2021-2022 NBA Regular Season

[Man Called X]

I mean what do you expect a man to do when another man is pointing a finger right in your face?

@Man Called X would slap the shit out of Rondo's hand away too

I would've absolutely broke his finger.

Sexton doesn't play PG. And why can't both be true? Lakers team doesn't fit together. Nor does the Cavaliers. Not sure what your point was. Cavaliers are rebuilding. Lakers are supposed to be championship contenders but aren't because the team is poorly assembled.

It was a joke. Thought the whole "fixed it for you" pretty much established it was a joke.

Then again,... maybe not. Cavs have many parts that don't fit together. Sexton would fit if he COULD play PG.

As for the Lakers fitting together or not, fine. Fuck the Lakers. And fuck the Warriors. And the Celtics too.

I don't believe Cade's 'ankle' injury is real.

It has to be something to do with his new shot or they are simply tanking. Which is bizarre as they can tank with him...could be a combination of both. Tanking without him is much easier than with him in terms of PR.

Either way, there is a clear lack of transparency coming from the Pistons direction and Cade's agent. The team doesn't know when he will be back, he isn't travelling with the team either. Just weird.

Did the coach say anything mean to him?

Just checking...

I'm not getting this one either. Rondo points his fingers in the fan's face, and leaves them there for several seconds (and as some here have mentioned, it almost looked like he was mimicking firing a gun at the fan) ... and the fan is outrageous for slapping away Rondo's fingers?

Side issue: is sitting courtside (as in, feet right on the floor; not talking about being a few rows back) that terrific? Yeah, it's hard to beat being that close to the action. But you can't get up to take a piss or get another drink without an usher's say-so. There's really no place to put your drink or food (the whole reason for this clip in the first place). You're constantly at risk of players charging into you as they chase a loose ball. You're gonna have a large dude's ass in your face if there's a side-out in front of you. If you absent-mindedly pick your nose or yawn or whatever, and get caught on camera, you're gonna spawn any number of social media threads laughing at you. Not saying I'd turn down those seats, but they come with some unique drawbacks.

Those seats are for people who like to be seen.

It's weird because you've started from a proposition based on nothing.

It's very easy to understand if you simply just accept that he's injured.

Thing is, they keep changing what they are saying. His road to recovery continues to change.

- October 1 he gets a "very mild" ankle injury. Doesn't use boot or crutches.

* Coach says he isn't worried about cade missing the preseason opener, which is a home game.
* Cade misses the preseason opener on Oct. 6, misses the entire preseason

- Oct. 17 casey says cade is on course to play in the season opener (a home game)

- Oct. 19 cade is ruled out for the season opener

- Oct. 20 Weaver says that cade is out for the road trip but they hope to have him back for their next home game

I have also heard Cade and his agent has not been sharing info in regards to Cade with the team. He is currently not with the team.

There are a lot of options, but obviously there is very obvious lack of transparency coming from many directions.

Following the data it also seems like the organization do not want to lose on ticket sales, so they continually say that he will be back at certain date and continue to postpone. NBA doctors know timelines. It's not that hard.

Anyways, it could be a part of it, or all of it. I just don't think we have the whole picture.

That does sound a bit weird. But then, Windler's shin may have sounded like that from the outside and the same with Love's calf. And I could see why you would want a guy who has an ankle injury not traveling with the team.

 

[Cement]

Charlotte looks...intriguing.

 

[Heat Check]

People here lost their minds when we "let" Miles Bridges score 30 points the other day. Just watched him hang 32 on the Nets.

 

[macbdog]

Good times in Lakerland.

Eh, I'd defend this guy but he is some chotch who can spend thousands to sit courtside at a Lakers game. Seen/heard too many turds in these seats say shit that should get them punched; Without knowing exactly what this guy said I'm not gonna go off on Rondo. And I don't really like Rondo, either.

James Harden isn't playing well. At least not for James Harden.

1 free throw and 8 turnovers. Looks like the refs are applying the changes.

looks like Harden and Young are the biggest reasons for the rule change anyway lol
