EdipisReks1 Posted June 13, 2017 Report Posted June 13, 2017 I guess I'm a bandwagoner, but I've been rooting for GS for many years. They play the unselfish small-ball that I love. the Cavs, with Lebron and, especially, Irving, epitomize the kind of selfish ball that was so prevalent in the 90s, that I hate. 1
TMoney Posted June 13, 2017 Author Report Posted June 13, 2017 Much respect to the Cavs. LBJ and Kyrie are absolutely insane.
robm321 Posted June 13, 2017 Report Posted June 13, 2017 Agree, Cleveland did not embarrass themselves. They played hard and gave it their best shot. I lost interest in basketball years ago when the Lakers were winning it every year. It got boring. Fortunately, I live in the bay area which is probably the only reason I'm into it now. So, band wagon here too. The deck is stacked and looks like it will be for years to come which sucks for everybody else. That can't be bad for basketball in general can it? 1
mypasswordis Posted June 13, 2017 Report Posted June 13, 2017 Yeah, the Warriors dominance for the next 3-4 years most likely means the rest of the league is just going to wait it out and concentrate on building through the draft like the Warriors did, which means even less competition from the bottom 28 teams. Any Kings fans in the Bay area? It's hard to be a Kings fan when the front office is one of the worst in the league, and that's saying something when compared to the Jim Buss ran Lakers and Knicks in general.

Aura Posted June 23, 2017 Report Posted June 23, 2017 What in the fucking hell is Chicago doing? Pax didn't just kill this team, he absolutely obliterated any semblance of cohesiveness, skill, or potential.
guzziguy Posted June 23, 2017 Report Posted June 23, 2017 20 minutes ago, Aura said: What in the fucking hell is Chicago doing? I was wondering the same thing. Chicago probably needed to go into complete rebuild mode but this appears to be a terrible first step. Certainly they could have gotten more/better for Butler.
Aura Posted June 23, 2017 Report Posted June 23, 2017 It's disgusting how far they've fallen from the 2011-2012 roster on every possible front, including coaching. Pre-injury Rose, Noah, Deng, Boozer, Hamilton, Gibson, Korver, and Butler. A couple more seasons with Thibs and that roster would have had a title.
TMoney Posted June 23, 2017 Author Report Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) Chicago needs a rebuild of its front office. What a robbery. Levine and Dunn don't really project out to be starters, and for the two of them plus #7 they traded one of the best two-way wings in the game? Jeez. EDIT: Nice take on the trade (as usual) by Zach Lowe: http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/page/presents-19712292/zach-lowe-jimmy-butler-trade-future-minnesota-timberwolves-chicago-bulls-nba Edited June 23, 2017 by TMoney
mypasswordis Posted June 23, 2017 Report Posted June 23, 2017 I suspect what was behind the trade was a lot simpler: I would assume their intention is to do a full rebuild and tank for draft picks the next few years. Can't tank properly if you have players that actually do well together.
TMoney Posted June 28, 2017 Author Report Posted June 28, 2017 CP3 to the Rockets. Jimmy Butler to the T-Wolves. PG-13 to the ________. #1 pick in the draft traded. and we haven't even hit free agency yet. God, I love the NBA.
Aura Posted June 28, 2017 Report Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) I love how half these teams' overall strategy is to just cycle through star after star, somehow hoping they can catch Golden State with rag tag crews. Makes me appreciate Boston and Philly willing to nosedive for multiple years to try and assemble an intentionally devised team with actual focus. Please Chicago, please do this. Guys like Howard, CP3, Melo... I just don't see it. Edited June 29, 2017 by Aura 1
mypasswordis Posted June 29, 2017 Report Posted June 29, 2017 Also, Phil fleecing the Knicks lmao. Got paid 60 million to destroy them for 3 years and keep them average at best for years to come. Off season is ? ? ?
mypasswordis Posted July 18, 2017 Report Posted July 18, 2017 Lakers just won summer league without Brandon and Lonzo, aka Mr. Triple Double. #lakeshow
EdipisReks1 Posted July 18, 2017 Report Posted July 18, 2017 Summer league is, of course, a true Nostradamus. I found it hilarious that Lonzo played better not wearing those awful shoes. 1

Hopstretch Posted September 25, 2017 Report Posted September 25, 2017 Let’s get this bandwagon rolling! 2
TMoney Posted September 25, 2017 Author Report Posted September 25, 2017 Those are outstanding seats, 3rd row off the court I believe.
TMoney Posted October 18, 2017 Author Report Posted October 18, 2017 Poor Gordon Hayward. I saw it live and it looked horrific. You never, ever want to see that. Hopes for a full recovery. 1
purk Posted October 22, 2017 Report Posted October 22, 2017 Super sad for Gordon. Hope he will be back even stronger next year.
mypasswordis Posted October 22, 2017 Report Posted October 22, 2017 No love for Jeremy Lin? Considering last year, his career is pretty much guaranteed to be over at this point. Looks like Linsanity 2.0 was just not meant to be. 1
jvlgato Posted October 24, 2017 Report Posted October 24, 2017 Jeremy Lin is awesome. Great player and great person. First American born Asian in the NBA IIRC. Great stuff! My brother and I talked about shooting hoops on our driveway like him, except ... he’s good. I liked that people called me Jeremy Lin, an actual NBA player! Instead of being called Bruce Lee or Charlie Chan all the time. Although Bruce Lee was pretty cool. But bum knee not good, especially for his style of play. 1
mypasswordis Posted October 24, 2017 Report Posted October 24, 2017 He seems very humble, probably too humble but quite welcome in a world of Trumps. And yeah, his style of play slashing all the time causes the injuries in the first place so hopefully he can develop some range with a nice step back or pull up game and maybe play a few more years. People called me similar names when I was growing up (Jackie Chan/Bruce Lee, not Jeremy Lin) but I also had a whole slew of other nicknames based on my name, like Justin Time and Justification, Timberlake, Bieber Fever, etc. I wish someone called me Jeremy Lin, especially as a fellow Taiwanese American, but I didn't play a single minute of sports growing up... 1
jvlgato Posted October 25, 2017 Report Posted October 25, 2017 Haha. I like Justin Time and Bieber fever!My other nicknames unrelated to being Asian, were plays off my last name: Slim, Limburger, Limbo, Lim-osine, Out-on-a- ... Those were fun, though. I like trying to come up with fun nicknames for colleagues at work. It just makes the day more fun. No sports growing up? What’s wrong? Too busy doing your math, computers and violin, hahaha? Oh wait a second ... [emoji6] 1
