2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

[Black Adam]

The Jokic/Embiid debate is alive and well.

I see. I was trying to see what race had to do with it...

That's a good question. Guess you'll have to ask the person that said it.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Delusional. Boston beat them and then CLE beat them 4-1. Washington was a tough matchup and maybe they get 2 LOL

 

[Wamu]

Hakeem's my favorite C of all time.

@Mecca doesn't like him though.

gotta go...

The same guy that thinks the only reason basketball has been successful in Dallas is having two of the best euros to ever play the game.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Wow that's just so wrong. Can't believe you're playing the race card. Incredible.

Nobody will agree with you.

1. Why would you ever think I give a fuck about people agreeing with me?
2. People in NBA media go gah gah over white players that can dominate in a sport that is primarily black now. It's why Nash gets 2 MVPs. It's why Joker gets 2 MVPs. It's why Bird won 3 in a row.

The Jokic/Embiid debate is alive and well.

It's not a debate. NBA media hates Joel Embiid. He's a permanent fixture on the All-NBA 2nd Team because of it. Guy is going to be the first 5 since Kareem to average over 30 a game in back-to-back seasons and it won't matter because they don't like the guy.

You are going to have to work hard to look dumber than this, I mean real hard. 13 out of a total of 67 MVPs have been white, and that’s leaving in the early years when most players were white. You are being racist for no reason. Bird was a top 5 all time player, period.

 

[fightinfunbags]

What did the Dream have to say about defense?

Marketing and financial success…yep. I stand by it. The shrewd owner of the Dallas Mavericks has decided to have a white guy as the face of their franchise for the entirety of his ownership.

Yep. NBA media does what it can to prop up white players.

Dumb dude, I mean really dumb. 2 of the best Euros, you know like in non-American, of all time. You diminish how good they were by saying stuff like this.

But yet the totals work out pretty much like percentages say they should. Hmm.

Fact or fiction?

CJ McCollum: There’s rumblings of certain [Raptors] being unhappy… They’re gonna move someone

CJ McCollum on Raptors: I think in terms of what they need or what they’re lacking, something’s gonna happen – I don’t know what. There’s rumblings about certain players on the team not being…

I am sure nobody is happy the way things are going, The only person that matter is Masai. I can see him retooling, I can see him blowing it up.

I think FVV may go. I cant see the Raps giving him 30 million a year with him being so banged up the last few years.

No I don’t. Somebody has to be good to be the face of a franchise. You know what’s kind of funny? I have the same kind of “fact” you had yesterday that you used to draw some out there conclusion. I’m doing the same thing today and now you’re Fred Sanford staggering around grabbing at your chest.

 

[wildturkey]

Looks like he is acting with a fat suit. Doesn’t look like the same guy

He looks like his most strenuous activity of the day is putting on his sweat pants

Then they should trade him to the lakers for those picks lol

The only way your case could be proved in this case would be if Cuban drafted more white picks in the 1st round than other owners. He does not, far from it in fact. You act like he just knew they would be good enough to be the face of the franchise. Further discussion of this should be beneath even you.

Should the president of the players union be saying he is hearing about disgruntled players on another team? The thought that I came away with.
