NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

[wildturkey]

Don't know how many of you follow the fight game and know of Dana and Oscar's dislike of each other but Dana just dropped a bomb. (Backstory, Oscar De La Hoya announced this week he's returning to boxing despite being old as shit)

School started today (virtually in our district). Anyone who took the over 46.5 minutes on first complaint by someone in the forum for our district you are a loser. Only took 46 minutes (most were positive). Vegas as usual nailed it.

Did I mention I cannot stand the Indians' ownership? Are they stable? sure. Competitive in a small/medium market? Guess so. But wow do they lack a will to win. Trade they made today was one a team that is not in contention should make.

They are so wasting a top FO and starting rotation.

You see this?

Gilbert’s 95% equity stake in Quicken Loans parent Rocket Companies is worth $36.4 billion. Gilbert also sold $1.76 billion of Rocket Companies shares in the IPO. With his other assets — he owns the Cleveland Cavaliers NBA team and a significant chunk of real estate in Detroit — he’s worth $41.1 billion.

That makes Gilbert, age 58, the 17th richest person in America, and the second richest NBA team owner. Forbes had previously valued Gilbert’s stake in Rocket Companies at $4.1 billion.

And the Cavs who were one of the worst teams in the league, followed through by finishing 8th in the NBA draft lotto. Congrats!

Could he please give the Dolans a call and see what it would take to put an owner with a will to win in charge of that team?

Yeah..that's all on Gilbert.

Yep...and not like Gilbert can control that.

Got 1 more than I thought I'd see.

I'll give you that 1 beats the hell outta none...

6 Cardinals tested positive in the last 2 days.

How soon is baseball canceled

30+ days and counting still.

 

[dtgold88]

If they all did this, all season long, NFL would have a chance.

You still think they don't "have a chance"? and, no, they wont all do what is expected and there could be hiccups.

i'm now leaning to finishing the season. too much money not to.

 

[dtgold88]

They do?

yes

 

[dtgold88]

Another Cards test positive. They were supposed to play today but that's been PPD

oh no. a couple As tested positive and a series was postponed (think Mets too).

still think (hope?) season does not finish?

 

[dtgold88]

From what I've read and heard, I'll be surprised if the season gets canceled.

They're saying that MLB is basically hellbent on getting to the playoffs and will even accept that not all teams will get all 60 games played.

looking good still and almost 6 weeks in.

Damn that's mean. But one thing all Cavs fans will always have in completing the greatest comeback (against a 73 win team) in Finals history. Funny that doesn't get mentioned as often as it should. Because if a LeBron-led team ever choked up a 3-1 Finals lead the ridicule would be nonstop.
