the nba don. talking all NBA all the time. basketball from my perspective.

teams I follow closely: MIL | LAL
Three consecutive interceptions.

Creates for an exciting game, but at the end of the day it’s a bad product.

A true modern day NBA tragedy is the lame names we’ve given to arenas.

crypto.com arena (might be the biggest tragedy of all)

Kaseya Center - formerly American Airlines Arena

Footprint Center - formerly US airways center

Vaguely have heard of any of these companies.

Gotta give it to Austin Reaves

Despite the bright lights of Hollywood and playing in the NBA, he still rocks his Great Clips looking haircut.

Small sample size, but I’m no longer sure I can adhere to the MarJon Beauchamp slander.

I don’t see any reason why TP is playing over him, besides having more exp.

Do not understand what Doc’s vision is with MarJon but I really think he can add value to this Bucks team.

Bucks vs Miami takeaways:

- for most of game, Bucks did not miss a beat without Giannis
- Dame time was spectacular. Looked like a top 5 player at times (8-13 3, 37 pts)
- MarJon got his first meaningful minutes today, drilled a 3, looked like he belonged, only to be subbed out and not play again

Bucks win in Miami W/O Giannis.

5 in a row for the Bucks, they’ve won 7 of their last 8.

They are showing flashes of a very good basketball team.

What a game in Miami

Poor discernment by NBA leadership.

Equivalent to less than $100 fine for someone who makes $55k a year based off Fred’s $42 M yearly salary.

Have to make an example out of guys like this and protect referees.
NBA fines Fred VanVleet:

Suspend Fred Vanvleet until All Star break.

No place in the game for that.

Can someone please explain to me why Celtics play ‘bad’ basketball or why they are boring to watch?

Yes they shoot 50 3s a game but they shoot 37% so that’s far from “chucking”.

Everyone can play defense, very rarely are they mismatched.

Top ten in OPPG, and #2 in PPG.

I’ve been very critical of him the past 3 years…

But Russell Westbrook in Denver is a great fit.

Hornets v Bucks takeaways:

- LaMelo Ball is a GD problem, 50 Piece (prev career high was only 38) Bucks literally had no answer for him all night
- When Bucks get clicking they can look really good (much of 3rd Qtr)
- Gary Trent Jr and AJ Green are looking great
- Khris Middleton back for Miami?
November 24, 2024 at 3:34 AM
Before we totally lose our minds about the Bucks, let’s remember this is a shell of itself Pacers with injuries and Indiana just not playing well. In the past two weeks, Pacers:

L to Hornets by 20
L to Raptors by 11
L to Rockets by 27

Great win for Bucks, but this is not the Pacers of last year.

What happens when you have bad luck, mixed with a $200 million player who sits out more than half his career.
dawg what even is this 😭

Thanasis currently coaching from the court side
November 21, 2024 at 2:28 AM
Starting to get tired of Taurean Prince.

Streaky.

Seems selfish.

Not very inspired to play defense.
November 21, 2024 at 2:12 AM
Despite how putrid the Bucks start was, theoretically if they win this game and 1 more, they could be in 6th place already.
November 21, 2024 at 1:55 AM
Bucks doing what they should do against virtually the worst D in the league. However, I do think they have finally found their way back. Role players and bench are starting to step up. It’s not a hopeless situation anymore when Giannis is not on the floor
November 21, 2024 at 1:34 AM
What happened to Marjon Beauchamp? Why hasn’t he played a meaningful minute this season?
November 21, 2024 at 1:30 AM
Completely disagree. IMO they’re the first exciting team in quite some years. Jokic and the Nuggets were beyond boring to watch. They give me transcendent team vibes like the SA Spurs with Duncan or the Heatles in their own way.
okay i know it’s the natural evolution of the game but just watching boston hit a bunch of threes is boring as hell, i don’t enjoy watching mazzulla ball

Stephon Castle better lock in tonight. Those men from OKC will the strip the hell out of you.
November 20, 2024 at 2:41 AM
Despite borderline incompetent officiating tonight, it had a great impact on the flow of the game and appreciated how every tic-tac foul was not called.

Celtics v Cavs recap:

- Is Tony Brothers ok?
- Tatum top of MVP race
- Cavs fought back from 20 pt deficit and hung around despite Boston lighting it up (53.7% 3)
-Stan Van Gundy x Brian Anderson may be best analysts in the game right now
-Scary to think how Celtics look when Kristaps is back
November 20, 2024 at 2:31 AM
I do like the NBA Cup courts. Just gives the game a different vibe than an ordinary regular season game.
