[NBA] Comments that don't warrant a thread (NOV)

[Telemachus]

Fair enough, but my money is still on the Blazers over the Suns. And hey, since you have the deed in hand, how about a non-monetary wager? If the Blazers have a better record than the Suns at the end of the year, you become a Kings fan again for a season

Shouldn't the Kings be involved in this wager somehow? How about if the Kings have a better record than both?

Wait, slim isn't a Kings fan anymore? I need information.

He “got out of the rooting for a team business”. I’m paraphrasing but sounds like he still watches basketball but no longer follows a particular team.

Listening to the talking heads and prayers gushing over Carmelo Anthony..., You’d think he wasn’t out of the league for an entire season for being not good anymore. I don’t get it.

First shot, and laser guided brick off the backboard from 10 feet away.

Maybe there's a secret time machine so they can go back and get Carmelo from 15 years ago. HE could help the Blazers.

I mean, he was, and he wasn't. It's not like there are 450 players in the world better than him, even today. And his career is going to get him in the Hall of Fame, whether any of us agree with it or not. He was out of the league for a year because he wasn't willing to accept that, at this point in his career, he's a role player.

Same as what happened to Iverson: AI wasn't washed when he was drummed out of the league, he was drummed out because he wasn't willing to not be The Guy.

So, I've thought about it, and decided to pass. I'm not that invested in being right.

The NBA Youtube channel released 13 minutes of Wizardry.

I take it they didn't release 13 minutes of the really really dumb frustrating stuff that came with the wizardry?

Melo's Blazers stint not off to a great start.

I’m shocked.

Melo yelling at Whiteside for going for his rebound. Those two are going to murder each other trying to out stat-pad the other, and the whole locker room will collapse from the collective cancer.

The unthinkable has happened. Ben Simmons hit a 3.

Pretty sure most G League teams would give the team the Warriors are putting out there tonight a run for their money.

 

[Tetsujin]

The warriors have two wins and somehow that feels like two too many

Wizards are doing everything in their power to lose this game...they were up by ten with under 2 minutes to go

Thankfully for the Wizards, the Spurs are also awful and drew up a DeRozan drive for two while down 4 with 15 seconds left.

 

[Tetsujin]

Jesus, the Spurs are really bad.

 

[kingsboi]

it's insane to think that the last time the Spurs lost 7 straight was way back in 97....talks about their excellence for two decades and on. a feat I don't see being replicated, at least not in our lifetimes.

I really hope the NBA finds a way to get all these Warriors games off the national telecasts.

Should be noted while the Warriors have like four billion national TV games, we have one

'
There's a real easy way. They just switch to an alternate game. It wouldn't be the first time, but it's gonna be really interesting to see how far they have to twist the narrative to get it done.

The Spurs lost to the Wizards today, they look cooked. It's a bit of a shame, they've been so good for so long. It looks like it could be over.

 

[kingsboi]

this Bostons team defense is just insane....I know there is another half to go but they are swarming
