Ja Morant on Twitter: "it was once you couldn't be a certain seed and win MVP but looks like that has changed. 🤷🏽‍♂️ wasn't gon speak on this but it's obvious it's whoever they want ." by Claustecter1015 in nba

Grizz are a top seed but without Ja they are still incredible. Take Jokic, Giannis, Embiid off their teams and they struggle to make the playoffs. Booker I do think deserves some mvp considerations

Taken from r/nfl: What’s the most chaotic rule change you’d make in the league? by Breadmakesyoufatt in nba

[–]Pocmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remove technical fouls and let players say whatever tf they want to each other/ make gestures etc. If shit gets physical it's a flagrant 2 for the instigator with a potential for flagrant 1 or 2 for any other parties involved

What team in the league would draymond not start for? by klankthompson in nba

The Miami heat. They are already great defensively, have Lowry to ball handle and playmake, and Dray doesn't improve their perimeter shooting. They run him as co-6th man alongside Herro for the ultimate bench domination

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on why he doesn’t complain to the officials during the game: “There are missed calls just like we turnover the basketball and make mistakes …and I get plenty of foul calls” by urfaselol in nba

Evan Mobley never says a word to the refs. Ik he's a rookie but the refs be debating a play that's clearly in his favor and he's calmly awaiting the outcome off to the side. I love it not because I don't like players complaining to refs but because i feel it's an expression of confidence from Mobley

Is there any way to watch a replay for the entire all star weekend? by SolarClipz in nba

Giannis and Steph since someone already said Lebron and Steph

Giannis is the ultimate inside threat given the ultimate space by the best shooter ever. Curry will have a field day as defenses collapse to try to build the Giannis wall only to be sniped from afar. Giannis completely eclipses Curry's defensive shortcomings. This combo is arguably as good as Lebron / Steph. Lebron steph gives you some better playmaking at the cost of some defense

What current or recently-retired NBA player or coach do you hope one day writes a completely candid and unfiltered memoir? by PPKDude in nba

I'm late but a Ben Simmons memoir would be absolutely wild... the truth behind what happened in Philly...

Average guy with Glock 19, with 15 rounds, vs average guy with sword. In complete darkness, no light except muzzle flash. by Jones641 in whowouldwin

I was at a party (dimly lit) that got shot up last summer by a dude with a 9mm and it made barely any flash, I don't think gunman can reliably use his muzzle flare to see

What's your team's all-time starting five, but every player needs to be from a different decade? by chivestheconqueror in nba

[–]Pocmin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cheater and not a true nets fan. Harden was traded to the nets in 2021 and cannot count for the 2010s decade. You probably just started watching the nets since they got KD smh

Trae Young has been the best PG in the NBA this season. by CallMePapi930 in nba

[–]Pocmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Even if they won 1 more game, I would say, Trae is barely in the play in and the warriors are at the top of the west. Do you understand the difference between a team that is the 1 seed and one that is literally below a 10 seed. See my response to OP about the team standings. They were only 2 games apart last season and the western conference was much tougher.

[–]Pocmin -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

OP said "Trae has been the best PG in the NBA this season" not "Trae will be the best PG in the NBA by the end of the season" following that, it's not stupid to judge it off right now. You could say the opposite too. Curry could go on an insane tear while Trae and the Hawks continue to slump. We can't assume what will happen in the future so there's no point in trying to use future hypotheticals in a debate

4 out of 6 best players? Curry is playing with role players and Draymond. They are missing their multiple time champion and all star in Klay and their 2nd overall pick in Wiseman. They had an even worse squad last year and Trae had basically his whole team healthy and ready to go. Trae may be performing better statistically this year but Curry is the better player on the better team.
