I saw this and figured game 6 would be a formality...also I'm really bad at embedding tweets...

I walk like that after playing pick up

I walk like that after playing pick up

I used to walk like that after an all-day tournament ... now I walk like that just getting out of my chair.

Also being the best player on Earth helps

if he’s that great he would’ve stuck with cleveland

Why? You ever been to Cleveland?

Wow, can’t believe the Lakers didn’t have a tough game 6

To use your phrase LOL what a great response. I haven't gotten mad yet, for the 20th time you're just an annoying poster who felt the need to comment on my post about it being anti-climactic, which it was. You thought you were proving some great point by condescendingly asking me why I thought otherwise. You're annoying.

No one cares about this, but I also assure you no one here thinks you're being cool or rational. "Ok skip."

P.S. you using classic internet tough guy gaslighting techniques are pathetic - I only started calling you anything once you kept going after me for absolutely nothing, in an incredibly annoying way.

Try debating something of substance for once if arguing for the hell of it gets your rocks off.

Everyone can see who has maintained their composure and who has not in this exchange. Quote my alleged tough guy gas lighting.

Yeah I see a lot of people rushing to your defense. I don't get how you type about me not recognizing your tone, when your words were indisputably condescending and jerky, but yet you know I'm "angry" and not maintaining my composure. That's a good place to start.

I'm done buddy, it's over. I barely cared before, which is why my first post started with a ? since I really didn't get why you came at me. Congrats, you win!

January, 50 games

January, 50 games

I am thinking late January, 70 games with the season ending in August. Unless there is a major covid catastrophe.

I wonder when and how the NBA plans to return to its normal Oct-June schedule. In uncertain economic times I don't see the league deciding to cancel 30+ games right away. If anything, play a full 82 (or something close) starting in late January and try to get things back on a normal schedule a year or two down the line.

 

[UofCT]

if he’s that great he would’ve stuck with cleveland

If MJ was so great he would've stuck with Chicago

He did. In the ultimate stake through the Knicks hearts he flirted with them as a free agent in '96.

Hopefully they never do and like a Christmas-August season better

I think that makes a lot of sense and the idea has been floated around for a while. It'd boil down to TV ratings for the playoffs and if they'd take a big hit having the entire postseason in the summer months.

Thankfully this season is over.... The commish has moved on from BLM for next season because the NBA lost its butt this year.... Onward to basketball and not politics....

You really had to go and restart this thread for this comment, good call.

The mental gymnastics required to be a big enough fan to post on a message board that supports a team of almost exclusively politically active black men, and... whatever that post is... is just not something I have the intelligence to unpack. Someone help me out.

I have some bad news for you if you think the NBA is moving on from supporting their players

Bad take. I'm sure you "boycotted" the games too? Why don't you boycott UConn Basketball while you're at it. You won't be missed. Peace!

UConn may go beyond patches in support of BLM

University of Connecticut officials have discussed creating helmet stickers and warm-up T-shirts and altering athletic uniforms in other ways to show support for the Black Lives Matter movement.
