Everyone's settled in now. Boston won game 1 against GS and still lost. We'll see.

Cool editing.

Dallas shot their wad against MINN

What did Boston have to give up to get Jru, Porzingus and White?
Pritchard was a great draft pick. The ex GS GM was right: the real MVP of that team is Brad Stevens.

The refs took Boston

Yeah what the fuck is a charge then.

I know its been discussed but Luka needs to fix his body. He's listed at 6'7" and 235 pounds with soft arms and a double chin. If he flipped most of that fat for muscle he'd be a lean 245. No one could handle him inside and maybe, just maybe the blocking foul at the end of the game is a charge because he's actually quick enough to get his feet set. Larry Bird liked to drink beer with the best of them but he was a fanatical workout warrior. Luka on the other hand is a world class video gamer. No joke. You don't just become that, it takes hours and hours of time. He's an incredible talent and I'd love to see the best version of him before it's too late.

Meh.
I don't like the Celtics, but they got Jru which was the winner move. That dude is the reason that the Pelicans upset the Blazers in 2019. Was a difference maker when the Bucks won it all.
Now has instilled defense and toughness on an otherwise soft skill team in Boston.
Probably won't even watch this game.

Well, that was an ass kicking

I tried to watch a quarter of the Fakers/Warriors. 😴
It's just boring. Get rid of the three point line or cap the amount you can take. Make the minimum age 21. That solves most of the problems.

I don't disagree about the problems you identify with your solutions. They'd have to ban the 3 for a generation to reset how kids train and how coaches plan, though. Maybe they could limit 3's to only counting in the final 3 minutes of each quarter or something. I'd say push the line back a foot or more but these guys are hitting 28 footers these days.
I think the real problems are culture- related issues that won't change without a new commissioner. The players don't give a shit about winning or the fans. They only want the money and a social media following for their podcasts.

Barkley is fucking awesome.
-
I hated Stern for what he did to the Sonics, but he was a strong commissioner. Silver is too much of a doormat. He swindled some TV networks though.

Luka traded for AD.
NOC
-
Seems the Spurs care - Fox is solid with Victor, no idea who is wearing purple but he’s not Vic
I would venture to say the Luka Davis swap and Fox/who? gif trade is the most interesting thing about the nba after viewing my ESPN app.this weekend.

Imagine hating on beer, video games, and murdering everything in your path on the way to a Finals because you're a future HOF.
Of course people care. It's the biggest story in sports and the 2024-25 NBA season hasn't even begun yet.
The Mavericks are officially cooked for at least a decade+. Batshit crazy move by the new majority owners.
-
I'm not sure where the net and video game references are coming from, but most people are claiming the Mavs won the trade for the near-term. If they're in win-now mode - which they clearly are - I tend to agree. AD is a beast.
The fact that they quit on Luka should tell you a lot about him. Fat and injured, on top of constant whining. It's hilarious that this trade cost him a chance at the mega contract. Dallas did what New Orleans should've done with Zion two years ago.
NOC in that nobody had made any comment on it here many hours after it happened.
-
Luka would have been up for a $325 million super max contract. Total financial move.
Plus Cuban is a commie nutcase. TITTT

Are the Mavs in financial trouble? I'm assuming the new owners want to make a return in their investment. Generally speaking, keeping superstars is a good thing in the NBA. Are teams going to start dumping guys when they become eligible for the supermax? If yes, that signals an entirely new era in the league.
