My point exactly.

You’ve been here two months, only visit basketball, yet you are the expert of how BO affects the card market.

This is a worse take than your Ben Simmons is the second greatest defensive guard of all time take.

Like I said it's proper english. You're the one that said I was wrong about it being proper english. If you were uncertain and basing that off of a simple google you shouldn't have said I was wrong, of course I am going to show you the real definition. English is something I excel at. Anyways. Moving on.

I am starting to think some people here might be low IQ. I said "I don't think BO has any effect on the card market but prove me wrong I might be wrong." And said "IDK if people are that stupid" multiple times. Yeah that is seriously claiming to be an expert. Why don't you create some more non-existent arguments and argue against them?

You win, man.

I’ve never encountered anyone on BO so good at being a dick while also seeming so harmless.

Law school does that to you, I'm sorry.

KhalDrogo · 12-08-2019, 11:02 PM

Oh man this is too good!

tjforce · 12-08-2019, 11:26 PM

Anyways.....

AD going off. 42 points through 3 quarters

tjforce · 12-08-2019, 11:50 PM

Good lord LeBron..... just ending it.

Lol....

as long as he's 6'8", 260 lbs, and run up and down the court, with his elite passing skills, he'll do just fine.

rhigh2390 · 12-09-2019, 12:04 AM

Golly it must be nice to have AD. I don't see how any team beats the Lakers 4 out of 7.

And I will say... it's weird seeing someone not named lebron leading a team in almost every category that lebron is on.

Ad and Lebron are a match made in basketball heaven

If LeBron manages to lose the title this season it will be his greatest chokejob yet.

If he’s not the best on the team how is it his to lose and choke it away? Lebron is just a role player now, it’s AD's team right.

Lakers clicking really well but I still think they need more firepower for the clips second unit.

You could be right, but I'd be worried there's nobody to stop AD unless Kawhi can. PG on LeBron.

Wolves4Life · 12-09-2019, 07:15 AM

Lakers are a good team but they are not 142 points good. Wolves D continues to be absolutely crap.I know this is the no defense league now but come on.

Agreed.

brothertona · 12-09-2019, 07:40 AM

I will say a motivated Lebron is the rest of leagues worst nightmare and right now he is completely locked in. I don't think he has had more fun since Miami and this is clearly his best team. I think the biggest plus for the rest of the league is that the Lakers can't really pick up anyone unless they get them for the minimum. They also can't trade their pick until the draft.

I was just saying this to a friend this morning, that LeBron looks like he's having so much fun out there. He never looked like he was having even close to this much fun in his second stint in Cleveland or last year in LA. He is really locked in right now and is playing some of the best basketball of his career, which is crazy for Year 17. He's not as lazy on defense like he was last year and he's leading the league in assists, all while still scoring at a high rate. And with AD out there, he doesn't have to carry the offensive load like he used to.

My only concern is, can they keep this up? The regular season is looooong and they need to find a way to make sure they stay healthy and fresh for the postseason. I think injuries are the only thing that can stop them right now.

Warriors dropped from two national TV games while local ratings plummet

Quote:

The five-time, reigning, defending Western Conference champion Golden State Warriors are off to their worst season start since the P.J. Carlesimo days, trudging through a painfully slow rebuilding season.

And according to several sources, the NBA is taking steps to shield the nation from watching this terrible basketball.

At the bottom of that tweet from Sports Business Daily (you may have to click to expand it), it states, “Without Steph Curry, Klay Thompson or Kevin Durant, ratings for Warriors game are down 51% on NBC Sports Bay Area”.

HALF of Golden State’s home viewership has plummeted? Now I know that it’s a combination of an overall trend of NBA viewership dropping, combined with the team’s awful play this season. But still, that’s a drastic drop.

There’s only one way to salvage the ratings: bring back the “It’s a Great Time Out!” ad campaign from franchise’s dark days during the early-2000s.

51% drop is nothing compared to the drop in Warriors fan boys that have disappeared from Blowout in the last 6 months.

Like I said, they are gonna have to scrape the bargain bin and hope they find a gem as they have no real assets to move except for Kuzma

Two things...

1. I'm not sure they need a whole lot more help, assuming they stay healthy.
2. They should be a top destination of some free agents on the buyout market.
