2023-2024 NBA season

When does anything feel good for the Knicks?

[DYSI]

That's a package you send for a superstar not a solid 3&D guy.

It's like that's the offer they were calling Cleveland with in a Mitchell trade and they accidentally dialed Toronto's number.

[Pooker]

I must be the only one that thinks New York won the trade. Quickley is expendable with Brunson. OG is an all NBA first team defender and solid on offense. I don't get why Toronto didn't hold out for a better draft pick.

[Pooker]

Detroit won a game! This is not a drill! The Pistons won a game!

All it took was Toronto making a trade the day of the game.

I was so close to throwing money on Detroit when that trade happened. Ah well

[VerbalPuke]

yay

Ricky Rubio has announced his retirement from the NBA after 12 seasons.

Really hope he is feeling better and gets whatever help he needs. He's been one of my favorites for a long time.

Draymond's suspension is over at 12 games.

I'm sure he is fully rehabilitated and will never do anything worthy of punishment again.

 

 

[Pooker]

I give him three games before he's ejected. Two games for a tech.

Ja Morant is out for the season with torn labrum.

They're planning to make the draft a 2 day event, 1st round picks on a Wednesday, 2nd round picks on a Thursday.

They are greatly over-estimating how much people care about the 2nd round. Most fans don't even care after pick 15 in the first round unless it's their team.

Die-hards will watch though (me) and I'm sure they have enough data on it to know that it's still going to get better ratings than whatever they'd have on a random Thursday night in June.

From what I've read, it's the team's complaining that they feel rushed during the second round. Which I don't get. They've had years to prepare for it.

I feel bad for the kids that have to wait a whole extra day to get drafted, especially the ones that are boarderline.

Chicago Bulls fans booing Jerry Krause so loudly his widow broke down in tears is an astonishing new low for sports fans.

[Pooker]

Was it really that surprising that it would happen? Isn't he pretty universally hated in Chicago?

Yes he is but he's also dead and they knew his widow was going to be there.

[Pooker]

I am glad to hear that it sounds like the fans got yelled at by the announce team and whoever did the half time show. The fans definitely shouldn't have booed, but think the Bulls should have been a bit smarter about it.

[Krabby]

What a bunch of ungrateful babies - boohoo he only helped win 6 championships wahhhhhh. Absolutely disgraceful and disgusting by those fans.
