    Boys, I honestly don’t know how you can get excited about NBA regular season

    It’s a complete farce, it’s barely watchable stuff.

    I love bball as much as any of you guys, and it pains me that I can’t get interested until the playoffs start

    @voodoo definitely get that, but I’m a tragic and still love it. It’s the games within the game that I like. The games yesterday had a bit more feeling with the NBA cup starting.

    That Hawks win against the Celtics was a fun watch too. Aussie Dyson Daniels is one of the best defensive guards in the league and he had a night out on the other end. Plus I love seeing Boston lose these days.

    Then Spols doing a C Webb and calling a ghost timeout and losing the Heat the game at the very death. Crazy.

      The NBA Cup is a success i reckon. For all these dudes have too much money, and too little motivation, wave a trophy in front of them and they fucking go for it.

        Also, do you reckon there are a heap of NBA teams and players just waiting for LBJ, KD and Steph to finally fuck off? 40, 37 and 36 and they are still dominant forces in the league, and the best players on their team. It should not be happening, and yet here we are.

              @voodoo love the Lebron jab because it’s true!

              I don’t think it’s overused. It was an intense game against the reigning WCF champs, who everyone has said got stronger by adding a splash bro. Given the 4th quarter Steph was having it deserved it.

              What I find cringy is when some random from the Sydney Kings or some dude in the China or Philippines leagues do it.

                the biggest rivalry in the league right now is Doc Rivers v Giannis. Can one's ability and will to win beat the others opposite of those things.

                  yes it is too early to really make any bold claims.

                  But the Spurs stink and Wemby is playing crap. boooo.

                  Look at the league records. The East has 2 good teams and a bunch at .500
                  The West is a shitfight of winning records.

                  Lots of Superstars playing well early in the year. Jokic is miles in front as the best player in the world, currently averaging a triple double.
                  Three players averaging 30 or more points.

                  Concerning reports out of SA that Pop has had a minor stroke and this might be it for him. Absolutely nothing confirmed as yet so hopefully all bullshit.

                  And based on the above i should be considered for the role. Since my crack at him Wemby is on a tear. Scored 50 tonight in 28 minutes.

                  He's spamming the 3 button hitting 20 from 36 in the last 3 games. So what's coming is pump fake, one step, alien dunk.

                      There something messed up about watching this bloke shoot 16 3’s in a game. At a 50% clip too, fuck me🤯

                        That is below their game average too….

                        Averaging over 50 attempts per game this season. Coach Joe wants them right around there.

                        Some crazy numbers today:

                        Greek freak - 59 / 14 / 7
                        KAT - 46 and 10
                        Wemby - 50 piece
                        Jordan Poole - 42
                        Rookie Jared McCain got 38. 76ers Big 3 were out and he almost got the win against the Cavs.

                        Cavs are now 13-0. Best all round backcourt so far this season.

                          See Stewart get ejected for the fragrant on the Freak? Shit like that would turn my hair grey if I were a coach or owner; imagine having your star get hurt from a fluffybunny play like that.

                              Classic Stewart though. Was dumb as it wasn’t even near the end where in a close-ish game you might see an obvious foul. And given how the game played out, they could’ve done with his size.

                                    I was watching that game today and l it was a scrappy one. Plenty of frustration throughout from the Rockets, not so much at the ref but how the Blazers were making runs. This was the second of a back to back mini series between the teams and the Rockets won easy in the first game.

                                    Fred will likely cop 5-10 games I reckon.

                                      It will be interesting to see, actual contact with the ref in this manner, is a road I assume the NBA doesn't want others going down, so I reckon he eats a massive fine and gets more time off than that.

                                        His +/- is not good.

                                          @gt12 he’s playing way too many minutes which in my view is diminishing his output.

                                          JJ needs to start coaching and reduce his time. Some of the other guys just play scared when he’s on.
