December 23, 20205 yr obligatory Chris Webber is the worst national announcer/analyst in the business. Edited December 23, 20205 yr by CBT

December 23, 20205 yr Author 2 minutes ago, CBT said: obligatory Chris Webber is the worst national announcer/analyst in the business. Lol. And Marv is beyond senile. It's so bad.
December 23, 20205 yr Joe Harris might shoot 50% from three this yr with as many open shots he's gonna get.
December 23, 20205 yr Author This Ws team is kind of a mess. It's going to take them awhile to click me thinks. Curry might need to tell em to fuck off and just shoot 25 times a game.
December 23, 20205 yr So Durant is the man and Wiggins is awful. Not everything about 2020 is different
December 23, 20205 yr This Ws team is kind of a mess. It's going to take them awhile to click me thinks. Curry might need to tell em to fuck off and just shoot 25 times a game.They’re pretty harmless without Klay out there.
December 23, 20205 yr 9 minutes ago, CBT said: obligatory Chris Webber is the worst national announcer/analyst in the business. You misspelled Mark Jackson.
December 23, 20205 yr 1 minute ago, Radical Larry said: You misspelled Mark Jackson. and that's fair.
December 23, 20205 yr Curry might win the scoring title because he's gonna shoot 50 shots per game. Who the hell else do they have to put shots up? I guess Wiggins is good for 20 inefficient shots per game.
December 23, 20205 yr 2 minutes ago, Radical Larry said: Damn, Oubre. wicked. close to a posterization.
December 23, 20205 yr They've actually done a pretty good job at making this look like the bubble court and not like a huge empty stadium
December 23, 20205 yr They've actually done a pretty good job at making this look like the bubble court and not like a huge empty stadiumMan I was about to say the opposite honestly. It feels dead to me without the fan video board. Hopefully we'll get some crowds back by spring. The NBA suffers much more for lack of fans than the other sports.
December 23, 20205 yr I know GSW is not gonna be all that good but this Nets squad is gonna be a problem!
December 23, 20205 yr Author LeVert is disgustingly good. Like might be Ginobili/McHale 6th man level good if he keeps at it.
December 23, 20205 yr I'm switching this off to watch movies with the family but I think you guys were right. Barring injury or implosion this Nets team is really strong. A legit contender.
December 23, 20205 yr Kyrie can hoop.KD can score.Nash and D'Antoni will give everyone the green light of they can shoot a little.Nets are going to be a thing, assuming health.

Nets are going to be a thing, assuming health. Didn't realize or had forgotten D'Antoni is on their staff. What an embarrassment of riches.

December 23, 20205 yr Author Can't beleive Google threw a Kobe clip in that cheesedick SUCH A TOUGH YEAR WE BUT CAN DO THIS TOGETHER ad. Seemed completely out of place and tone deaf. REMEMBER THAT? REMEMBER WHEN KOBE DIED? BUY A NEST! Fuck off.
December 23, 20205 yr 2 hours ago, MNLonghornFUKM said: They’re pretty harmless without Klay out there. People always undervalue how much Klay brings. There aren’t many players who move wo the ball that same way which creates a ton of shots and options for his teammates.
December 23, 20205 yr I know this will be lost a bit, but the two players I were watching the most were Durant and Wiseman. I think Wiseman actually looked pretty decent for his first game. I'm definitely curious how he develops over the season. The Nets looked fantastic, but never wise to judge too much from one game and a lower quality opponent. But nothing I saw changes much as to what I thought they could do this season...very bullish on their prospects this year. Just stay healthy, be committed to being solid defensively, and avoid Kyrie madness/drama, and they're good to go.
December 23, 20205 yr I'm watching the Lakers-Clippers and without the fans in the big arena it is just like watching some dudes play at the Y to me. TnT has this fake crowd drone that is super annoying and non-exciting, I would much rather hear the ball dribble, the sneakers squeak, the players chatter than this fake shit. Also, League Pass is $300 Singapore - WTF. $30 a month, I was expecting like $9 to $14 a month.

December 23, 20205 yr Golden State was missing Green and that definitely hurt them on the defensive end of the floor, but damn, their offense is bad. They should be all in on maximizing Curry's productive window.
December 23, 20205 yr KD looked awesome. Him and lyric against LBJ would be pretty interesting for the title.
December 23, 20205 yr not even one game in and i'm already sick of LeBron whining his way into foul calls. jesus he's insufferable

I'm trying to think if 2 guys have ever played each other in the Finals as a part of 3 different teams. I'm guessing it's never happened - I'm sure it's a very short list if it has. Could cement a pretty legendary rivalry.

I liked him best in both stints with the Cavs. Edited December 23, 20205 yr by ztejas

They should be all in on maximizing Curry's productive window. It's not for lack of trying/spending. In the last year, they've had D'Angelo Russell coming off an All-Star appearance, the #2 pick, and Iggy's trade exception to use as assets to improve the roster. They turned that into the right to pay Andrew Wiggins $30M per, Wiseman, and Kelly Oubre, Jr taking them well into the luxury tax. Combine that with awful injury luck...not great, Bob.

December 23, 20205 yr LAL waving the white flag, sending LBJ and AD to the bench with more than 3:30 remaining. they're gonna do this allllll season.
December 23, 20205 yr Playoff P finding a game he can beat. Good for him. I’m sure this will be the same way the playoffs go down for him.
December 23, 20205 yr Just now, shadow_operative said: LAL waving the white flag, sending LBJ and AD to the bench with more than 3:30 remaining. they're gonna do this allllll season. They'll take a lot of whole games off, but I doubt they'll bow out of many early. Players fucking hate what partial games do to their season stats.

Following up on this - haven't researched yet but just going off of the top of my head it's difficult to even think of guys that have played in the Finals on 3 different teams. So far I have: LeBron Danny Green Robert Horry Shaq add - Gary Payton add - Danny Ainge I'll look into it more thoroughly at some point but feel free to help me out here. It's really fucking rare. I'm like 99% confident KD and LeBron would be the first to play each other as members of 3 different squads. Edited December 23, 20205 yr by ztejas

December 23, 20205 yr Ah nothing like waking up to Charmed cause there was hoops on TNT the night before.
