2018-19 NBA Thread

Magic is excellent at one job and it's the one job he alone is qualified for.

Being Magic Johnson.

 

Except the last time he was really Magic Johnson was 1992.

 

Preemptive strike on my part. It's inevitable the WWL will do have him on as part of the ongoing coverage of LakerWatch 2019.

 

In the Big Fuckin Deal department, the Pistons, in a game they have to win to make the playoffs, lead the Knicks by 24 at halftime at MSG. Blake Griffin is not playing.

 

Clearly he’s too stupid to read what his own shirt says. Literacy is for poor people not NBA players.

 

That excuse is complete and utter bull. No one chose that shirt but him. It was a middle finger at the owners and the fans after he was a jackass about wanted a trade. He clearly has no one in the locker room to tell him it's a bad look.

 

Every team with a .500 record or better made the playoffs. That's some pretty weak shit. It’s basically the same for the NHL if you add OTL to the loss column, only 1 team with a winning record missed the playoffs

 

Anyone know if D Wade is retiring?

 

It's nice to see them make the playoffs, even though they won't be in them for very long

 

Eh. I'll maybe buy the fan angle, but F the ownership end, and he wasn't a jackass. The team made their bed on this one. Every single person who follows the league knew he was never going to sign an extension in New Orleans (nor should he). This was ALWAYS going to happen. The front office needed to act. Instead they chose to pretend they were blindsided and hurt.
