Re: NBA Thread
The AS guard selections in the East are terrible. I don’t know who hates Trae but the selections are stupid and they know it. Ben Simmons? Really?verb_to_trust wrote:Realized he has to step up since Trae isn't an all star
To leave Capela out, people simply aren’t watching. There’s a vendetta against Trae for him not to be in. That’s just obviously stupid. Clint Capela has been awesome this year.
Gallo has been epic garbage (some of it due to injury but in general he’s been awful) I don’t blame the Celtics for not really guarding him, but they didn’t want to play last night.
The Hawks aren’t .500 because of injury, some really odd coaching in the 4th Quarter and generally poor defense.

The Heat are setting the world on fire and at 15-17 are *checks notes* 1 gb of the 4 seed!

If Ben Simmons is an All Star anyway. But you’re right Capela doesn’t score enough.Monkey_Driven wrote:Capela an All-Star?!Electromatic wrote:The AS guard selections in the East are terrible.

Re: NBA Thread
Trae constantly embarrassing himself flopping is why he isn't an all star. People have noticed and are not voting for that shit over someone like Zach who is just out there working every night.

Trae is also one of the worst defenders in the league, while Simmons is one of the best.verb_to_trust wrote:Trae constantly embarrassing himself flopping is why he isn't an all star.

Yet when when he gets caught in a switch Tatum can't score on him.

Tatum is Duke to the core. Talented, entitled and soft. Punch me in the face.

In as straw poll with league executives, they were asked outside of Bradley Beal what player could change to trajectory of a playoff race. The answer:
Thadgic Johnson

Re: NBA Thread
That's a lateral move. Thad can guard multiple positions (including guys like Giannis) and makes his teammates better.bada wrote:Beal for Tatum. Keep Brown.

Re: NBA Thread
They aren't using half of their trade exception on a one year rental for a sub 500 team. They are closer to tanking the season than competing for a championship. As down as I am on Tatum it would be dumb to move him until maybe three years from now to see if he'll grow up. They want to use that trade exception on a younger player with years on his deal to grow with the two J's. Aaron Gordan or some yahoo like that.

If they could get Thad for Tristan and junk I'm down.
