Cs will beat this OKC team next week.


Even if we don't win, it won't matter much to anyone except the media who are tired of talking about how good we are and need something else to go to. The game will definitely mean more to OKC than us and we're possibly resting guys against their full roster.

Rockets only 1 game behind GSW for the 10th seed and final play-in spot in West.

Probably happening before him already and with bigger names attached. No sources. Just a hot take.

Give the NBA a break, there's no way they could have known that mixing betting and sports would lead to allegations of match fixing.

Is it just me or do the Mavericks and Jazz play each other twice every week?

Per this article, 8 post-up shots per game is a lot -- not for an individual player, but for a whole team.

https://heavy.com/sports/boston-celtics/celtics-post-game-has-been-dominant/?adt_ei=%5Bemail%5D

Is it my imagination, or wouldn't Shaq or Hakeem or Kareem or McHale (on a busy day) or Wilt (on a slow day) take that many individually?

My point exactly, except that I've pulled it out of the file to examine.

Hey this a really fun thread from the GB if anyone wants to check it out. Some guy found an NBA message board from the 80's. And then some folks in the comments found the RGM General Board from 2002.

It's an awesome trip down memory lane, very interesting to see what people thought of the NBA then and how they discussed it. And surprise, many NBA fans hated the refs and the defensive rules and thought the NBA was stupid and boring and rigged then just like many fans do now haha.

First the Greek freak walks with a few seconds to go and is absolutely no call.. Except a None shooting foul by the lakers..

Sick of the Greek freak getting away with walks..

But what tops that ?? Lebron James who is not in uniform walks onto the court to complain to the referees .... like how the **** is that not a tech?

2 of the most annoying get away with murder **** players in NBA history...

The Bucks late game execution looking exactly like us. The ECF will be a CTE bowl
