boston #2 in the east!

via pelton

really weird that they decided to kick off the season on the same night as game 1 of the world series imo

ws descision prob made later

you would think manfried and silver would have each other's numbers to coordinate it tho

NBA always dgaf til xmas anyway tho lol

omg kev

the NBA i mean! i def gaf

just in terms of the number of primetime and weekend games on TV. obv real heads that tream care about the whole season

ok phew

it funny cause the beginning of the season is actually much better than the early winter believe we have discussed this

ooh idk about that, early season always the lowest scoring while offenses figure stuff out iirc

it's good if you like to watch disasters

beginning of the season is fresh teams r excited to play theyre figuring stuff out etc weird shit happens players make the leap mid season is just a slog injuries boredom etc take their toll then around the allstar break it heats up again

energy level def higher first two weeks of nov than jan

also there are fewer dudes with season ending injuries by that point

yup

i mean the quality of play is not great but its more fun than the mid season doldrums imo

also fun to watch new dudes on their new teams. and rookies running around getting yelled at. new coaches expressions etc.

yeaaa

do the pelicans even have 5 guys that can play tonight? or is it just brow vs champs?

steph v brow 1on1

would watch

grantland wtf the world series and the nba start today and they have a soccer story in their main window gtfo

lol

pelis have no choice but to give significant minutes to nate robinson given jrue's minutes limit and cole still being out (i think), love it

brow-nate is an excellent odd couple

nate is old now :(

ya prob cooked

lil guys go downhill fast

In an interview Monday with ESPN's Hannah Storm, Sefolosha said he hasn't fully healed from the injuries, which also included severe ligament damage.
Sefolosha said he elected to file suit both for himself and to embolden others who might have gone through similar situations to stand up.
"There's a lot of unknown about how this will affect me two years from now, five years from now, 10 years from now," Sefolosha said. "Also because I think it's the right approach to put lights in a situation like this and to ... fight back in a legal way and in a way that can empower, hopefully, more people."
Sefolosha had previously filed a notice of claim to preserve his option to file a lawsuit. On Wednesday, sources confirmed to ESPN a New York Post report that the amount of the claim is $50 million, the maximum Sefolosha could see in any potential verdict.

fuck the police

sad this swiss guy comes here just wants to play basketball and has to deal w our brutal culture

otm xp

we saved him from socialism at least tho

I hear that you have to wait 6 mos to see a doc when Swiss police break your leg. Also hear that Swiss police don't break people's legs so I guess it's a wash yay USA.

we spent like 3/4 of the year clowning the cars last year

Lakers fans are also deluded though.

yeah there's more than one lakers fan out there who thinks a lakers championship at 300-1 is the easiest money of their lifetime.

Kobe's not going out without another ring, baby!!
