The Nuggets may have done nothing to make you want to talk about them over the off-season. If this game proves anything, it proves they had a pretty damn good reason to be "boring."

Spurs 2.0. Only threat to Nuggets over the next few years is the Thunder.

High Seas Links:

Make sure to have uBlock Origins, Privacy Badger, and a great VPN like Mullvad for a flawless sail. Firefox is what I use with all of these plug-ins.

Welcome home boys. This is the LemBA on T.O.R.

Dude is incredible. He's 100% not appreciated enough. Probably the best athlete to ever walk the Earth after Wilt.

[–] ConditionOverload 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Come on, man. LeBron is a fantastic athlete but let's not be so hyperbolic.

[–] secondaccountlemmy 3 points 1 year ago

I mean young Lebron was a freak. He could jump as high as VC but was built like a fucking train. And the dude was FASST. His first step just blew by any defender.

[–] rezz 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

LeBron, my goodness. Strong a finish as ever. Dude is gonna okay until he’s 45 for sure.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is looking like it could be a good finish. Was worried when the Lakers went down like 17 early on.

Cameraman sacrificed so we could get a clean view of Austin Reaves' ass, apparently

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

He's a hero for this.

[–] atp2112 2 points 1 year ago

Now comes the "Who's your daddy" chants.

LA...

Oof.

Wow looks like I missed the party, as I just woke up. Also noticed I messed up the game start time (I wrote 21:30 EST instead of 19:30 EST), probably because of sleepiness.

I’ll try to catch the replay to see the action.

Hey, we had a bot that broke at some point over the offseason and the creator isn't interested in fixing it, do you have any interest in being modded to handle game threads going forward?

[–] rezz 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

Do we have the GitHub of that bot? It worked great the first time. I’ll look into forking it if you can find it.

[–] Hurts 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I think they sent it to me in PMs when I was discussing trying to get it migrated to NFL, let me check and get back to you.

[–] Hurts 2 points 1 year ago

So the mod Barns made/ported the other NBA bot, the bot I was talking with someone about in my DMs was a different bot, but I believe it's one that gets used on Reddit a lot that was ported here and stopped working. The user had it working on my Phillies sub for ~half the summer until it stopped.

The bot is called "redball" and it's on github, I believe this is the link https://github.com/toddrob99/redball

Again, not the same exact bot as far as I'm aware, but it did work well when it was up, I think it was actually quite simply banned for spam posting & possibly not flagging itself as a bot and the owner of the account just got pissed off and didn't want to work on it anymore at least on LW.

Hello head mod, I think @[email protected]’s approach is the best with a single day thread for all the games considering the size of our community :-)

I also found out it’s not as easy running a bot on lemmy

[–] Hurts 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, it seems like a fair approach, if you're up to the task I can mod you so that you can pin them though.

[–] pobautista 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sounds great! I’m definitely up for it :-) Though I would like to coordinate with @[email protected] to avoid any potential double posts, since I really liked his format

[–] Hurts 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Modded you, but yeah if you and rezz want to take the lead on that and figure it out go for it. I sent rezz I reply earlier about another bot that some of my other communities was using before that one also died, but I had to github link so maybe they will be able to figure it out

[–] pobautista 1 points 1 year ago

Awesome, thank you!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Is LeBron the least washed Lakers player?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why do the Lakers forget how to shoot when LeBron is on the bench?

[–] rezz 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Not sure if you ever saw Westbrook MVP season in OKC, but holy F it was like this turned up to 1000.

Our entire bench couldn't handle the ball, and it was basically 5 minutes of turnovers with a -20 +/- until he went back in.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Painful stuff.

All off-season, I've been hearing about how much Braun needs to step up without Brown.

So far, he's stepped up.
