NBA Season - now 24/25

Adams was never really a big part of the Pelicans' offence, and combined with injuries didn't have the season we all hoped for.

The man from Rotorua continues to bank those cheques though....

When you look at his Per36 numbers , it was much of a drop off at all, same rebounding and blocks rate, 2.5 assists, he just didn't get many shots (and clearly shot FTS terribly).
He's definitely overpaid for that role, when you have Zion making shots at 60% , you just need someone banging the boards and defending

So the Suns get the winner of the Lakers and Warriors?
Yup. If LA get fit they will be a scary match up for Phoenix, one I don't think they will survive

@shark said in NBA Season 20/21:
@canefan It's a scary proposition either way.
I’d definitely want the Warriors in a series, but perhaps not in a one off game.

Yeah. If AD and LBJ are playing, the Sun's will not win a 7 game series. The Warriors will need 4 lights out games from Steph because he's unlikely to get enough help from his team mates

I'm not confident in this iteration of the Suns advancing in a 7 game series against most of the WC teams, even including the Warriors. They've taken dramatic strides this season but Book has too often struggled to close out games and CP3 isn't going to do that several times in a series either.

Too young, not ready

@canefan that too.
We made some fantastic moves last off season in acquiring Paul and Crowder, but a talented young core of Book, Ayton and Bridges needs more than a couple of wily vets and some lumbering white guys to make the step up to genuine contenders. Maybe, just maybe, some play offs experience will be enough of a boost to spur them on next season but more likely we need another All Star calibre player who can immediately score 20 a night.

Hornets got raped today. Imagine what the boss man had to say.
I can not express my glee at LeBron being in the play-in games. I know it's very unlikely but Steph, fucking go son!

@voodoo because he complained about the play-in tournament. But only when it became apparent that he was going to have to play in it.
He's a phenom mate. No doubt about it. He's also a hell of a person. But fuck LeBron.

Pfft, weak reason! The play-in does suck for the team that finishes 7th! I totally agree with him.
But I agree he wouldn't have said anything if it didn't affect him personally

@voodoo I can't stand the flops. He started the modern super team trend. He owns the pop culture media (he loses and plays shit but yet his highlights dominate ESPN, Bleacher report etc). His shoes are cool though( I got jr his first pair and I covet them often, shame he's size 13.5 and I'm a 12). I'll take my J's though, thanks.
In seriousness he just represents everything that a player should be. He's the most athletic player ever and his pass first attitude is what you coach your kids. But fuck LeBron.

Started the modern super team trend? Don't you mean Boston Celtics' big three?

@canefan come on, only Garnett was a franchise player. The heat had Bosh, Wade and LeBron. All 3 could have had their own team. Paul Pierce on his best day was never a player to build a franchise around. Yes he was Mr Boston for forever but he wasn't a Wade or Lebron. Ray Allen, fleetingly maybe.
You can argue that Bosh was like Pierce at the Raptors. Both were the face of their teams etc.
I'm just a hater aren't I...

@raznomore @voodoo it was interesting that Lebron also changed his tune about the play-in just yesterday.
He was very critical of it a while back and talked about someone should lose their job etc, but the play-in is being widely supported by many ex-NBA players turned commentators. It’s also brought a bit of extra buy in from the fans.
So instead of continuing his criticism he just talked up Steph and him being the MVP etc.
Smart man that Lebron
