are we going to see a correlation of NBA standings and severity of rioting? My bet is on yes

NBA commissioner Adam Silver has informed the Board of Governors that July 31 is a target date for the return of the #NBA season. 🔜🏀

Hopefully that's the case, should be interesting to see the format play out if it comes to fruition.

The players owe it to themselves to make this happen. This is my first season following basketball closely but I can hear by the way the casters react that we are at a high point.

These guys will be rusty (rightfully so), so imo it’s hard to pick a favorite... with that new seeding especially, anything can happen.. I’m just happy it’s back. Be a nice change of pace.

Yeah, definitely something to look forward to. Will be interesting for sure.

Kyrie the agitator haha man wtf dude ain’t even playing

Kyrie Irving on players call Friday, per sources: “I’m willing to give up everything I have (for social reform)."

the economics on not playing are devastating:

$1.2B in lost player salary (35% of total pay)
NBA now having leverage to tear up the CBA and negotiate a new one.
$2B lost in revenue to the league

Vince Carter has officially announced his retirement. What a career. 22 seasons.

Sigh Don’t remind me... there was definitely some bad basketball (mainly the sub .500 teams making the playoffs), but still lots of great memories..

2000 dunk contest > any other...

I am in still in awe of that dunk contest and mostly cause it happened in Oakland. I wish I was able to go.

I find every day that goes by I'm less eager for this shit to start back up. It's gonna be weird as fuck with no fans after such a long break.

Same... even if it ends up being replacement players. Something to get our Minds off all the negative shit

Bubble play has been good. Devin Booker proved himself as an elite player and the Suns are gonna be a problem soon enough. I'm really bummed the clippers don't have the first seed I would have loved to see Dame and PG/Pat Bev get chippy after that reignited beef still stoked to see the Blazers Lakers series especially the way Dame has been going of these last few games hoping to see some high scoring games. Good luck to your respective teams fellas.

Lenny the Fatface · « **Reply #3385 on:** August 16, 2020, 04:13:05 PM »

I actually find it a bit annoying that Devin Booker only gets hot at the end of seasons. Like wheres the killing spree in December or January? I think his 70 point game a couple years ago was mad late in the season as well.

Some fun games for sure. Going to be interesting seeing what the Blazers do. Was really looking forward to more of that Dame vs PG and Beverly beef on the court but what are the odds of that happening. Historically, the Clippers have never made it past the second round, will this be the year? Maybe, as much as I'm rooting for Dame and redemption Melo, I doubt they'll get past the Lakers to meet with Clippers. Same as you, good luck to the rest of the teams.
