there should be 64 basketball games imo

63, no?

p good scheme anyway, along with confernceless playoff seeding with effectually eliminate conferences while still acknowledging some ancient rivalries

xp the last team standing must play vs God

hmm doesnt seem like a fair matchup

i think my preferred shortened season schemes are 58 games (1x home/away vs everyone, pure and simple) and 66 games (adding a 2nd home/away with the 4 division rivals)

i think just one extra game vs the division teams wld be fine

i was never really a fan of the "bracket for the final playoff seeds" thing simmons always proposed but i've heard it spun now as a way of reducing the regular season while adding an element that could theoretically help the league make up the lost revenue, and in that sense i find it intriguing

trimming the schedule without a way of making up the money to the owners just doesn't seem realistic at all to me

i like that it wld keep more teams in playoff contention, but i dont think it wld be a particularly exciting event in itself since the 8th playoff spot is generally a pretty shitty team anyway

yeah i don't like that meta playoff thing, the wild card playoff in baseball sucks

the owners who are just fantasy players with too much money anyway shd show some business acumen in trying to create a better product rather than just being b school spreadsheet drones

all the teams should play each other at once on a really big court

if a fan hits a shot from halfcourt theyre allowed to punch a ref

i love it when a 35 win team gets to run hot over a couple games and knock a 45 win team out of the offs. then they play against The Warriors

truly the pinnacle of sport

houston/toronto league pass alert

great D from harden on derozan!

holy shit gordon!!

rockets streak ends at 17

rockets had a good chance at forcing a jump ball at the end there but cp3 had to go and just tackle lowry

guess there'll be a rash of "now we must take the raptors seriously" articles tomorrow

bottom 7 teams are all within 2 games of each other. the tanking race is on

finally saw red panda last night -- pretty awesome tbh

as someone in the crowd nearby said, greatest one-trick pony ever

jamal murray pissed off lukey

these cavs jerseys, besides being ugly, are very unflattering. makes the players look frumpy.

think the warriors have fouled about 10 times tonight on 3 point shots

boban doing things again

dubs are really thin rn

yaeh they sat everyone tonight

played a tough game last night too

this blazer rookie out of Gonzaga, collins, looks like he'll be the player that myers leonard was supposed to be. leonard has the nba body, but collins already has some blossoming nba skills.

oh, and ed davis def needs to get paid next season. he is the kind of role player every successful team needs: tough, self-effacing, and knows what he is in the game to do/not do and delivers exactly that. it'd hurt the blazers disproportionately if he gets snatched away this summer.

3 way tie for the west 8th spot rn

jamal murray is trending on twitter and its all lakers fans calling him a punk lol what babies

lol calm down

Jamal Murray a pussy ass bitch. Luke had that nigga shook LMFAOOOOO. Didn’t even cross half court because he knew Luke was waiting for his bum ass.

cavs lost again last night

theyre .5 games out of 5th place

larry nance vs. deandre jordan, that is not a great matchup for the cavs

the tank

Oof. Holiday & Lopez play the entire 1st quarter, which the Bulls win by 5.

Holiday & Lopez sit the remainder of the game. Bull lose by 16. https://t.co/m1rsT43xw2

that steve francis piece was good

real good

not to detract anything from the players stories which are good but whoever they have ghost writing over there is very good

I wish they wouldn’t censor the motherf***ing words though. Dumb.

i didn't realize he basically didn't play hs ball. that's kind of insane. def one of the weirdest career arcs of recent nba players. also my favorite pg in nba street.

And tied for ROY with Elton Brand.

i find their ghostwriter hokey af tbh

yeah...I didn’t want to be the one to say it...

well i mean the form is sentimental by design, but the writing is very good, clearly the same person on the last few articles thatve bubbled up here xp

yeah they go for a certain effect and they do it very well
