2024-25 NBA running thread

I enjoy Inside the NBA. But the amount of calories spent on the fate of that show, and the fate of 40 -year old song Roundball Rock... I just don't get it.

 

The Blazers have a three-game win streak for the first time since Lillard was wearing their jersey.

 

Watch enough of ESPN's pre-game and halftime shows and you'll think of nothing but Inside the NBA

 

So do Malika and SAS and all those dolts get fired?

 

Sitting alone in my dark apartment, aroused, watching Dalton Knecht score 21 straight for the Lakers. Has 37, early in the fourth. Loved this pick at the time and really, really loving it now.

 

I watched him against the Suns in the preseason and immediately placed a bet on him to win Rookie of the Year. His shot is a thing of beauty.

 

If only his name was Bronny.

 

NBA talent evaluators have a way of galaxy-braining their way into valuing potential over production

 

I denounce this.

 

LeBron says he's taking break from social media

Well then……bye.
Not an airport. Don’t need arrivals and departures.

 

I love the NBA, but goddamn, they need to move the three point line back.

These games are getting tedious to watch.

 

Zach Lowe always says (said?) that the existential problem is that 3 points is worth so much more than 2. I find the game to be very tedious at times when every play is hunting for a 3. We are now approaching 50% of all FGs being from which is just boring.

I have always been a big proponent of making it a horizontal line at the top of the key (or a couple of feet behind) — it doesn’t eliminate the shot, but it makes it easier to defend.
