2024-25 NBA running thread

Announced attendance, 20,362

Real life attendance -- 12,000

This was in the season opening game, against a quality team, and a division rival.

What are they gonna draw in February against Utah, Washington or Memphis? Maybe 3-5,000?

 

Was Tommy Goodtimes there tossing t-shirts?

 

The Clippers -Suns matchup was the game of misfit stars. A lot of 'what happened' or ' what ifs. '

 

Kawhiiout indefinitely. Embiid missing the first three games. Draymond technical foul.

THIS LEAGUE

 

Ain't nobody needs to be tossing nothing during a Pacers-Pistons game in Detroit.

 

Except lunch.

 

It's an association.

 

COMMONWEALTH

 

Why is Popovich still coaching? His team has been a disaster for years. He’s almost as old as Kareem. Who is over him that can get rid of him and get that franchise back on track? It’s an embarrassment.

 

Yeah, it was embarrassing how Tim Duncan retired and the Spurs' front office didn't have an heir apparent in place through either the draft or free agency, so let's fire the coach so somebody gets punished for that failure.

Even though that's the wrong guy.

 

Duncan retired 8 years ago, and they've missed the playoffs the past 4, and not been especially interested in being competitive. All that being said though, I'm not sure entirely sure why an 11-point loss to the defending Western Conference champs is reason to say "fuck this guy."
