NBA Chatter Thread

Spurs beat the Thunder last night in what was a great NBA Cup game.

I have no problem at all with this loss, but the NBA has got to do something about teams who are up three from being able to constantly intentional foul their opponents to prevent a game tying three point attempt.

It's a smart strategy, so I completely understand why teams do it, but sometimes you have to value entertainment and doing what's best for your sport ahead of analytics/strategy.

Fans want to see players attempt buzzer beater attempts. Watching teams exchange free throws the last minute of a game (10-15 minutes real time) is boring as hell and drained all the excitement from what was a highly entertaining game. Last night's game deserved a better finish than watching the two teams trade free throws.

MLB fixed extreme shifts that were a detriment to their sport. It's time for the NBA to follow suit and fix their analytics-driven issues.

WNBA players' ugly feud with league explodes as union votes to STRIKE

The WNBPA and league have been negotiating a new agreement for the past few months, extending the deadline a couple of times with the latest one set to expire January 9.

They’ve voted overwhelmingly (98%) to strike if there’s no progress on their new CBA. How funny would it be if they went ahead and folded?

It's time to go buy the Pelicans and finish up there.

I'm also getting a nice chuckle out of watching JJ Redick finally realizing he's not the smartest guy in the room.
 
Looks like Joker escaped serious injury. Out 4 weeks with hyperextended knee.

Now Denver has to survive without the greatest non-athlete in the history of sports.

It might be time to reevaluate Flagg's ceiling.

What is there to reevaluate? His ceiling was always the best player in the league and a borderline top 10 all time type.

I'd take him over Wemby given the injury/frame concerns, even if Wemby has a higher ceiling if he can stay healthy and put it all together.
