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

The 2019 version of Kawhi Leonard disagrees.

Jordan was a closet homosexual.

No doubt he was sucking rod, man.

And lebron eats Anthony Davis' buttcheeks.

Both of them are complete flamers.

The Nuggets would have dismantled that team. They almost lost to Embiid and Ben Simmons.

Jordan did like wearing earrings.

Interesting, given the greatest team ever played in 1992.

Not a chance. You’re aware that Jimmy Butler was on the 76ers then, yes? The guy who has carried two mediocre teams to the Finals since then effectively by himself?

If you mean 2017, yes.

Just a reminder that the 2019 Raptors had the best player in the game that year as LeBron was hurt (healthy Kawhi), a 6 time all-star at his peak (Lowry), a 3 time all-star and former DPOY (Gasol, who completely locked up Embiid), a future 2-time all-star (Siakam), a future all-star (FVV), a 3-time All-Defensive NBA First Team (Ibaka) and the perfect 3+D role player who has won 3 titles (Green). They were also 5th in offensive rating and 5th in defensive rating in the NBA that year (although 1st in defensive rating by far after the Gasol trade).

Somebody is taking this Denver Nuggets group over that team? The team that's 5th in offensive rating and 15th in defensive rating this year? They have Nikola Jokic, who is undeniably one of the greatest bigs in NBA history, but the supporting cast (Murray, Porter, Gordon, Brown, KCP) absolutely pales in comparison to what the Raptors had. Their only other all-star on the roster is DeAndre Jordan, who is completely washed.

The Nuggets are certainly the best team in the league this season, but they don't compare to many champions in year's past. Defensively they're just not up to par with many of them. We're very much in a down period in the NBA right now.

There's a decent argument to put that Raptors team with healthy Kawhi up against any team the last decade (or at least post 2013-2014 Spurs with Kawhi/Duncan) with the obvious exception of the KD Warriors. None of LeBron's Cavs or Lakers teams had that much overall talent, though admittedly he might have been able to beat the Raptors alone through his sheer greatness.

This story isn't getting enough play. I can't imagine being a Bulls fan and hearing this. Like Mchale calling Bird trash or Bruschi calling Brady trash. It would devastate me. Should be the #1 story in country today. https://t.co/VqnnDwr6E7

So you disagree?

It's the most pathetic display of blatant insecurity that I've ever seen on CP.
