NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

[msgkings322]

Wow, Cowboys have trailed by 20 or more in their last 6 home games. Never been done before.

NFL should really look into flexing thanksgiving games IMO or at minimium at least swapping the times. Detroit is good enough now where they shouldn't be locked into that 12 PM slot.

Also this is another reason why I said the NBA need to try and take thanksgiving from the NFL since that's what the NFL is doing to them on christmas.

Would you rather watch Lakers/Warriors at 430 PM EST or this garbage?

As Shannon Sharpe likes to say, when they lower i go to hell.

If I'm the NBA, I'm putting the 2 teams/players I know will give me the most ratings on thanksgiving every year now at 330 or 4 PM

I don’t know what the ratings say….

But I prefer the better game being early. Not missing a thing turning the TV off for an hour at dinner time.

No hate at all here

All about the money. Nothing more, nothing less. Dude is pushing 60. You could tell Jake was taking it easy on him. He could barely stand up when he threw punches and his reaction time was so slow, as expected

That, and reportedly Tyson was getting paid by the round. It's a show, not a fight.

If Jake Paul really wanted to impress anyone, he would fight current professional boxers.

Don't see myself trying either one. Corn whopper doesn't sound good and I'm not really a fan of ranch...do like some fried pickles though.

Cooked a tri-tip in my sous vide then seared it in my cast iron pan for dinner tonight...

Really good...the sous vide really gets the seasoning into the meat and makes it ridiculously tender.

If you're cooking things like that, why even consider Burger King lol?

The way the Lions look I think the battle is for 2nd.

Meh, I'm not as impressed. Rams took them to OT in week 1. They still have 4 more division games and matchups with the Bills and Niners, we'll get a better picture then.

 

[shopson67]

We got to give Josh the mvp this year if the bills end up with 13+ wins

What he’s doing with the little talent they have on offense is incredible. They were projected to finish 3rd in their own division

To be fair, those projections were laughable. People keep trying to wish the Jets and Dolphins into being contenders.

 

[shopson67]

agree with your first part

Everything else is false

They have cooper, shakir (who came on last year and outplayed diggs the second half of the year) drafted coleman, kindcaid and two solid backs.

It’s a solid set of talent, just not the bengals

But zero chance they were picked third in terms afce

Zero

If you saw that bet I’m gonna be furious at your for not sharing the opportunity for free money lol

To be fair, Cooper hasn't made much of a difference yet. He's only really been involved in maybe two games?

 

[shopson67]

Isn’t Jake Paul from out there too?

He's from Cleveland.

 

[shopson67]

Is the NFL ever going to move past their Dallas/Detroit scheduling? It's almost a guarantee that one of the two is going to be terrible.

 

[shopson67]

Cowboys waive off a made 64 yard fg due to penalty then end up not scoring. Lmao.

My fantasy team curses them.

Week 1? You seen what their offense is doing on a weekly basis now? They are clearly the best team in the league.

They shouldn’t tradition matters

Likely the NBA wants no part of going up against the NFL and the NFL is not concerned.

 

[dtgold88]

I think they can. The thanksgiving matchups are usually ass

The NBA can put their top stars/teams against each other and will do numbers

Put steph vs lebron or against the celtics

not even sure that would outdraw one of those bad Detroit/Chicago type games from the past.....or maybe a LV-Carolina game now.

 

[dtgold88]

Fuck them.

CFB is a better watch right now if we are being honest

Love CFB and would prefer an OSU to Browns game for sure.....but overall it's just not a better watch.

It is though

 

[dtgold88]

It is though

You do understand that is just opinion. Mine is, too, of course, but the NFL does have far more talented players overall.

serious question....why do you think CFB is a better watch (and I ask as someone who loves CFB)?

This year the nfl games just not hitting as they used to. CFB Saturday been more entertaining than NFL Sunday in 2024 imo
