The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

When’s the last time a cat got seriously injured during an all star game?

Kobe Bryant in 2012 when D. Wade broke his nose.

Then a few days later KB gave him and the Heat a receipt (33 points) attached to a hot fluffy “L”

No one will ever refer to 2023 being great basketballl.

No one.

Got Damb

Kobe a different breed bro

One of these players would’ve been out for the whole rest of the season

 

[headdetective]

Just wait.

That would require someone, anyone, from 2023 to say that and no one is saying that bro, not even kids.

I get what you’re saying but the line is drawn somewhere and I think that somewhere is now.

The headline is hilarious

 

[kingjay718]

word.

These players worry about getting hurt, mind you the bag is guranteed already for most of them and in anything you do there’s a risk.

Whereas players of yesteryear were making way less but at least played hard and took the ASG serious in quarter 3 and 4. First two quarters was the what we saw all 4 quarters last night

 

[headdetective]

The bag being guaranteed and these cats still spit in our face like this is wild

I still have the 94 and 95 games on VHS somewhere with some In Living Color episodes .

Used to watch it over and over. I didn't have cable so I couldn't watch the Saturday night stuff so the actual game was it for me. Definitely a lot more competitive. Guys were getting to the FT line like 10 times

 

[nick.]

EYE really don't think the ASG needs some complete overhaul.

ASG used to also serve as a showcase for lesser known players or players in smaller markets. Now, everyone knows Banchero, Haliburton, Maxey, etc.

After three days of media apprarances, podcast segments, NBA sponsor events, I'm not expecting the players to bust their *** for nothing.

The vibes have been weird in the BK camp all season long, sucks to see for Vaughn but not surprised

 

[headdetective]

Vaughn ain’t had a fair shake in any of his coaching tenures

 

[B Sox]

Remember when folks were acting like Jock Vaughn was some good coach

 

[art vandelay]

What did they expect Jacque to do with that team that he isn’t /wasnt doing? Bridges wasn’t going to be enough.

 

[rolaholic]

Sean Mark's ever gonna be on the hotseat?

 

[kingjay718]

He is. He never had a roster he can work with.

Damn. Fired on your day off.

 

[finessence]

Ben Simmons. Coach killer

Really had bro. The team is an afterthought here in the 5 boroughs.

 

[nick.]

I don't really see the Nets having a head coach; you know what I mean? Bridges could be a head coach. Cam Thomas could be a head coach.

It's a collaborative effort.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Team was never the same after they tanked the second half of the game. Wonder if that was Jacques idea.

Yep, that Bucks game.

 

[headdetective]

Definitely wasn’t Vaughns call

 

[Mister Meaner]

Gonna take more than a new name in that seat to lure whatever star that is & make them choose the practice facility for the other team in the city as his home.
