Can't believe the regular season starts tonight. Just seemed like the Finals ended a couple weeks ago.

Philly vs Celtics: 6:30PM CST TNT

GSW vs Lakers: 9:00PM CST TNT

He deserves it, the guy is hilarious on that show.

A bit shocked by that, although pleasantly. I kind of remember him talking about being done soon.

Excited to see what Ja can do this season. Definitely has MVP potential this year. Also nice watching the Suns and Warriors have some pretty shitty off seasons. I think the west will go through Minnesota or Memphis this season. Denver has some major potential too if they can stay healthy.

Another year in purgatory with my Hornets. Recycled coach, injury prone stars, and constant legal trouble.

Can’t wait.

Watching this Draymond Green preseason story as he tries to explain his mindset for acting like a complete douche bag against his own teammate is hilarious. No way Kerr is man enough to right that ship. His teammates were literally the only people in the NBA that didn’t see Green as the biggest cheap shot douche in the league. Pulling that shit on your own team…buy bye.

He’s literally still trying to claim that he’s a “leader” of the team. Haha. What a joke of a human.

Thats what I thought too. Guess thats why they backed up the Brinks truck

Draymond doesn't get suspended for decking a teammate in the face.

Meanwhile a coach ****s another employee (consensual) and gets suspended 1 yr+.

Sassy Squatch · 10-18-2022, 04:47 PM

Yeah, that Draymond thing still kind of baffles me. That was an outright KO sucker punch and they're all more butthurt that the footage got out than the actual offense that Draymond committed. I get that tensions flaring in practice happens, probably a lot, but that was well beyond the pale.

And this is the same league where everybody clutched their pearls over that "shove" a fan gave Lowry (not that that was necessarily ok either).

Yeah I am a huge GSW fan but I lost alot of respect for Dray. Can't believe TNT went ahead and allowed him to do this show. He ****ing assaulted Poole and he made comments yesterday that seemed to suggest he doesn't care about that relationship.

I am sure the extensions for Poole and Wiggins has pissed him off.

Sassy Squatch · 10-18-2022, 05:00 PM

That little vignette TNT did on Green was ****ing bizzare. I'd figured they'd have backed off on their plan to ease him into the show but it seems like they're actually going to help him rehabilitate his image. I'd say painting him as the victim was an incredibly tone deaf way to go about that.

**dirk digler** · 10-18-2022, 05:04 PM

As far as the season goes. I don't like making predictions but if everyone stays healthy I think it is Nets vs GSW in the Finals.

I remember when Romanowski broke a teammates jaw and got suspended for 1 practice. Romo must have really loved practice
