NBA Season - now 24/25
-
was talking to the kids on the way to school about the insane level of talent floating around at the moment. The old guys are having to work very hard to keep up.
LBJ is still going well (at one end), Durant hurt, Harden hurt. Curry slowing. Their era is coming to a close
But that talent below, no not below, coming after them is insane. Luka, Embiid, Morant, Tatum, Booker and Ayton at the Suns, just incredible younger players everywhere. Throw in MVP level guys like Jokic and Giannis who have years left and the league is in really fucking good hands. Even a guy like Dejounte Murray at the Spurs is sticking up good all round numbers on an average team. And the class of rookies and sophomores.
And, best of all, it's all spread around the league.

Trae Young, and maybe one day even Zion too.

@mariner4life in the top 40 scorers in the league you have:
14 players 20-24yo
Doncic, Young, Morant, Tatum, SGA, Ingram, Fox, Edwards, Herro, Garland, Ball, Bridges, Barrett, Trent Jnr19 players 25-30yo
Embiid, Giannis, Jokic, Mitchell, Booker, KAT, Lavine, Jaylen Brown, McCollum, Siakim, Vanvleet, Dejounte Murray, Middleton, Randle, Rozier, DeAngelo Russell, Sabonis, Tobias Harris, Christian Wood7 players 31yo+
LBJ, DeRozan, Curry, Harden, Holiday, Westbrook, VucevicPlayers that would very likely be in this mix if they had played enough games - Durant (31+), Zion (20-24), Klay (31+), Jamal Murray (25-30), Beal (25-30), Wall (31+)
League is in a good transition point

Russ moans about being called Westbrick and basically confirms that from now on he'll be called that on the road (possibly at home) forever.
That whole situation is a fucking mess and I feel a bit shit because I quite like Russ' passion, but he is simply stinking the fucking joint out.
And, fuck you for moaning about your kids getting a bit of shit.
Like, fucking hell man, you are as rich as fucking shit and you'll get paid more than LBJ next year, read the goddamn room.

Russ is not above being pretty fucking rude to reporters that ask questions he doesn't like. Pot kettle champ.
My guy, you are getting $41 million fucking dollars a year, you are playing like absolute shit at a team with lofty expectations. Worse than that, your effort isn't demonstrably there, and you simply refuse to change the way you play to adjust to your situation/age. I reckon taking some shit from the crowd is expected
There have been some crazy videos of fans and player jawing at each other at Lakers games.
Also Westbrick is one of my favourite nicknames in all of sports.

You know things are really really really bad when Lebron goes for a triple double and Russ gets 30 and you still can’t beat the team with the worst record in the West.
For the sake of the game, I hope the Lakers don’t make the play-offs/in.
-
@act-crusader They really can't guard anyone - they gave up 19 points in OT, that's equivalent to a 45 point quarter!!!
-
How good were the two games today? Bit of feeling in the Nets and Sixers game. Nets showed plenty of fight and sting.
And a back and forth / plenty of lead changes game between the Warriors and Nuggets. Steph had a quality 3rd quarter. The trapping by the Nuggets late in the 4th got undone with some good shooting.
Playoff level ball
-
lol the Spurs and the T-wolves obviously decided to skip defense today according to the box score
149 plays 139 with no OT
-
@mariner4life Jeez with a score like that Karl Anthony Town must have got close to the ton on his own.
EDIT: Just checked and find he wracked up sixty points from his thirty six minutes on court. https://www.flashscore.com/match/S4skRWjP/#/match-summary/match-summary

KAT had a 33 point quarter - it was almost Klay-esque. Couldn’t miss. Was no flash in the pan for the All-star 3pt contest. Boy has great range.
Steph lighting up for 47 on his birthday with some of those ridiculous contested 3s back. His 2pt game was very good too.
Lakers losing at home to a very inconsistent Raptors. Useless.
-
@act-crusader the Lakers roster is old and washed up. If LBJ had considerable input with the roster he needs to stop trying to be ad hoc GM

Terrible luck for GSW as now Steph is out. should be back for the playoffs - have to say the Suns have the box seat, but watch out for my Mavs

@shark They're both good value off the court.
I've become a bit of a fan of Draymond, not because of what he does on the court, but because of how he is as a podcast host and analyst.
He can fuck off and eat a lice pussy
