The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

[picasso swerve]

Just a random though after someone said why are the Clips and Dubs on TV when PG/Kawhi is out and they need some sort of flex scheduling, well sucks for viewer but ore so people going to the games. A lot of stars and whatnot out for this reason that reason, obviously most are legit with injuries but then the load managing from taking a day off a back to back or playing a weak team, thats whack as a fan especially if its a road game. Mavs coming into town? Lemme get tickets only to have Luka sit cause its a back to back. Bucks playing in H-Town? Imma cop some floor seats only to find out Giannis is taking the day off due to a "sore foot". Why do I feel its happening a lot more this season?

You think people are rolling up on him and asking him that to his face? If anything, it might be a matter of him thinking that people are always wondering that when they see him which actually may be worse because you would constantly be in your head. The fact that he is still around the game is a good sign, though.

Also - he made $24MM in the league as a #1 pick that barely played over 100 games in 6 seasons So much to take in there. Also, #NeverForget

Yeah, I guess it's easy to think that because he never looks happy.

That was because there was no restriction on a rookie contract at the time right? Crazy how times have changed. I didn't think he would be a phenom, but I believed that he would at least average 20 points/10 rebounds.

Also, I just realized that chick is probably easily taller than me.

I do not have numbers to back it up nor do I know exactly how you would find them but I feel as if it has been happening more and more and every season so this season is just continuing the uptick. They talked about it on one of the Morning shows this past Tuesday but I guess that Pels game on Monday where the Dubs Core 4 sat was not only out but it was the second game at New Orleans this season where those goes sat. So basically those fans got ****** this season. It sucks that if you want some tickets ahead of time now you kind of have to do schedule analytics to check for B2Bs, 3 in 4s and 5 in 7s (inb4 someone post some ridiculous ## in ##s). It’s just where we are at in 2022, for better or worse

Luka is ridiculous. Hate playing against him. Best offensive player in the league.

What do you mean?

The best Offensive Player in the League is Trae Young and it’s not even close.

Look at his stats.

 

[storm2006]

Nope it wasn't obvious, when people were telling me Luka didn't do one thing better offensively than Jokic

Who said this?

I will be representing Coupé It and serving as his NT Counsel on this matter. I enter the following into discovery.

 

[HIM]

Y'all gotta stop getting Addicted. Even he doesn't believe those things he said

 

[storm2006]

What do you mean?

The best Offensive Player in the League is Trae Young and it’s not even close.

Look at his stats.

He averages more assists and shoots better from three (barely) and the line. That’s it. Please see below for numbers.

Spoiler

 

[ill steelo]

From a turned ankle?

I’m just hoping he gives himself enough time to get in playoff shape.

Still plenty of ball left but conditioning & rhythm takes a lot of time.

Damn the Lana Rhodes/Blake thing got confirmed

Vegas always wins

What is going on in this post? Like I am legitimately confused by the commentary, pictures of random yambs, talk of mail order wives, kids and toys are mentioned. Joint is Da Da Vinci Code.

There are/were a lot of popular videos of kids playing with toys that other kids would watch on YT.

I had been watching other people watch/react to Michael Jackson performances and songs.

And then it was yesterday I stumbled on those pieces of eye candy and subscribed to them.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

He was being facetious

Ahhhh okay. I never know with y’all and I don’t recall any Trae discussions lately so I took it at face value My bad

He's a big Luka fan and Trae is having his least efficient season so far. Career low on both twos and threes. Def 100% sarcasm on that one.

I'll cut you some slack though, it's a holiday. Have a good Thanksgiving, everyone.

 

[storm2006]

Btw - Happy Thanksgiving y’all. Enjoy some good food, family time and…football? Minus whale watch some rom coms with your siblings and cousins instead. At least this means we are about a month away from the best regular season basketball day of the year

Don't worry, you're not alone. I stay trying to pick up the quarter attached to a string in here.

 

[Peep Game]

Haven't they BEEN trying to hand the keys to him? He's usually either not available or not playing at the level he's recently been at.

The only time you can hand the keys to him is when there’s a sudden 3 month break in the middle of the season. Without that, this is the Anthony Davis we get.

 

[dacomeup]

There are going to be some interesting convos on who the best player of the 2020 class is soon...

Tyrese Hali right now

Drafting is random. Water is wet.

Yea, but the franchise that brought you “Lightyears” did not want us all to believe that

It's like folks are mad the Warriors won last year so they took cover all summer and now since they are off to a slow start they are coming out shooting and puffing their chests and celebrating how they goofed on their draft picks, which I am even admitting they fumbled on.

We don't know what would have happen if the Warriors made better moves. But we do know they made the moves they did and won a championship. That is really the end of the story.

Weren’t people doing the same thing with the Lakers?

 

[dacomeup]

Why am I reading pages of arguments about Steph being scared of Melo coming to GSW?
