Today the Laker bench is 5-16. I guess it's Lebron's fault!

The bench sucks lol

You don't seem to understand the idea that a bench can be full of bad players or good players it's not entirely a star's league

The NBA needs to stop back-to-backs and shorten the season this is getting ridiculous

Make nationally televised games count as two wins.

Spread TV games out evenly over all the teams. No cherry-picking for rivalries, let rivalries grow naturally over competing for a bigger prize.




That's a stupid idea but the thing it's trying to address is "integrity of the product" – or is the face of the franchise going to appear in the game if his picture is on the ticket I just bought?

It is neither the stars' nor the coaches' prerogative to give the ticket holder entertainment, theirs is to win a Championship. It's the team front office's responsibility to be truthful in their marketing and it's on the league to decide whether the regular season actually matters when the playoffs arrive and completely rewrite the format.

Steven Adams out 3-5 weeks

Kings can make a play at the 2 seed back only 3.5 after obliterating Memphis by 30+. Seems like the NBA gods are injuring all teams but Sacramento lol

And the NBA will never play less games because owners want those ticket sales and the Union will never bargain for it because why would they, coaches are gonna sit the stars and stars sitting is more minutes for the non-stars. Sure does suck for fans to show up and not see the stars though.

Reminds me seeing one of Darko Milicic's starts when he was briefly with the Wolves. Their stars that year were Al Jefferson and a young Kevin Love, both of whom sat that night. I've literally never seen a more boring pro game in my life, and it was a blowout loss (because of course it was). Normally at least going to games is fun, even if we lose because there's a good atmosphere but holy poo poo that was the deadest stadium I have ever been in.

how can we not talk about family
when family's all that we got?
I just remembered an old NBA meme: you've been snatched by bookies and are going to be killed unless a player (at their peak) that shares your birthday scores 30 in a game. here's a site that lets you look up all NBA/ABA/WNBA players birthdays

I think I’m safe cause I have Kobe (who will score 60 just to stunt on my kidnappers) and Seth Curry backing him up who's probably done it a few times

The highest PPG of players who share my birthday is LaPhonso Ellis with 11.9, but luckily for me the legendary PJ Tucker is also on the list so I think I'll be just fine :cool:

drat PJ's highest game total is 24. RIP :(

e: Ellis did it 8 times, all in the first three months of 1997. since you get him at his peak you have a shot

e2: that's 8x in 40 games, 20% chance!
