[NBA] The NBA Thread

[DarkAudit]

So I wake up to a twitter feed full of laughing at the Knicks. So what else is new?

Oh... OH.

 

[DarkAudit]

Tree's take on the insanity...

 

[Tress]

Should we maybe update the thread title?

Should we maybe update the thread title?

Changed.

Former Commissioner David Stern has died.

I know I make no secret of the fact that I don’t follow much in the way of sports, but this is an exception.



This guy was a childhood basketball hero for me and many others. His face and voice were as immediately recognizable for us as Shaq’s were for 90’s kids.

I did not realize until moments ago that The Palace at Auburn Hills is slated for demolition today.

Did they finally manage to tear down that eyesore just south of it yet?

 

[Gared]

Free Woj, Fuck Disney.

 

[jwhouk]

Okay, I'm going to come out right now and say it.

It is entirely, entirely possible that all three of my favorite teams in the three major sports from my home town may end up playing for their respective league titles.

But the NBA crown is the one I probably would want to see happen, because if there is any team in this stupid league that deserves a title, it's the Bucks.

Fear The Damn Deer.

This post didn't age well.

And what the hell, go Bucks in 6.

 

[blotsfan]

Go Bucks Go!

I would’ve thought you’d be more conflicted.

 

[jwhouk]

Nope. Grew up on the Bucks. Haven't been to a game since they played at the MECCA, but I've always been a Bucks fan.

I may have a bit of a loyalty issue coming up next week… the team from where I live now vs. the team from where I grew up.

In fairness to blotsfan, I can see why he'd think that.

 

[jwhouk]

Yeah. However, as I have pointed out, I was a Bucks fan before I ever even dreamed of setting foot in the state of Arizona.

 

[drifter]

I have 100 internet points riding on the Bucks. Take me home Giannis! (assuming he comes back to play)

 

[jwhouk]

Hopefully its not in a Willis Reed-like situation.

 

[drifter]

I feel like players nowadays are way smarter about their long-term health. Giannis seems like he's got a good head on his shoulders.

I said it first.

 

[jwhouk]

All we gotta do is win two more games.

 

[blotsfan]

The one game this finals I couldn’t stay up for and it’s the really good one

 

[jwhouk]

BUCKS IN SIX!!!

 

[DarkAudit]

BUCKS IN SIX!!!

We're in good company.

The “Valley-Oop” is what it shall forever more be called.

 

[DarkAudit]

And what the hell, go Bucks in 6.

Called it first.

 

[jwhouk]

Fan first.

Fear the Deer, y’all!

 

[jwhouk]

Giannis, how do you spell your last name?”

”C-H-A-M-P-I-O-N-S.”

 

[blotsfan]

Incredible game/series by Giannis. His knee bent backwards less than a month ago.

Mina Kimes with the take of all takes

 

[BErt]

Lol

OMG
