I went in Houston in 2014, even volunteered at the Jam Session, I was working the dunk hoops exhibit. I didn't know the possibilities though and still had a great time. Went in 2015 to New Orleans, not a fraction of the excitement, people, or vibe but had a good time because I prebought tickets to the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday stuff (which prices plummeted to $90 each night and could have saved my like $800 if I knew that would happen but I digress). I dont know how it looked on tv, but in 2015 in New Orleans the arena wasn't even half full. They had entire sections just light off so it wouldnt look empty on tv

think it's the opposite.
got suns and sixers near the top.
teams like the nuggs, celts, bucks, and heat struggling
pels and hawks were suppose to take the next step
people thought MJ was crazy for signing gordon and keeping rozier when they drafted ball, but the hornets are playing solid

Warriors and Bay Area media working hand in hand to calm down the critics and fanbase.
Lmao it’s so obvious. They know the pick was bad and now they’re trying to justify it
“He was really good at the dinner party and he knows Manderin. See guys? It’s wasn’t the wrong pick just have patience.”
Warriors got the local media eating out the palm of their hand.

this **** hilarious to read.
WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH YOUR ABILITY TO PLAY BASKETBALL??
this interview stuff is getting out of hand.
like it's great that he can have impressive convo's with 50 year old + white men,
but how about catch a basketball? can he do that?
at the dinner did you ask him
"if I threw you like a semi crisp pass, can you catch it? "
because it really seems like he can't

i've always been skeptical of interviews in regular jobs,
but in basketball, I really don't get it.
all the stuff you want to know about from an interview
you can find a more accurate info in other ways.
using their performance at a fancy dinner as any kind of data point is bonkers.

Cats said they wouldn’t pick Edwards cuz he interviewed like an Atlanta teenager and enjoyed rap music/football
...The whole draft process is weird and needs more new blood executing and covering it

to me it's a different proposition to say hey;
"we talked to his past coaches and teammates and they hate his guts and think he's a lazy and annoying...so we think he won't work hard to fill his potential"
vs.
"we talked to him at a fancy dinner and he has some interesting thoughts on marginal tax rates and the israel-palestine conflict...so we think this will make him...good at basketball?"
to me 1 is a data point 2 has zero relevance to the enterprise of winning basketball gaming.

I 100% agree and said the same thing last year too. It wound fundamentally change the outcome of playoffs. As a fan, it would be extremely disappointing.

The dinner interview is a nonsense concept. If you don't sit there and brag about yourself you lose. I hate them.
