2024-25 NBA Thread: for the second time, somebody in Dallas hits low percentage shot that leads to a generation of conspiracy theories (19 Viewers)

[identikit]

Thought Murray was shot there

 

[identikit]

Fun half

Daigneault has got to stop with these early challenges

Strong disagree, generally. From the jumbotron at Ball that looked clean.

This game is awesome.

Wasn't though

I really, really hate ESPN

Chet is so fluid and athletic but I worry that he is going to get broken in half like a breadstick.

breadsticks are bendable and flexible you are thinking of a pretzel stick just a little stick knowledge from the old swcer take that to the bank bromigo

 

[SWC]

as much as I like sgas game I absolutely detest the flopping it is the ruination of basketball at all levels take that to the bank bromrads

Thats why I said from the jumbotron. It's not a great view.

On a side note, what if by some miracle they win it all WITHOUT Tatum? Talk about a stain on his long term legacy. He didn't get Finals MVP when they won and then they went ahead and won without him?

I forgot he didn't win Finals MVP last year when they won the title. Awful. Terrible.
Could his legacy get more stained after that?

If they go win back to back titles, there will be some hard questions alright.

Potential dark days ahead

Jaylen was definitely the better player in the finals, but Tatum had a great close-out game. Really good performance for his legacy.

Westbrook is so adept at missing those

 

[Capella]

Guys I specifically said no dumb arguments while I’m gone.

In our defense we thought you were still gone!

I reluctantly bought the wifi package when I saw that the Mavs won the lottery lol.

Murray complains every possession

Murray complains every possession

If he got SGA's whistle he wouldn't be complaining at all

He wears New Balance

he’d probably get a better whistle if he stopped whining all the time

This game is a battle. It has been the best series of the playoffs.

Aaron Wiggins and Jalen Williams.

Nuggets - Clippers was pretty good in it's own right. Nuggets are entertaining, if nothing else.

Thunder committing way too many dumb fouls nowhere near the basket.

 

[Moe.]

Well, I think that JDub dunk attempt is a nice microcosm of the Thunder’s night so far. See you guys on Sunday

 

[scoobus]

I thought the Nuggets would be too worn out from the Clippers series to keep up with OKC, but credit to them. You always have a chance when you have the best player on Earth.

 

[SWC]

i mean i think this is a great series so i dont mind another game but i think okc might have an edge and even if they dont win this year that freight train is coming take that to the bank bromigos

 

[the moops]

These playoffs have been very enjoyable. Fun game tonight

i have no idea why this made me laugh but it did so well played brohan take that to the bank

 

[Harry Frogfish]

Hours ago I told myself just don't post about it, that's all you have to do.

But I can't help it. The officiating. This crew seems next level, is there some truth to that?

Julian Strawther!! Hello

It's his, what, 5th straight year as the clearly best player in the NBA? In a league with a lot of great talents right now. They're just not close to this level.

@Jayrod Alex Caruso is really damn good

He's certainly the Kobe Bryant of Chris Pauls.

Those New Balance 9060's are game changers. Not sure I'll ever wear another shoe for walks/gym.

I have wide hobbit feet. No standard width over here.

Game 7. Can't Wait!

Game 7s in the NBA are always special. Glad the Nuggets forced it but I don't care who wins it.

Glad they have some shoes that work for you. Great brand overall that are comfortable and timeless.

I'm definitely pulling for the Nuggets. I can't stand OKC and their North Korean fanbase.

 

[Jayrod]

@Jayrod Alex Caruso is really damn good

He's a nice role player, but this wasn't exactly a standout game. His statline was about even with MPJ's.

I know he plays better defense, but he had zero rebounds, 5 fouls and smoked a couple of layups in the 2nd half and finished -4 while playing with the presumptive MVP and the deepest team in the league.

Did you watch the game?

Jokic eyeing to add his 3rd 3-1 series comeback.

Yes. He had a few nice moments late and his on ball defense is always good.

Good, not great, game from him.

I dot think you actually did watch. Caruso is a menace and has been incredible. If he played for Brad Stevens you would be all over him.

Just noticed they have Cooper. I'd love to know what their advertising budget is like compared to Nike. They're notoriously good quality shoes but equally bad at marketing them. When has NB been "cool" or trendy? Ever? Nike, otoh, seems to find ways to be relevant (and I think bringing back some key cogs will help them rebound as you can see a difference there already). Man they've done well with some pretty crappy products.

NB has blown the lock off their marketing budget which is great but these commercials they put out there are still 1980/90s New Balance. It's actually funnier when you see mega stars like Ohtani in some studio doing a high school production. Wonder what they come up with for Flagg.

The only privately held / family-owned and operated (Major) footwear company in the world. Cutting fat checks to the right names is great but they could use a page out of Apple's playbook.

Go Nuggets.
