NBA Regular Season thread: Tank for Cooper Flagg Initiated

Bob Myers was doing this during the Warriors/OKC game last night.

It seems like every franchise is in the same boat. No integrity whatsoever.

Another thing that's frustrating me as an NBA fan is the degree of "homerism" the commentators all seem to exhibit these days. Surely they are instructed to be this way, as the vast majority of people tuning in are doing so as fans of the home team telecast, but as someone that watches a lot of games of teams I'm not die hard fans of, it's gotten to the point of absurdity. The interpretations of what's a foul and what isn't, or what's a technical and what isn't, just reaches comical levels these days. The pom-poms are too extreme; silly catch phrases and cheerleading; it's like every commentator wants to glaze everything their home team players do like Collingsworth does with Mahomo.

This is what happens when everythings on a local network. Theres really nothing you can do about it. Their main audience is people in that market who don't really care about the other teams and are just following the home team because they are the home team.

Look at the reaction of the crowd and Lebron and the Lakers bench.

Sabonis will never get his proper due in the NBA, which is pretty tragic. He's twice been all NBA (third team) yet never been an all-star. There is hardly enough appetite for one "boring" euro center on a small market team, let alone going down the pecking order to a number 2. NBA = Sports Entertainment.

Yep, Sabonis snubbed again from the All-Star game.

NBA is a garage league.

Hasn't it always been that way? I remember watching the Hornets way back with Mike Gminski and some other local guy calling it. Sure, they were biased and of course they had a lot more insight and info on the Hornets than the other team.

No, it's real.

The Lucuck/bronny dynasty begins now

 

[heavyarms21]

Holy Shit , legitimately most unexpected trade ever

 

[Jonathan Utah]

No, it's real.

That’s a horrible return for Luka. Was the
Mavs GM on the perkys before he made that?

 

[Substance Abuse]

No, it's real.

What in the holy fuck?

 

[INeedARemedy]

What in the motherfucking shit

 

[Jonathan Utah]

AD is almost 32 and is injury prone, how does he land Luka Doncic?

 

[Jonathan Utah]

Luka had to have forced this.

 

[INeedARemedy]

There's no way it's real. It'd be the most absurd trade of all time.

This is good for the Lakers to sell players on in the long run, but short term this isn't good. Maybe I'm wrong? I'm so damn tired, lol.

 

[Marce Porter]

Luka the Don to the Fakers! that breaks my heart. What are the Mavs thinking?! Antonio Davis is always hurt and is several years older

Sources: Mavs trading Luka to Lakers for AD, pick

The Dallas Mavericks are trading Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis and a 2029 first-round pick, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania.

If it is, this was forced by Luka.
