Board 8 > NBA Discussion Topic: We're Back!

(+) Yeah! (+)

October basketball yeah, about right
---

There have only been about two or three teams who actually looked fully prepared for the season to start.
---

Kyrie and Rozier pairing *erection*
---

Kawhi seems pretty good at this
---

Solid finish to this Raptors/Celtics game.

Clearly this win in the first week of the season means they're going to the finals.
---

Kings cant play defense and almost gave up 150

but we score 120 and looked good on offense in both games. Fox is also looking like a real star in the making too

Lots to get excited for, just need it to turn into wins
---

Really impressed by how good the Pelicans have looked to start the season. Nikola Mirotic, holy hell.
---

Elfrid Payton was a great pick up. He will be a great fit and grow a lot there
---

We can all agree that Anthony Davis is now the greatest basketball player in the world right?
---

enjoyed Butler getting booed by his own fans all night

Mirotic is the greatest player of all time tho

This Golden State game is absolutely ridiculous. For a stretch of like 4 minutes, both teams made 3s or 3 point plays back and forth.

There is almost 150 points in this first half. 81-68... Not even counting a halftime 3/4 court shot made that was after the buzzer.

This is stupidly insane.

I'm watching my Thunder. Started off down 16-0 but we got the lead now.

Need to win this one since it looks like Russ coming back on Sunday (sorry Scurr/Tran)

In excited! Kings have been putting up points, and Thunder look like a better team than last year. Shroder is a good point guard, interesting to see how things work out with him and Russ at the same time. I think with or without Russ it will be interesting.

But kings schedule

Opened at home against Utah
Today in NO for Pelicans home opener
Sunday in OKC for THEIR home opener
Then to Denver
Then home for Memphis and Washington

like these dudes are getting baptism by fire

You mean before they chanted MVP at him?

Honestly, the man deserves to be booed. He played a good game tonight regardless of that.

jerebko game winning tip in?

like 16th guy on the roster

fucking warriors man hahahaha

Jazz suck

Man I hate how they bring gender into everything nowadays

I see a WNBA player is griping on twitter saying the 125k salary is more than the max in the WNBA so can WNBA players play in the G-league. Now I know the majority of the G-league are paid 35k and this 125k will apply to extremely few players who will be only there for 1 year. So I looked up WNBA salaries, their average salary is 75k with a max of 115k.

So basically this WNBA star is griping about not being able to play in the G-league despite WNBA players earning over double what most G-league players earn and a very select few players G-league players now being able to earn 10k more than the max in the WNBA.

It's like sure you can play in the G-league but for a G-league salary not a draft lotto one and done salary

I see no problem with letting women play in the g-league. That said who wants to waste money on them? They're never going to develop into NBA players

The worst G league team would absolutely massacre the WNBA champions

Possibly the worst division 1 ncaa team would massacre them.
---

Right I also have no problem with them playing in the G league but it would be actively detrimental to their salary and they are trying to argue the reverse based on the extremely few players who will be getting that 125k

I think the most elite women could find roles in nba teams but it would need to be as point guards

They have good fundamentals and a good streak of fundamental basketball is good to watch peppered into high play, but it's not drawing eyes
---

What world do you live in, Scare
---

Which statement?

That an elite woman could play pointguard?
---

no woman should play point guard in the nba. that's like a very athletic position more than we realize.
---

I think the size of a woman would limit her at any other position even more though

If a woman were to play in the NBA what would be her most likey position then?
---

Pistons @ Bulls let's make it two in a row

Got him in the last round of my fantasy draft

Definitely making up for getting goose eggs from Kris Dunn

Screwed around and threw five bucks at a 5 teamer that sounded not too shabby today

Rockets. boston, 76s, toronto, twolves

Worried about spread on boston and philly but lets see whats up

There isn't a single woman who could play point guard in Div 1 basketball, let alone the NBA. You are losing it.

Water girl.

I am so confused that you watch basketball and can't tell that women would literally not be able to even get on the court against men.

Dude, a good many of men's high school basketball teams would beat UCONN women by 50 or more per game.

I didnt say Jane Smith

I said elite

Think of the best Women's players you can think of.

They wouldn't play in Division 1 mens if they tried out.
---

Like the gulf in athleticism isn't their fault.

It's just how the world works.

I still think Menji and his buddies could take a WNBA team.
---

I'm just going to concede my point. I definitely don't watch women's basketball to any extent to support even a legendary once in a life time player in the future

I'll take my dunce hat and be on my way

I don't know, the lady my team beat in a pick-up game only lasted one year in the WNBA.
---

Pistons only shooting 34% but have shot 22 free throws to have a 60-58 lead at halftime
---

Raptors don't even need Kawhi to beat the Wizards.
---

LeBron soon.
---

Man, we almost stole that from the 76ers and probably should have done. Shot a 3 when 1 point down for the final shot instead of driving it in when it was clear

Bulls fail on the final play Pistons win 118-116

Blake Griffin is one of the best players I've seen put on a Pistons uniform.

Too bad his teammates suck.
