Ah, the double secret shameful acts. I get it, don't want to reveal things too soon.

Oh it was far from secret, you know what he did

I just don't like the idea of it. Maybe I'm old school. I like the regular playoff format. But I agree they should have waited until next season for this experiment.

It's hard to argue that there are fewer teams tanking this season than in past seasons. The only teams that are really tanking at all right now are the teams that desperately want to have a protected pick(Houston, Minny) and OKC which is trying to out Process the Process.

The NBA is doing whatever it can to maximize revenues. Which is why the vote for the play-in tournament was 30-0.

Players complaining about the play-in tournament once they think they might have to actually play in it is pretty silly.

Kinda hard to feel sorry for these spoiled privileged babies while literally hundreds of thousands of people have died and millions or others affected since this covid started

I really don't but then again I'm not bothered by the politics of sports players. I'm guessing it's something Trumpies don't like. "Shameful" LOL

He was the one who said something yesterday.

I'm not a Lebron hater. I think he is the best basketball player I've ever seen and that includes MJ.

wiggy said LeBron might be the biggest hypocrite in western culture, comment # 13,418. msgkings said McConnell says hold my beer, comment # 13,419. Then in comment # 13,492 you said LeBron has him beat hands down. Now if you have no issues with him why say something like that?

Good point about tanking. I still don't like this idea. But I'm probably in the minority.

You're Karening at the wrong guy, Sparky. It's thunderc that hates LeBron (and Harden and Durant and Kyrie and Draymond and....) Not flyerhawk

Yeah. I generally have no issue with players doing whatever they can to get the most money they can. But I don't care much for them whining about things being done to maximize revenues when those revenues are being used to pay them.

@flyerhawk

Hey man, MY BAD!

LOL. All good. And I ain't no damn OKC fan!!

 

[Wamu]

Yeah I goofed up. Already said something about it.

 

[Wamu]

LOL. All good. And I ain't no damn OKC fan!!

Well shit what am I thinking? I'm all mixed up like pasta primavera (shoutout to the Beastie Boys!).

Wilt Chamberlain once averaged over 48 minutes a game in a season. You think he would be doing that today?

Old Hoss Radburn once pitch 678 innings. You think he would be doing that today?

This notion that modern athletes are pussies is just ridiculous. Modern pro sports is played a vastly higher level than it was played 20,30, or 50 years ago. This is why pitchers are pitching fewer and fewer innings but more and more pitchers are routinely throwing the ball 100+ mph.

Modern athletes are cheating more than ever.

it is so rampant the league can’t do a dam thing about it.

weights make you stronger, But they do not put 5-10 mph on your fastball, if that were the case, years ago , pitchers would have pumped heavily. PEDS, is what changed the game at plate, and now on the mound.

Hate is a strong word, I don’t hate any of them. Lebron definitely is a hater though, Harden is lazy, Durant is insecure, Kyrie is crazy and Draymond is, let’s see he really isn’t worth talking about.

Sports hate, not hate hate.
