[QUOTE=pingbling23;16879242]i believe the more egregious post is saying i told you so after the nets beat the magic.[/QUOTE]

Golly, I'm in agreement with ping. This may be a first.

Coming from behind and beating an under strength Magic (though let's be honest, even at full strength they aren't much) is not much to brag about.

[QUOTE=Kingofkings1281;16879255]Sorry for being a “hater”, dawg. I see you’ve wasted a good amount of words on defending Kyrie for sitting on his ass because he’s sad. That explains all I need to know.[/QUOTE]

What’s to be sad about for kyrie he is rich and a champion and you are sitting around on blowout stalking millionaires

Get it together

Does Kevin Durant have a blowout account?

Ok, Kevin.

[QUOTE=hairyangryfella;16879251]Were you though?
Or did people say they didn't think it was a great idea (especially long term) and you just couldn't comprehend because you had your own narrative or something..?[/QUOTE]

Can’t remember? I have a feeling if the Nets peel off 3 titles in a row or something there will still be a contingent of BO saying something like “but they still don’t have their 2026 first round pick”, “Caris made 2 AS games”, “JA is averaging 10/10 on the Cavs”, or something along those lines. Who knows?

[QUOTE=Kingofkings1281;16879297]Ok, Kevin.[/QUOTE]

If they win a title then they've proven it was worth it. If they don't win a title soon, they have little left to rebuild with once their stars retire or demand a trade/quit on the team etc.

[QUOTE=Moneychrome20;16879310]Ok lol[/QUOTE]

That makes zero sense you buffoon. Sorry to have insulted James Hardens honor, though. I apologize profusely. Have a good night, champ.

Well considering they have the Big 3 under contract for 3 seasons (health willing or nuclear scenarios that you mentioned) 2 of the 4 first rounders are essentially meaningless, and in all likelihood 3 of them are.

The Rockets won’t be in a situation to utilize the pick swaps until 2025 at the earliest (in all likelihood).

You weren’t going to be able to sign Allen AND Caris with the Kyrie and Durant contracts on the books, but yes you could have signed one.

All that before you even project out just how good they made the team.

If they can’t win a title with this nucleus, they probably weren’t going to win a title with what they gave up either.

The Nets have never had a better shot at the NBA title.

so it took harden and durant to have monster games to beat a crippled magic team by single digits. kd and harden took 44 out of 78 shots for the team (wonder what this looks like with kyrie added). for comparison the best in the league at this time lakers have lebron and ad average 34 out of 88 shots. this is a much better and balanced offense. its harder to make the others beat you when they are doing it consistently. just an observation and something to look at. regardless, as i have said previously, if kyrie, kd, and harden along with the rest of the team are playing their best its going to be hard to beat.

Keep following around rich people hoping for their downfall and crying when it doesn’t happen lol

I literally posted three times in two weeks about your beloved team. Not sure I’d classify that as “following around rich people”.

I’m not a nets fan what are u even talking about

Like I said you have a lot of negative to say about Irving and harden and they can care less about your opinion bro

Find something new to talk about I’m going to chill for tonight have a good one

i think its safe to say 99% of these professional athletes dont care about our opinions, just that we spend so they receive. blowout will go on and we will continue posting our opinions.

That’s kind of silly way to look at it.

I could say that our Lakers haven’t beat any team with a winning record (when they’ve played them) in January. The one team they played who had a .500 record when they played (Spurs at 4-4) beat them by 9.

Wins are wins.

i guess my silly post deserved a silly response, well done. ill add the lakers schedule has been pretty easy and they need to be tested more. good road trip coming up.

How much less could they care? Probably about as much as you white knighting for them on a sports card forum. Judging by your post history, you seem to just cause trouble in whatever thread you decide to post in. I have a feeling you won’t last too long around here.

That's the most explanation given/sense you've made during all of these discussions, credit to you for that where it is due.

I do worry about their center situation, but now that they traded away the one I liked I don't have to care.
Let's see what they do now.

Watched a Rico Hines open run and a Blazers/Hawks game broke out.

Things are already a train wreck around here and Kyrie hasn’t even played yet. This is gonna be so much fun!!!

Ratings paradise.

Just means more $$$ for everyone in the media.

It will be great fun.

John Collins needs way more opportunities.
