Can't believe the NBA Season is starting tonight. Way to early but here we go.

Lakers vs Nuggets: 6:30PM

Suns vs Warriors: 9PM

Both on TNT

Still better than bron in 2011

Considering it isn't even remotely close, even more hilarious.

LeBron with 23-14-12 on 61% TS while being a +33 tonight.

On the season he's averaging 25-7-8 on 62% TS

He's doing this while having the most minutes played IN HISTORY.

I don't say this lightly, but it might be the most impressive athletic accomplishment in the history of…

The history of sport.

A-Rod: "We can be in this (fight) for five years, 10 years, whatever. We’re not going to let go."

Lore: "We will use every ounce of effort here to enforce the contract that Glen broke."

Glen Taylor has barred both from back hallways of arena and communication with team execs. https://t.co/AeRpY14qJG

So this is a massive shitshow. Fitting for that organization.

It should be rather cut and dry, right? How would this process drag out over years?

I accidentally clicked on this thread as the page was refreshing and I see the thing about not making this a Lebron thread did a lot of good.

Somebody should lock up Glen Taylor in a chicken coop and set the thing on fire

[RealSNR]

Seriously, this pisses me off.

You own a cheap piece of shit franchise. You have no interest in making that cheap piece of shit franchise anything other than a cheap piece of shit franchise. Some big dick swingers with money come around and see an investment opportunity, which attracts a couple of successful leaders in Connelly and Finch, and all of a sudden you get pissy about selling off your cheap piece of shit before realizing it doesn't have to be a cheap piece of shit if you just put in some money here or there to try to make it occasionally successful.

He's pissy because he knows deep down HE'S the actual cheap piece of shit. If Minnesota fans had any ounce of pride in their team, they'd publicly badmouth Glen Taylor until he caves. Billboards, airplanes, signs in the arena, gluing themselves to the court... all of it.

What does any of this have to do with Lebron?

Not necessarily. A legal battle over contractual interpretation could conceivably last that long and cost these guys many millions.

Looks to me like Taylor had second thoughts about selling after they got good, but we probably won’t know the outcome of this for years.

[BWillie]

A few things.....

Why do the Suns suck so bad? They had Durant, Booker and Beal all playing tonight. Played a SGA-less Thunder in PHX and got absolutely destroyed.

The Knicks lost but Brunson goes for 61 points. He's by far the most underappreciated player in the league. How you can be this good, in New York and underrated is beyond me.

The Rockets are better without that shitball Shengoon. What a ****ing bball hack.

Goes to show how different NBA is compared to NFL. MJ is the GOAT bc he was great for a good stretch of time but Montana is somehow not.

Montana was just like MJ in his career. 4-0 SB record, 11 TD’s/0 INT’s and a 100+ passer rating in all 4 games.

That will probably never be done again.

To not throw an INT in 4 SBs is ****ing insane.

Nah, he won’t. Also he does that in most games. Guessing the creator of that isn’t too familiar with him.

[Hammock Parties]

Are we looking at the same schedule? Quite literally half of those opponents are tanking.
