Yeah, it'll be fine, no one literally thinks that the players will go broke. Not sure when the NBA will ever see ratings anywhere close to what they have in the past 10 years though. I wasn't targeting Lebron,, just organizations that use political correctness as a part of their marketing strategy. It's fucked up

Capitalism is crazy at odds with real equality.

Notions of equality. Sure.



BLM will go away from NBA after Trump is reelected with a sizable majority.

You misspelled MJ/Thomas/Phil since they were all President and GM at one time.

This last game was great then AD put the death rattle in but PDX played great, and Melo looks like he wants to come back if he plays like that PDX if healthy will have a good squad next season.

AD and lebron were punishing.

We weren't making our easy buckets at the end, but even then it would have been tough to pull it out. Our defense even stepped up. :rockon:

Would have been cool if we made our shots and AD was just good instead of on fire. :bored:


The refs SUUUUCK.. :no: :confused:







In other news.....really cool what the players and NBA did to work out this latest impass..... Hope it continues.
:cool:
In their joint statement, NBA commissioner Adam Silver and players’ union executive director Michele Roberts announced that league arenas controlled by team owners will be converted into polling locations for this fall’s general election, and that the league will also work with players and broadcast partners to “create and include advertising spots in each NBA playoff game dedicated to promoting greater civic engagement in national and local elections and raising awareness around voter access and opportunity.”

I'm looking forward to it but won't be able to watch today...radio only. I hope the game on Tuesday isn't on so early in the day.

Good luck!

Stream it! These teams match up fairly well, but it's our first post season meet. These playoffs are just an entirely new and weird deal. I'd say, wait did you say 'good luck'? Okay, good luck :waits:

Well, that sucked. Grats, SR! :tiphat:

Hopefully, Game 2 is better for us.

Yeah, we looked really good...so good in fact I didn't notice Tatum was all but absent in the 1st Q. And Hayward who

PS will come out gunning in game 2. All blowouts in the playoffs have a way of self correction. Chin up

Brandon Ingram wins MIP 24/6/4 pg not too bad for the now 22 yr old I do not want to search but I said when he was drafted in a couple years he would get it.

Congrats again, SR! Tonight's game was better for us. First half was good then started to fizzle out from the 3rd. Down 0-2...can we come back like last year??? :scared:

Yeah its amazing that the two budding stars for those squads decided to check one another in Mitchell and Murray in game 7 and make the other players win it.
