The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

[wavycrocket]

This dude is the absolute worst . Idk what his worst take is. I had an interaction with him on Twitter, and he deleted a comment he was dead wrong about ,

I really feel like a certain type of person….views Basketball in certain lenses that they never reall understand or been in, and it really upsets them whenever that image is slightly challenged. Think this dude thinks the way basketball was meant to be played is from 1996-2014.

He has absolutely zero knowledge of the game before that. And increasingly, I’m seeing a lot of fans think this way too. ESPN Classic was important.

We’re losing recipes.

GS and Steph bastardized the sport we love. It needs to be discussed.

Let's see who knows their stuff

 

[lovehateself]

Austin Reaves is averaging 8.2 FTA in the month of March.

In ONLY 29 MPG. Please explain that to me pmatic & sohi 23

helps to play against teams who foul the most in the NBA
18 vs Orlando
13 vs PHX
13 vs Houston

We can argue about the barbershop takes va the stat geeks/blog boyz. But the people I hate the most are the GM/front office geeks. Please stop telling me about bird rights, cap holds, Gilbert Arenas provision, and the likes.

Might as well slap a big *** Gucci logo on these

 

[lawdog1]

Those are horrible. Looks like someone just slapped a big *** swoosh and an outsole on a bowling shoe.

Looking like Plastic Man retired.

as of yesterday both Himbiid and Harden were questionable to play but gotta remember sixers have a b2b tonight/tomorrow

that lines to me says something fishy and that one of the 2 sit for sure

 

[Mark Antony]

Didn’t see this coming

So Shaq just dipped and let that man take another mark on his career and never said anything to help?

15 FTA per game (between these 3 games) for Austin Reaves of all people is not normal. I’m sorry, I don’t care how much the teams foul etc

You and me both know that is absurd.

 

[Mark Antony]

Julius need to keep his composure

I wouldn't be surprised if behind the scenes he has some real diagnosis that's why the team puts up with it.

Lakers finally have a foul merchant that other teams complain about. I’ve been praying for times like this.

Not sure if srs or inciting chaos but these things matter in a lot of the discussions we have, though. Dudes making all sorts of asinine proposals and suggestions that they would never make if they had knowledge that of those topics. We actually need MOAR Front Office Ed. Shout out to Professor pmatic

 

[pmatic]

More Reaves content for ya.

 

[ill steelo]

The casuals on Twitter & people who watch sports talk shows could actually learn something from the free throw topic

Lakers are #1 by a mile and were going to miss the playoffs for the 2nd straight year if Westbrook was still there. Miami #2, would be in the play-in if Durant & Kyrie were still in the conference.

Free throw differentials & officiating in general are irrelevant to me in the vast majority of discussions. There is a much, much, much larger reason(s) for why you’re winning or losing.

Nice try. I’m not taking this bait.

I could draft better than Michael Jordan.

I don't doubt this is true which is why MJ needs to hurry up and sell his portion of the team ASAP.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Clappers looked strong last night. Would be kinda funny if they end up trading PG and keeping Russ

 

[amitt5504]

Let's see who knows their stuff

Jokic
Embiid
Giannis
