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

Was at the Mavericks vs Kings game last night. Kings up all night and then Doncic/Irving take over at the end. Doncic passing game is on point is view to see in person. My wife's cousin has 5th row seats in Sac but his Kings team lets him down more often then not.

Yeah - James was fantastic today.

What a weird game. I just don't really know what Ham was trying to do with the bench rotations. Which is mostly par for the course for Darvin, but he seemed to have gotten somethings figured out.

How do you have a bench play about 60 minutes between them and do...nothing? I think they had 2 points total? They barely even shot. Just kinda went out there to pass the ball around the perimeter and absorb minutes.

I guess you could argue that he's trying to set up playoff rotations? Because that's kinda how most playoff games tend to go. It was just a weird game.

Clear hack on the shoulder. Refs were screwing him all game too.

I also had the privilege of seeing the GOAT again in person a few days ago. Decent chance it will be for the last time too.

Bronny declaring for the NBA draft.

USC freshman Bronny James is declaring for the 2024 NBA Draft. James, 19, also is entering NCAA transfer portal to maintain flexibility. The combo guard will work out for and visit NBA teams and make a draft decision based on evaluation. pic.twitter.com/azJgWNNqmQ

Orlando keeps trying to fool me into thinking they're good. They'll go on a nice tear and win 8 out of 10 games and then once they get close to overtaking the 2-4 seeds, they'll start sucking and get blown out by the Hornets. Like they are at the moment...

BWillie · 04-05-2024, 06:05 PM

I want to go to the San Antonio @ Oklahoma City game next week but I'm afraid Wemby will be shut down and SGA & Jalen Williams won't play. They've been out at least 2 games in a row and by next week the #1 seed may be out of reach.

I'm surprised a team with two Vogners and a Markelle Fultz can even be above .500

Paulo is a god

The Wagners are fine. Fultz is meh. Their problem is they don't get much offensively from their guards. They spent a high pick on Anthony Black from Arkansas and he hasn't been good so far and I don't think he will be.

How is this one working out for you? 4-0 since the post.

While the Warriors have no chance of winning the 'ship they have been fun to watch the last month.

Anthony Black was never good.
