Official 2021 NBA Offseason and 2021-2022 NBA Season Thread

[Rummpd]

Who wins title?

Sadly I think the geriatric mismatched on paper Fakers somehow find a way to make it work. Nets and Bucks are the only other true primary contenders without roster changes. Nets get one seed with 63 wins

MVP: Durant wins scoring title and edges out Luka

Retired in Place Coach Award - Popovich who will probably get the all time wins and bail out

[Neo.]

Lakers probably win. would be fun to see them and new jersey duke it out in the finals. bucks might be able to give the nets a solid push in the east. not sure who can really push the Lakers in the west, unless a midseason trade happens. if somehow KP actually plays to his potential for once Dallas could make things interesting but that's unlikely.

[Dirks_Finale]

Nets win it.

Lakers went out this offseason and acquired a bunch of non shooters. I don't even see them making the Finals, tbh.

[lefty]

If Nets are healthy yhey should win it TBH

I'm really happy Giannis and this Bucks team got their title, but they did catch a break with the Nets injuries

[ambchang]

Likely Nets.

Not high on the Lakers, I can't see Davis staying healthy in a full season, they are loaded with big names, but I can't see the team meshing together. Their defence could be really good though, but their offence could be a big issue.

[Neo.]

bump, due to derp spam

So Zion had surgery for a fractured foot today. People still think his weight isn't a problem? Said it before and I'll say it again: dude isn't long for this league.

[Neo.]

im just hoping luka worked on his FT shooting and comes to camp in shape

was hard to tell how he looks since he wore a hoodie at media day today

[MultiTroll]

Flat Irving causing Nets owner to have concerns.
Yet appears his trade value is near nil as other teams are hip to his attention whore games.

Dk that I'd have the Nyets as best money bet.
I would try to trade him were i them.
CIA Popped has sucked Nets ass before.

[Killakobe81]

I also said he won't stay healthy when all the hype was going crazy ...I hate the way he walks even more than his weight. He walks like Oden did before he got hurt.

[The Gemini Method]

I'm never going to not think the Lakers will win it all, but I'm cautiously optimistic that it will be a great season. The key is AD. By the local talk, he's been really working hard this off-season. We'll see if he was telling the truth or spent his time gaming and getting married. Became a father x2. I'd say the Nets as of now. I'll revisit this when the season has a bit more time to permeate. The Bucks will be looking to repeat and I would like to see how they handle the malaise of finally winning the chip and see if Giannis can go Super Saiyan again. The beginning of the season kind of snuck up on us. Excited.

[Mr. Body]

Looks like the Lakers are doing the Rockets of the late Nineties -- when they grabbed Barkley and Pippen to go with an aging Olajuwon and Drexler. This may be even worse.

[Robz4000]

I'll be surprised if the Lakers hold up to win in the first round tbh.

[lefty]

If they were going with the TOSB theme, they should have traded for Kyle Lowry when they had the chance last season, who can at least shoot and play off the ball.

Honestly, Westbrook sucked, but Davis wasn't geat, either. I know he filled the stats... but where the fuck was he when the game started cratering? That's my thing with him. He's so soft. He's uncompetitive. When things head south and they need a hero, he drifts around the perimeter and lets LeBron do everything.

[Rummpd]

Perfect night in NBA as Nets get crushed by Bucks and Lakers lose to small team like GS. Now if both arranged teams just lose early in playoffs we will have a perfect season.

[MultiTroll]

Celts @ Knicks i bet the over so watched til they made it then stuck around to see who would win as the Knicks competely choked a 10 point lead.

OT honestly i think 50% of SpursTalk could play better then half these clowns.
It's like a YMCA 3 point chuckfest between two totally disinterested teams. Next to no passing, assists, plays.
Just cross half court and see who's turn it is to chuck up some brick.

Maybe they dedicated the game to Kirby Bryant.

Not so fast son. I'm actually worried about the Dubs. Jordan Poole is gonna win MIP. They still have Wiggins coming off the bench. Klay the flamethrower is waiting in the wings. Otto Porter is playing well for them. If Wiseman improved over the summer they may have retooled on the fly. Savvy old man Iggy is back too.

I got them as a top 4 seed. They'll be a problem when Klay gets back.

PS - Spurs suck though :lol

...it's pure shit. I wouldn't hit a dog in the ass with it.
And the NFL ain't no better. The QB standing there (early out of the huddle) trying to entice the defense to go offside so they can have a play where there is no risk to it.

And MLB is a disgrace all it's own. Setting a man on second base in extra innings. It's humiliating. How can they do that and mean it? Allowing players to frame pitches to delude the umpiring then back that up by keeping that (framing stat) and the announcers cite it and praise it.

It's all garbage.

[Texas_Ranger]

whoever in the Dallas FO or in general believed in Porzingis should go kill himself... I actually think the Spurs and Mavs are the 2 most retarded teams in the league. Pretty sad.

[Mr. Body]

Lol, the Phoenix announcers keep calling Alperen Sengun "Sin-jin." Part of their job is to just get the fucking names right. Imagine being that lazy.

[Bynumite]

Not only are the Lakers a poorly constructed team, but Lebron probably won't ever sniff another ring with AD has his 2nd option. The guy's made out of glass.

The fact that he lasted the entire bubble run without an injury is nothing short of a miracle tbh.

[MultiTroll]

SGA in your face LakerPhan with the 32 foot trey.

Can't believe next OKC possession LakerRef rung up baby face.

It's not that he's injury prone so much as he's soft as fuck. Dude fills up the stat sheet then disappears when it matters. He should have been dominating this game down the stretch.

Read an article that said his MOM is his nutritionist and cook.
FFS if that is true.
Agree, short of a diet and exercise Intervention he is washed. And agree he may already have diminished to a much lower ceiling. Don't think Porzy or Embiid status is possible now but hey hope he surprises us.

Hardaway a moronic signing. That 2 on 1 break where he failed to get the ball to a wide open Porzy was just sad.
Then that D at the end of reg AND the end of OT.
In OT, unless he was supposed to be down on the block trying to rump hump Anthony Davis......wtf was he doing leaving Reaves 20 feet wide open.

Porzy looked very good tonite.

The Cavs have been squashing teams this season.

Lakers Rockets good but looking for LakerRef to step up big in these last 3 minutes.

and it continues....another ghost foul vs Lebron.

Now obvious Flagrant on Avery Bradley, lets see how LakerRef scores it. LOL jump ball.

Rockets get jump ball, no call on light shove by Lebron on drive, next OBVIOUS touching of rim by Lebron on Rockets shot. Replay camera.
No goaltend called, jump ball again. :lol

Flamer ball.
Well done, LakerRef!

Lakers will get bounced in round 1 if they face the Suns or Warriors. If they play the Jazz in round 1 then they will get an upset, but I don't see them going past round 2 because they will face either Suns or Warriors.

The Lakers are pretty much the same team they were last year granted they have Westbrook, but he doesn't solve the problems they had with Booker last year. Suns will carve them up again. Ayton also neutralizes Davis.

I would love to see the Jazz take them out, but I just don't trust them. They remind a lot like the Derozan Raptors. They will find a way to choke like they always do. Both Donavan and Gobert just come across as mentally weak in pressure situations and will melt the moment Lebron has a great game.

Lakers beat the Suns with Davis last year tbh, though it might've been more of a tossup. Davis presented a lot of matchup problems.

Jazz are better coached than the Lakers, much deeper, and outside LeBron and AD have better players across the board. They can also play any style while the Lakers can only play slow. Would be shocked if a series between the two went past five games (albeit the refs could have a big effect on the series).

Would be shocked if a series between the two went past five games (albeit the refs could have a big effect on the series).

Lakers also benefitted from Chris Paul getting hurt earlier on in that series since it allowed them to jump out to a 2-1 lead. Chris was hurt throughout that series after taking that hard hit in game 1 to his shoulders. So, it works both ways. They were still going to lose that series if both teams were at 100 percent. Suns also blew out the Lakers this year with ease. Outside of CP3 they are younger and already have the experience of beating Lebron so psychologically they are not fazed by him or the Lakers.

The Jazz talent wise have the deeper team and better coached than the Lakers but with a young team like them it always comes down to the mental game. That series last year against the Clippers was an epic choke job. They should have won that series especially after Kawhi went down. That to me showed me they were not mentally strong. I question their mental toughness against the Lakers because Lebron has a history of breaking young teams mentally and I have seen teams fold against him in the playoffs when they should have won.

Klay Thompson looks washed tbh. I know he's gotta play himself into game shape but I don't know if it'll make much difference.

[DMC]

Klay is a motion offense guy, he has to get into game shape and you cannot do that without being pushed by competition. All the practices won't do it, he can slack off there, can't in the real game though. I think he'll be ok if he doesn't get reinjured. That dunk (or lay in, don't recall) where he didn't land well was a bit scary. I'd tell him to 86 the highlights and get in game shape.

[ambchang]

He’s not wrong, which speaks to the greatness of Duncan.

Don’t agree with lucking out though. The spurs knew what skills they want to develop and draft the right players and develop them properly. Parker, ginobili and Kawhi were clearly targeted picks. Dejounte being this good, being drafted as a late first rounder (along with Derrick white) is nothing short of amazing. Vassell seems to be an incredible pick at that position as well.

Right, and I think they will rebuild fully and be contenders in a few years. It's hard to argue with a track record like the Spurs have, but Horry is hell bent on doing it with his claim that they will never be relevant again.
