NBA Discussion

[realbp]

I'm sure this won't get a lot of traction, but I have an NBA take I need to get off my chest.

Jordan Poole is awful for Golden State. He's a liability in 4th quarter situations due to his lack of defense, rebounding, shot selection, and complete reluctance to make winning plays. If Andrew Wiggins doesn't come back and Gary Payton II doesn't get cleared for the playoffs. Golden State won't/can't win a road game with Poole and DiVincenzo playing substantial minutes.

I'm not really even a Golden State fan, but my youngest is and watching this team play in a close game in the 4th quarter on the road is like watching the Huskers play a close game ANYWHERE in the 4th quarter.

NBA has been garbage since Kobe retired. I'm not sure who Poole or DiVincenzo are. HTH

poole is hard to watch

 

[1HuskerDad]

The NBA is hard to watch

FIFY😉

disagree. i enjoy watching the most athletic freaks on the planet play basketball. watching a 41-38 college basketball game is harder.

We get it. You don't like the NBA. Go fuck yourself and move along.

Poole is one of the worst defenders in the league and he has absolutely no excuse for it.

I've mostly written Golden State off. They're too bad on the road to be taken seriously as a contender even with all the benefit of the doubt they get because their core guys have been so successful

NBA has been garbage since LONG BEFORE Kobe retired. I'm not sure who Poole or DiVincenzo are. HTH

FIFY - How is the "Woke Basketball Association (WBA)" even still around?

I can't get there.

 

[Black Dean]

Thread went as expected.

 

[skersker]

I can't get there.

i just view the playoffs so differently. well see. one thing is clear to me is that its as wide open for a few teams in each conference as its been in some time.

Does anyone know what is going on with Wiggins?

Definitely. Wide open in the west right now especially.

Nope. Seems like it's extremely personal because no one has leaked it

 

[Mr.Bojangles]

NBA blows

Give me the NBA of the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s and I would be right there with you!

 

[Jim14510]

I haven't paid attention enough this year to have much of an opinion. Op makes sense to me. It's tough coming from the bottom half too.

 

[realbp]

I understand the NBA takes, expected with much of the demographic on the board.

I prefer the college game to the NBA but I really enjoy watching the NBA too. The shot making ability is astounding at that level and the athleticism is unrivaled.
