Sup y'all. I'm ready to watch some NBA basketball and see Paul George and Myles Turner throw down some sweet dunks.

Hi everybody. I enjoy these threads, and I always learn something new and/or get a hearty chuckle out of them. A little about me... Aquarius, enjoys long walks and hot takes. I mostly lurk, and recently had my dumb username changed to a slightly less-dumb username. Advanced statistics make my head hurt. The Houston Rockets are both my pride and my shame.

EvanTH posted:I think the context is LeBron as GOAT, which is a mandatory Jordan comparison so he needs a single moment to compare to Jordan to Kerr, hitting the shot over Ehlo, hitting the shot over Russell type of thing. Basically Simmons has moved completely away from talking basketball and is doing cultural analysis which is more about How Me And My Friends Feel vs. anything factual and arguable. Monty Williams was really good at getting Davis in spots to put up $tat$. The team last season, even if healthy, was not a team that fit the style Gentry wanted to run and I said that during the regular season of Monty's last year with the team. However, this year's crew is much better suited to that style, even if they no longer have the shooters they once did. They can at least sometimes get stops and have more options for ball-handlers + play makers on the break. I think they will not only have a better record, but also just plain look better on the court this season than last, regardless of health.

I posted in the old thread a couple times. Love the content in here and hope to contribute more. Hot Take: Terry Rozier has an break out year and becomes the 6th man for the Celtics.

NBA Injury Report is a real good podcast y'all should check out. Lillard MVP and leads the Blazers to the western conference finals where they lose to the Warriors in 6 because of course they do. Quote this in 82 games.

The problem is that Jordan's shot over Russell is literally the only truly "iconic" moment in NBA history. Everything else pales in comparison including this block which was amazing and incredible

I likely won't post there but I'm optimistic for FSU this year and they should be pretty fun to watch. Isaac and Bacon should be enough to get them to the big dance this year.
