I Won't Be Watching The NBA If This Keeps Up....

I havent watched the NBA much for decades. If the local team is in a play-off run maybe, but otherwise no.

TWK, I would suspect political news to beat everything now. America likes drama and you can't beat this kind of soon to be drama between Trump and Biden. This is about to get completely out of control in epic proportions.

I don't know whether anybody has had the displeasure of having a monkey throw shit at you at the zoo and nail the throw. It happened to me in 3rd grade. That monkey was tame compared to the shit these guys are going to throw at each other.

Trump, doesn't play nice. I'll admit that I respect that about the guy. You fuck with him, he'll fuck with you harder. I have no problem with that character trait. Originally Posted by Lucas McCain

Good for the monkey!

I hope everyone is enjoying the start of the playoffs. I know I am. It was a great game between the Jazz and the Nuggets this afternoon.

Go ahead. It's a free country. Still, in parts.


My brother from Vegas told me that you have to bet $1500 to win $100 on the Milwalkee Bucks.

Not watching it unless the Rockets make it to the finals.

gregg popovich

who was a one man wrecking crew, ruining sports for people, spouting his leftist nonsense even before kneeling became in vogue

recently (june) wondered why people are upset about the disrespect to the flag:

‘The flag is irrelevant. It’s just a symbol…”

now he is overjoyed the austin city council has defunded their police department

the coach then went on a rant about how “racist” trump is because of what popovich thinks is “voter suppression.”

and all this time I was giving him the benefit of the doubt, thinking he was only sucking up and playing the fool to keep on his players' good side as a coaching ploy

He was too short to make it on the US Olympic team and he is too old to understand today's youngsters, so he figures pretending to be "woke" will help him with his players.

With his enormous wealth, he has all the privilege in the world and no consequences when rioters tear shit up.

let's see what Poopovitch would do if the BLM mob shows up at his mansion? call the police?

BAHHAAA

I wonder how those Spurs teams would do now. The NBA is small ball now. My beloved Lakers would be fucked back then. They would just put Shaq in pick and roll every other play. He'd foul out within 15 minutes of every game. It would be exchanging 3 for 2 nonstop. Do the math. They would have had to put Robert Horry at center just to stop the bleeding. That would have been ugly to watch.

At least Pau Gasol could move on defense. Shaq would have been fucked with how they play now.

He is my favorite NBA player.

Also, I don't think a monkey would have thrown shit on him like it did to you.

Sacramento was smart enough to put Shaq in pick and roll all of the time. Mike Bibby's eyes would light up when Shaq switched on him because he knew he was going to get either fouled or he would go right by him. I don't really know why every team did not do that with him.

The Pistons and the great Larry Brown also did it with him which is why they kicked the Lakers' ass and won the title. I watched that series thinking there is no way in hell Chauncey Billups is this good. Billups owes Shaq part of his check. That series was painful to watch.

Now my beloved Lakers have a fully healthy Portland team in the 1st round. They have absolutely nobody to guard Damian Lillard. The only guy who had a chance was Avery Bradley and he said fuck the bubble and possibly catching the virus. He stayed at home with his family and opted out for the season. Fuck him

few big men are quick enough to switch off on a small forward or guard. only Bill Russell comes to mind. and Shaq himself was an excellent passer in the pick and roll. so it works both ways. why do you think Phil ran the offense through Shag, much to Kobe's annoyance. but it got them 3 rings.

remember the "Hack-a-Shaq" defense? that was funny. the guy couldn't hit a free throw for shit. as long as you had the depth to sacrifice a few of your big men to foul him the moment he got the ball, it's like attacking a King with a pawn in Chess.

here is a Lakers great of days gone by doing what was supposed to be impossible .. block Kareem's sky-hook.


i don't recall seeing another player block one of KareemPuff's sky-hooks. and if you can find a clip of someone blocking KareemPuff's sky-hook .. i dare you to find another player that blocked KareemPuff's sky-hook .. TWICE IN THE SAME PLAY.

you may have heard of this guy .. Wilt Chamberlain.

Gone are the days of getting close to the basket. Now it's just dribble dribble dribble (don't shut up), then chuck up some ugly shit for a jump shot. Or try to put something up just hoping for the foul. Remember good basketball? When it was about ball and man movement? Spurs run comes to an end this season. A generation finally sees them miss the post season.

When I was a kid, I was taught to hate the Celtics. My dad as an LA guy despised them.

I remember when I was young when Jack Sikma played for the Bucks. I was watching a playoff game with my dad and he said Sikma's shot is pretty much impossible to block because of the arc. I can't remember whether it was McHale or Parish who blocked his shot that game. My dad got pissed and turned the TV off. I just turned it right back on after he left the room. I knew he wasn't going to come back and watch the rest of the game.
