The Official NBA Season Thread: Fries Discourse | Mavs vs Jazz

[toneboi76]

Game/environment stinks so far

 

[sooperhooper]

Lillard's game is so damn smooth

 

[Quincy McCall]

If it's not too late to join the choir, this court stinks

 

[Mister Meaner]

Gucci Ref doing all the big matchup games.

 

[pmatic]

Kinda dumb to have the teams wear their special jerseys throughout the IST, then they go back to their regular jerseys in Vegas.

 

[freeze]

 

[Mister Meaner]

Yanny a bully but the Bucks are getting worked by TJ McConnell.

 

[xxpizzo]

TJ hustle is unmatched

He was doing the same for the sixers here he is still YEARS later doing the same thing being a pest and getting to his favorite middy spot

 

[pmatic]

How hard would it have been to have this on a Saturday

You’re tipping an “important” game at 2PM local time

Or better yet, keep the semifinal game at the home market. This crowd doesn't care.

 

[antidope]

Vegas is also a fake sports city but yeah.

"The sights of Las Vegas". Places to gamble and get smacked. Good job NBA.

Almost impossible for fans of every team besides Lakers/Clippers/Suns to book a flight, hotel, take time off work, get tickets, etc. in 36 hours.

If you're not already in Vegas, you're likely not going.

They’re gonna force an nba team there one way or another. Lebron gonna own the team too

 

[8pm at msg]

Yeah crowd is dead the crowd noise even sounds fake

 

[moonman818]

East coast dudes complaining the game starts at 5pm local time

Join the club, buds!

 

[sooperhooper]

First time l saw Haliburton shoot, l thought the ball slipped... Now l see.

 

[TimelessClassic]

Yeah this stinks...but the NBA is probably monitoring every reaction from their players, coaches, and media to make sure they keep selling this thing and don't say anything negative. I wonder what player is gonna be "celebrating" the trophy like MJ to please the NBA

 

[antidope]

I picked the Pacers to win this thing and now I wish I bet on it.

 

[Mister Meaner]

Obi!

 

[pmatic]

For as bad as the atmosphere is now, it's gonna be lit when the Lakers tip off.

Kings too. Lots of flights on Southwest from SAC to Vegas.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

I think in the future they gotta ship in both teams fans.
There should be fan sections.

maybe thats another incentive, the final four teams fans get some kind of reduced air fair or something, to encourage fans to travel.

Truth. Vegas may not have its own team, but I’m not sure it can be regarded as a neutral site for NBA purposes either. LOL

Were these semifinals tickets sold as a 'session' like summer league? You get both games?

 

[frshstunna]

It was a bad start time for this game that’s why the crowd is dead…Locals still got stuff to do and tourists just waking up/starting their day

 

[sooperhooper]

Middleton and Hield are long lost brothers.
