2021-22 NBA "REGULAR" SEASON THREAD

had harden ever had a good vibes team tho?

maybe the OKC finals team? the one rockets year where they almost beat the dubs before cp3’s hammy exploded and their relationship deteriorated?

all the nets big 3 have terrible vibes thats what makes it fun lol

super low VORP (vibes over replacement player)

kyrie has obvs by far the worst vibes, some of the worst of all time
harden is a sullen weirdo but not the committed team cancer that kyrie is
kd is capable of being a fully functioning member of a team who takes nothing off the table but at his lowest is a big resentful baby

harden not a committed team cancer? lol remember last season?

he was trying to force a trade, thats special circumstances

never has there been a greater commitment to cancering

lmao

does harden have a single friend in the league?

he is only friends with lil baby

michael rubin

do he and KD have reported beef now?

nets should just trade harden for simmons now and see what that does for the vibes

of the three I think Harden is the only one who can really play you outta contention though

do he and KD have reported beef now?

nothing reported but harden is trying to get out so it cant be that good

tru

i'm guessing harden and kd are fine but that he doesn't like brooklyn and can't stand kyrie.

i feel like one thing harden would take seriously and pride himself on is playing in all the games and that he'd lose a fair amount of respect for someone who felt differently.

i think that’s right

it seems like ppl aren’t talking about the scenario where the nets choose harden over kyrie & either trade kyrie, refuse to offer him an extension or just banish him from the team entirely for the final year of his deal. i guess the reporting on harden not liking brooklyn has this “he doesn’t like living in cobble hill” angle but if harden tells the nets “it’s either me or kyrie” why would they choose kyrie

i guess the question is how does kd feel if you cut kyrie loose

also lol at the "doesnt like brooklyn" formulation, how does he feel about the other boroughs, north jersey, long island? westchester?

if harden tells the nets “it’s either me or kyrie” why would they choose kyrie

well hardens play has been ass... so theres that

maybe he'll promise to play better if they get kyrie outta there

pinkyswear

well, i don't think the nets are gonna walk away from harden or aging star players in general even if it seems insane to the rest of us. harden's play is slipping but at least he... plays

even when he probably shouldnt

Yo

how many 30 MPG guys have been worse defenders than Harden this year? pic.twitter.com/DVc4WODZI2

awful

lol

That last move is like, "don't make me threaten to play defense."

did the knicks really get Reddish just to bench him?

it's the "whisper of vermouth" of nba defense

lol

LOL!

East Reserves

Jimmy Butler (Miami Heat)
Darius Garland (Cleveland Cavaliers)
James Harden (Brooklyn Nets)
Zach LaVine (Chicago Bulls)
Khris Middleton (Milwaukee Bucks)
Jayson Tatum (Boston Celtics)
Fred VanVleet (Toronto Raptors)

West Reserves

Devin Booker (Phoenix Suns)
Luka Doncic (Dallas Mavericks)
Rudy Gobert (Utah Jazz)
Draymond Green (Golden State Warriors)
Donovan Mitchell (Utah Jazz)
Chris Paul (Phoenix Suns)
Karl-Anthony Towns (Minnesota Timberwolves)

Hardens been doing the “unplugged controller” defense for like 5 years now

who are the snubs cant think of them off the top? whoever they are in the west theyll probably get in cos dray/rudy/dono are out?

middleton is the big surprise i think. pretty mediocre year by his standards. garland got in over jarrett allen. harden and middleton both got in over jrue.

west went complete chalk i think? wiggins getting in prob cost dejounte murray a spot tho i guess draymond will need an injury replacement so maybe it comes out in the wash. but the 7 guys they named 100% needed to be on there

feel like jrue has missed half the season. i like the garland pick.

lamelo and jaylen both having pretty ridiculous seasons, middleton harden not so much

yah i hate the harden pick

someone else will get in from the east bcuz of KD

yeah kd and draymond not playing at the very least

lamelo should get in for entertainment purposes

yeah the league needs to start pumping him up

lowry butler and bam playing in their first game together tonight since thanksgiving

lamelo robbed imo

nets on a roll

multiple ankle surgeries seems like bad news
