Zimbra Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Boris Diaw signed with a French team so I'm done with the NBA. Edit: OK, I'm gonna listen to this Lowe Post with Jackie McMullan, but THEN I'm done with the NBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 Breakdown: Top 4 picks up for grabs. You can slide from 1st to 5th, 2nd to 6th, etc. Worst 3 teams have an equal 14% chance at a lottery pick. Then ~2% less for #4, ~2% less for #5, and so on... 8-14 have a less than 2% chance of winning. Commissioner can fine teams for sitting healthy starters. The proposal to prevent teams from having a top 4 pick in consecutive years was rejected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimbra Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 The NikeXNBA thing was tonight where they revealed the new jerseys. Here's everyone: Most of them are at least decent. The Sixers, Bucks, and Warriors are probably my top 3. Those Wolves uniforms are hot garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I didn't expect the Lakers or Celtics to change much, since their look is so iconic. Dallas went with a little darker color, but I didn't expect them to change either, since I lowkey expect a full rebrand after Dirk retires. OKC's new jersey is fire tho.

Niners Fan in CT Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I like a lot of them more than I thought I would. As for the tanking stuff, aren't teams just going to make up injuries or send a guy out for a few minutes (who they'd like to rest) and say "he felt tight" and then sit him?

jaedmc Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Kevin Durant accidentally revealing that he uses puppet accounts on social media to defend himself is my favorite off season story. He was right tho. Couldn't win a championship with those cats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaedmc Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I spoke too soon. KD's Twitter Antics just got replaced by the unveiling of these Jimmer Fredette signature kicks. I'd fuck with these. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I inundated myself with the whole sneaker/streetwear culture when I started reselling shoes. Some of it I still roll my eyes at. I actually like Yeezys, but you have to wear a specific style to make them work. Throw them on under a pair random jeans and they'll look like shit. I never kept a pair I copped, because I don't think I can pull them off. What gets me isn't that people think a shoe is cool, because everyone's taste is different and some people can make shit work that on paper looks terrible ...no, what gets me is how much these fucking doods will pay for those shoes. Astounding numbers. I think it's ridiculous that people would pay retail for some of these shoes(around 200 bucks) but the idea that they're throw down double to triple that is fucking banana pants. I fucking love me some basketball sneakers though. They just add to the game in a completely inconsequential purely aesthetic way. CAn't wait for the season to start just to see the colorway's people come up with. Jordan 32's are rolling out. They're pretty killer. Kyrie Irving's Best move this offseason was the Bruce Lee's. And Lebron's new sneaker is pretty slick too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 All Durant really did with this fake account stuff is validate the trolls who say he took the easy way out. His recent interview discussing the week following his decision didn't make it look great either. Bullshit he couldn't win. They were one win away from the finals. Then he joins a 73-win team. A lot of people said it was a bad move and then he validates that. He should be giving no fucks and celebrating. All this "I haven't slept in two days" stuff. Really? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawful Metal Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Jesus H. Christ. Fuck the Knicks. Fuck the Thunder. It'll be hilarious when all three leave OKC next year. And I don't know how good this superteam will be if Westbrook never passes to George or Melo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Comedian Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 ROFLZ @ OKC trading Kanter within days of his "Thunder are a FAMILY" KD rebuttal... No lie, I think the last pair of basketball sneakers i had were the Converse Grammamas...after that I did strictly shelltoes for years until I became middle-aged and fell into "whatever the cheapest shit is at DSW that's not made of that stupid runner's mesh"... Also if you rocked thee with some Karl Kanis and a sock hat at any point in like 1992 or so your Hip-Hop culture credentials are impeccable... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaedmc Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Russ plays out of his mind. Get's Paul George and Melo the next season. James Harden has an incredible season. Get's Chris Paul.
