We did go to the ECF but after that?  

Before that we hadn't gone there, so as bad as people are finding Travis, this is our peak for the last 50 years lol. Give man some props for that, we're still figuring out our current situation that'll prolly take at least another year to get through.

follow up question, when he throws pool balls at his kids, how often does he hit them?   

I really hope you're a kid and not a grown a** man cause this is sad - Hawks won't go looking his way anyways if we believe Landrys Hawks DNA requirement.

Just get us some big guys pls Landry, would love to see Trae play with an elite big in his career.

just answer me one question, can he shoot 40%+ from 3?

He can physically abuse his partner and throw pool balls at his kids - dude shouldn't be in the league

I'm not talking about tanking but I am suggesting that they overhaul this roster

How would you overhaul the roster?

Top 20 rn, and I can see him finishing top 5.

1. Magic

2. Curry

3. O Rob

4. Trae

5. Isiah Thomas

He's one of the best to every dish it out, can score, just needs a few titles and he'll be considered up there

Welp, 27 shots I expect 40 you do the math. 

If you took 30 you'd probably score 15 against Magic

Too shallow of a way to think about a complex game

Agree. I excuse the shooting right now due to injury.  I'm more disappointed by the fact he has only 1 steal in the last 3 games despite playing 30+ mpg on average.  The 7 steals in the prior 3 games made me hope he might be breaking out in terms of getting more active as a disruptor.  Now, not sure what to think.  SSS so wait and see is my general approach and seems to fit here.

I wonder if the lack of steals are due to a lack of opportunity to grab them with the way Orlando was playing, and Hunter was just in the right place at the right time the other games due the opponents mistakes vs Hunter creating these opportunities himself.

Nique who is constantly yelling bad shot whenever an opponent misses a shot even if it's a wide open uncontested 3

Nique's hilarious, no way you can hate on this lol

Honestly AJ is riding the bench because of a blood fued between Adrian Sr. and Quin.   Quin beat him out for the Utah Job and A. Sr. Was not happy about it.   Claimed that Quin only got the job because of Silver Spoons.  Then After Quin left Utah, A Sr. went for the Utah Job again... and supposedly Quin said something that got them to look elsewhere.   Thus... A blood feud.   He only lets AJ play when we play Milwaukee. 

 

 

 

 

Nahh that's way too petty for Quin I'd hope - Aj prolly just hasn't looked good in practice or they're trying to keep him healthy for the Siakam trade.

Remember this summer when he went batshit crazy on X and predicted the rapture was coming?  Well, what do people do when the end of the world is nigh?   Whatever they want.  I'll tell you what they don't do when end of the world is nigh?  They don't work on their game, eat right or lift weights.

He probably showed up to camp looking like Jeff Bridges in The Big Lebowski or like fat Thor in Endgame.

 

 

Anyone know how long it takes to get into shape after a summer of rapture  FOMO/YOLO?

Could be this too LOL. He should be good by December if he gotta get into shape, but I'm hoping it's not that. Being outta shape in your 2nd year is wild, don't want another Omari situation

Why are we out here having to defend Trae again??? This $hit pops out from left field every year and it’s more annoying than when I go at you Saff! I gotta be honest..

Look folks,

Trae isn’t going anywhere so just get nice and comfortable and enjoy the show. He’s the best passer in the NBA, you never trade that, not ever!!!

Trae takes a month to get going every year, and every year we gotta hear this hating go on.

Some people like living in the moment a lil too much, get angsty when Trae has a whole season of downward trending behavior. Nov - Mid Dec I do not care at all, especially cause he's doing all the right things on the court - just missing shots.

Trae discussions get so silly

Paying Devin nearly 30 million a year doesn't sound like the best idea, kind of seems like a massive overpay unless I'm missing something.

This dude and DJM are making almost the same money?

What did the pink unis do to anyone lol

He's gritty

Grit aint translate to defense yet though  Hopefully this season he's much improved on that end cause it was painful seeing how many points he was giving up this year.

He works beautifully on offense next to Trae though so can't complain too much.

JJ still our future starter though I believe

It ain't just Grant Hill. It's Kerr and the other coaches too. 

They should be banned from the city too then, letting emotional decisions get in the way of having a top 2 pg on the team.

Devin Booker, D'Aaron Fox, Damian Lillard and Kyrie Irving have all also expressed interest in playing for Team USA in Paris. Anthony Edwards and Mikal Bridges are also expected receive consideration from the World Cup team. In addition, Bam Adebayo and Desmond Bane are expected to be considered for the roster.

If Fox goes to the Olympics over Trae, Grant Hill should never be allowed in ATL again.

The people:

15. Anthony Davis (10th)

14. Donovan Mitchell (20th)

13. Jimmy Butler (12th)

12. Damian Lillard (14th)

11. Devin Booker (9th)

10. Anthony Edwards (Ranked 15th by B/R's NBA Staff)

9. LeBron James (7th)

8. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (11th)

5. Jayson Tatum (5th)

4. Nikola Jokić (1st)

3. Stephen Curry (6th)

2. Luka Dončić (3rd)

1. Giannis Antetokounmpo (2nd)

Lookin at this id move Shai and Ant out of the top 10, and put Trae at 9. 

Book ain't better, Shai ain't better, Ant ain't better

Trae clears so many of these dudes, putting him at 30 is totally braindead to me.

2 hours ago, AHF said:

he has scored fewer points and been less efficient for his career.  He can't playmake like Trae and is nowhere near a leader.  He misses 25-30% of every season.  His team has won 2 games outside the first round of the playoffs.  His teams have won a higher % of games without him than with him

Have the happiest of birthdays!!!

Hope you have many cakes and pleasant times

I thought the same as Noah growing up..

Why do they call it world champs? It’s in the U.S. it’s misleading…

Why is KD emo ing like somebody told the truth.  

 

Good god I’m going to a Suns game next year and making him cry. That dude is so weak it’s not even funny, he ain’t a man he’s a boy.

 

The world thing at least made some sense when the US had the best players. There would be like 50 Americans and a spectacular Euro..

 

Those days are gone, it’s 50/50 at best but overall the international team’s best 5 would be the Americans.

Jokic

Giannis

To name a couple… 

Noah was right and the NBA players got defensive about it as it weak Drake and his yesterday hits.

These guys aren't the best players in the world cause they're international, they're the best players in the world because they developed in the NBA playing against the best competition they possibly could and rose to the top.

Them being international has nothing to do with how good they are, and I'm in the camp that it's silly to use man made borders and social constructs to determine "world champ".

If you're playing in a league full of exclusively the best players in the world, you're the world champs.

Nuggets shouldn't have to go on a world tour of beating trash Aussie/Eu/Asian teams to prove they're the worlds best.

At the end of the day, it's all people being pedantic about semantics - we know which team would win a tournament with the best teams in the world because we see it every season.

There are 0 teams outside the NBA that could knock off and take another NBA teams spot.

If you have a 30 team competition with the best teams in the world, 30/30 of them are gonna be who we play in 2k lol.

Nuggets vs any other team in the world wins easily in a best of 7.

I do hope though that these NBA players egos getting makes them f around and start a world cup league, more hoops is always good.

And it's great seeing the US's B team smack every team they're playing, it's not even a convo lol.
