mods please change our board description, i no longer wish to fuck baseball

i like how basically the whole nets roster is 6'6 - 6'8

i dont like all these road teams wearing their light jerseys and the home teams wearing their darker ones this is an abomination

i like it but i realize im an outlier on this one.

i see dantoni is rolling with his playoff rotations already

Pretty sure Paul Pierce said “kooz-mahn”

apparently the new rule is the home team gets to choose which jersey it wears, then the road team can also choose but only if the jersey has enough contrast to the one the home team wears, celtics/sixers was color on color the other night, agree its kinda lame

tho i kinda always thought the color uniforms made more sense as a the home signifier like this is who we are these are our colors, thats what they do in football, but either way i think its fun to have a system

cavs losing to the nets is especially funny considering the cavs own the nets draft pick

I mean just in the above clip I’m assuming it’s in Houston and now have to scan my eyes over the court colors to figure out where the game is and if the fans are about to get joy or daggers in their hearts

this is basically the rule in football and hockey iirc, i dislike it

home whites are beautiful; fuiud

i like home whites best

kind of uncool of the lakers to have a MPLS jersey when there is an actual team in Minneapolis hello

agree it's goofy, like it's one thing if the rochester royals were their legacy team

imo teams shdnt be allowed to take names or chips when they move

lakers claiming all those titles they won in minny is absurd

seems reasonable

imagining the thunder rolling out a Seattle jersey right now and I am furious

lakers being named the lakers is absurd

lakers shd have their name seized from them and awarded to the timberwolves and they shd be renamed the entertainers

clippers is also inappropriate, they should be entertainers jr.

i may have a soft spot for absurd team legacy names b/c utah jazz is the best

lakers should be required to play all their games with their choice of one comically large basketball or three tiny ones

jazz is bad they shd be renamed the mormons

utah jazz was good but is less good now that there's a NO team again

clippers are originally from san diego where the name made sense via the navy connection, they r renamed the entertainers jr

worst switch ever was 'Bullets' to the 'Wizards'

yeah that was a lateral move at best

wizards is the most generic name u cld come up with its like the name of a team from a movie

memphis grizzlies is bad too though i have no idea what memphis is known for

I think we all know there are no wizards in Washington, only clowns so that is what they are now, the Capitol Hill Clowns xps

they shd move back to baltimore switch back to the wizards and hire gil arenas to be assistant coach

i also secretly hate all collective noun team names e.g. heat, magic

nuggets is prob my favorite name?

memphis grizzlies is bad too though i have no idea what memphis is known for

Memphis Sizzurp

Memphis Brawlers? Memphis Horns? Memphis Blues? Memphis Collards?

all the olde timey names are hilarious the knickerbockers wtf

memphis bbq seems obv to me

The LA teams should be the Movers and Shakers

nuggets, pistons, timberwolves, hornets, cavaliers are all top tier names

celtics is the best cause its the only ethnically derived name

celtics is bad if you ignore the part of your brain thats used to it

jazz is bad they shd be renamed the mormons

Knickerbockers is a dope as fuck name

def top 3

hive would be good if only to deflect non-mormon noobs

chicago lakers

Great win for the suns!
