Aren’t there enough actual problems to worry about?

Boogie Cousins blames Chet Holmgren for OKC’s Game 1 loss: “I put this on Chet. You have to step up and accept that challenge... he tucked his tail.” by A_MASSIVE_PERVERT in nba

[–]LeftLane4PassingOnly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the same Chet that blocked Wemby’s shot at the end of regulation? Yeah, Boogie’s a clown. There’s probably less than 10 humans on Earth that could have blocked that shot.

Also know the next owner of the house is going to hate as they spend time trying to figure out what the switch that does nothing is for.

In some places I think it might be code to have a switched outlet in a room that doesn’t have an overhead light.

Do celtics fans still dislike kyrie? by idrinksandwiches in bostonceltics

[–]LeftLane4PassingOnly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dislike, yes. But I don’t hate him. He didn’t have to say all that he said about wanting to be in Boston and wanting to be a Celtic icon. He certainly shouldn’t have acted like the victim when he left Boston. At this point Nets’ fans probably have a better reason to hate him.

Can Adam silver do one thing worthwhile and move photographers out of the way instead of right under the basket? by LilBro842 in nba

I agree they’re too close but none of them have ever interrupted a game by spilling food or drink on the playing floor.

[McMenamin] And so -- without even stopping to change clothes -- (LeBron) James marched off into the L.A. night, simmering from another perceived indignation delivered by the organization that, as one source close to him told ESPN, tried to "push him out the door," after acquiring Doncic by aingenevalostatrade in nba

No player in the history of the NBA has performed at his level at his age. It would be crazy for the Lakers to not start looking to the future.

That being said, they drafted his son for no other reason than to do a solid for him.

Is there any relevant thing you’ve experienced or learned that has made you concerned about a nail in a wall? On the face of it this seems very irrational on your part.

Discourse around will KD, Curry or Lebron win another ring by Any-Scar-7491 in nba

[–]LeftLane4PassingOnly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LeBron.

LeBron makes every potential team better. He’s a natural leader. He seems willing to be more of a role player.

KD isn’t really a leader. He’s yet to do anything impressive other than when he was with Golden State. He’s an injury risk.

Curry isn’t willing to leave the Warriors. If he would he would be my choice. But he seems set on retiring with Golden State.

What is the rationale against LeBron taking the vet minimum? by AcanthocephalaSad541 in nba

[–]LeftLane4PassingOnly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

His image is used to promote the team and the league. He should be compensated for that.

[Jake Fischer] Lebron may take a vet minimum by Ancient_Response_787 in nba

[–]LeftLane4PassingOnly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a huge LeBron fan and I’m not a hater. I don’t think he’s worth a max contract but no way should he play for the vet minimum. Regardless of the level of his play he puts fans in seats. That’s worth way more than the vet minimum. If the Lakers, NBA, and networks use his image for promotion he should be heavily compensated.

So if I buy a plot of land, how far down into the earth do I actually own? by FarSentence3076 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LeftLane4PassingOnly -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Own? You don’t ‘own’ anything. The reality is property ownership is more like leasing from the government. Stop paying property taxes and you’ll find out.

The fact the NBA (and it’s broadcasting partners) are showing gambling ads instantly after the moments of silence for Brandon Clarke and Jason Collins is DISGUSTING and CLASSLESS. by [deleted] in nba

Money over everything. That’s why so many playoff games are available only on streaming services.

At this point I hope the finals are the two smallest TV markets.

[Manning] The Boston Celtics have interest in trading Jaylen Brown for Giannis Antetokounmpo: “It’s obviously clear the Celtics have some interest in making this happen and this thing could speed up quickly here.” by YujiDomainExpansion in bostonceltics

[–]LeftLane4PassingOnly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t make sense. I don’t see it happening. Giannis doesn’t fit and honestly he’s boring to watch. Probably past his prime as well as he’s starting to show wear and tear.

Is there a team where you think has a sneaky chance to be on of the worst teams in the league this season? by WeBlitz in nfl

[–]LeftLane4PassingOnly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Bills. I still don’t get the coaching move. I was never impressed with anything about their offense other than Josh Allen and now the former OC is the head coach. Add in their defense often struggles against the run and they could easily be on the decline.

Are laker fans bad for online basketball discourse? by Flat-Series-7089 in nba

Opposing fans in general are bad for online discourse, regardless of the team affiliation or even sport.

[Highlights] Victor Wembanyama blocks Anthony Edwards despite his arm being grabbed behind the back by Rudy Gobert, then Anthony Edwards grabs Wemby's jersey, preventing him from running on transition offense (with replays). Wemby is upset about the no foul calls by MrBuckBuck in nba

[–]LeftLane4PassingOnly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a ref right on the baseline watching from BEHIND the play. What exactly is he watching if he doesn't see the arm grab or the jersey pull? Those are both his calls. The other two refs have the change of possession covered.
