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

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

haha

nice

hehehe

ty lawson to kings for one year kiiiinnngs

if he can get his life together, he's still a good player, but yeesh

Hey, did you know Derrick Rose is going on trial next month for gang rape?

https://thinkprogress.org/derrick-rose-rape-case-2182c16b55e2

Why the FUCK is nobody talking about this???

yikes

To everything there is a season and a time for every purpose under heaven.. A time to cast away stones. A time to gather stones together. Once we get a good pile of stones together, then we can cast them at derrick, ok?

Cos that story seams fake if I'm honest. We talked about it when the allegations started and we all decided it wasn't real. Still hoping it isn't.

That's an ugly story, messed up

he..... seems guilty

maybe so, reading more details now...

just seemed so far fetched when it first came out

I don't even like Rose particularly but yeah, who wants to believe he's a disgusting rapist? From that article it sounds more in favor of that than the standard "this was all just a misunderstanding and she was totally cool with it at the time" rape defense

it sounds p realistic and bad to me, as to why it wasnt getting more press before yesterday prob some combination of a. not many facts were public b. its a civil not a criminal case (bad look for sports media to say hes "going on trial" imo fwiw) c. institutionalized sexism
