Ingram on God mode

Just need a Pels win and all is right in the universe.

brothertona · 04-15-2022, 09:39 PM

Jeez, the Cavs with Lavine instead of Okoro.

trae was non existent in the first half and showed up in the 2nd half. good grinding win for them. he’ll never be a superstar but he’s a star (offensively)

ninjacookies · 04-15-2022, 09:46 PM

Pels rollin.

Once CJ hits his stride, should be curtains.

I mean he's carried the Hawks through now 3 win or go home games in Sixers, Cavs, Hornets - and lead the league in scoring and assists. Literally he's the thing teams are tanking for - if you have Trae you've got a shot. That's a superstar. He's absolutely the worst defender in the league but he's so good on offense that it doesn't matter

Superstars win MVPs and titles. End of story.

Is Luka not a superstar? He has neither, while Trae has far more playoff success.

I mean if Luka isn't, then at least I commend your consistency.

I also don't see what having cards of a player means in terms of liking them

I get that the cuck BO move is to talk only good about players you're heavily invested in *cough you with Mahomes *cough and negatively about players you aren't heavily invested in, but that's pretty pathetic.

Ya know, like I'm sure your benchpress would be if you ever picked up a weight. Or your 40 time if you're still capable of "running", or your vertical leap, so on and so forth

But yea, talk about my intelligence and a dude who is 5'11 170's lbs defense.

You seem a little unstable so I'm just going to block you. Have a nice night.
(By the way, Trae is 6'1" but yep, you're a huge fan)

Ok, at least contend for MVPs.

Also, I want to see Clips- Suns again.

Lol. coward move

And yea, an athlete's listed height means literally nothing.

Look at KD standing next to people he's listed as 3 inches "shorter than"

Weird not knowing that for someone as intelligent as yourself..

Lel.

I personally think both are superstars. Legends are made in the playoffs, not regular season anyways. But if you say both aren't superstars, then I'm with it.

Clips just aren't a good product minus Kawhi. We'll always know their ceiling.

Backtrack much?

Looks like it's gonna be a long night for the Clippers

No. I was being too rigid with my initial parameters.

Luka at least makes All-NBA teams. How many has Trae made?

Not having George just stinks

ballhawkdawk · 04-15-2022, 10:08 PM

The lack of prime Kawhi’s presence in the playoffs is the most disappointing aspect of the NBA for me over the past few years.

ninjacookies · 04-15-2022, 10:08 PM

Squads heralded for good team defense are getting eaten tonight.

Ah yes, the ever important All-NBA team that every young boy with basketball hopes dreams of making one day

Fans chant it from the rafters "All NBA", "All NBA"

I wonder if you go to an NBA game and survey every single fan at the game if a single one would be able to name the all NBA 1st, 2nd & 3rd teams. I'd bet less than 1% could even name the 1st team

That truly is the epitome of super stardom right there

Trae at least makes it to the conference finals…

Works both ways.

I think the bottom line is that Luka seems to get the respect he deserves, while for some reason Trae doesn’t even though he’s a proven big game performer just the same.

Yeah. Brutal when you lose them for playoffs. Hopefully Luka only misses one and Steph is back for the first game. Would rather see everyone at full strength. Although Simmons should just put on his cheerleader outfit.

Siberian13 · 04-15-2022, 10:13 PM

Hawks won 8th place! Suck it Cleveland.

.

No greater feeling than winning 8th place. This play in game stuff is just dumb

ninjacookies · 04-15-2022, 10:14 PM

Trae gets plenty of respect outside of the forum.
