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

im uncomfortable with how few trade rumors im hearing about the cavs right now, i feel like they need to do .... something

Maybe Gilbert took that pick off the table

yeah i mean if they refused to trade their own pick over the summer to get paul george they prob are committed to the post bron future, as hard as it is to imagine

in which case they shd just really trade bron

i mean if they have any hope of retaining him they must know theyre closing the door by not doing any cool trades over the last ~6 months

bron has a no trade clause iirc

yea I think that's right

if hes halfway out the door why not waive it u know

wld be a better story for him too being traded rather than the decision part 2

lol he shd do the decision part 2 tho that wld be funny as hell

i have decided to take my talents to europe, i am signing with baskonia

Jaylen Brown smashed all over the zinger

if hes halfway out the door why not waive it u know

logically seems to make sense for all parties involved but idk, feel like there’s a stigma to *being traded* and also optically I feel like (in effect) demanding a trade looks like quitting

bron himself set up the story line of his triumphantly coming home so he could give Cleveland championships. He loudly claimed Cleveland as his chosen home and one true love. now he's kind of stuck with either staying true to his self-generated hype and sticking with the Cavs, or explaining why he never meant what he said and wiping the egg off his face.

nasty lil inside out

reasonable

bron should be allowed to throw the ball as hard as he can in that guy's face

otm call an emergency rules committee meeting

lol these mavs unis

oh no canaans leg just bent thw wrong way

damn that's the fastest i can remember a dude getting off the court after an injury like that.

he showed no emotion

my best friend is 4th row right in front of that

maybe i'm weird but what's w/the taboo of replaying injuries where a guy's extremity bends the wrong way. it's not, like, gory. are ppl really grossed out by it b/c if so that's a trait i completely lack.

u inhuman monster

in this house we obey the laws of biomechanics

yeah i def appreciate them not showing it i csnt stomach those

hmm ok, i am a freak then.

yeah i cannot look at limbs doing weird stuff at all but blood doesnt bother me in the slightest

also cj just set a franchise record with 28 first quarter points

hey thats cool

the reactions tell me everything i need to know usually

obv because of what I do I don’t really have a problem seeing blood or injuries, but there’s something about watching the injury actually occur that feels inappropriate to me, I sort of feel like experiencing a gruesome injury is an intensely personal experience and feel icky sharing in that with someone

when an injury is life-altering it is a highly intimate experience. one replay might be considered informational, but a second, a third, or more constitutes voyeurism.

right, those sorts of situations are probably one of the scariest and most painful moments of a person’s life and I feel bad for them that it is caught on video for millions to see.

I sort of feel the same way when video of someone getting shot or something is made available, I just feel like it is not my place to watch. just a personal thing tho

uh cj has 50 entering the fourth heads up folks

This may be the worst nationally televised game I’ve ever seen. The arena looks to be about 25% full.

i dont like seeing gnarly injuries but also i kind of like seeing them

lol
