Maury Ballstein Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) This Warriors musical is the best thing ever. Zaza and Curry too funny. I love the NBA, looking forward to a fun season...talk about a hell of a night in Cleveland tonight. Knicks still look like the Knicks. Brutal.

KD in CA Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Ugh...I've lived here for 3 months and I'm already sick of the Warriors. At least in NYC you can rely on the teams always being horrible so limits how much they talk about basketball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 that is a major understatement, those 3 played out of their minds last night, meanwhile the warriors couldn't play defense and turned the ball over waaaaay too much No bogut to play defense.

dpberr Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 The Warriors have zero rebounding. That's how they lost the Finals up 3-1 and that's why they lost last night. They have no paint presence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I love the people who post in a thread to say how much they don't like something! And I'm pumped for this season. I love the Warriors players individually (expect Draymond) but I hate that Durant took the coward's way out. So it will be fun to cheer against them. I wish I could come up with a cool finals pick but barring injury, we are getting the trilogy. James Harden for MVP now that he got rid of a passed around Kardashian.

YoloinOhio Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) Rookie Jaylen Brown looking good so far for Cs. Every top 5 pick they have had has been a hall of famer ( except for Len Bias, may he RIP). No pressure. It also looks like he's trying to bring back the short NBA shorts Edited October 27, 2016 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mavs/Pacers is surprisingly awesome 110-110 Bogut/Matthews/Barnes not terrible after slow start.

The Poojer Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 Embiid had a very nice debut, it'll be a phun season in Philly.

LB3 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 The NBA is a star driven league and rightly highlights the stars over the team. It's still always funny to me when the only highlights they show from the game (Pelicans-Nuggers in this instance) are Anthony Davis going off in a Nuggets win. If you didn't see the score, you'd think the Pelicans crushed the Nuggets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 that's why they are called highlights, otherwise they'd call it a replay of the entire game The NBA is a star driven league and rightly highlights the stars over the team.

ExiledInIllinois Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I love the people who post in a thread to say how much they don't like something! Basketball is great! Like it. Love it. Gotta have it. I respect the game of basketball like nobody else! I live and breathe basketball. Just take me to the last 4 minutes of the game. :-P Nobody else loves the game than I do. Let me tell you people, I love basketball massively, nobody loves basketball more than me. Let's just drain the swamp and get us to last 4 minutes of the game. I was the kid in the 1970's that would attend every BFLo Braves home game, we would sit in the "Oranges" @ The Aud. Let me tell you, it was a blast, a really big blast! Those were extremely exciting times! Nobody loves the game of basketball like I do! I even work with a guy here in Chicago that is Bob McAdoo's distant cousin. I have friends that play basketball. Let's make basketball massively great again! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 when you have the kind of game Anthony Davis had, you show him, plus he is one of the faces of the league, so naturally he's gonna get the facetime. but i get it, and in fact i saw something on espn the other day that backs up your exact point...they showed the highlights, then they came back and said something to the effect of "...well considering team B won the game, we should probably also show those highlights..", so your point is very well taken You're right.

YoloinOhio Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 NBA is a much better product than the NFL right now. For me personally in terms of enjoyability/entertainment value it's CFB - NBA - NFL - College BB - NHL (but if Sabres were good it would be higher, they are depressing to watch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 ESPN just killed me a tiny bit.
