paul carruthers Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 Just got a reminder from SportsCenter that the NBA regular season is just 2 weeks away (oh my), so why not start the new NBA thread. Don't know how much intrigue there will be when it's the Lakers vs. the field? Maybe the intrigue comes from the GOAT argument between Lebron and MJ? Btw, where are the mentions for Bill Russell whenever the GOAT topic comes up? Apparently I have many questions, but I do like that the season will be shortened to 72 games. Maybe that could become a permanent fixture for the regular seasons in the future.... Quote

paul carruthers Posted December 31, 2020 Author Posted December 31, 2020 So far I agree with Charles Barkley, the Heat suck without Jimmy Butler... Quote

paul carruthers Posted January 4, 2021 Author Posted January 4, 2021 ^^ ankle injury, he's still with Miami... Quote
chef free Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 Bill Russell got more rings than fingers! Quote

paul carruthers Posted February 5, 2021 Author Posted February 5, 2021 Too early to predict the near future, but when did Utah get so good & can they really challenge Lebron and the Lakers? Quote
paul carruthers Posted February 12, 2021 Author Posted February 12, 2021 There's a brick laying contest in Houston tonight, but more importantly, when will the Heat ditch those awful road jerseys... Quote
paul carruthers Posted April 9, 2021 Author Posted April 9, 2021 Heat win ugly, but a sweep of the Lakers is still pretty good in my book. Hopefully, Oladipo isn't seriously injured... Quote
paul carruthers Posted May 12, 2021 Author Posted May 12, 2021 For whatever reasons, I think I'm worried about the Lakers & how they've fallen to the 7th spot in the West. And a little bit confused, because I still have no idea about this 7 through 10 play-in format & if that will work. Maybe I agree with Lebron that whoever thought of that shit needs a new job...

paul carruthers Posted May 22, 2021 Author Posted May 22, 2021 That first half of the Heat game was a bit of everything--from "bowling shoe ugly" to somewhat entertaining. Hope the second half shows better execution from both squads... Quote
Strider Posted May 23, 2021 Posted May 23, 2021 Nobody's going to remember these last two seasons. Quote
paul carruthers Posted May 23, 2021 Author Posted May 23, 2021 ^^ Because of co-vid you mean? One thing I'll always remember that's true--never trust the Clippers in the playoffs... 🤣 Quote
Strider Posted June 5, 2021 Posted June 5, 2021 Sports have been so far off my radar lately that I just now found out the Lakers lost Thursday night and got knocked out of the playoffs. I could barely muster a shrug of the shoulders. Anybody but the Clippers...that's my mantra for the rest of the playoffs. Quote

LedZeppfan1977 Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 What a win for the Clippers in Utah!!!!!! No Kawai and they win. PG went nuts. Go Clippers. Quote
LedZeppfan1977 Posted June 19, 2021 Posted June 19, 2021 Clippers in West finals. I expect them to win. But would be good if Leonard were back? Quote

My brother is a Pistons fan and he and his Pistons buddies were very excited last night. The Western Conference Finals are a lose-lose for me. I hate the Clippers and I hate that sniveling Chris Paul. I wish both teams could lose. I am left cheering for Milwaukee basically…or Atlanta. Whichever team makes it from the West, I hope they lose to the Bucks or the Hawks. Quote
