The little things!

[nykballa2k4]

i suggest renaming this thread to something like "10 little things that annoy me" or just "10 annoying things" since the purpose of this is to complain and folks here are real good at that


10. cross generation player comps - it's like comparing a horse to a tesla - they ain't the same

9. woj/shams spoiling picks on draft night before they're selected

8. people getting baited by stephen a smith - dude is an actor who panders to the simple minded for easy engagement

7. the 2-minute report - what is the point of this aside from deepening fan rage/resentment?

6. doris turning everything star players do into a tearful haiku

5. back 2 backs/3 games in 4 nights

4. injuries

3. raptors fans

2. officiating

I read someone here compare Kolek to Stockton and I know for a fact he wasn't even alive in the 90s. Posts like those are beyond dumb!

I think the comparisons to David Stockton are just fine.

5.
State and local income tax.
Not at all fair how Miami and other teams have a tax work around. Just like the proposed cap smoothing, all salaries should be "after tax" numbers and the teams can adjust the cap accordingly.

Number 5 isn't a little thing, imho. It's a big issue and I wish the league would fix it.

Since the NBA season is slowly coming to an end with all the important news, it's time for the really important topics. LoL! What are the little things that really annoy you? My top 10 in no clear order.
1. That now every second player wears a T-shirt under their jersey.

What I hate about t-shirts is they are usually a different color than the jersey. Some of them are compression shirts, not cheap. But it's the NBA, they should be able to have t-shirts the same color as the jersey even though teams often have three colors of jersey.

1. The stupid in-season tournament. It is devoid of meaning, it has disgusting court designs, and it has - I believe - an eroding effect on the weight of the playoffs/Finals. What annoys me most is the NBA's media partners rushing to laud the project based on short-term, year-one ratings without thinking of the big picture. It's a good reminder that it's a business partnership and not actual journalism.

2. The number of timeouts, including above all else the TV timeouts.

3. The NBA's archaic technology and video review system. They are so far behind every other major sport around the world that it's a complete and utter embarrassment. When they bring out these 2008 monitors onto the scorer's table with all the silly wires, I just want to bang my head against the wall.

4. Scott Foster influencing the outcome of games on behalf of the league. And nobody batting an eyelid.

5. The Wizards logo. And jerseys. Kak.

6. When the broadcast plays the sideline reporters' jibber jabber at the start of the 4th quarter while the game is playing. It's never interesting, and it will ruin the commentary if there is a great play.

7. Giannis's free throw routine - good call. It might kill me one day, seriously.

8. NBA fans with no taste rushing to trash every jersey design when they leak based off bad quality iphone pics. Only to suggest awful and basic ideas like "what if they put the skyline" STFU.

9. The Brooklyn Nets getting their pick back and tanking for Flagg. Just annoying. The mfs rebounded incredibly well from the KD/Kyrie fiasco and it angers me.

10. Kevin Durant being an NBA player.

1. analytics (mostly)
2. rich paul
3. JD & The Straight Shot
4. Bending rules for starplayers (carrying, travelling, etc.)
5. chucking 40-50 threes a night
6. getting Techs for every little emotional reaction on the court
7. the all star weekend
8. drafting players from europe or other countries, that will never join the league
9. tyreese haliburton's fits
10. Gilbert Arenas and their podcast

honorable mention like some said before
Doris Burke, she adds nothing to the broadcast besideds blowing players off and shes only in that position because of politics.

I mean, this looks so trashy with the trim disappearing!

I liked Gil as a player, tried to listen to his takes. Man spits nothing but non-sense. If he says its a sunny day, I am packing my umbrella

Dedicated to evevale:

Doris Burke annoys
Only thing worse than her voice
Is the things she says

*snif*

Gilbert is a manchild. I figured that awhile ago but when he started talking about the woman who had a kid with Jalen Green with Nick Young, bragging about getting head in the backseat of a car from her and cackling about it like a supervillain. Bro you're 42 years old.

That and Chanel's comment about Scott Foster are serious problems.

Is Scott Foster a problem or the NBA's idea of a solution?

#10 is my #1

I think its idiotic for people to "name your top 5" and then list Wilt and Bill Russell like you have seen them. My rule when having these debates is that only if you have seen them or in your era.

LOL I actually had a conversation about how the NBA only has like 10 girls for the NBA or something. You can pretty much get any girl you want, why mess with someone that's already been around the NBA?

Foster is not an independent actor in my opinion. The higher ups know full well what he does.

Adam Silver was there when David Stern obstructed the FBI's investigation. I refuse to believe that they are on the up and up.

There's a lotta weird stuff that goes on in those circles. Dudes will purposely try to sleep with women who are attached to other athletes and vice versa. It's all a game to them probably, well, except for the ones who end up getting put on the hook for 18 years of child support and subsidizing someone's lifestyle

If you're 12 and wear a t-shirt under your basketball jersey that's fine, but not when you play in the league!

Year 2030 in the nba!
