R.D. Mangles posted:If you rooted for the Bulls during the Jordan years, you need to root for them through the Cameron Payne era, come join the SAS Bulls fans and angrily rant at the front office which has an angry bald coach-choker and what appears to be a weird iguana man, a howdy-doody doofus coach who will literally die if he wears a necktie, and a team that currently has a million useless point guards who can't shoot, a bad big whose only skill is bulging out his eyes to defer predators, and a first-ballot hall of fame legend cashing a check who might actually just sit on the bench with a pina colada while Stacey King attempts to scream warnings at players for leaving Lauri Markkanen alone at the three-point line although he probably won't be able to pronounce Markkanen and Neil Funk probably will call him Larry for the entire season. Asking someone whose last exposure was the Jordan years to come back to the Bulls now seems like a good way to lose a potential basketball fan

My boss at work decided to pick an NBA team 2 years ago when his kid starting playing ball, so he picked the Bulls because his kid loved Jimmy Butler. He is pretty much at 80% of R.D. Mangles and Dexo anger after just two years and wants to change teams

Spite posted:atlanta is going to be really cool and their new GM is extremely smart plus they have a very good coach. It's actually pretty smart when your most important player is a once in a generation defensive talent who is 9 feet tall and slow. I think they'll be okay depending on health. Gobert basically makes any defense good by himself and Rubio only adds to that while also being able to run the offense. Hood has a chance to be very good if he can finally stay healthy. Exum is still only 21. Donovan Mitchell looks fun. Derrick Favors has been a very good basketball player relatively recently. Iso Joe continues to Iso Joe like a motherfucker in crunch time

Also the Warriors are definitely winning a title just root for them it'll be very satisfying and they're fun to watch. Sports are dumb, you don't have to try to impress the internet

Alan Williams is a bucket getter Apparently Tom Haberstroh wrote an article about how Marcus Morris has the best defensive numbers against LEbron in the NBA, confirming my amazing scouting ability.

Oh that's easy it's because whether he makes the shot or misses the shot he's going to get paid either way and is not going to get destroyed in the media if he misses. so he has no worries.

That's an advanced course still at this point, otherwise you are in the draft thread arguing that the Sixers don't need to draft a guard because they already have a starting caliber guard, Sergio Rodriguez.

I would encourage you to cheer for the Raptors because being marginally entertained but mostly completely unsatisfied and disappointed gives your life perspective and enriches your other endeavours beyond sport. However, they just traded Demarree Carroll so you'll already be missing out on peak frustration.

Remember when he got bought out and could have signed with the Cavs to play for a title but instead went to Miami to hang out in south beach and live the Boat Life because who really cares about titles when you've made like $200 million playing basketball? Smartest man in sports

MourningView posted:You can tell whether or not someone has actually seen Utah play recently by seeing if they call them "fun." They have good young players and were really bad recently so people want them to be fun and exciting but they play at the slowest pace in the league and the offense is a slog. I don't mind slow as much as some people and have a fondness for some of their players but that's probably fair. Not fun in the way a fast pace passing heavy team is fun. They do have Ricky now though so it may be more accurate than it appears. The Bucks are sort of the same way though, Giannis is just so cool it distracts people from it. Paul Zuvella posted:He's a 6'8 center who is a small sample size all star Guarantee a lot of people know him cause he was a fantasy waiver wire star, not like the suns were drawing a lot of eyes last couple years. paternity suitor posted:If you're starting your fandom from the ground up, how can you not Trust a Process? right now processors are flying high, but they and the body weight of their players are held up by two sided tape and wood glue. Scary bandwagon to jump. Jenny Angel posted:Real talk I forgot for a second that you post in CineD so I was thinking "who is this mega creep", but now I know you're a fellow CineGoon and thus only a minor creep Yeah just a normal creep with too good a memory. I remember where tons of posters are from, even I find it weird. I guess it makes sense here where people talk about going to games in various cities but I don't know why it sticks in my head in CineD too. I'm not stalking you specifically

You should be a Bulls fan for the delicious, often eloquent freude of other Bulls fans' schaden, there's really nothing like it anywhere in the NBA. Maybe it's because of Jordan and the monkey's paw, will we ever know for sure?
