The Official NBA Season Thread: Happy Birthday WASHED KING

What a pass

 

[wavycrocket]

Hawks & Magic are two of the most exciting teams in the East

Rather watch them, than a lot of teams.

Jonathan Issac makes a difference

I’m waiting on Paulo to ask outta there.

Knew Suggs was a player from his college heroics. Needed time to cook.

He not going to be a star, star….but he’s going to be a winning player on a winning team. Put him around some talent, and he going to string things together.

Kinda reminds me of young Jrue in Philly. Or even Iggy

[finessence]

Why are teams down 1 point, with ample time on the play clock and shot clock…. Shooting 3s?

What was Banchero doing shooting a 3 down one? It’s so idiotic

Prevent scenarios like that and you wouldn’t need an in-season tournament to increase fan interest.

 

[pmatic]

I mean it was an open shot.

That 9:30est tip-off was too much for me I don’t even remember the second half but just watched the highlights.

T0INE you win again

 

[finessence]

He’s a 29% 3pt shooter

With that logic, anyone whose open around the arc should shoot? A guy like Ben Wallace should shoot that?

I could see if down 2 or 3. You’re down one.

An “open shot” for below average shooters is different compared to good to great shooters. He could’ve even drove a bit or pulled up for a mid range

So you wanted Franz to throw up a shot over three defenders? The other three Magic players on the floor were Fultz, Suggs and Isaac who the Hawks aren't guarding either.

Who’s talking about Franz? I’m talking about BANCHERO shooting a 3 with 8 seconds left. No one’s even talking about Wagner .

Show me where I once mentioned Franz please….

(I just rewatched, there was like 3 seconds left on the shot clock so Banchero kind of had no choice but to shoot)

I thought there was more time left on the shot clock but, I was wrong

Way too many people throw this word around too much these days..

But Spike is an actual clown.

How did TNT let the NBA on Thursday go to NBAtv?

Adam Silver is ***** and surrendered himself to the NFL. Ever since those NBA ratings came out during the Covid Cup he’s been running scared.

So the NBA on TNT goes back to Thursday nights when the NFL regular season is over with in two months.

Man is running a billion-dollar business and pays attention to the metrics. What would you have him do?

 

[pmatic]

Would argue as a business you are competing against something every night, so minus whale.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Tournament courts byke tonight !!!!!!!!!!

Have the schedule like it was before Covid.

Those Covid numbers were an anomaly anyways.

Thursday night Football is a garbage product too.

Adam is doing whatever he can to maximize the revenue before the Media Rights Expire in the 2024-2025 season.

The tournament is expected to produce an additional $1 billion in revenue.

That's really what it's all about even though I don't see the tournament adding to the quality of the league.

I don’t think it adds to the quality of the league per se. But it does give your ticket buying public potential for a competitive game early in the season when that hasn’t been the case for a while now. And the he likelihood that the premiere players are going to play. Timeout for that buying a ticket and 45 minutes from tip, dudes are out all of a sudden.

[nick.]

did Hailburton pointing at the fake screener really throw Beasley off that much?

 

[HIM]

We’re so backwards. You can watch Ja for $4 and you get clowned on. How is that a bad thing?
