Arena The NBA Thread

Well, they managed to work it out in the end.

 

AD’s foul trouble was annoying.

 

The Zion last second dunk against the Suns was



And I love the suns being upset over it. Zion came out after the game and said that he normally doesn’t act like that, but he got caught up in the fact that he remembered the Suns beating the Pels in the playoffs… so this was payback.

Delicious.

 

RIP Paul Silas

 

@CT-867-5309 A little bizarre to see the Pistons rocking a green & white aesthetic.

 

It's based on a local church gym where guys would play during the summer. I don't like it.

 

So many fun games today. Pelicans won in OT, Knicks were in control all night and wow that finish in Atlanta.

 

I believe Bogdanovic had 25 of his 38 in the 3rd quarter; Pistons gave the Lakers a good game.

 

Atlanta's Bogdanovic had a good game last night as well, until he caused the foul at the end of OT that I thought cost Atlanta the game, right before Trae sunk a shot that I thought won Atlanta the game. If Atlanta doesn't get crushed in Memphis tonight, I will be surprised. Two of their best players are out and they played an OT game yesterday.

OKC should do a church league uniform. Michael Cage is constantly referencing his church league, so much so that they have mocked him in the arena.

 

I don't know how to follow Michael Cage's church league references. I'll just lament that Cade Cunningham is indeed out for the season with a shin injury. I guess I should be grateful that such injuries usually don't linger long term. They should have just had the surgery asap instead of letting him walk around on it for a month.

Soul Glo. I should have followed Michael Cage's church league with a Soul Glo reference. The best Jheri curl in NBA history.

This was one of the best games of the season. I cannot believe how the Celtics just short-circuited for half the 3rd quarter and then half of the 4th quarter, to come back and force an overtime at the end. And the Lakers played impressive defense along that stretch. Crazy game.

 

This block

 

Killian Hayes' sudden turn from worst offensive player in the NBA to passable offensive player confidently taking and making shots down the stretch over the last month has been most thrilling. It's been like watching one of those high school kids who never gets to play get off the bench for the last game of his life and just start swishing threes.

 

Been had a team since Ja got there. Don’t forget… they very well could’ve beaten the Warriors in the playoffs last year had Ja not gotten injured.

 

It's a good time to be a Knicks fan.

 

In this unforgiving climate, Suns owner Robert Sarver has sold the team for $4 billion, ten times the price he paid for it in 2004.

In other news, Dame has passed Clyde as Portland's all time leading scorer.

I pose the question to the thread: who's the greater player? Clyde or Dame?

 

Anthony Day-to-Davis, I’m sorry Tunes

 

as of right now clyde, but it will likely be dame when it's all said and done if he stays healthy. i would love to see him win a ring in portland.

i'd still rate clyde slightly above dame for now because he was the best player on a team that made the finals twice, and a key player on a team that won the championship. dame has a couple of signature playoff moments, but hasn't been able to get over the hump in the postseason, making one conference finals where they were swept. and a lot of that has to do with terry stotts, the quality of his teammates, and being blocked by super teams, but i'd still like to see him have a little more success when it matters before i put him ahead of clyde.

 

Barkley's "Street Clothes" is the best moniker I've seen.

 

chose to watch clippers/sixers rather than bucks/nets. good choice so far.
