NBA2K: Dead Rapist Helicopter Adventure edition

[Porch Honky]

Wash/Gafford/new kid/World B Flat/Luka is a solid 2nd round Western team.

[krujones]

I legit forgot Doug McDermott was still in the league

[dmk]

Kinda meh day for the Raptors. Cleared tons of cap space for this summer, but it likely won't be used outside of a Quickley extension. I dunno why the hell Bruce Brown is still on this team as well.

Really don't get the Pacers trading away Buddy Hield either. You're trading away your best 3pt shooter in the middle of a playoff run for some 2nds? Thank Jah the Raptors have their pick this year.

[itii]

Rockets not doing anything is dumb.

[dmk]

Dinwiddie is already on the Buyout market lol. Probably saw Canada's crypto laws and refused to go on the plane.

Pelicans almost acquired Murray but the Hawks wanted Herb Jones in the deal. Glad they didn’t pull the trigger on that trade. I just don’t understand the appeal of Murray as a high trade asset.

[Porch Honky]

Murray defense is bad this year supposedly but normally and during his Spurs tenure he was a STUD in that department.

And he was an occasional triple d playmaker on top of it.

It wouldn't be the worst move for New Orleans to get him, but I also would not have given then Herb to do it.

Curry trying to break Klay's 14 3s in a game rn. Has 8 through halftime in 9 attempts lol

[xnate☭hatex]

AK really thinks Lonzo is coming back and going to fix this team LMAO

[Porch Honky]

That's fucked up.

[lobsterdog]

they will still lose in the 2nd round

[stephanie]

i'm okay with that outcome, i'm just happy to watch a team that's above .500

[Percussionist Foster Grant]

I personally like the NBA better when the Knicks are competitive. Any competitiveness is good. It's better than one team in the west and 1-2 teams in the east every year, and one of them always features LeBron.

[dmk]

Knicks kinda remind me of what the Raptors were pre-Kawhi trade. So all they need to do now is fire Thibs for a smart coach and find a robot who can hoop.

[Avoidance Learning]

Pajamas to the Mavs is crazy I missed that earlier

Rather a disillusioned Knicks fan than a happy Celtics fan. At least the Knicks fan base is less likely to be racist.

[lobsterdog]

not my problem

[Percussionist Foster Grant]

It's just Boston that's racist, it's not inherently the Celtics organization/worldwide fan base lol.

[Avoidance Learning]

Look, let's be honest, the Knicks are doing okay in FEBRUARY lol. It's very early and every time they play anyone remotely good they get blasted out of the arena.

Boston, Oct 25 L
NOLA Oct 28, L
Milwuakee Nov 3, L
Boston Nov 13, L
Minnesota Nov 20, L
PHX Nov 26, L
Milwaukee Dec 5, L
Boston Dec 8, L
Utah Dec 13, L
LAC, Dec 16, L
Milwuakee, Dec 25, L
OKC, Dec 27, L
Indiana, Dec 30, L
Dallas, Jan 11, L
LAL, Feb 3, L
Dallas, last night, L

[Avoidance Learning]

That Utah L in particular jumps at the eye lol, they just whipped OKC's ass too

[Percussionist Foster Grant]

Yeah, I like Brunson but there's a whooooooole lot of fuckery going on rn with his reputation. They haven't done anything yet and there are folks already anointing him better than guys like Lillard, Tatum, etc.

[Deleted]

This has always been the case with the Knicks. The media here, and by proxy the national sports media, will always try to elevate them. The way people talk about the 90s Knicks you would have thought they were a dynasty but in reality they were like just fine.

[Avoidance Learning]

All I'm saying is there's still a lot of season to fall back down to earth. I don't wish pain or failure upon resident Knicks poster Steph.

[FEMA Sniper]

Jonathan Kuminga shitting on Steve Kerr saving the Warriors season lol.

Andrew Joseph of USA Today noted MLB and Nike agreed to a 10-year deal in 2020, which is the same year Nike licensed its production to Fanatics. Yet there appear to be significant changes in this year's approach:

www.fanaticsinc.com/global-vertical-brands

Fanatics and Nike hold a unique relationship unlike any other in the licensed sports industry. Under the arrangement, Fanatics manufactures and distributes all Nike-branded fan apparel sold at retail for the NFL and MLB, Nike’s top college partners (beginning in 2024), and the Tokyo Giants. Through close collaboration, Fanatics ensures the paramount Nike brand standards in every piece of apparel that is made available to fans and retailers. Fanatics produces the Nike-branded on-field player uniforms for MLB and the Giants, and Nike manufactures the performance and on-field products for players and coaches for NFL and NCAA.

looks like i won't be buying anything from the nfl / mlb for a while
