this is a basketball thread

lets all just agree to abandon our respective teams for the rest of the season and be Bucks fans

Always loved the Bucks. I'm pretty bummed out that I couldn't make that Blazers - Bucks game last Saturday. Giannis had the game winning steal, block, and dunk! He is carrying this team on his back and their offensive game plan is pretty static and one-dimensional right now. They are going to need more productivity out of players like Middleton on the wing.

I have tickets to see them play the Lakers in a few weeks. Go Bucks!

DETROIT!

I didn't see them coming this season although I arguably do not follow the stats like you guys so pardon me if this was expected!

Giannis continuing his excellence was expected. The twolves seemed promising and the cavs seemed to have it on lock... but the Pistons? Now they sit on top of the east.

would not be surprised a whiff if the Pistons miss the playoffs this year, they're not very good

it's less than 10 games, guys

Avery Bradley looks better w/o braids imhfo

this must be some kind of insane deep cut or a mistake. Avery Bradley has never had braids??

maybe you're thinking of Avery Braidley

I'm going to need to think about that.

Undo, correct if I'm wrong but you may have confused Avery Bradley with Gerald Green.

I really have them mixed up then for some reason.

This is also the first time I’ve really visited a single moment from the Bulls-Celtics series from like 6 my months ago who or whatever. It is how I imagine most Pink Floyd fans felt after listening to The Endless River.

I mean I haven‘t heard it yet but

if you GIS "Avery Bradley braids", you get mostly pictures of Gerald Green

it's a strange phenomenon

Damn Kyrie! Using that flat earth magic! We just don't understand gravity and physics the way he does...

I am not saying he won’t improve but their were stretches last night against Boston and in other games I’ve watched this season where Lonzo looked so bad it was embarrassing.

gonna go to the pacers @ bulls game tomorrow night. woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I agree nick. His shot may be one of the ugliest things I've ever seen in the NBA.

I love the new Celtics Kyrie Irving. He's brilliant to watch and not on a team I absolutely hate.

Other players that have been awesome to watch this year:
-Ben Simmons
-MVP-level Blake Griffin
-MVP-level DeMarcus Cousins playing point-forward
-The Brooklyn Nets doing Brooklyn Nets things with D'Angelo Russell
-Every Blazers game this year goes down to the wire
-Ricky Rubio's new long-haired look
-Watching the Warriors is my happy place

You forgot about the best player in the history of basketball: Lauri Markkanen.

my list is based on the games that i've watched, which are all Warriors games, Blazers games, or snippets of late games that are on between 6-9pm Pacific, so no Bulls. haven't seen too much Giannis this year even though i know what he's been doing. i've got Cavs-Rockets on now. hatewatching the Cavs is one of my favorite past times.

Markk it down though, that kid is getting on that All Rookie First Team!!

I can't decide on what we should call him. The Markksman? The Finnisher? Magic Markker? Markky Markk?

All I know for sure is that he's fucking Finntastic!

annoying game last night but any loss is a good one for the Warriors this season

gotta build that hunger for the postseason
