2018 NBA OFFSEASON

ha i have no memory of that, anyway kyrie is saying ~all the right things~ as far as staying with the celtics none of this i focusing on this season then well see what happens, which makes sense to me the celtics are championship contenders and the knicks are the knicks

When you're a Knick
You're a Knick all the way
From your first 3 point brick
To your last dyin' day

Phoenix's pursuit of a starting point guard could factor into the Jimmy Butler trade discussions as a potential third-team partner, league sources tell ESPN. If Minnesota trades for Goran Dragic in a Miami/Butler scenario, that could make Wolves PG Jeff Teague available for Suns.

the suns not having a viable pg (the most stacked position) three weeks before opening night is very suns.

the suns should trade for goran dragic

third times the charm

Jimmy butler on the heat seems kind of perfect.

midseason form:

Calling the Lakers a “historic franchise in this league,” James alluded to their 16 championships and legendary former players. “That’s excitement in its own right,” he said. “And then it’s just always humbling for me any time I get an opportunity to be a part of something special.”

As far as bringing the franchise its 17th NBA title, though, James asserted that he didn’t “believe the only thing that’s a success in marking a season is winning a championship.” He told reporters, “There’s only one champion, but that doesn’t mean you’re not successful. There’s gonna be wins and losses and things of that nature … But if we continue to work the process and continue to sacrifice for one another and put in the commitment and the time to be great, everything will fall into place, as I’ve said before.”

Asked Monday about what “creates pressure” for him at this stage of his career, James replied, “Nothing,” before repeating the thought with a smile. “Nothing.”

There’s gonna be wins and losses and things of that nature

YES! this must happen

think we already did things of that nature in the thread title and things of that nature

i'm fine with running it back tbh unless another amazing quote presents itself

also this is the only thread title search could find (and it is amazing, respect where it's due)

When there is very little left to eat and you make macaroni and cheese and realize there isn't any butter and things of that nature

kyrie more into rico hines early work

“Obviously, I could have gone to LA, could’ve gone to UCLA, but it just became too commercialized, honestly,” Irving said in an interview with the Globe.

jamal crawford seems like a good dude

jamal has the relaxed confidence that comes with the kind of career he's put together.

Love Jamal

ya I didn't like him when he was on the Bulls cause he was such a chucker (granted that team was in desperate need of his offense) but a year or so after he left, local radio that broadcast Bulls games had aired an extended interview w/him and he totally won me over.

he def take some of the worst shots

esp when he was young & playing big minutes

he just missed out on playing in the perfect era for his playing style

tru

his highlight reel is just about as sick as anyones tho

I remember his 52 pt game but don't remember that he made 16 consecutive shots, 8 consec 3's during it. That's impressive!

I feel like a bball god when I make 5 in a row in pickup vs a shtty defender haha

lol same with 3 shots

hitting shots feels good

OMG first Dubs pre-season game is tomorrow!

And Celts tonight! It's. Happening.

hoop is upon us

Time for new thread, or wait til preseason is over?
