GDT: Charlotte Hornets and other NBA talk

[Novacane]

I think it’s time to go 3/3 with new owners in the state

 

[HisIceness]

Not a bad idea to be honest, Jordan doesn't have a clue.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

i still cant believe they drafted kaminsky

i mean, i can

but still

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

that is buffalo sabres level of overpaid crap.

 

[HisIceness]

Led by 10 with 3 to go as well. Sounds familiar?

 

[HisIceness]

Clippers gonna Clipper. Professional basketball in Los Angeles is going to suck for several years

 

[the halleJOKEL]

they just want to bring lebron and pg to LA next year

just not to the lakers lol

 

[HisIceness]

The Cavaliers are turning into quite the comedy show this season. Bless their souls

 

[Breakdowns]

Porzingis torn ACL

f*** me

 

[HisIceness]

GM LeBron James doing work.

 

[Unsustainable]

 

[HisIceness]

The NBA All-Star game just had quite possibly the dumbest intro and worst national anthem performance I've ever seen.

 

[HisIceness]

This Western Conference playoff race is cutthroat. 1 loss can send you from 4th place to 9th.

 

[HisIceness]

The Toronto Raptors are the biggest frauds in sports.

 

[sabremike]

At the Sixers game tonight the craziest reaction all night was for when a Celtic player missed consecutive free throws in garbage time and everyone won a small Frosty. Basketball fans are weird.

 

[HisIceness]

The Hornets have done that before except it was if a player hit a 3 in the 3rd quarter.

Lakers have this


Love angry Lakers fans

Us Canes fans had the "Fat Trick" make a bunch of news outlets, so I can't really say much.

The Carolina Hurricanes’ ‘Fat Trick’ is the NHL’s tastiest consolation prize

 

[HisIceness]

The Boston Celtics have been eliminated from the playoffs and thats great.

On the other hand, this just proves how much of a joke the Eastern conference is. The Cavaliers were a dysfunctional comedy act the entire season and yet even being the 4th seed, yeah no problem it will take two game 7s but LeBron will just grind the opponent down.

 

[Canes]

Home teams choking hard in game 7 of the Conference Finals is the NBA playoff theme this year.

Another Cavs-Warriors series coming up.

 

[HisIceness]

The 28 other teams should just fold. 4 straight years of the same matchup is hilariously bad.

 

[Brock Anton]

The next NBA CBA needs to completely revamp the salary cap (i.e. a hard cap) or this bullshit is going to continue for the foreseeable future.

All of the luxury tax, mid-level exceptions, Bird rights, Max contracts etc. nonsense needs to go away ASAP.

 

[HisIceness]

Since 2011.

LeBron vs Dallas.
LeBron vs Oklahoma City.
LeBron vs San Antonio twice.
LeBron vs Golden State x4.

At least the Hornets have an excuse that they suck and will never come close to competing with LeBron. Maybe the Sixers will take that next step some day but one of LeBron or Golden State will be in the finals again next year.

LeBron to the Sixers next year. Book it.

In Europe, sports are capitalist and governments are socialist.

Here, government is capitalist and sports are socialist.

The NBA is the healthiest league in sports. The nature of the game is such that two or three stars can completely dominate a league. Leave it alone.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

i don't think any of that stuff matters because whichever team has lebron is making the finals regardless. he dragged an injured kevin love and 8 corpses with awful contracts to the finals.
