2017-18 NBA REGULAR SEASON THREAD PART 1 ALL OF AMERICAS FAVORITE TEAMS ARE BACK

the NFL product is really terrible now too and no one seems to care about the newest crop of star players that much. And there are so many iconic franchises that have been awful or boring for years. I grew up a bears fan and I don't remember the last time they were fun in a good way and not in a popcorn.gif way.

something tells me that there's less conservative/racist/USA!USA! dipshits among NBA fans than NFL...

Compare that with how well the NBA markets their players and the interpersonal drama, it's a magnificent glorious beautiful game with pro wrestling narrative in the best sense of the term. And with all that it's forward thinking good vibes all around. I want some of the coaches to be president whereas I think the NFL coaches should maybe be in prison.

even when the Bears were good this century it wasn't in a fun way!

how is ncaa football doing in the ratings

staying flat as of last year apparently: https://www.si.com/mmqb/2016/11/15/college-football-ratings-2016-season-nfl-ratings-espn-fox-nfl-draft

xxp what's not fun about scoring all of your points with defense and kick or punt returns while kyle orton tries not to fuck it up?

tell me lebron got ejected for arguing a traveling call

again jokic tries to give the early frustration foul

sick passing so far tho

i hate plumlee so much

like 6 of the NFL's 10 most marketable players are either injured or suspended, I'm sure that's not helping

LeBron just got ejected for the first time in his NBA career. pic.twitter.com/M4vvDbeSNp

how has he never been ejected? even curry's had a couple

the blazers are... leading their division, fourth in the western conference? whodathunkit?

pretty amazed the announcer knew that off hand. how do you play 15 years and never get the boot once. dork.

simmons go to move seems good

The unstoppable shot. If Ben Simmons gets this down with his left hand, there won’t be many point guards that can guard him at all...probably not any of them pic.twitter.com/WMNsndilSK

russ 11-23, pg 7-17, melo 5-16, who coulda predicted this might not come together seamlessly

i wonder if Pop is sitting Kawhi so he could have a month or two to establish LMA and build his confidence.

local radio guy speculated as much based on the information that parker has been physically ready for two weeks

LMA dropped 41 tonight

my boyfriend kyle had 10 pts and 4 stls

Lakers giving the dubs a fight

Bingram ballin

Steph came alive in OT

think he airballed like 5 times tonight w that wrapped finger

Yeah seemed weird to play him at all, but he came through when it mattered. KD with the super-clutch 3 to send it to OT.

fun game. ingram looked unstoppable, pretty sweet how he picked KDs pocket at the end of reg too

Boogie rubbing off on Brow I see

ben simmons body want to shoot with his off hand so badly ive never seen anything like this

Slomo of Ben Simmon’s free throw shooting form: A miss sandwiched between two makes. It’s remarkable he gets the shot on line considering how much leftward motion he has in his release. pic.twitter.com/iuAUxLHwkl

that looks like how I feel when trying to shoot with my left (ie off) hand

omg that is painful to watch

it's like he's throwing a slider

can jokic not be hurt

And yet he made like a gazillion free throws the other night against the wiz in the 4th even though his brain is fighting itself over his form, it's so bizarre

I take it back he only made like half of them which is why Scotty glasses went hack a Simmons for like two hours of real time and now I hate him again

Yes I was watching that game and it looked exciting when I turned it on and rapidly turned to mush
