The Real 2014-15 NBA Regular Season Thread

[cruzg24]

He said yesterday that Brad Stevens was a top 5 coach in the NBA too lol
Dude is the biggest homer

Yea I heard that, lol. I do like when he has conversations about players body language and when he feels teammates dont get along. His ASG podcast was seriously amazing and so much fun to listen to.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I don't like him and I HATE Jalen Rose. He's absolutely terrible. So yeah I don't listen to any of the Grantland stuff

 

[elcheato]

Bill Simmons is the worst

 

[bosoxlover12]

Bill Simmons is great. You just can't take him that seriously. He's a Celtics fan on TV, thats all.

 

[elcheato]

He's a Boston fan everywhere, not just TV. It's all over his writing, his opinions. It influences it greatly.

 

[bosoxlover12]

.....and?

 

[elcheato]

He's annoying is what I'm getting at. Obviously you like him because he's a fan of Boston sports.

 

[elcheato]

He also doesn't know anything about modern day basketball. Great historian and story teller, but doesn't know what's going on anymore

yeah, because Cleveland sports is far from annoying


"WE DESERVE EVERYTHING BECAUSE CLEVELAND"

Every fan base has its annoying features.

If Simmons wasn't there, you wouldn't hear about anything Celtics. All teams should be represented in the public media; not our fault that you guys don't

 

[CameronCrazy06]

That post above mine made so little sense I didn't even deem it worthy of the quote button.
 
Simmons sucks though. The whole point of being a good sports journalist/broadcaster/whatever is to remove your biases from your work. Simmons clearly can't do that

what does Cleveland have anything to do with this? Simmons is a national presence with tremendous clout. Biases shouldn't exist or at least be purposely visible like he makes it for media presences of that stature. Hes no better than Skip Bayless.

This has nothing to do with fan bases. This has to do with a Celtics fan disguising himself as a national journalist

 

[CameronCrazy06]

This isn't necessarily relevant to the conversation, though I guess it is sort of, but New England sports fans really don't know how well they have it. One of my friends from New Hampshire was telling me one time last year how they've gone through so much heartache recently when all 4 of their major sports teams have won a title within the past seven years haha. They're spoiled rotten up there.

 

[Pugz]

cleveland and detroit fans have it tough

 

[Hurricane Season]

bitch, you've seen at least one of your teams win a title.

 

[Mexi]

At least they traded for Afflalo

it helps
But now they have no bench again

No wesley
No trob
No barton

Thomas Robinson sucks
 
Would you rather have Barton or Afflalo? Did Barton do anything in Portland?

 

[Mexi]

Energy guy
Hes better than crabbe

 

[Mexi]

Hmmm
So while russell's doing his stat gunning his team has been meh

Lost to phx, portland, without they beat the juggernaut lakers, went ot with philly while russ has a monster game, and lose again last night to etwan moore

 

[elcheato]

I look at the Browns as more of a stand up routine now than a professional sports team
 
I'm satisfied now with the Cavs being a contender and the Indians seemingly being in the mix. 

 

[BwareDWare94]

How does Portland survive the loss of Matthews? I honestly can't see it.
