The Official NBA Thread: RIP Bill Walton / Celtics to the NBA Finals

[lawdog1]

What even is 2024 anymore man?

The simulation's been broken

Sort of related to this -

Have I just not been paying enough attention until now or has the number of people with facial (mainly nose) piercings increased like exponentially in the last 6 months or so?

Or is because I’ve been living part time in California’s Bay Area since last August?

When OKC has retro night and wears the sonic jerseys

Can't hold onto hate forever

Unless it's the 49ers or Astros

Good for him. Everyone get paid.

It’s market value, but it’s crazy like Hayward or Kemba stayed on a rosters because cutting them early would be ripped, but coaches like Vogel get to get paid $40 million over the next four years by the Suns to do nothing.

Meanwhile, he’ll probably get a job in the near future and have concurrent incomes from the Suns and whoever hires him.

Doc Rivers’ Son STANDING ON BUSINESS!

I like the energy Austin but he still don't know what he talking about saying 30 NBA dudes can make the NFL, then he said at TE or WR.

He thinks it's that easy to get off the line and get open vs physical CB's that run 4.3's-4.4's.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

That’s my GOAT

Most exceptional athletes can play most sports well and can be taught to. It's why it's called athletics... Athletes do it. Conversation is silly. The anger is silly.

George Fant refused to play football.

He was a basketball player.

They asked him to the combine and now he’s 8 years strong in the NFL and still going.

He’s an O-LINEMAN. Don’t even make me dip into Tight Ends.

Knew him when he was a little kid. Been a hooper his whole life. Great move for him

How many exceptional all-around athletes have we seen? Jim Brown, Bo, Deion, maybe Bron and AI who else? I know the NBA thread think football is just running, throwing and catching but nah.

Suns owner got too much money. Paying Vogel his contract now this massive one for Bud? Man send me a dollar damn.

 

[pdino]

Precious starting. Is Thibs forced to dust off Alec Burks/ Jericho Sims?

 

[ace]

I was lowkey pulling for the Knicks but this is another year another Thibbs burning his players out with too many minutes. Even if they make it through this series there’s no way they can keep at the pace with a short staff and the main guys playing 40+ minutes a night. It’s never sustainable but that’s Thibbs style and the wheels always fall off doing it.

 

[picasso swerve]

Talkin bout Tobias Harris stealing money.

This the biggest theft right here.

Don't think we can blame Thibbs for Randle, Bogdanovic and Robinson being out.

Brunson getting a rest early

I dont get it. People want Thibs to play Mamadi Diakite and DaQuan Jeffries.

I can't lie I be kinda rooting for 'em too cuz they haven't gone anywhere since Bill Clinton was in office then I remember how funny Knicks fans are when they lose. I'm 50/50.

 

[airmax1fanatic]

the knicks' turnover issue continues..

 

[Mark Antony]

Charlie Ward, AI etc. you're overcomplicating it. I agree a high performing natural athlete given the time and gained knowledge of each sport would do alright.

Alec Burks and Sims, Thibs is listening

Coaches union is strong. White Doc and Filipino Doc have done a great job as President and VP

Donte came to play tonight
