1 Point, Klay Received the Rock Behind the 3pt Line and Dribbled In Uncontested...Luka and Brunson Both Collapsed Initially, Then DISENGAGED...They Both ASSumed the Other Would Defend Klay and NEITHER of Them Ended Up Actually Doing It...Unacceptable...

They're Also Making Kevan Looney Look Like WILTfuckingCHAMBERLAIN...Mavs Post Players Want NO SMOKE w/Looney Whatsoever...The 2nd Half Defensive "Effort" was PISS POOR, to Say the Least...

That Said, the Mavs LOST Game 1 vs Utah, then Lost the First 2 Games of the Phoenix Series...It AIN'T Over Yet, but Game 3 is Obviously MUST-WIN...Also, to State the Obvious, Luka Doncic is the Motherfuckin' TRUTH!!!...


GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS - While REED's Openly Rooting for the Home Team Dallas Mavericks, He Has to Admit it's SCARY AF Competing Against Golden State...Thing Is, There's an INEVITABILITY to Playing Against Them; NO Lead is Safe and You KNOW, Without a Shadow of a Doubt, a RUN is Coming...

Luka's the BEST Player in the Series, but the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and Arguably the 5th and 6th NEXT Best Players Are Rocking GS Jersey's...


MIAMI HEAT - REED's Getting Sick and Tired of "Heat Culture" and Hearing About How "Tough" They Are...TRUE Tough Guys Don't Go Around REMINDING People How Tough They Are...What's UNDERSTOOD Doesn't Need to Be EXPLAINED...

Jimmy Butler's Underrated for Sure and Bam Adebayo Needs More Touches, But REED Thinks the Heat Have Brought a Butter Knife to a Gun Fight in the Eastern Conference Finals...


BOSTON CELTICS - Top to Bottom, the Most COMPLETE Team Remaining in the Playoffs...

Like the Mavs, the Celtics are STREAKY AF in Terms of Perimeter Shooting, But They MORE Than Make Up for it Defensively, Especially When Marcus Smart and Robert Williams are Playing...w/Those 2 on the Floor, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown Become the 3rd and 4th Best Defensive Players On the Team, Which is Saying A LOT Considering Both of Them are Top 10 2-Way Players, in REED's Opinion...

REED Fully Expects Boston to Be Up 3-1 Heading Back to Miami, the Heat Will Muster a PRIDE Win and Get Eliminated in 6...Then Boston Beats GS or the Mavs in the NBA Finals...

Miami bout to backdoor sweep Boston

 

Miami looking really impressive so far

 

Tatum acted like he blew out his shoulder, goes to the locker room, five minutes later he's hopping out of the tunnel

 

Kidd refusing to play Boban for rim protection and rebounding

 

Roy Tarpley rolling over in his grave

 

interested to see if wiggins and looney continue playing this well in the finals.

 

Spo can't coach an offense

 

The offense is atrocious

 

This game is extremely ugly
