OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA: MARCH 2024

NBA has the best fighters

 

I actually think losing the All Star game might be good for the league overall.
Here's my thought on it. It seems teams almost use it as their benchmark as to when to start playing the real season. Another thing could be to move the trade deadline back a month or so? Those two date seem to set the tone of the season. You can even tell the difference in the way players are getting testy on the court. Tempers are flaring a bit. More technical fouls. The halfway point in the season starts to be more important.
Turn the All Star game into a All Pro game after the season much like the NFL has done. Play it in another country or some tropical destination. Make it totally fun and a showcase tool.

 

“Catching”?

 

Brandon Miller needs to step up and start dropping 40's. His 13 point nights are gonna get him labled as a bust

 

Raymond Felton with hops

 

This is crazy!
Saw this today..... UNC Tarheels Starting 5 average age 22.2/OKC Thunder 22.6

 

What was our average last night? (I bet Reath fucked it up for us)

 

Not sure, but our guys were like 27/25/23 or something. We have some old ass rookies.

 

LeBron James 1-6, Pacers up 5

 

Lakers 19 FTA
Pacers 10 FTA

... cheaters

 

I think it was somewhere north of 22.5

 

Good thing we need them to stay ahead of the Warriors

 

Rockets have won 5 in a row. Houston is only 2 games behind GSW. The Dubs are old, they've had it, they're already booking their summer fishing trips.

 

Can someone explain why this seems to be the case with the court?


Is it just a case of the design? Did they make a huge mistake having the key area solid black like that? I'm betting Next year they go back to a pattern that is more wood grain.

 

I don’t really like to disrespect LeBron James. He’s honestly one a of true talents and obviously one of the greatest. He also is a very upstanding man. He’s done so very much for so many people. I do wonder though how much he truly knows about the “Essence” of the game? To me it’s in the school yard. What are kids saying to themselves when they are letting their imagination run wild with the ball in their hands and nobody is watching. The shot they make when their eyes are brightest and their dreams are biggest.

 

I had started to let this issue go and then saw a few very dark or black home courts over the weekend that don’t look anything like this and then the broadcast lingered on this shot during some free throws and I took that screen shot from league pass that you’ve clipped here.

all I need the blazers to do is make it not look low rent or noticeable, and unfortunately it’s hard not to notice at this point. I’m sure they have a great explanation as to why it’s not their fault, though.

 

If I’d have know who took the shot I’d have given you credit. Thanks for letting us know. I appreciate it by the way.
I also agree. Just getting to the point where It’s flat out embarrassing.
I’m to the point where my tolerance has its limits. The endless tanking. The failure to attract talent, the lack of direction this team seems to have? Been a fan a long time this is getting close to the worst this team has been since I’ve been around.

 

exactly. I remember when walking into the old dusty memorial coliseum in the 80s was a special experience because it was impossible to get tickets (12,888), and that court looked shiny as hell. it's like that feeling you get when you get up close at a baseball stadium and realize there are world class people babying that grass all year.

if we're going to do this rebuild thing they need to nail the gameday experience—not just for people going to games but also for the folks watching at home. the moment you lose that sense of self-respect (and I'm using the word 'self' liberally here), well, it's a problem.

does this mean 'sell the team, jody!' ?

no--just fix the small stuff like this! because the big stuff is causing the casuals to tune out already.
