NBA

Sorry for missing some threads gang. I've been walloped by the flu like MJ.

Back in the saddle!

Comparing, visually, today’s modern NBA broadcast and the way things were shot 20-30 years ago; I believe that today’s visual presentation of the league is bland to watch and too brightly lit. I think this takes away from the game a bit because it feels less like the games carry less weight. This is probably a dumb take, but I think the games would look better if you could barely see the crowd and the lighting was more dramatic.

Thoughts?

The Phoenix Suns are trading their 2031 unprotected first to the Utah Jazz for three first-round picks, sources tell ESPN. The Suns are acquiring the least favorable firsts in 2025 of Cleveland/Minnesota, 2027 of Cleveland/Minnesota/Utah and 2029 of Cleveland/Minnesota/Utah.

Current vote totals

🤣

For the curious, the largest margin of victory ever in an NBA game was 73 points, when the Memphis Grizzlies defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 152–79 on December 2, 2021.

This was a 59 point margin of victory, setting a new franchise record for both the Clippers and the Nets.

Good article on how much a steal Westbrook has been for the Nuggets this season.

Also interesting:

Against the Nets, Westbrook recorded his own triple-double, scoring 25 points while grabbing 11 rebounds and handing out 10 assists. He and Jokić became the first duo in NBA history to record a 25-point triple-double in the same regular-season game.
