The 2023 / 2024 NBA Basketball Season Thread

Raptors season opener tonight, going to head to Scotiabank Arena in person to watch it since my partner scored Gondola suite tickets from her company. Free food and drinks :bang:

Gondola suite seats with all you can eat food and drinks. Was a great home opener with a hard fought W down to the wire.
I would’ve destroyed that popcorn, nice man.

Lets see the last time I went to an NBA game in person was Rockets we sat court side two rows up my best friends dad had the hook up, Charles Barkley was on the team he came over during shoot arounds and shot the s*** with us, and I got Kenny Smiths autograph after the game as he walked by he said to someone else that he was starting at TNT. Was the coolest night ever as a early teen lol.

My partner did lol.

They also had all you can eat hot dogs, korean fried chicken, jerk jamaican chicken, pizza, rice, sushi, all you can drink soda. The marketing director gave us 4 alcoholic drink vouchers as well. To finish it off, they gave us haagen daaz popsicle ice cream and a creamy dessert in a cup.

That’s freaking awesome! Good food drinks and alcohol very nice.
 

You might have seen this on ESPN. Its spin the wheel and pick a random NBA team and pick your player off it. You cannot spin again until you have made your pick.

Your team plays this year only and there is no point picking players for the future.

Honor system applies. One spin each time only. Can't pick from same team twice though, so spin again if it happens. After the couple pages or so entries maybe we can pick the top 5.

Spin link. List the Spin number with your pick.

This was my spin:

1. Steph Curry PG GSW
2. Paolo Banchero PF Magic
3. Dejounte Murray SG Hawks
4. Jayson Tatum SF/PF Celtics
5. Domantas Sabonis PF/C

Not bad, got shooting, 2 superstars, a up and coming rook, solid 2 , 4 starters that can handle the ball and a slightly washed C to defend the paint haha.

OG's value increases after this KD deal. Let us see if anyone comes up to our ask ...

 
Big moves this year. Another team cancer is gone. Seems everyone from the Thunder is a cancer to teams.

I read that could put them over the luxury tax so with that owner its not going to happen
Don’t know what the vet min is now for someone with his accolades, but they could release someone or trade for picks and it could be possible. They’re not going anywhere this year and I’m the end won’t really matter.
 
There was faint rumors of D Rose heading back to the Bulls. I want him to retire in a Bulls jersey. Well, that didn’t happen, and they did their customary s*** of not doing a damn thing at the trade deadline.
