  Harden is a fat punk who has won nothing and quit on the team he built.

  Skibum is right. Well there is one winner, and that’s Houston. Man, that’s like building a team from nothing into something in less than 1 season. They’ll be young, probably a ton of cap space.
  
  I just can’t see Kyrie, Harden and KD working. They’ll put up some numbers but all have completely different work ethics and philosophies on how to approach the game, and all 3 are great for throwing tantrums. Steve Nash is gonna have his hands full that’s for sure. Who’s gonna challenge them in the East? Miami? Milwaukee?

  at one time hte okc had durant, harden , westbrook and ibaka on the same team. a squad like that could have at lease won one title.
  
  miami is a very well coached team. spoestra is never mentioned ever in conversations regarding list of nba coaches. the team seems to be missing something to make it all the way to the finals.
  
  milwaukee has a shot. jrue holiday and bobby portis are good pickups. and giannis is a fucking beast.

  NBA stars today are all a bunch of assholes I don’t know why somebody would actually pay to go to see it now. It’s really a different group of dudes now. Get over yourself Kyrie.

  He’s a great scorer but is on the downside of his career and comes with a lot of baggage. Pass.

  NBA is going to have a very different look this season most of the big names are getting old and can no longer fulfill their own roles and the supposed up and coming talent like Kylie, have yet to show they can take a team on their shoulders like LeBron and win
  I think that this is going to be the most wide open season in a long time, there is bound to be some surprises

  Kyrie was a HUGE part of the reason the Cavs came back and beat the Warriors in the finals. Better than LeBron in that series.
  
  And it’s not fair to say Harden and Durant couldn’t get it done in OKC. Durant has only been in the league a year and Russell and Harden were rookies. They only played three years together, won 51,55 and 47 games and made it to a finals where they lost to LeBron and the Heat. That’s pretty good success. Now that they are older and Harden needs a championship and Durant and Kyrie have something to prove, I’ll keep an open mind until I see them play.

  I'm in first place in fantasy basketball (thanks Myles Turner) and beyond that who cares about the nba. Its no different than betting on dog racing back in the day: didn't give a fuck about their political views either.

  Fantasy leagues are fun, but they are pure luck, especially in the age of Covid.
  I have a goofy friend who does all kinds of research and work on it and bitches and moans about some woman in his league “who doesn’t know anything about football” winning more than him.

  I never got the appeal of fantasy sports, growing up we played real sports and went to see live sports events, I don’t understand why people put so much effort into imaginary teams
  Seems silly to me

  ^it's simple. if you follow sports a lot then why not take shots at making some money out of it?

  ^ I know a bookie but I'm not much of a gambler, for whatever reason I just don't get a big thrill out of betting, I do play poker occasionally and in a casino I've been known to shoot a little craps or play blackjack, but truthfully I get bored easily with gambling unless I'm playing golf usually a couple of bucks a hole, still not exciting to me.

  It’s simple 25 - you’re on the road stuck in a hotel room with nothing to do, there’s a sports event on TV - you gamble on it - makes it a lot more interesting - at least for me.

  ^ I never said anyone shouldn't, all I said was I find fantasy sports silly, and I'm not big on gambling, but you go ahead and enjoy if that's your thing.

  So Harden’s first two games with Nets:
  
  Win v. Magic, 8-18 (44%), 32 pts, 12 rebs,14 assists, 4 stl, 1 blk, 9 TO
  Win v. Bucks 13-25(52%), 34 pts, 6 rebs, 12 assists, 0 stl, 1 blk, 6 TO
  
  Both were Nets wins. Pretty good start and, would ya look at that, Kyrie Irving decided it’s time to end his sabbatical and rejoin the team.

  I won the courthouse Fantasy Football League. The prize was $6,000.00. That's why I play fantasy sports: Its Gambling. If I cannot gamble on golf, I prefer to not play at all. Gambling rocks and there is nothing more exciting on earth, including sex, than a hot roll at the craps table. Yo eleven.
