Can't believe the regular season starts tonight. Just seemed like the Finals ended a couple weeks ago.

Philly vs Celtics: 6:30PM CST TNT

GSW vs Lakers: 9:00PM CST TNT

I hope Ja has gotten to the level where he can knock the Warriors off this year.

Pitt Gorilla · 10-21-2022, 10:40 PM

Jokic is brilliant.

The Blazers are 2-0 baby! Squeaked out a win against the Suns last night.

I definitely think there are a lot of teams good enough to knock the Warriors off. Playing against the Warriors becomes such a mental game. It gets so frustrating watching teams switch their style of play to try and keep up with GS. If teams stay focused on driving to the bucket instead of letting the Warriors dictate the pace and turn it into an ugly 3 point contest they will dominate the Warriors this year. For some reason teams are way too in love with the 3 ball today. Even when it’s not falling. There was a stretch in the 2nd quarter of the GSW vs Den game last night where I felt like I was just watching a couple middle schoolers jack up stupid 3’s in a game of NBA 2k. Denver should have been able to stretch the lead to 30+ but for some reason started jacking up stupid 3’s right along with GS. The Warriors do not have a good enough post presence to have the success they have had. Teams need to just stick to their game and drive the bucket with ease when they play the Warriors.

I love that Lillard stuck it out with the Trailblazers.

Once JW went down with the concussion (or whatever), the Thunder didn't really have a third player.

They are but Poku is even more worthless.

My favorite player in thr NBA. This is what people want to watch. Sheer athleticism. No crafty bullshit (Harden, Doncic). Guy gets real fouls. Flies the **** around. This is what Russell Westbrook could have been if he didn't have a 71 IQ.

Probably not, but we can dream that this disgraceful organization will get taken down a peg.

How is Hong Kong Lebron doing?

I'm trying to watch this Celtics@Magic game and all I can find are Boston streams. My god there's just nothing worse than Boston sports announcers. Their voices are annoying and they're homers to the max. Have a little bit of professionalism you chowderhead reeruns.

POND_OF_RED · 10-22-2022, 07:43 PM

Doncic is putting on a show tonight. As much as Dillon Brooks offensive shit show in the playoffs last year pissed me off, we really need his defense back. He’s very valuable in that regard.

How many games in a row including tonight has Luka and the Mavs kicked the dogshit out of Jah and the Grizzlies? Yet Jah gets the All-Star nod over Luka. GTFOH.

They just got rolled by 41 by the Mavs. Luka lit up Jah but yeah they could totally challenge Golden State.

I heard an opinion that Lebron doesn't want to ask out so he can say that he never asked for a trade in his career.
