Re: NBA 24/25
400 year old LeBron James is shooting a career high 3pt fg% this season. Just crazy.

Re: NBA 24/25
Gutter's 5 worthless thoughts for 11/21/24
1. If someone told me a team that would be starting Lindy Waters III and Trayce Jackson Davis for multiple games would be 11-3, I would tell them they are nuts.
2. If someone told me the Cleveland Cavs would be 16-1, I would tell them they are nuts.
3. Before the season started, if someone told me that on 11/21/24 the Magic would be in the 4th spot, the Pistons would be in the 6th spot, the Bucks would be in the 10th spot, and the 76ers would be in the 15th spot, I would tell them they are nuts.
4. There are only 6 teams that are more than 3 games over .500.
There are only 7 teams who are more than 3 games under .500
If the regular season ended today, the 6ers would not be in the playoffs and the Mavs would not be in the playoffs. What odds could/would I have gotten on that before the season started?
5. Either one or two games in to the season I bet a two team final record parlay to pay +234
Warriors > 43.5
Lakers > 42.5
Warriors are currently 11-3
Lakers are currently 10-4
I wish there was a way I could bet that I will get GUTTERED

Re: NBA 24/25
The simple answer. Many fans just don't like the players or play style anymore
The players, particularly the stars, are a big group of spoiled, entitled, whiny, pompous, overpaid, sensitive little crybabies who are out of touch with reality. They can't relate to the average American anymore.
The effort level on a nightly basis is too low. The defense sucks. The ball movement sucks. There's too much isolation basketball and chucking up of bad shots. A lot of star players are not very coachable. There is no reason the best players in the world should be giving us the worst version of basketball.
I'm a big nba fan, and I refuse to watch regular season games. Nba playoffs feel like a different sport than regular season

Re: NBA 24/25
I think the good teams play hard almost every night. Sure, it's fall/winter, so teams have guys sick. And the schedule is crazy with the back to backs and what not. But as someone who watches a lot of NBA, I don't see the lack of effort narrative being all that true on the team level. Maybe on some more select indivudal level. Obviously, there are exceptions.

dude isn’t right
Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

Re: NBA 24/25
As I said to multiple co-workers yesterday after one of them said someone else is crazy - "Everybody is crazy, just to different degrees". Is that not true?
Or did you mean "isn't right" in regard/s to his physical well being? If so, I would probably agree and I might respond, "Everybody has physical ailments, just to different degrees".

Dude is only 30 and it seems he's sick and tired of being an NBA player right now. For multiple legitimate reasons.
But hey, stay tuned and TTP!

He seemed to love playing in the Olympics. But winning is easy.
