this is a basketball thread

I think the D Rose era is over.

I was really bummed to hear this news. Brother can't catch a break. Sucks.

That Cleveland vs San Antonio game last night was something else.

Did Lil B actually curse KD? Like, for real. Not just for show.

Fuck March Madness. NCAA basketball is unwatchable

Other than reasons of gambling I can't fathom sitting through a full college kids basketball game.

These first round games have sucked. Aside from Clips vs Spurs of course.

I was right about rondo. Hes an awful overrated scrub

I remember on the old board a bunch of dudes were like "no man rondo is great. KG, Paul Pierce and Ray have nothing to with his success" but I knew what was up. Dude is barely nba level

I wonder what else time will establish I was right about? People who act like they're super political being more full of it than politicians themselves, the existence of God, Green Bay being the all time great fraud franchise in sports

Anyways, I'm targeting my crosshairs on Kyrie Irving now. He's just a more fortunate Brandon Jennings

Remember when you got excited about Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall because you thought they'd lead Chicago to a Super Bowl?

Remember when you said "Derrick Rose will be a transcendent NBA player" and then it turned out he actually doesn't even like playing basketball?

Derrick just has bad luck

The fact you're even saying he doesn't like basketball shows how little you know

He's the youngest nba MVP ever!

theres still time for cutler!

Youngest MVP ever without a championship and homie is content to pack it in

Joakim Noah is a legitimately terrible basketball player and we win either of the last two games if Nazr Mohammed plays even five minutes in his stead.

This is what I get for growing up in the 90s, nothing that good comes without a price.

If it weren't for Lebron James, Derrick Rose could have been the next Isiah Thomas. At this point he seems destined to be the John Starks on what's probably going to be the 2010's version of the 90's Knicks.

Could not possibly agree more. Sad, yes, but true.

Those are all uncreative and pessimistic cliches, just super frustrated after yesterday.

I dunno, man. Noah really has been abominable. A few moments, here and there, but you put me into an NBA game and I'll accidentally do something right, too, at some point.

Go Bulls, though. For real. I did and do think the Cavs will win, but I love being wrong. Very amped for this game, tonight. Pessimistic, but amped. Fuck Cleveland.
