KD tells nba team hes available
#sports
honest umbra
25 will come on their knees
to come get him
and the other 4 will still be in play
keen vault
Yeah, but the Warriors seriously don’t need him
honest umbra
again many other teams
celest zephyr
Lol KD people deff taking him
Id sell siakam and two firsts for him
In a heartbeat
chilly flare
They didn't 'need' him in 2017 but they sure as hell begged him to come lmao
honest umbra
most teams would give any amount to get KD
dude is gonna be elite for another few years
keen vault
Jazz maybe?
honest umbra
if they can sell him sure
celest zephyr
Kyrie still has one year huh
honest umbra
but its jazz
celest zephyr
Thought his contract was up
Yeh they’d trade him in that case if he’s still being a nutcase
KD is KD teams going to line up to get him
Kawhi after the raptors despite his injury issues had teams after him
haughty moss
Jazz maybe?
Nah who wanna play there
chilly flare
Jazz have a top 3 worst uniform
celest zephyr
It’s really where does KD want to go
And almost any team on that list would roll out the red carpet to do so
chilly flare
I think KD wants to stay on the east coast and NY
celest zephyr
The Knicks????
Nah they ain’t going anywhere
He wants to play ball with good players
celest zephyr
Maybe you don’t but you know the Celtics would gladly do it
They wanted ad, probably kawhi also
keen vault
Nope, they wouldnt
celest zephyr
Really?
chilly flare
I am saying he wants to stay in NY in general
celest zephyr
Idk about that one tbh
chilly flare
For all his business ventures
Build his empire like Lebron is doing on the West coast
celest zephyr
Ah yeah live there probably
keen vault
Everyone on the Celts is developing in their roles, and we look seriously ready to win a banner, why would we wager that success
chilly flare
And he is from the DC area as well if I remember correctly
Id be shocked to see him go anywhere else
But he shocked me going to GS so
celest zephyr
I get that but idk feels like the front office would still do it
chilly flare
What do i know
celest zephyr
I mean yeh it’s just one year off
keen vault
Maybe, but if I’m Brad Stevens I keep the team as it is. The chemistry is there, and everyone is developing well.
chilly flare
Is his knee going to rupture if he gets out of bed wrong?
chilly flare
He tore his ACL?
celest zephyr
Yes
celest zephyr
It was his right knee
Yeah I’d do the same if I’m the Celtics also
Just think name power might overrule logic though
celest zephyr
Sixers getting harden last season would have been a better nba
Rockets aren’t massive suck, sixers would have been better, nets would still be good anyways
Only Lakers super team if that
honest umbra
lakers still considered a super team?
honest umbra
oilers done
celest zephyr
I mean on paper bron ad and Westbrook pure star power wise is
celest zephyr
How it played out obviously not but three guys who have been either mvp candidates or winners in the past few years is still good
honest umbra
for the last 3 years lmao
melo one of the best players of this century
same with howard
celest zephyr
He was still good in Washington and with the rockets
honest umbra
he was good for a bad washington team in the second half
and he was NOT
good with the rockets
celest zephyr
He had a great stretch post like January lol what
Even pure average wise he averaged 27-7-7
Like what not good player can do that
honest umbra
if you put westbrook on any team where there is no other defined star and let him go at it
he will get u 25-5-5
it wont translate to winning
celest zephyr
Dude played with James harden
honest umbra
good players on bad teams stand out
honest umbra
and what did westbrook do in the playoffs?
please tell me
i watched the whole series against the lakers
so i can tell you
celest zephyr
So that makes him not have a good season
Not being good against one of their worst matchups?
celest zephyr
Like Westbrook had an ass season for the Lakers doesn’t mean he was bad before that
honest umbra
he plays on the lakers now with AD and lebron
he isnt the 1st choice
or the 2nd choice
celest zephyr
I meant before the start of the season lol
honest umbra
in the last decade
hes been the "1" star
for most of those teams
whether in okc or washington
and got to put up numbers
thats translated to a 6th seed mvp and whatever low seed washington were
and eventually out of the playoffs, including a 1st round exit with PG13 on his team
if you want to use that merit to define him as a superstar in 2022 to call the lakers a super team, go ahead
but you would be dead wrong
celest zephyr
A) I really meant prior to this season b) never said I thought that this season after seeing it play out for a bit
Note this whole thing starts with saying if that
Plus like what lol. Wasn’t the narrative around this team that it was going to be good
Fair enough though probably should have said was or like before this season
At this point it definitely isn’t
Lol someone still on copium
Westbrook should just quit shooting so much and just pass and rebound at this point
undone lion
This graphic looks really funny
honest umbra
that kid dropped 6 3's?
undone lion
Apparently
celest zephyr
saw chef curry in the first quarter and decided he could do it too
orlando magic about to sign this kid right now
bro wtf
its one of their issues
with klay being mediocre right now, they only have poole as a real scoring threat
wiggins maybe but he's better when he gets shots from other people
poole also can be forced off the court or at least into a trade off between his offense and his defense
chilly flare
The warriors losing that game when Tatum shot the ball that poorly is not a great sign
celest zephyr
covering tatum too hard
its how its possible to lose when steph shoots like shit
tbh though tatum is good but idk if he's so good that its a smart move to do it. maybe if smart overdoes it or guys can't hit shots it works
chilly flare
The Celtics barely missed in that 4th quarter so that was tough for the warriors
celest zephyr
yeah when a team is on fire not much they can do
Holy fuck Emerson almost got killed
He was so fucking lucky he had a security guard with him who was taking a photo together since he was a fan
Apparently some thief tried to attempt a robbery and pointed a gun at Emerson, and the officer reacted and there was a fire exchange
celest zephyr
Yeah he is safe and is not injured
chilly flare
Was this like in broad daylight?
chilly flare
20 shots??? Very lucky no one was hurt
Didn’t an F1 racer get robber 2 weeks ago?
Crazy stuff
celest zephyr
Shits scary man
chilly flare
celest zephyr
disgusting behaviour
chilly flare
People need to get it together
celest zephyr
I know footballers get easily robbed because they don’t put security in their homes
It was very rampant in UK, Spain and France
well this is also at a hotel so lol
chilly flare
Yea I feel like I see footballers get robbed pretty frequently
Comparatively to other sports people
celest zephyr
tbh hard to remember this year feels like its forever lol

Celtics winning the finals
You know they’re peaking when they carried JT
Dude only had 10 pts lmao
celest zephyr
he passed a lot though
versed forge
That’s true he had a lot of assist
celest zephyr
really progressed his game. before the celtics would have lost since he didn't make the reads that consistently
versed forge
If you look back in the reg season, celtics dominated gsw
They have the better defense
But it’s the playoffs doe anything could happen
I still take C’s in 7
The fact JT passed the ball more than shooting the ball means he got better with his decision making
celest zephyr
yeah and warriors prob tried to force it out of his hands
warriors have a pretty good defense also
they area smaller team than the celtics though

chilly flare
I think they will rebound today and get a 2-1 win
chilly flare
Maybe
I am just guessing
Ive watch more hockey this week than I have in the past couple years so
I thought this series was more about defending and goaltending
Opposite of the western conference
celest zephyr
nah its just narrativelol
there's plenty of gritty teams in the west like the flames, stars, i guess panthers, blues
and likewise teams like carolina, florida, toronto, even tampa vs toronto were/ are all fast run and gun teams
campbell and vasi both had about .900 save%s in their series
i guess its the matchup that makes it seem this way but really both sides have a mix of teams
celest zephyr
doesn't matter if its from the point and on the boards lol
got to maximize the statpadding
classic leafs trick but the other way around. pad the other goalie's stats by not taking many high danger shots but lots of them
robust grotto
yup, I’m unbothered by it. It’s funny when people post the MoneyPuck deserve to win meter like, yes the algorithm is usually right but NYR are such an outlier it’s not even funny anymore
celest zephyr
that why easy to scream getting goalied
yeah its how leafs are deserve to win beasts
robust grotto
NYR find ways to win when they get badly outshot. Makes no sense
celest zephyr
they generate so many shots and chances
smh leafs should have won a ring based on algorithm
clearly rigged
robust grotto
Facts they would pepper goalies
celest zephyr
and then give up like 30 plus shots or barely any lol
feels like its either like 20ish or like mid 30s shots on goal given up
yeah the leafs also don't have that many guys who can finish looks
so even more statpadding
robust grotto
One big difference from NYR to TOR is Adam Fox
celest zephyr
yeah a guy like fox or hedman vs rielly really shows
guys like muzzin and brodie are the real actual lock down guys
robust grotto
Obv those players don’t grow on trees but my point is really there’s no one on TOR back line that dictates plays and creates offensive out of nothing
You get it, yeah
celest zephyr
yeah he did
yeah definitely. a guy like makar would be amazing
especially with how possession in the o zone oriented the leafs are
robust grotto
In the playoffs depth scoring becomes huge and points from defensive players counts as depth imo
Dude if you guys had a Makar.. would be deadly
One of the biggest reasons why the rangers are even here is because their 3rd line is producing practically every game
when you have a third line clicking, that forces other teams coach to start playing his top defenders against them.. eventually in a 7 game series you’re wearing down defensemen
celest zephyr
yeah the leafs were better in the regular season in that regard. guys like kase, engvall, mihkeyev, blackwell regressed in the playoffs
leafs depth scoring is inconsistent like sometimes the stars don't score and they pick up the slack and some stretches where if it isn't a core player then the other guys are barely doing anything at all
robust grotto
Im really happy Spezza is moving on
celest zephyr
spezza and i think like one other player was better in the playoffs
robust grotto
I hope Simmonds and Clifford as well
robust grotto
Dude forreal last playoff I remember him being real tough
celest zephyr
montreal series wasn't that shocking tbh because only like 3 players didn't phone it in
campbell, spezza nylander
robust grotto
But I’m betting that a lot of teams are going to try to emulate NYR’s kid line. Give younger players a chance. I think that Abuseze ( idk how to spell it ) and that Knies kid will be given huuuuge opportunity in TOR training camp
Plus you guys need cheap players to make everything work
chilly flare
Seeing Bobby root for the Rangers last game might have mad me join the NYR alliance lmao

celest zephyr
yeah the leafs prob are going to. don't think they are going to re-sign a lot of their depth guys tbh
chilly flare
I mean I like Bobby lol

man nick robertson is still here LOL
its Nick Abruzzese
oh he played in the post season in 2020 and this season.
honestly they might go amirov - abruzzese - robertson as a line next year
and then like kampf-engvall-blackwell
or whatever vets they can find
yeh maybe that then the usual two lines so i guess like matthews-marner-bunting, nylander-tavares-kerfoot
d men ideally might be the same with rielly - brodie, gio - muzzin, sandin - lili depending on how free agency goes
then like idk campbell - kallgren???. that's still a contender next season i think

I’m just glad that streak is over so people will shut up about it
Can’t say I’m surprised though. If people are shocked rn, they didn’t see any of the Rangers Bolts games in the regular season this year

chilly flare
That is so much better
ESPN app will show you the game but give you no direction on how/where to watch it if it is not on ESPN
celest zephyr
And a pretty big question mark at QB
Yeah definitely. I just want the preseason to start to see if he’s any good
It’s at least reps against nfl players who are semi trying
chilly flare
I imagine Shanahan will have him featured in the run game pretty frequently to help make the passing game a little easier for him
Adds an element Jimmy G couldn't
So even if their passing ability/decision making were to be similar, it at least makes the offense more dangerous with a mobile QB
But now the O-line is questionable which could be really not good
celest zephyr
yeah that's the big issue
especially because lance is more of a run pass guy than jimmy who really just passes and does qb sneaks
he has to slide and not try to truck guys
jimmy g adds an element of having really good touch on his throws whereas lance from what i've seen doesn't have that yet. he has a rocket arm but had a tendency to just throw hard balls or miss short-intermediate throws
texans tape is better, but a) its the texans and their defence sucks ass and b) still felt like i had some questions about him after that
plus without being a consistent starter there isn't much tape on him so he's harder to gameplan for whereas the supposed starter next season teams will quickly have tape and know how to defend him
its basically his rookie season so along with the team getting worse in the trenches on both sides and just regressing as a whole i'd be happy to be like 9-8
chilly flare
It could be that the Niners start off decently hot like a 5-2ish record because teams are figuring out what they are trying to do on offense scheme wise and their defense is still really good and once teams get enough tape out on Lance they Niners could go into a slump and end about that 9-8ish record
4-2 seems really likely looking at the schedule rn
Panthers, Falcons, seahawks, Bears
It is not a super favorable schedule though
It is gonna be tough

Also feels like one team is going to disappoint
The nfc west got hyped as 4 teams that could make the playoffs and at the end it was 2 definite playoff teams, a team that barely got in and one that tanked at the end

Yeah it’s a tough division also so going to be taking wins off of each other
Yeh same. Think it’ll be the Broncos honestly
Raiders have too much talent but they might disappoint and go like 9-8 or 10-7

The chargers need to get their run defense in order though or they are going to be in a similar situation as they were last year
Playing for their playoff lives in the last few weeks of the season
And Derwin gotta stay healthy for once
celest zephyr
Yeah the chargers have to fix their defense
Also tone down how aggressive they are. Them and the ravens blew games because they went too aggressive at times
The raiders have a solid defense. Probably the safest bet for me to be at least like 9-8 besides the chiefs
Whereas the chargers are the chargers and are a more flawed team
chilly flare
Chargers been getting in their own for for years
Not gonna lie
I do like the Chargers aggressiveness most of the time
They just did not execute well
And it did hurt them last year

In Japan, when we train I talk with my friends about shooting and we always agree that when your level increasing, shooting isn't just "going to the net" but you start to go to the side net, like the goal swallows your ball to the sides.
although Japanese, I do recommend this channel a lot because he goes to many different professional teams, national level high school teams and joins their training even with youth teams so you can see the level of training to get to the top.
He's in his 40's and can catch up with 18 year olds showing really what it takes to be "professional"
This is Aomori Yamada - the best Japanese high school football team and has won consecutive national titles.
