NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

About to go get acupuncture for the first time. Not sure what to expect. I think I pinched a nerve in my back.

I have no faith at all that the trio of LeBron/AD/Russ could carry the Lakers to a title this season. For me it's about RW, don't trust him.

And while neither team truly has a shot to win it all it's my opinion that the Cavs are in a better position right now than the Lakers. I like the Cavs total roster better than what the Lakers have. That's why I've said what I've said.

Just outta curiosity do you think the Lakers roster right now is better than the Cavs?

A couple of things. I don't thinkhe's saying that he likes the Lakers roster better as currently constructed or even that he likes the Lakers roster better 1-15. He's saying that if they get rid of Westbrook and get pieces that fit better around Lebron and AD, they have a better chance than the Cavs.

Even then, it's not that he would like the Lakers roster better 1-15...it's about how good the 2 guys at the top of the roster are.

Exactly.

And top 2 matter more than 3-15 when discussing title chances.

He's being overly critical because I used a poor choice of words. After I explained myself better he still didn't like it.

I should have said I like the Cavs roster better. But to tell you the truth I figured that was implied with what I was saying in the first place.

You know what? I don't care. If you wanna continue this go right ahead.

Dude

You are way too much sometimes.

Go back and look at this conversation.

I disagreed with your comment that you even walked back because it is obviously false.

And you keep asking me to explain myself.

You want it to be done so badly?

Then stop commenting.

Comment # 21067.

Like I said I figured it was implied that I thought the Cavs roster was better or I would have said that stuff in the first place. Next time I'll spell it out better for you.

 

[WiggyRuss]

That is great. And I agree.

But you actually said the Cavs had a better chance at winning a title.

I think you were maybe joking with the original comment, but then you went and tried to further your point.

And it doesn’t even appear that you believe the Cavs have a better chance to win the title, because they don’t.

hmmmm....

yah....probably agree.....

this time next year I almost assuredly will not agree- and prob. not agree for quite a while.

Very good chance that is true.

Next year.

Exactly. God hates Cleveland

He might...lucky he took 2016 off and has no issues with OSU.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Yep. You know I got midday high for this jawn

Had it once and didn't help. But know others who said it did.

There’s a shit ton of band aids in here. Getting a little worried.

See how many you can stick you your forehead.

Haha! At my first appointment too.

“Uhhhh sir this no help crazy.”

Since we have even more time to think about it kind of irritating the NFL let this happen with Watson. Knowing they were gonna do what they wanted, maybe they should have handed down the discipline before teams made offers for the guy. Sucks it happened to us but easily could have been NO, Atlanta, etc.

The team who had it happen on their watch, knew about it and was complicit in it was allowed to benefit from them waiting to discipline him.

I’m kind of glad it was you guys. @bksballer89 is the only Aints guy and there’s a ton of Cleveland posters. Also bks is gonna have to deal with me rooting against his team every week this year because the Eagles have their1st round draft pick in 2023.

I got it. Stick the band aids on your forehead. When someone walks in immediately jump up and scream- the Earth is flat and the aliens are on their way! Then run out.

I hear ya....happening to NO, Atlanta or Carolina would have been kind of boring. Other than their fans (or fans of teams who have their 1st rounders) not sure enough care about those teams to get worked up over it.

It’s no big deal
