Arena The NBA Thread

Another huge comeback win for the Knicks!

 

How about them Mavs lol. 14/15 against the Wizards.

 

I've basically been able to sit down and watch 3 full Cavs games this year-- the opener vs. Boston, LeBron's 57 vs. Was, and tonight. Clearly my watching habits explain their struggles, I'm v sorry xblackout DarthIntegral

PS Giannis is even sicker than last year

PPS omg we like have a bench! They play defense kind of!

PPPS JR SMITH!!!!!

 

Celtics are off to a good start to the season, better than I expected anyways.

Getting pummeled by the hornets now though.

 

and still won

 

my favorite movie.

 

TOM YOU BETTER BE SERIOUS AND NOT MAKING FUN ON THE NEWSIES

 

i would never kid about newsies. my favorite character is probably spot collins, who constantly has to remind everyone that he's from brooklyn. but "crutchie" is also pretty amazing. and young christian bale singing about new mexico in a new york accident. it really has everything.

 

WE NEED A GOOD ASSASSINATION
WE NEED AN EARTHQUAKE OR A WAR
“How ‘bout a 3-1 lead disintegration?”
HEY STUPID THAT AIN’T NEWS NO MORE!

 

Idk I think pinstripes add two inches to your vertical, sorta like how racing stripes add 10 horsepower to your car.

 

Embiid with almost a quadruple double. If he stays healthy the team is playoff bound. Glad for the franchise.

 

i watched the end of the game and embiid was ridiculous. they had bogut in the game just to stop him and he was helpless. they also seem to have the right pieces around him with covington, saric, redick, and especially simmons. will they get anything from fultz? can they get an important role player to bolster the bench in exchange for jah? in any case, i'm mostly just glad for A Chorus of Disapproval.

 

looking forward to the Celtics and Warriors tonight, should be a good game and I like both teams.

 

I don't like either team and I still plan to watch.

 

Celtics v. Warriors is certainly one of the bigger marquee games in this early part of the NBA season, but it's a long way from being a preview of the NBA Finals as the hype media machine is describing it.

The Warriors should be at full strength will Curry coming back, and I'm sure they'll be locked in for this game as the Celtics are coming in with a 13 game winning streak. It will be interesting to see how Klay and the rest of the Warriors defend Kyrie now that he's not playing along side LeBron. Kyrie has torched the Dubs in quite a few games. On the flipside, Kyrie has been D-ing up as of late, so it will be interesting how he performs tonight.

The keys for the Warriors is not turn the ball over frequently, lock down defensively and stay out of foul trouble.

 

Hey look it's one of the only times during the season I can whole-hog root for Kyrie Irving!

...god if you collected a bunch of my posts in this thread side by side I'd look like such a schizo. THANKS NBA

 

I mean. I can't even decide who/what to root for in that game. Other then injuries.

 

Not sure that Walton sitting Lonzo out in these 4th quarters is smart strategy; struggles aside, how else is he going to learn, get better at the end of games? Also hope Embiid drops 47+ on another team, so his career high in points doesn’t remain against the Lakers.

 

lonzo has a lot of time to learn. he's 19. lakers have no incentive to tank this year so walton is trying to win games. not sure that being in at the end of close games is what lonzo needs to break out of his slump, could make it worse if he costs them a game or something. he'll be back in at crunch time as soon as he shows signs of snapping out of it.

 

I know we've yet to really see what Fultz can do, but Ainge's trading down to 3 to get Tatum, plus another first pick, is looking rather masterful right now. and if the Nets pick ends up being after 5, which looks like it will be early on, he'll have destroyed that trade too.
