2023/2024 NBA THREAD: WHO WANTS TO GO ON PARADE?!?

[plugboots]

RJ is great, Breen is good too. I respect Doris too; but the entire enterprise is so tainted by Stephen A and his ilk it's unwatchable.

So… I used to like Doris, but when she went off on Draymond and Jordan Poole, and how it was ruining the Warriors on and on, while play was going on, I gave up. Recently though I really enjoyed Mark Jones and Stephanie White, they are a good announcing combo.

I would watch Molly Q 24 hours a day.

If someone could invent a sound bar that muted Stephen A the instant he opened his mouth, they'd make a million bucks overnight.

Crazy comeback win for the Lakers, down 21 points, and LeBron alone outscored the entire Clippers team in the 4th qtr.

I thought somebody would have watched that game. King James is not slowing down.

Warriors vs Knicks tonight on free TV.

I think I'm with you SUF. Remember when Kobe made his first ASG and came in wanting to prove himself to all comers?

I'm not sure there's enough money available to motivate these guys with bonuses. What if the L designed an ASG championship ring each year for the winners from some fashion house, and the losers got nothing? Give one to all past winners first and it would be like a club that only winners got to be in. Gotta win a game to get one.

Sometimes exclusivity is enough of a reward.

it dawned on me yesterday. however they decide to do it, it all goes to charity. virtue signaling is what the nba does best. here they could actually do something. i personally like a 3v3 blacktop tournament but first to 150 or 200 or whatever works but in any case you have charities represented and benefitting. if its a 3v3, do a charity per team. each charity gets $500k, increasing as their representative team progresses in the bracket. if they want to stick to a two team, single game, have each player pick a charity. they get $100k off the bat. if the player's team wins, their charity gets double. asg mvp's charity gets a million. then you do incentives but for shit like blocks into the crowd, breakaway steals w/ finish, behind the back passes, logo threes, poster dunks, what have you.

oh and i forgot! where does the league get all this money? easy, they cut their marketing budget for the all star game in half. seems like they were running ads at drug company frequencies. just cut that shit. if its a good product, people will watch it. if not in the first year or two, then soon.

I don't watch LeBron if I can help it. He and Anthony Davis are my two least favorite players to watch.

Some one should call the cops in Boston. There is a murder going on.

Shit
Steph is stinking up the joint, and the Celtics are playing out of their minds

[I Skied Bandini Mountain]

Throw away game.

[riser4]

That reminded me of not that long ago when Boston threw away a game with the Bucks.

2024 Boston Celtics


End of list

Needed that W over BOS to show this team they can without Donovan when they need to.

Meh. Plenty of teams over the years have been way up and then rested all of their starters for most of the second half. Should they get a trophy or something? Kobe Shaq Lakers, the KD Warriors, etc.

The end of that game was so fucked up, those refs should be fired. Not saying the Celts would've won but that was a mess.

Puh-lease. The Celts went to the line 13-3 in the 3rd despite having a coaches challenge overturn a call and multiple 6-step walks. The Celts are a better team but they went cold and stopped getting free trips to the line in the 4th.

Also, this was pretty cool.

[ötzi]

The Cavs deserved it but the refs completely fucked up the clock and should've reviewed it. It was obviously wrong and that shit kinda matters at the end in 2-point games.

[cat in january]

I guess that was outside the coaches challenge. Congratulations to Cleveland for hanging tough and D Wade was out of his mind in the fourth.

Boston needed this loss. Too much talk about how great they are. Regular season means squat.


Oh and TahoeJ maybe you turned off the beat down your Warriors got after the first half, but the Celtics rested their starters.

[TahoeJ]

Yes and so did the Warriors once the game was clearly out of hand. Curry - who was off - played 16 minutes. I guess I just don’t get excited about margin of victory during regular season games.

[riser4]

I'm trying to learn this lesson after the Celtics huge loss to the Bucks not that long ago, for similar reasons. That time the Celtics weren't feeling it and I took heat for not understanding.

This discussion has me trying to recall - What year in the Finals did the Lakers give the Celtics a beat down one game then lose the series?

Heh.

[cat in january]

I remember the 1985 finals when the Celtics beat down the Lakers in game 1 when Scott Wedman went off. Lakers won 4-2

[riser4]

Fuck the Lakers.

[cat in january]

Absolutely fuck the lakers. Holy trifecta beating lakers in a sweep on their court with James repeatedly being posterized. A man can dream.

[I Skied Bandini Mountain]

Warriors are looking pretty good after five days off.
