The night two double header is missing 3 hall of famers so what we watching tonight?

[Kblaze8855]

No Embiid, George, or Leonard across the two games.

So what’s on the agenda?

Magic/Heat

Pelicans/Bulls

Grizzlies/Jazz?

Cavs/Raptors?

The league intentionally avoids compelling matchups that would compete with the showcase games so they are pretty much ****ing us on purpose.

Opening week already lost its steam. Wemby doesn’t play till tomorrow.

I Guess I’ll do Bulls/Pelicans to see how Zion and Lonzo look. But I’m not going outta my way. I’ll just get home when I get home and find it in league pass.

I pay for it but I assume it’s free week one like always.

[Kblaze8855]

Wemby with an actual point guard vs Dallas tomorrow followed by Nuggets Thunder. So Thursday won’t be a waste

[jayfan]

I'm still intrigued by Suns/Clips for the Suns side of things. Curious to see how they look with a real floor general out there. Plumlee may fit nicely with that group, too.


.

[Real Men Wear Green]

Magic/Heat. Orlando is a solid playoff team so should be a good measuring stick for a Heat team that I don;t think was ever able to play at full strength.

PG Rozier
SG Herro
SF Butler
PF or C Adebato
C or PF ?

Could be a good team. Could also be a bunch of injuries but whatever. That's who I'd pick, after them watch Memphis who could also be dangerous to the West.

[ArbitraryWater]

We are watching All Wars Are Bankers Wars tonight

[iamgine]

Memphis for Yuki Kawamura and Zach Edey

[Kblaze8855]

I actually wouldn’t mind some Morant/Edey content. Question is will I watch the Jazz to get it.

That game should have been against the spurs.

[Neal Romer]

Best player on television tonight is Justin Jefferson.

[tpols]

And thus we have the Load Management era already upon us. I haven't played Halo in over a decade. Might pick up an Xbox.

That’s tomorrow. The nfl can’t save us

I brought mine back out recently for the new Dragon Ball game

[Neal Romer]

Oh shit. Today is Wednesday. I'm a bit out of sorts apparently.

I blame the intense emotional roller coaster of the James Fam making history last night.

[Neal Romer]

That's tomorrow broski.


Lets face it, every day without Lebron is the same. Theyre not worth distinguishing from each other.

[Kblaze8855]

I acutely Keep thinking today is Thursday as well. I take my trash out Thursday night and twice today I have walked towards it with the intention of doing it.

Still not sure why Warriors didn't get not only an opening night game but nothing on opening week.

[Real Men Wear Green]

Curry is still a superstar but the overall team doesn't have high expectations. Not saying I agree but that could be the thinking.

There's enough LeBron comedians around here. Do something original.

Is Paul starting?

[Meticode]

I think it will be highly dependent on Kuminga taking the next step. Heild needs to keep doing what he's done the last 3-4 seasons. He's #2 in 3PM in the NBA during that timespan only behind Curry amazingly enough. Wiggins also needs a bounce-back hear. Last year he struggled compared to before that. He's still only 29.

They could make the playoffs or at least play in but they aren't a serious contender without another superstar. Odd the top of my head I don't see them beating OKC or Denver and there's a number of other teams in sure that would beat them.

Curry is still must see TV. Aren't they one of the Christmas games this season?

[Full Court]

Lonzo Ball's supposed to be playing. So there's that.

[Kblaze8855]

Aaaand Zion isn’t playing either.

[Im Still Ballin]

Memphis for Edey. I've put a lot of stock in him so I'm invested in every game he plays. Will try not to overreact; I'll try wait till 20-30 games in.

[Im Still Ballin]

Also interested in Houston. They could be sneaky good for three reasons: depth, Sengun, and Sheppard. I'm intrigued by Reed but more so interested to see if Sengun takes another leap forward. He's got his first big contract now. Will he prove he's worth it?

[Patrick Chewing]

When’s Caitlyn Clark playing again??

[GOBB]

What no Draymond Simmons returning to the Nets love?

[Axe]

Still not sure why Warriors didn't get not only an opening night game but nothing on opening week.
Simple. The warriors aren't the same dynasty team they once were anymore.

What an obsessed sore loser.

[Full Court]

Lol at Axe having yet another massive bitch fit in this thread. :roll: He can't help himself.

That aside, there was plenty to watch last night. Giannis played, Curry played, Evan Mobley balled out. Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo combined for12 points....

An interesting young team to watch in the next few years.


You really are either one of the worst trolls or biggest idiots I’ve ever seen when you talk about that guy. I assume it’s just bad trolling because I don’t generally think of you as stupid. You’re way too emotionally invested into that man if your perspective is warped enough to believe shit like that.I keep thinking it must be trolling. But you keep saying it. In such a serious way. I don’t know.
:oldlol:

[Stephonit]

The NBA wants to move on from Curry and hook viewers on younger stars. Curry not being Nike's "Chosen One" they don't treat him like the LeSser player either. Nike doesn't want Curry to be acknowledged as the greatest player of this era and be viewed as a legit challenger to Jordan which Curry actually is. That would be a disaster for Nike. That's why in a preseason game the Warriors thrashed the Lakers winning by 58 points the story put out is about Bronny scoring his highest yet. (Huh?) That's why the Warriors vs. Trail Blazers game last night instead of being featured wasn't advertised and easy to miss. Is it because no one is interested in the Warriors anymore? Nope. Just look at the NBA feed on Youtube and see that the Warriors vs. Trail Blazers game is the most viewed.

It's actually eye-opening how the media blatantly manipulates stories contrary to logical expectation when you notice and really try to understand what is going on. The propaganda from vested interests is ubiquitous.

Could be that. Or that Suns/Clippers had way more star power and didn't feature the worst team in the league..

[Phoenix]

I didn't give a single shit about last night's slate of games. Definitely watching Spurs/Mavs tonight.

@ Tpols, the last really good Halo was like Reach on 360. The most recent one IMO isn't worth picking up an Xbox for.

[Kblaze8855]

I saw a Morey comment that George will play few or zero back to backs this season as well. They’re basically gonna throw 15 games while pretending to care about winning.

Some of those games are national tv too. Vs Dallas on ABC and one on tnt. There are some back to backs that are both national games. They aren’t gonna play vs the Thunder. A couple knick games are on a back to back and nationally televised.

I assume the league is going to tell them to sit them out the first half of a back to back so they can be available for the big games but Philly probably doesn’t give a ****.

And Harden choked again.

Yeah. Was that why Axe was throwing a bitch fit? Didn't know he was a Harden fan, but it makes sense that he would be.

No idea. I was just adding that to your list of noteworthy things from last night.

Celtics will have to go without Sam Hauser tonight.

It will be hard to see this team flourish if their key players keep getting on sidelined from time to time.


He's an extremely stupid little pimply teenage dork with no future. Seems like someone who has deep issues and low self esteem. Possibly in the closet. Just put him on ignore. The forum is much better without seeing her repetitive immature nonsense. .

They're not even pretending to care about winning at this point. But kudos to them for dispelling that notion from the get-go

[Full Court]

This kind of tenure definitely leaves fans stamping their feet.
