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'm not the one whining about LeBron after winning a championship and fulfilling a life-long goal like that guy. As I said, rent free.

Really hoping we don’t use Tyus in any trades this offseason now. If he’s around still we’ll be fine. Might lose a few more than we should but a 25 game suspension won’t derail the season or anything.

Doubt it has anything to do with the NBA believing it dropped the ball on Draymond. They just think the optics of one of their superstars doing really stupid shit regularly is much worse than Draymond punching a teammate (which he'd done before and almost certainly will do again).

Ja is lucky Stern isn't commish. With that being said he is losing 30% the regular season (no big deal) but also losing $12 million in salary (really big deal). So it is probably a fair suspension.

Poor KCC has copy pasted Barry to the point that legit no one even takes him seriously. Usually the only interaction he gets nowadays is laughing at him for his transparent butthurt or asking him to please stop spamming the thread.

I will LOL if Morant posts another video holding a gun.

It's beyond pathetic at this point.

Chris Kaman posted tons of pics of him with guns 10 years ago on social media. Nobody even cared.

It's almost as if it's about context.

Quit wasting all that time and energy on lousy shit posts and just do what PB did. That's a much more efficient way to accomplish what you're trying to.

Stern might have suspended him for an entire season, but this is more than fair. Also more than I expected from Silver (who is a pretty toothless commissioner on the whole).

As long as you take Barry seriously, I don't mind. He may be a shitposter, but his logic on his main crusades is sound (LeBron is the GOAT and Brady is the most overrated player in NFL history) and everyone knows it by this point.

By "some" you mean the majority...

Most people here would agree that the only person that is clearly in denial here is you, hence why you have to keep repeating the same bullshit over and over.

Huh? Who said I take him seriously?
