2016-17 Running NBA Thread

So, of course they come back to win 106-104.

 

Good Lord, will the Thunder ever get over losing Durant? From trolling with the mascot to a fight at the end of the first half. And then Curry shuts them up.

 

People still aren't over LeBron taking his talents to Miami. Didn't Durant have something to say about that? Now, when he bolts and goes to a team that set an NBA record for wins people are supposed to forget?

 

Meanwhile, Silver comes up with something straight out of the Bud Selig playbook over the rest issue: Let the owners monitor the situation.

Silver sends memo to owners on resting players

 

It's funny because people used to get mad at players just cashing a pay cheque, now they're mad cause they want to win.

The bottom line is fans hate their lives and resent players for "playing a kids game".

 

Chris Bosh, Chris Webber, Isiah Thomas and Baron Davis are appearing on a NBA post game show named "Players Only" on Mondays on TNT.

Bosh to appear on TNT's new series as studio analyst - NBA.com

I caught some of this tonight and was pleasantly surprised. As you may or may not know "Player" in this context means a former NBA star and also a "cool/hip" black person.

The show slips into black slang at times that even I (I am black, but old) sometimes find a little hard to follow. Yet it is a solid highlight show and avoids the more clownish cartoons, photoshops, funny hats and beefs that appear on Inside the NBA.

 

THe bottom line is that sports, while a serious business for some, exists as the candy department for the consumers. Its taken seriously by the fans but it is of little consequence and exists as a diversion. The bottom line is that the money involved delludes those making it into thinking they are of importance beyond the game that is played.

 

How dare TV discriminate against the dorky and uninteresting?

 

Wrong, the consumer believes both sides care about them.

The consumer is a moron.

 

The Thunder are a bunch of whiny little bitches.

Carry on.

 

Bad hombre. Muy bad.
