It's time for the new NBA season!
It's been a ridiculous offseason, what with the Lakers bringing in Russell Westbrook to create the league's most fascinating experiment, the Sixers stopped pretending that Ben Simmons had a future in Philly (and then he finally showed up to camp this week!), and a solid percentage of the league was determined to show their entire ass regarding the vaccine. In fact, Kyrie is still out here completely showing his ass and finding new and exciting ways to pretend that he's not as anti-science as we know Captain Flat Earth is.
Oh, and as for actual basketball, everyone somehow got better, except for the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks, who got marginally worse. Luka Doncic spent the summer attempting to win the Olympics by himself and seems to have found a level even further beyond Super Saiyan 2.
But honestly, screw the NBA. The WNBA Finals are going on right now and they've been an absolute banger, with the Mercury going into overtime to tie the series with the Sun at one game apiece. Go watch that, I promise it is worth it.

The Sky have a 2-1 advantage, absolutely destroyed the Mercury in game 3, and can win the championship at home in game 4 (in a best of 5) today at 3pm Eastern
Here's hoping the Mercury have something left and can force a Game 5 in Phoenix
No way, Sky all the way
This is a Sloot fan thread now
Well that was a 4th quarter meltdown
So, y'know, things are going well.
Lol , get Dunked Ben. If he didn't think Philly was not going to Philly, he's beyond a fool.
extremely good shit
I imagine it’s because video leaked of him avoiding an end of practice huddle and then dipping.
Anecdotally I have seen a five or six Curry jerseys, three Simmons and a single lone Kyrie Nets while out walking (we are still in lockdown.)
I have not been able to talk to them to see if they know about the Simmons saga.
WNBA beeves are probably the best beeves in US sports
Basically, I’m not putting a lot of stock in how they start the year but I also am not saying they WILL FOR SURE be good by the end of the year
Ten team league
I had 1 at pick
Nikola Jokic - had to go Joker
Followed that up with Van Vleet and Gobert - 10 category league, get a mix of quality stats from those 2
Dejounte Murray
Buddy Hield
Jarrett Allen - going to be a beast
Jalen Geeen - big breakout year for him
Nickiel Alexander-Walker - also breakout year
Jakob Poeltl - basically free defensive stars and boards
Kyle Kuzma - risk pick here hoping new scenery does him good
Keldon Johnson
Saddiq Bey
Justin Holiday
Rounded out the last 3 picks with quality numbers. Nothing flashy nothing bad.
He will never work with Lebron (can’t shoot) and might end up being ok with AD, but it can take a bit for pair to figure it out
I think Lebron and Russ on the court together is completely unplayable
Basically you hope he can regain his KD-less Thunder form running the 2nd unit and as a starter only when Lebron is out
Well yeah he needs to be traded for another bad contract (or at least what is perceived as bad), or to a team dumb enough to think Russ isn’t on a bad contract, and that’s likely to be very fucking apparent with what I think is going to be a train wreck fit in LA
So not literally untradeable, Russ just isn’t a fungible teammate like we’ve seen GM Lebron move in January in years past
I used to hate the Balls (snicker), but now I think they are great players. Their dad is still a buttface though.
Ageless wonder.
Here is a video of Fox's shoe popping off and knocking the ball away from him.
Yeah they nicknamed Wiggins “Harrison Barnes” and are trying to run back the original champ team
Anybody want our useless point guards?
KD with the actual D.
Big "questions answered by my T-shirt" energy here. A statement like that says, "I did all of it and then some."
I hadn't even heard the accusations before I saw that but I definitely searched to see what the guy 100% did after seeing that.
They Streisand'd the hell out of it with that.
ArizonaSports interview with the guy whose tweet I posted.
Steph probably earns $20k per shot.
This is the one is like peak Harden. Goes on for a good ten seconds, ref calls it in his favour, announcers cover for it.
His game was insufferable, I'm not sure if it still holds true but at least a year or so ago he had made more free throws in his career than field goals.
