Exclusive Official Around the NBA: November 2022

[Chris Craig]

You’ve slipped man. Sliding into that JinxSpeed territory for some reason.

I'm not saying anything that isn't fact.

 

[THE HCP]

Sigh

 

[BankTeller]

Except for Curry who, you gotta admit, has game.

Yeah Seth had game. Back when he played for us

 

[BankTeller]

Oh wait were you talking about Steph? Yeah he’s trash.

I expected the Blazers to be better because Dame was finally healthy. But the Jazz were supposed to be tanking for Wemba. They're going to have to trade Markkanen , Clarkson, Conley, and Vanderbilt for that to happen.

The Jazz own Minnesota's 2023 first-round pick unprotected. Maybe Minnesota will tank for them unintentionally like the Lakers did for the Pelicans.

The Timberpups aren't going to tank. They're barking up the wrong tree if they think that. Pun intended.

Great thread

Were they necessarily "tanking for Wemba", or just divesting themselves off players that didn't work together in exchange for future assets. I'm not going to claim that Ainge knew the pieces returned were going to fit together the way they have, but I don't think he's unhappy about it. If this start is for real and they keep performing at/near this level, I seriously doubt they do anything to reverse it.

Hey hey hey, looks like we have a valid thread now!

Be better bro. You know whats goin on. Why you doubling down on Kings antics?

if everyone on here starts posting complete outlandish takes many will
just go back to watching sports center. I personally come here for the united fandom, but also to have rational conversations about the team. There is no rational conversation to be had with the person who post the most outlandish takes most of the time in most threads.
I mean is he joking? Is he serious, is he trying to push buttons? Does he believe what he actually writes?

There is being a positive homer and then there is purposefully posting to annoy. Trolling.

I'm not trolling at all. I'm saying we are at the top of standings in the west. Fact. By way of standings we are best in the west. Fact. Will we remain there? Who knows?

What have I said there that is outlandish.

Not referring to you and im pretty sure you know this considering you know we are discussing kingspeeds trolling. Is he serious? Is he joking? Is he purposefully trying to annoy?

If you want to back him up all the way off the cliff of cred around here, thats your choice.
Ill get my nba news about other teams from another outlet. All good…. Do not understand why you are feeding the troller huge meals though…
Carry on.

I'm not responsible for what he says. I'm just choosing to remain hopeful about the Blazers. They have played better than most expected. They have played up to the potential I hoped they would. There is still a long season ahead.

As for Eric's antics of choice I don't find it annoying at all. I find it humorous. You guys are annoyed and see it as trolling I get that. But, I'm not feeding a troll, I'm feeding my hope. Will I be disappointed. Probably. Oh well.

For the record I believe he is hopeful like me and playfully joking. He is more optimistic than me though.

I think many people are hopeful around here but how many are saying other good teams are trash and all that?

its been a fairly widespread opinion that the outlandish takes have run their course and are annoying many.
It seems you are fine with that.
Carry on.

 

[RR7]

Sweet, a whole thread of a troll, and people feeding the troll. Nice job. Put the fucker on ignore instead of giving him what he fucking wants.

I don't seriously think of other teams as trash...Eric is joking. If you look at it that way or don't look at it all, maybe it won't be annoying. It's like you guys would be more satisfied if the Blazers were losing and things going as they usually would.

It's been a really interesting start to the season for teams that were supposed to be good or bad. Things seem a bit upside down right now with a lot of the perennial good teams on the bottom. Things will change. There is still a long season.

I'm going to keep being hopeful. I get annoyed with people being negative over and over again. I say we enjoy where things are now and keep our fingers crossed.

Scroll past it then. It isn't doing any harm aside from all yall whining about it in every thread. Just Scroll past it. It is easy.

Im starting too. Its just i used to like most of his posts. But he has gone off the rails. I kept hoping it was just a short term thing. i thought some hints might help. Apparently not.

He's always been this way, I dunno what you mean by a short term thing. Seriously either figure out how the ignore function works finally, or just go past it.

Maybe Ive missed some of it in the past. I seriously didn't know he was consistently so outlandish until recently.
I don't need to use the ignore button. I can just ignore, like how i ignore most of your posts.

I really thought it was a game and a short term need for attention…

 

[illmatic99]

Nash fired. so much drama.

[Ripcity4life77]

I only have one question for the Net's front office -- What took ya so long ??

Nash was a GREAT player but an average coach on his best day -- already seeing the Net's might contact the C's and try and get Udoka and that would be a great move for them IF it were to happen. Udoka is a very good coach and and below average flawed man for cheating but just talking B-Ball would be a great get.

...you think Udoka will coach in the NBA again?!

UPDATE: I guess you have a wow!

Do the Nets really need more controversy on that team?

Terry is looking for a job.
