Lakers vs Nuggets: 6:30PM

Suns vs Warriors: 9PM

Both on TNT

Pippen was surely one of the ones most affected by the Bulls stats guys cooking the books for MJ and could testify to the effect directly. I don’t see any reason not to believe him myself.

I don't see any reason you wouldn't kill yourself if it meant that Lebron would become the consensus GOAT.

Him becoming the consensus GOAT is only a matter of time, so there will be no need for such things.

Bill Simmons believes this year the NBA Playoffs were not good. And that's with the Celtics winning it all! ⬇️https://t.co/bRE4qLKW7V

Even Bill Simmons doesn’t want to talk about those playoffs that just happened. I suppose we could talk about one of the weakest drafts ever next week though.

Yes, your confidence has really been on display for a while now!

Since the 2016 Finals, I’d agree.

Yea, that's why your insecurity STILL shows even in regards to Curry and the Warriors, more or less MJ.



Here we go again though:

"Championships are a team accomplishment"

But also:

"Lebron officially became the GOAT when he beat the 2016 Warriors ALL BY HIMSELF (lie)"

I hated Curry and the Warriors long before LeBron vanquished them and sent them scurrying for KD to save them and I couldn’t be more overjoyed to see their dynasty at an end. Unfortunate that it didn’t come at the hands of the 2019 Raptors but the Celtics let the whole world down two years ago by choking.

Steve Kerr says he was blown away by how hard LeBron practices.

Kerr: “I went to Ty [Lue] and [Erik Spoelstra] and said 'Is this normal?'”

Spoelstra: “Everyday. Every drill. Every walk-through. Everyday.”

Nah, it's a changing of the guard. It's exciting to see new superstars step up since the NBA too often moves from one dynasty to the next. Luka and Ant and sga and jokic are awesome to watch. The huge problem was injuries and blowouts, and Simmons would especially feel that since the Celtics had a snoozer of a playoff run because of injuries

Can you even go a week without being a propagandist? It's the ****ing offseason, give it a rest.

I'd like to take this moment to pat myself on the back. I know basketball. I wanted to trade Giddey last offseason at this time. Looking back it would have behoved the Thunder to trade him then as he would of had more value but no complaints with Caruso. Then Ive always hated Poku. Never thought he was even an NBA player outside of a fringe 10th man. Wanted to get rid of him even after his first year. Thunder traded him this year and the Hornets just waived him. I told everybody who would listen Chet would be good and he is not very injury prone. Guy gets 2nd in ROY to the best rookie in the league since Lebron and Chet plays EVERY SINGLE GAME of the season.

BWillie is always wrong.

It's not the offseason for LeBron, especially judging by what they're saying about his training sessions. Only a few weeks away from carrying the US to another gold.
