The Official Off-Season NBA Thread

UK drill > NYC drill

And it not even a contest

What's the UK equivalent of this?

Sixers could easily be a first round exit. Easily

this is how I feel about the bulls

 

[antidope]

If we're doing this... I legit enjoy Miles Bridges raps

Y’allseen this? pmatic @a-friend

Ridiculous comment

Y'all got to stop posting this corny account with these fake quotes

 

[storm2006]

Can Ballsack Sports get a blue check? And no I'm not making a blue balls joke, I'm genuinely curious if these types of accounts are eligible to become verified

 

[Rootin4EverybodyBlack]

Bro this is INSANE to me. No disrespect to Kyrie Irving because he is a human being first and foremost but the fact that the mayor of New York City is "struggling" what to do about a mandate that will only affect a single NBA player is negligent as a leader. The firings you mentioned is an example of the reason why

That guy is a doofus. Every time he opens his mouth, it’s something ridiculous.

Question: can someone smarter than me explain why they can impose the mandate on visiting players since they’re still playing in the city?

Out of pocket

I think if it considered itself a "parody" account in the banner. Probably

I can picture David Blatt actually saying that though

 

[art vandelay]

Hopefully Mayor Adams does the right thing, and bring those 2k people back, and allows Mikey from Waltham to suit up in Barclays, or the Garden.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

This is absurd forreal. All this consternation and his *** could just get the damn shot.

Seems like dude is a clown and that Kyrie should have been allowed to play without the shot

Both can be true

Or he could just get the shot. Wiggins did it. It's about sacrifices and not saying Myrie is wrong not to do it. But actions have consequences. It's not something that's not within his control to change. All his other teammates got it. All the Knicks players got it same with the Warriors, Lakers, and Raptors. Advocating for one player is just idiotic especially given the optics of those city workers just getting laid off for not getting vaccinated. That was a consequence of their actions.

Of course it was a consequence of his inaction that’s not up for debate

The rule itself was illogical to begin with and the dude now in office seems like a clown

Again both can be true

We also just have to keep it a buck about Myrie. Dude is mercurial at best, you even take out the vaccine related stuff. Mans has taken PTO for a myriad of reasons over the last few years. He's one of the best talents to ever lace em up, but dude seemingly only wants to do things on his terms, team dynamics and whatever else be damned. This just another instance of that. He's lucky Brooklyn brass don't have enough nuts to sit him for the entire season.

I’m just curious. They really couldn’t find anybody else from Cleveland besides Machine Gun Kelly. I’d rather get Shad Moss.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Taking Irving out of it, the rule to let unvaxxed players play because they were a visiting player and not an unvaxxed home player play was illogical

 

[elpablo21]

Calling the mandate illogical as a whole because of the way it affected a professional sports league is a bit much imo. The mandate seems pretty logical to me.

 

[storm2006]

Now look at that. A vet that's a champion coming to Cleveland and wanting to teach young talent instead of ship them out

I think he was referencing the application of the mandate to professional athletes rather than the mandate itself.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

The loopholes of the mandate were illogical

 

[Rootin4EverybodyBlack]

Canada’s mandate applies to visiting players too right?

 

[addict4sneakers]

Y’all think him and Rust watched film together?
