I can’t hate on the commish. He’s given us the play-in games and the midseason tournament…and I like both of those innovations.

Plus when every team was scoring a zillion points a year or two ago he clearly sent the word out to call fewer fouls and allow for more physical defense. You really see it in the playoffs…and I’m here for it

Also, he gifted us Memphis and Utah the top three picks before he slammed the door on tanking. Can’t think of three teams who needed it more. So thanks for that, Commish.

Add me to the list supporting him.

Silver is a terrible commissioner...he completely sold out the NBA to these degenerate online gambling companies. The only reason he's punishing tanking is because it was hurting their bottom line.

At some point, this degenerate gambling culture that he's fostered in is going to lead to a massive scandal. They've already had some already, but it's been small potatoes so far. It's only going to get worst, and it's because of Silver.

edit: 9 and 20, I didn't see your post. My bad. But yea, you're 100% spot on.

Thought: we've been hating on Bubs last second shot that increased our chances of picking sixth, but if we had picked fifth two years ago, we wouldn't be eligible to pick top5 next year due to the new rule. DAWKINS AND BUB PLAYING 3D CHESS.
