Just turned on the TV and ESPN was showing its ass for NBA coverage. They showed highlights of the Dynamic Duo, A.D. & LeBron.
I know it was just a preseason game but, all of the highlights were A.D. & LeBron, all the way to the final buzzer.
Oh, by the way, the Lakers lost.

They’re a shit show. Wolves didn’t play KAT and Rudy. I went to bed before halftime but from what I saw Westbrook is a loser which we already knew. I’d be surprised if he’s not bought out by thanksgiving. Probably by Halloween. Lakers are better off cutting ties and letting some scrub take orders from lebron or Pat Bev than letting Westbrook be a detriment.

Check that…before Halloween

I like watching the Lakers suck more than i enjoy LeBron. Fuck Westbrook and fuck every dumbass MVP voter that enabled his clown behavior. I hope he and Pat Bev murder each other.

And so it appears that ESPN's Instagram sucks ass too. He didn't "appear" not to take part. He fucking didn't take part.

It appeared Russ did not partake in the entirety of the Lakers’ pregame huddle last night.

What’s the payout? 

[Fastbreak 3975]

Ingram looks like he added weight and is much more aggressive. I don’t think I would trade him straight up for AD now.

[ztejas 43411]

This Nets team is going to be really good if they stay healthy. I know that's a big if. 

[Message Board User 12394]

Care to comment Dray?

 

[Dutchrudder 11133]

35m a year for Poole seems like a big overpay to me, but if you're not not light years ahead, you're light years behind.

Ben Simmons had 5 fouls at the 8 min mark of the second quarter lol

Fouled out a few minutes into the second half.

Durant and Kyrie were on fire last night. I think they each had 17 at half time

They just extended Wiggins. Their payroll+ luxury tax is 483 million next year

Man, that's nuts. I don't understand the rush. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but he would have been a restricted free agent after this season, right? If he has a great season, they could match anything offered by another team to his max of...$150M. So they potentially saved $10M over 4 years by doing it now. Cool?

[SilasCoade 2622]

interesting to me that they gave wiggins less.

[Fastbreak 3975]

When I first read it, I saw 4 years 104. I thought that was about right. I wish my paycheck had this dyslexia.

Why is this surprising to anyone? Poole got assaulted by Green a week ago. The Warriors paid him off so he wouldn't escalate it.

Is this uh, sustainable for the Warriors? $483 million is a third of Lacob’s net worth and well over half of Guber’s estate.

Their revenue is reported to be $258 million. I’m sure they’ll generate more this season. That shit about all the other team not wanting to go into the luxury tax so they can suckle at the Warriors money teat is fucking hilarious.

I imagine Chuck's agent will be providing the LIV Tour with an extravagant gift basket.

Didn't the NBA season used to start closer to Halloween?

[Dutchrudder 11133]

Hard to believe it's opening night already.

Any other No Dunks (formerly The Starters, Basketball Jones) fans out there? I've only been listening for a few years but it's my favorite general NBA podcast. One of the guys recently left the show, which is kind of a bummer, but overall the show is great and they put out an episode per day, available ad-free on The Athletic.

 Anyway, happy opening night to all who celebrate. Looks like another fun as hell NBA season.

Was quite the tradition, hand out candy, eat pizza and watch NBA Opening night. 

[MNLonghornFUKM 8817]

Guess there’s less back to backs or 3 days in 4 nights this way.

The season is probably 20 games too long as is

[Wulaw Horn 19063]

Harden looks as good as he has since COVID and is having a big game. Embiid is fine. The other guys look ok for Philly… and Boston is going into the 4th Quarter up double digits. I wasn’t sure they should have the shortest odds for the title but 36 minutes into the season I get it.

adam silver looks like an insect. funny as fuck that he runs that league.

Welcome back NBA!

 

 

[Scraps 13560]

I don't pay much attention to nba until Mlb is over, but who in the flying fuck thought it was a good idea to put Pat Bev and Westbrook on the same team lmao

Do they have a reality show yet?

AD needs more of the blame. He is still trash.

game is listed as a 9pm start, doesn't tip until 9:42. so stupid. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

unsurprisingly it's Al Horford with the first flagrant foul of the new nba season.

Exactly.. And what would’ve happened had the first game gone to double overtime? Would they just have tipped at 10:29 just so the league makes sure we see how happy Steph, klay etc are?

Surprised to see Russ with that much bounce still.

[Reynolds Woodcock 4738]

I thought Wiseman looked pretty good last night considering it was his first NBA game in over a year.  It's insane how much young talent the Warriors have accumulated while still winning 4 out of the last 8 championships.

Especially with that bad hammy

I wonder what percentage of Lakers' fans would sign up for the Lebron/AD experience knowing what they know now. One bubble championship (their first title in 10 years) for...

Two missed playoffs, one first round exit, currently stuck with arguably the worst player 3-14 rosters in the league, cap space hell, AD will never be "that guy", and Space Jam 2.

But I was told that Anthony Davis is better than Tim Duncan?
