i have something to say about the offseason THE 2016 NBA OFFSEASON

nah, they are too likable :)

doubt they will overtake the kobe/shaq lakers or the bad boy pistons or the mid 2000s spurs

Yeah everyone haaaaated the bad boy Pistons outside the d

The first year of the Lebron heat might have been the most polarizing team ever though

were the jail blazers hated nationally or just sorta pitied

i think they were like a national smh from what i remember

I think people kinda liked those guys. Def pitiful tho

i know we call them the kobe/shaq lakers but tbh their most hateable player then and now was fish

the thought of fish attempting a comeback only makes me wish basketball was a more violent sport

Rick Fox was p hatable too

But yeah d fish obv

let us not forget the searing hatred for big shot bob

he didn't seal his dick status til he took out steve nash tho

the thought of fish attempting a comeback only makes me wish basketball was a more violent sport

fish signs a vet min deal with the lakers, lakers play kings 4 times/yr due to being in same division, matt barnes literally murders him on the court

totes plausible tbh

Bron 3/100 w cavs. 3rd year player option.

banana boat 2019

CELTICS CHRISTMAS DAY GAME MOTHERFUCKERS

also the schedule came out

timberwolves get an xmas game vs. thunder! that's extremely exciting imo. rest of those are fairly predictable - dubs at cavs, bulls at spurs, lakers-clips

I might try to avoid seeing the Bulls entirely next season. They're gonna be kinda gross.

they will be pretty intriguing but yeah zero shooting = gross for sure

they may have to play Mcbuckets like 40 minutes a game

pretty sucky christmas games this year

lol magic

Rondo / Wade / Butler / Gibson / Lopez is like a starting five the AI would construct when simulating the offseason in 2K and you'd come across the roster three months into the season and go "wtf was the computer high on exactly"

oh good the Knicks have a third of their games on national tv yes excellent

at least they have the zinger!

1/4 of last season's east semifinalists playing on xmas eve is kind of an interesting state of the league comment.

somehow my mind totally blocked out that wade is on the Bulls now

from what i'm reading abt the schedule, looks like the season is starting a few days earlier and ending a couple days later, so all teams should have a reduction in back to backs and 4 games/5 days situations. i approve.

yeah supposedly no more than one "4 in 5" per team

4 in 5 is just crazy, even if it is only once a season.

yeah def a good change

I'm likely interested in watching exactly one or two of the THIRTY FOUR national bulls games, like I know big market but whoooa

i think that's prob a reaction to them adding wade, in theory could be interesting from a story line perspective even tho the team will be a chore to actually watch

Also lol at atl's inexorable slide back into "team nba tv" status

Yeah it's definitely partly wade effect, I'm sure a chunk of those games are vs heat and cavs for narrative purposes

they're probably mostly replacing Lakers games so nothing of value was lost

lakers trying to sign Yi???

i think they have - seeing 1 yr/8 million being floated as the done deal

I'm a huge Bulls fan and I prob won't even watch 34 of their games

such a weird ass roster

this is interesting http://www.csnmidatlantic.com/washington-wizards/wizards-john-wall-bradley-beal-must-put-aside-tendency-dislike-each-other-court

very interesting. lol at them expecting coach glasses to be help mend.

i thought players generally liked brooks? always figured his probs were completely tactical

yeah they do but i mean he couldn't force KD and RW to be besties. the players will either get along or they won't, thats on them.

Enjoy Festus, PDX fans

Blazers say Festus Ezeli is out 6 weeks after a left knee injection w/bone marrow aspirate concentrate to alleviate pain & improve function.

yeah that's why even in this market Portland picked him up for 2/16 or whatever it was

for sure, maybe he/they knew he needed that. he'll probably be ready for opening night but still

can an insider post the projected win-loss for every team thing that ESPN put up today? (just the raw numbers not the explanatory graphs, if it even has those)

1. Golden State Warriors - 83 wins

lol tough but fair

I thought that Kobe had reached his saturation point in the media last year but somehow they went and made a day to honor him

literally thought when i saw that 8-24 was his day that it was a joke abt his shooting
