Basketball 2021-2022 NBA Season 🏀

[RareForm]

Predictions, news, analysis. Discuss the upcoming NBA season.

I experienced the majority of the past few seasons through the lens of Fantasy Basketball, and I expect that will continue for this year.

My only prediction is that my team, the Wizards, are gonna suck like always ://///

You do fantasy basketball? I've done it one year before, but kinda got sidetracked and lost interest with it. I did enjoy what time I put into it though.

If people are into it, we could start a Bluelight fantasy basketball league too.

I didn't know you were into the NBA. Sweet.

Hornets got beat like 120-59 or something in their last preseason game.

Starting out great.

Yes, I'm a Lakers fan, but I was a bit loath to mention that in the initial post because I know the ire that can bring.

It's so strange; the Hornets have a nest full of talent. At least Devonte' Graham and his horrible shooting percentage are elsewhere. Silver linings?

 

[mal3volent]

Lakers are one of my teams too @Mysterier . Gotta support my boy AD.

 

[mal3volent]

Charlotte and Miami tonight, my two favorite teams. Best offense vs best defense. I'd love to see them both deep in the playoffs next year.

 

[RareForm]

That would be awesome, actually. Especially Charlotte.

 

[mal3volent]

Yeah we have waited long enough. It's our time to make a run.

 

[RareForm]

My other team is the Hawks, so I definitely understand.

Staples Center to get new name in rich rights deal

Staples Center will become Crypto.com Arena, in what's believed to be the richest naming rights deal in sports history.

thoughts @Mysterier ?

doesn't quite roll off the tongue does it?

 

[RareForm]

It makes me feel like my insides want to be on my outside.

God damn you, Gordon Gekko.

 

[RareForm]

I can't read his name without hearing the melody to "Born on the Bayou."

"Baaaam Adebayoooo"

God damn at the number of COVID-related reasons for players being out across the league.

I'm getting a bad feeling about how the rest of this season is going to play out.

 

[mal3volent]

Eastern conference is super competitive this year. Hornets doing well but they need to continue improving. They're right there in the middle and could shift way up or way down.

Lakers are in a free fall it seems.

 

[RareForm]

Miles Bridges is coming into his own, for sure.

The Lakers are breaking my heart. I know the popular thing to do is blame it on Russell W., but I have never liked him much.

 

[mal3volent]

Nice win last night @Mysterier ... too bad about AD though. Dude is so fuckin unlucky with injuries.

 

[RareForm]

These "super teams" have truly encroached upon my genuine appreciation and fandom.

I wouldn't be sad if Lebron, AD, and RW were all released tomorrow.

Note: I do like AD. I don't care for LBJ or RW, though.

Same! I like Monk and Reaves too.
