The Official NBA Season Thread: I’m like Jayson Tatum in the Olympics I'm not playing

[allergic2broke]

Def would not mind seeing any of these small market teams win this.

 

[jaynev]

players rushed the court w 44 seconds left r u serious

 

[ill steelo]

That got out of hand expeditiously

Not sure why Horford was initially checking Hield on that out of bounds play.

Indiana is a basketball state, and the Pacers haven’t been relevant for some time, so those fans have a lot to be excited for. I think we should wait to see how intense the other games are before we start anointing the IST.

 

[CJMcfly26]

Think apologies to Adam Silver might be in order

Man is delivering playoff intensity basketball in December

Honestly I see it as motivation. Imagine winning a mil, then an extra 750k if you win the championship, on top of your contract. Yeah if my team legit, I want it all bro.

 

[RustyShackleford]

I usually have to wait until the Spring to see the Celtics choke in a playoff-setting

But now I get to see it before winter even starts

BLESS YOU ADAM SILVER, BLESS YOU!!!!

I’ll say it again. Sacramento traded the wrong guard



Oh, it’s over

And Fox was having a bad season if I remember correctly so it was an odd move but was there any indication from Hali's rookie season that he was going to be THIS good?

I’d say no, not quite this good. He was really solid and definitely looked like a legit PG, but I’m not sure anyone called him having the scoring punch he does.

Yes hopefully Indy, Knicks or Kings can take this. An underdog that wouldn't normally be considered a title contender.

 

[jaynev]

Look at my Celtics

It’s a Monday night regular season loss in December. Hopefully White’s knee and ankle are good. Come out of this unscathed. Back to the grind

The next game is in Sac

Tomorrow is Milwaukee and LA.

Gonna go out on a limb and say the energy won't be far off

 

[QU!K]

Good, F the celtics, joe mazulla and all their cockiness.

So is this tournament going to turn into a showcase for crappy teams? “Yea but we won the IST”

Wasn't planning to dust this off until May, but:

Celtics beat these dudes by 50 a month ago

This is cool.

Good job, Silver.

or you can look at it as it giving other teams the potential for some visibility
neither the kings nor the knicks are bad teams

 

[shake_zula9]

how come the pelicans aren't wearin the villainous jerseys?

 

[QU!K]

Now would be the perfect game for Zion to reintroduce himself
