NBA 2014-2015 Season Discussion Thread

Looks like Dwight Howard will be back soon. I'm curious to see how this impacts James Harden.

My Blazers haven't been doing so hot. I don't want to talk about it. I'm kind of depressed about the whole thing. We're just so beaten up.

 

Yay, Blazers broke their 5-game losing streak with a win over Utah.

And this cracked me up: Streamable - simple video sharing Joakim Noah is open!

 

I saw that too. I love Noah, dude's energy seems limitless.

 

I love his man-bun.

 

You know what I find most remarkable about him?


The dude is hideous looking. I love him, and as a straight dude I'm not the best judge, but the dude is ugly. Like, in the same way a pug or bulldog is so ugly that they are lovable.

BUT, have you seen his sister? She is gorgeous. Like, you wouldn't be able to help doing a double take if she walked by.

And they look almost EXACTLY the same. Feature for feature, if you look at them, they match. It's the first time I've ever seen an ugly dude make a beautiful woman.

Blows my mind.


Here is his sister, his mom, and Noah.

 

I don't think he's ugly at all.

 

I'm being a little dramatic. But he's not exactly the mainstream definition of handsome like Tom Brady or Derek Jeter.

 

But he looks so excited in that picture that it's adorable!

Bear in mind that when it comes to the NBA, I'm attracted to guys like Robin Lopez, Pau Gasol, and Dirk Nowitzki.

 

Same reason a Bulldog is cute.

Or better yet, a Bullmastiff.

Trust me, there are few bigger fans of Noah than this guy.

Just got invited to an AmEx sponsored presale for Bulls playoff tickets.

Looks like I'm going to the first home game. Row 5, lower level (which is behind the floor seats, so not really 5th row from court), center section behind the basket.



Then, if they make it to the second round, I have seats at midcourt, Row B, right behind courtside.

 

Sitting so close is fun. I still need to post pics from sitting beneath the basket at the Blazers-Grizzlies a few weeks ago. Ruined for life.

 

Yeah, I've had Row B once before, and sat about 5 rows back under the basket before.

The main thing on this one is the cost. I may track what tix are going for on StubHub, downgrade my seats, and pocket some cash. Especially for those second round games. Based on StubHub pricing for the same section/row as my seats, I could profit a couple grand just by selling them, IF the Bulls make it that far. We'll see, I have a couple weeks to figure it out.

 

Durant done for the season.

 

Sucks for Oklahoma.

 

Craig Sager's leukemia is back.

 

I love Craig Sager, and his suits. This makes me so sad. He has very young children, too.

 

I personally will be surprised if the Hawks win it all. But I do believe they've put the pieces in place to be competitive for the next few years. They've done a nice job, and I think it's a sustainable system.

 

I'm unsure who we'll have left to play in the playoffs at the rate the injuries are piling up for the Blazers. Sigh.
