2022 NBA Offseason thread

I watched the 3 pt contest last night. That Quigley girl can flat out shoot.

She's a sniper.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Good to see Wiseman out there.

Dunks, blocks, a 3.

So far so good 4 min in.

 

[Shanemansj13]

MJ's all around game, offense and defense in his prime, was better than any guard in the league. He had the complete package.

Absolutely, doesn’t mean he was the most explosive player ever

 

[DJ Fieri]

Eh. He's more explosive off the dribble. But MJ could back him down

More explosive than MJ? No way.

@The Q

Guess you were right about Payton Watson's upside.

How you go.from averaging 2 ppg in College to 19, 7 and 2 damn near overnight?

Yes, it's just summer league.

But, I underestimated this kid.

He went to a team that went to the final 4 and lost no regular rotation players. Coach probably thought he could hide him and use him as an anchor as a sophomore.

I'm way too much of a cheapskate to do this food delivery thing... I'd begrudge a fee of almost any size.

(I don't even get pizza delivered... never have)

This, lol. Of course, my brother married a doctor so anytime he's buying he flaunts it, even though he himself doesn't make any more than I do lol. Of course, I bought my house while she bought theirs. If he screws up that marriage (he seems to be working in that direction), he's probably living in my spare bedroom,

 

[Mebert]

I don't mind the fee, I value my time a lot. Fee is a bargain. I stopped doing it because I rarely would get all my items, or good would be cold.

Like Mebert said, ucla surprisingly kept everyone from that run.

I believe he had some injuries as well

He’s a really good athlete and his d potential was obvious. The question for him will be the jumper

But he has the talent to be a factor without shooting like a dort.

 

[shopson67]

This is great. Good for you young fella.

There's a fine line between confidence and arrogance.

Ja ain't beating MJ in a game of 1-on-1 in his prime.

Luckily for Ja, there's no way to disprove him, even if everyone else (and probably himself) knows that MJ would've eaten his heart.

 

[shopson67]

That should be illegal. There's absolutely no reason for it to be any warmer than about 60 at that hour.

There's also absolutely no reason for humans to chose to live in the desert.

Jordan, Bird, and Magic are starting to fade from memory as fewer active fans of basketball had seen him play. Only a matter of time until they are viewed like Oscar and Chamberlain. Always be all time greats, but people know it by the legend, not first hand.

 

[DJ Fieri]

The wife and I door dash when neither one of us want to cook or drive and go out to a restaurant.

Had a five cheese lasagna for dinner with cheese garlic bread.

A house twice the size, for half the money, and less.crime, pollution and traffic than LA?

My family is a 4 hour drive away.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Almost 7.5 years ago Stu Scott passed away from a rare form of cancer.

Fucking ESPN legend.

Straight BS.

Moving to Vegas next summer.....beats the winters of NY.....LOL.

Lol dang, Deej. Find an area in the country and stick to it...

 

[DJ Fieri]

Lol dang, Deej. Find an area in the country and stick to it...

Stop it.

I wanted to go to Vegas....the wife did too....then she wanted to go to Nashville because her fam is here. Guess who won? Now.....she is disenfranchised with Nashville....so we're onto Vegas next summer.....

So I won in the long run....right?

 

[ChrisperJ10]

I swear, I.said the samething when I saw it.

Looks like a goddamn tea pot or Alladins lamp.

 

[Retroram52]

You sure you want to move to Vegas, DJ? We are in a 5-year drought and large water reservoirs like Lake Meade that supply Vegas are so far down they are finding dead bodies in barrels and cars and sech. This is a quote:

"A massive drought-starved reservoir on the Colorado River, Lake Meade has become so depleted that Las Vegas now is pumping water from deeper within Lake Mead where other states downstream don't have access."

Phoenix is nearly in the same boat. No pun intended. And dudes, todays' temps here in Phoenix, 113 degrees Fahrenheit. Forecast the same for the next week. It's a dry heat and WE LOVE IT HERE!
