Not sure why we kept the old thread going, but probably has to do with the sports lack of popularity.
So, Congrats to [strike]Pacers[/strike] SoonerSonics!
Meanwhile, DAL sees what a lemon they got last year, but found a dumber buyer. Four players and 5 draft picks for Davis and 3 others? Could be a good team in four years.
Article says “10-Time All Star” but how many could he actually participate in, since he’s always so injured?
James Harden finds a new home in Cleveland. 5th time’s the charm?
What are we congratulating the Pacers for???
Reaching game 7 of the NBA finals last year of course.
Oh, yeah, the SoonerSonics won.
I’ll fix that.
Knicks favored by 5.5 over Denver
End of OT - Knicks up by 2, Denver misses shot, bonehead loose ball foul, with .3 left
Denver ties on two free throws
End of 2nd OT & Game Knicks win by 7
Some roller coaster for the Nuggets fan that bet on them
There are Nuggets fans???
Lot of kids enjoy chicken nuggets.
Oddly enough my NY based child is a huge Jokic fan. NYK fan too but hasn’t gotten over them dumping Divincenzo a couple weeks after he saved up and bought his jersey.
Apparently, tanking is a really really REALLY big problem in the NBA.
Mark Cuban, not a majority owner anymore, thinks differently:
There are two rounds of draft. Take away their first draft pick if someone healthy-scratches X number of games. Now, the counter-trick would then be to convince the star player to tank his per-game stats by playing only five minutes of a game. “Hey, didn’t scratch him!”
Or, the obvious:
Cut the season to 18 games. Problem solved.
Watching a game now. Interesting that the refs have their whistle in their mouth, and they rotate through the game.
That is all that interests me when watching this.
Shai matches Wilt’s scoring streak record.
Bam!
So no Supersonics? Just regular old Sonics?
Not sure. I would think SuperSonics but both names were referenced in the article.
Bump, for the Finals.
Everyone wake up, the real season has finally begun.
Bumped, because another idiot will be in attendance at Game 3, not just Dolan:

Sports, in particular, is something where we can emphasize what we have in common, not what pulls us apart," Silver said. “It creates a sense of belonging.”
I think most of the crowd will be as one if his fugly mug is shown on the big screen. Same as the CWC final. Same as whenever he goes to any sporting event save for the UFC.
Proving once agin everything Trump touches dies, Knicks 13 game playoff win streak snapped by Trump attendance.
Another selfish action by Trump. Thousands of fans facing 2+ hour security waits just so he can attend.
