NBA: *** 2024 NBA thread ***

[t-noah]

I agree on Brunson and Luka, can’t say I have the same view of SGA but honestly haven’t watched him as much so may be missing it. It annoys me when they whine about things and then go to the other end and our fouling just as hard or harder. Brunson is the worse in my opinion. He hooks, he flops, he’s got a whiny face. Might be the most annoying player to watch.

On another note though, they’re playing the game and using rules to their advantage. It seems slimy but at the same time one could argue it’s smart.

I don't watch the nba much, until the playoffs, but whenever I watch Brunsun play I just see a hard-nosed player who makes things happen and scores. I don't necessarily dislike him, as I haven't noticed the things you allude to. He just seems, to me, like a player you wish that you had on your team.

Would somebody PLEASE tell the OKC fans by all wearing the same tshirt they look ridiculous and like they're in a f*cking cult? Lol.

This crowd is crazy too.

Best atmosphere in the NBA and possibly pro sports. It's the Arrowhead Stadium of the NBA. Thunder basketball has eclipsed Sooner football in the state. It's nuts how much the entire state loves that team. They could have put the team in Tulsa and it would be similar. This is their title to lose imo.

I feel like I'm watching a game at Boise St.

YES. Annoying isn't it?

I'm just messin' around. No worries

I freaking HATE that NBA on TNT/Inside the NBA is going away. That is hands down the best post-game show in basketball and nothing else even comes close.

Best pre/post-game show in ANY sport

I told my wife last night, from a marketing standpoint it's an awful idea. I can't tell if the arena is full or empty because they lay the shirts out right about chest height.

At first glance I thought the arena was empty...or a lot of empty seats..it was odd to view it on TV.

Bulldog is the word that comes to mind for me.

He is very nice and humble in interviews, good teammate, and all time great shot maker. He does bait a ton of foul calls that are actually offensive fouls, he just does.

I’m not sure why he gets a pass on defense when other all star caliber players don’t, his career steals total is shockingly low for a career starting gaurd, Haliburton has been in the league years less and has 4x the steals. For some reason his height doesn’t matter scoring very easily over 7 footers but it does make him well below average on defense.

The Brunson head flop is infuriating. Any contact and he flings his head back to draw a call. Also Knicks fans suck, so makes any Knicks star hateable.

Agreed but the NBA is way better when the Knicks are good. Playoff games at MSG are awesome

MSG is great. I think it’s probably the best NBA arena for the playoffs.

Tamin and Keshon ate good with that move, people do it because it works.

It was annoying and college basketball did something about it.
