The NBA Thread

Trading for Kyrie Irving is going to destroy the Dallas Mavericks. Mark my words.

Irving is an all time favorite player of mine, but I sure as hell wouldn't want him on any team of mine.

His insanity is going to chase Luka off. I hate it.

The Lakers also lost, too.

KD is now a sun, not sure how an aging Chris Paul and a gutted roster wins a chip even with slim reaper, but hell the west is wide open might as well go for it.

Ok, am I insane, or would anyone else take Scoot over Wemby in the upcoming draft? I just don't trust something that seems too good to be true, have a feeling Wemby is just going to be Greg Oden 2.0(not saying Scoot will be KD tier though lmao).

Official highlights for 2023 NBA All-Star Weekend

 

[Salubrious]

Russell Westbrook is signing with the Clippers.

I don't think this makes the Clippers a title contender, but it's clearly a positive if, for nothing else, from a locker room standpoint. Paul George is especially happy since he previously was with Westbrook on the Thunder and liked that enough to re-sign with the Thunder before the Thunder went full rebuild. It's probably the best chance for Westbrook to get meaningful minutes on a contender in the regular season due to "load management." For Westbrook's many shortcomings, he goes hard every night, so that might help the Clips win a game or two while Kawhi and PG13 are resting.

The 2023 NBA All-Star Game had NBA stars LeBron James and Giannis Antetokoumpo choosing their players for their respective East & West teams on a televised draft for the first time.

Here’s also the highlights of last night’s game. As always, expect no defense whatsoever:

Saw this interesting exchange on a TV ratings site that predicted the number ratings for this year’s Super Bowl, XFL, NASCAR and NBA All-Star games

Brooklyn Nets are the first NBA team in this year’s playoffs to be eliminated by the 76ers.

NY Knicks move on to second round of NBA Playoffs by beating Cavaliers in series, 4-1.

It’s their first time moving onto the second round of the playoffs since 2013.

 

[Womble of Wimbledon]

Since no one cares for the NBA in current day, I figured I’d update who’s who in the playoffs.

I wonder why the farms has zero interest in the NBA? I get the angle on hating blacks but the NFL thread always has pretty healthy traffic. Why not the NBA? It's not as good as it used to be but I still enjoy watching the playoffs when the games actually matter.

 

[Jonah Hill poster]

First three official games for the NBA Conference Semifinals have officially been released.

Nuggets vs. Suns start later tonight at 8:30, p.m, while Heat vs. Knicks start tomorrow beginning at 1 p.m.

Currently, Lakers are awaiting the winner of the Warriors vs, Kings matchup as Game 7 begins tomorrow at 3:30 p.m.

I absolutely despise these gorilla niggers, their politics, and the water downed traveling bullshit they call pro basketball.

I use to love it until about 2010.

fair point but is the NFL any better? I don't watch american football

 

[Cpl. Long Dong Silver]

fair point but is the NFL any better? I don't watch american football

I only watch baseball at this point and a little hockey.

NFL is more gay but the players aren't as big personalities as NBA. It's easier for me to hate LeBron James and his receding terrible hairline than some near indistinguishable nigger under a helmet.
