Can't believe the regular season starts tonight. Just seemed like the Finals ended a couple weeks ago.



Philly vs Celtics: 6:30PM CST TNT

GSW vs Lakers: 9:00PM CST TNT

Well, yea.

KCC’s all right. It would be nice if he just started a LeBron thread where everybody could then argue about him, but he’s okay.

Heat zoned up Boston the entire game tonight and Boston had no answers. But you stick Jokic in the middle of a zone and he'll figure it out with ease.

I'll take Bam over Brown if comparing the 2nd best of each team. Bam has some offensive limitations but he doesn't hurt his team like Brown does.

Bam being absolute dogshit offensively hurt the Heat in Game 6.

They got nothing from Horford/Grant in this series. Brogdon was their best 3PT shooter in the regular season but he was injured here. Horford was a good regular season shooter but couldn't hit a shot in this series.

That's right, boo your team off the floor you clowns.

But you're comparing him to Brown. Talk about hurting your own team.

I hope at least one Boston fan kills themself tonight

The Joker is going to dominate the Heat. Glad it’s the heat and not the Celtics. I don’t have a dog in this fight and it’s going to be fun to watch.

If you have a starter playing a shit ton of minutes who is horrendously inefficient or has trouble handling the ball, regardless of position, you're ****ed.

I think Bam can matchup better than Horford would against Jokic defensively, but Jokic will still dominate.

They can shoot, but Boston should have been able to torch most of those guys defensively with their athleticism (and those guys lack of it).

He can barely dribble man

I'm aware. Still easily one of the best #2s in the league. His two way game is elite.

Nuggets avg 118 points against the Lakers who have an actual rim protector and stud C and Lebron.
