The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

Can someone explain to me how this will work? Seems like this would be a conflict of interest in some situations, especially with the amount of player movement going on. Imagine you play for the Charlotte hornets but you are financially invested in The team you were just traded from, the San Antonio Spurs. Does this create a massive conflict of interest? You play for one team yet you are financially invested in another team in the same league.



Brah..the sports betting thing is what caught my eye.

NBA is blatantly going pure entertainment

And folks (not in here) had the audacity to hype this up as “Kawhi will play in a back-to-back tonight!” as if he didn’t sit out in the second half of the first game to load manage :smh:
 
Russ will always turn the ball over and miss layups at the worst possible time. Like clockwork
 
Y’all keep thinking players don’t care about betting. It’s too mainstream now. Some players cousin cousin gonna make dough
 
russell westbrook being great tonight
shame on anyone attempting to dismantle his contribution to the game of basketball
so you are saying it's this guy's fault?

One week to go in the season and basically nothing is completely settled in the West except for the Rockets, Blazers and Spurs being eliminated from post-season play. Crazy.
 
I think people exaggerate the degree to which the sport has become "positionless".

it's positionless on offense yes but positions on defense still matter, especially in the regular season.


The raptors have tried this positionless all 6-9 nonesense and you see how that's turned out.
centers have a real function that matters in the regular season. same goes for wings and guards.
Positionless in the sense that there are guards, wings and bigs. Just because the Raptors have a bunch of guys that don’t do any of the things well enough doesn’t change that :lol:. There’s just no point in labels with the traditional positions that we grew up labeling guys is all it means.
 


Chuck definitely got a nice lil bag off that shot :lol:

Funny how like half the comments to that tweet are like “Glad to see Chuck still has love for the game!” Him and Shaq don’t even watch NBA games outside of the studio to stay current for their jobs :lol:
 
Not sure where you got that Statmuse is saying 7-11 when Kyrie plays, including last nights game
4-10 when when Kyrie and Luka play together
3-1 when Kyrie plays without Luka

I would say the pairing is more of the problem than just Kyrie himself. Context matters.
Check Kyrie's ESPN game logs. Its 7-12
 
Shout out to the pelicans. I was at their play in last year against LAC, the arena is trash but the fans are real and pop out for their team. City still got the best shrimp and grits and gumbo and it’s not even close. Miss me with all them French names tho.
 
Kawhii going to see San Diego St on Monday night or will he be load managing? At least for the first half of the game.
