paul carruthers Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 If I hadn't been watching all the sports talk shows today, I would have completely missed that tonight the NBA regular season tips off, with a TNT doubleheader. Even if I miss the games, I will be flipping channels for the great TNT pregame and halftime shows. Chuck, Ernie, Kenny and Shaq always entertain....

Golden State, who I like because they have Curry, lost a tough one to Phoenix. Likely because its day one and Kevin Durant was not injured. Lets see how long that lasts? No long says the smart money. So do you think any teams have improved enough to take the next step? Have the Knicks gotten any help? They are on the rise but likely need one more star caliber player to beat Boston or Philly in a series. Denver is the current champion. Was not sure Id live to see that. I say no way they repeat.

paul carruthers Posted October 25, 2023 Author Share Posted October 25, 2023 ^^ I know it's just one game, but the way they handled the Lakeshow last night, I wouldn't bet against Denver repeating as champs.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul carruthers Posted November 12, 2023 Author Share Posted November 12, 2023 I saw a blurb on my YouTube page that the Clippers are winless with James Harden & thought to myself, it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. What will be the countdown for Harden becoming a malcontent in LA and demanding a trade.... 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On paper. Cleveland has been surprisingly good in the East. I cant imagine Denver repeating. Golden State to me is the team if they can keep the big stars healthy at the end. But they have lost both games to who? Cleveland. Boston still the likely favorite but the 76ers are also a huge threat. The Knicks? I really thought they would add that extra piece. How good can the Lakers be? Orlando is playing very well. As are the T Wolves who might be the sleeper in all of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 (edited) Well, Noseratu Bat Boy has finally killed my interest in the NBA. This idiotic wanna-be-like-soccer cash-grab in-season tournament is a joke. That's it. I'm done with the sport. Fuck off and die Adam Silver.

Bong-Man Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Pistons are running on 3 cylinders. I can't even watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul carruthers Posted December 13, 2023 Author Share Posted December 13, 2023 Draymond Green in trouble again--some things never change. I guess the only question is, will the NBA bring down the hammer this time, or give him another light slap on the ass like they did Ja Morant...

Bong-Man Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 The Detroit Pistons have tied their franchise record of 21 consecutive losses. Next up is the league record of 28 losses by the 76ers. That was done over two seasons though. Last night they lost the rebound battle 53 to 35. Tough to win a game with stats like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcczep Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Watched a George Gervin doc on NBA-TV. 2 hours of vintage Iceman and his exploits on and off the floor. That finger roll, the bank shots...straight butter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough times for the once proud Pistons. It seems that Cleveland might be as good as Philly for the second best team in th eEast behind Boston? Id put the Knicks and Orlando next. Denver can be beaten in the West. Dallas is tough if they have Doncic. Golden st needs all hands. The Clippers are the mystery right now. Playing good of late. OKC and Houston have rebuilt fast.

LedZeppfan1977 Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 (edited) OMG the Pistons took Boston to OT. 17 point underdogs. but sadly lost their 28th in a row! On the Pistons bench is Isaiah Stewart who played for my high school McQuaid Jesuit Edited December 29, 2023 by LedZeppfan1977 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZeppfan1977 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 The Pistons have lost 28 in a row but the last game they fought the Celtics to OT in Boston. Im taking a shot on them tonight to end the misery. Taking Pistons on money line over Toronto who lost in Boston last night by two. Detroit did not play last night and should come out smoking. I hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
