NBA 2023-2024 Season

[Fwiffo]

I live in Brooklyn(10 min walk to the Barclays). I am not a Nets fan but do go to games. Harden has been wanting to be dealt for a while.

Harden was MVP on the Rockets. Didn't think he was going anywhere. Nets were assembling superstar title run. He was easily the one with the most credibility showing up.

Fwiffs, get with the program. Harden is a suitcase now.

He wants his $$.

Let me summarize for the benefit of myself. James Harden. MVP. Left Houston for Brooklyn for the $$$.

Not because he wanted a ring.

 

[QuandoDio]

He wants his $$.

Makes no sense. He would get his $$ anywhere.

He wanted an easy ring hence the Brooklyn fiasco but he encountered a flat earther nutcase and part-time player, Kyrie and he thought, get me the fuck out of here and went to join Joel Embiid.

There are Knicks fans here?

ololololo. that was great

 

[Fwiffo]

Kyrie Irving can play again.

 

[Fwiffo]

There are only a few regular season games left...and the Raptors are 6th...

 

[Fwiffo]

Now I get it...all the screaming and horns last night was because the Raptors clinched a playoff spot.

Yes. And they’re the one team no one really wants to face.

I thought that would have been Heat or Bucks with their MVP.

Toronto is going to be a tough series for anyone

 

[Fwiffo]

We get the 76ers. Except no buzzer beating Kawhi Leonard this time.

Very beatable - the Sixers! Embiid is great but Harden seems washed. if he was the harden of old, they'd be co-favourites but he seems way off.

I wonder if they will re-establish the Jurassic Park viewing party outside the stadium. The longer the series and deeper the playoff run the more people without tickets just crowd the area around the arena.

Harden moved up a tiny bit in playoff seeding after jumping from the Brooklyn Nets.

 

[Fwiffo]

We're playing in Philadelphia and yet they still set up the outdoor viewing party known as Jurassic Park. I'm on the far end of the street nearly a block away with my windows closed and I can hear the DJ and the music.

Rain turned into slushy snow and I saw people queuing two plus hours before tip off with only a jumper on.

 

[Fwiffo]

We're on the brink of elimination.

 

[Fwiffo]

We live to fight another day.

total hack job by the refs. they're just trying to extend the series. philly closes it out next game.

 

[Fwiffo]

230 per ticket for the worst seat in the house at the top of the arena.

Not me but someone I know.

[Grand Potentate]

They might actually win this if Philly keeps playing this poorly

Sadly I picked a home bar a stone's throw away from the arena to meet up with some lady on Thursday assuming it would be empty because they were down by 3 games.

 

[ballmouse]

Doc Rivers has coached in 31 different playoff series. He's gone to a game 7 in 15 of them.

There are so many fans beyond Jurassic Park barriers I can't bloody get home.

Well you no longer have to worry about that now.

 

[Fwiffo]

They looked pretty lifeless when I went to a home bar to watch in the middle of Q3. I'm surprised Drake stayed for the whole game.

Celtics suspend their coach for an entire season. Why not just fire the guy?

 

[ballmouse]

Probably for the same reason the Nets did not cut Kyrie Irving or the Saints did not release Sean Payton.

Not even remotely comparable.

They likely don’t want to pay out on his contract. There are definitely some missing pieces on this story. None of it really makes any sense.
