2022 Off-season Thread - The Future is Bright

[inliner311]

Just watched my first baseball game in a years. One thing I noticed was how quiet is was compared to a cavs game. I wish they would quiet the place down some and just let us enjoy the sounds of the game.

I'm not sure the NBA needs to take advice from the MLB to make it entertaining for fans. MLB is now interviewing outfielders during the game to have something interesting for viewers to watch.

That's not really why and some of us find that irritating because plenty is happening.

Draymond did that during the playoffs

 

[Wham with the Right Hand]

But, but,,,,What what about Agbaji? Does he back up Markkinen? I assume LeVert and Sexton get the bulk at SG.

There's going to be incredible competition for minutes at the 2, with LeVert, Sexton, Okoro, and Agbaji all in the mix. Okoro might move back to the 3 as Marky's backup, where he would battle with Cedi for minutes.

Point guard is set with Garland and Neto until Rubio is ready.

Center is set with Allen and Lopez.

Love and Wade will compete for minutes behind Mobley at SF.

The more competition the better these guys will play. For example, the first half of last season Okoro had no competition for minutes, but since then Sexton has returned and we acquired LeVert and Agbaji. He won't be able to get away with being a one-dimensional defensive stopper anymore.

Draymond did that during the playoffs

Draymond is very good behind a microphone.

While he was on the court playing? They are literally doing interviews in the MLB while they are in play, not in the dug out or between innings. Two way conversations with an ear piece and mic.

Here is an example:

 

[backstreet hooper]

The Cavs now have four 7-footers for the coming season in Mobley, Allen, Markk, and Lopez. Any other team as big? One them, Markk, played today against Croatia and hit a clutch winner. We’ve seen it before, this dude is cool under pressure during the final moments. The language is probably Finnish based on the commentator’s reaction although I’m not sure. Link here:

The game is totally different….untimed game v timed game, ball in play less…..

both sports have value

Jarrett Allen is only 7' if you include the hair.

Are we not?

Looks like more teams are following the tower city lineups this upcoming season... Minnesota has Gobert-KAT... Orlando has a tall lineup it everyone is healthy...

Don't know if anybody cares, but Columbus Crew doing a nice job of fan engagement, fun experience in the new stadium.. pretty great for 50$ seats

Correct. Nobody cares. Guardians tickets are $41 lower level and it’s a major league sport.

Is that a rowing team?
