2016-2017 NBA Season Thread [ARCHIVED] Basketball • Page 92

7 HOURS.

heading downtown to watch the game at Kieran's pub

 

These shirts are pretty fun. Homage is pretty popular in Columbus and Cinci. Starting to pickup elsewhere too. Cleveland is now getting a prescence. They have official league licenses to legitimately do these shirts, which is cool. My friend's printing company does a lot their work. They are good people. Homage has picked up a lot of people from the Limited brands (A&F, Victoria's Secret, etc) since they are Columbus based as well to really take the company to the next level.

 

Bummed I'll miss a bit or all of the Lakers game tonight. I'm really curious to see the Dwight-less Rockets.

 

I love the company. Finally made it to one of their stores when I was in Cleveland earlier this year. Got my free coke, free NBA Jam sesh. Best company and customer service. Trying to promote them as much as possible. Also own way too many of their clothes.

 

*raises hand*

 

Mishka has something like that here, they have a bunch of old cool arcade games and occasionally give out stuff. Its far as hell by train though so I haven't been in forever.

 

I actually expected the Cavs to lose just due to all the emotion tied with the ring ceremony, banner raise and everything that is going on in Cleveland. Similar to how they lost the opener in 2014 the night LeBron came back and the city partied all day like we had one a championship already.

Boy was I wrong.

Haha nice! What's the free Coke thing? Which store did you go to? Westlake?

When I was at my friend's print shop last week in Columbus he was showing me the prints for some of these shirts. They were running test shirts before they printed the homage stuff. They do a lot of fun stuff.

I really wanted to get an Ultimate Warrior shirt, but never got around to it.

 

Yeah the one in Crocker Park. You can ask for a coke in any of their stores and they'll give you a free bottled coke.

 

I'm excited to watch a lot of the young players tonight. Bucks, Timberwolves, Lakers and Nuggets all have really interesting young cores that should be fun this year.

 

Wow. I Know Curry is being paid unders on his old contract. But wouldn't thought GSW would be in that pool of 18

 

schroeder got paid

 

Yep, that Nuggets roster is interesting. Where does Gallinari fit it, does Mudiay leap, can Nurkic & Jokic function in the same lineup, etc. It's sort of a shame they will get buried in the west.

 

They're highly likely gonna trade nurkic at some point, their beat writer constantly talks about different trades for him that they should explore.

 

Jokic and Nurkic could work since Jokic can spread the floor and has the passing skills to be a good playmaking four.

 

That's why nurkic for gortat makes sense

 

So i'm looking for an alternative to watching Nuggets game this year, I don't have cable and don't plan on it, and the channel they air the games on doesn't seem to stream them online on their site either? Can't get league pass cause I live in Denver.

Any suggestions? I think i'm fucked

 

Denver is not close to competing for a run, so trading a young big for a big approaching the downside doesn't make sense. I like Gortat, but that's not the fit.

 

What? What does contending have to do with any of that? Not every trade is to put a playoff team over the top. You make trades to get better players. Nurkic only had one good year and was injured all last year, you act like he's a stud. He's solid but not great. You need veterans sometimes, ones that actually play and aren't injured all year (chandler, fallinari)

 

Get a family or friend's cable password and chromecast/Apple TV the main networks. The NBA adjusted its schedule so that after football ends there will be cable games five nights a week. Between that change and your Denver stuff you could have plenty to watch. Kick whoever a few bucks for their trouble.

 

Why would Denver want to do that move? Gortat maybe gives them a few more wins than last year. Gortat has already played his best seasons, so unless Denver is close to making a real push or getting a coveted asset back, I struggle to see where the value for them is there to take on Gortat. Pretty simple imo.

 

deeeeetroiiiiit baaaasketbaaaaaal

the road to 46-36 starts tonight

 

I am beyond pumped for Embiid already

Dude pulled up for 3 on his first career possession, gonna be so much fun to watch

 

I love it
