College basketball is broken beyond repair. The NBA is great right now.

10/18/2017 12:10:10 AM

this is a golden age for nba. golden state might not even win it all this year there are so many super teams now.

thunder
spurs
cavs
celtics*

all contenders barring major injuries* with the exception of big injuries.

76ers have like 4 budding superstars and will only get better until they are broken up. bucks to a lesser degree as well.

Rockets and Twolves are going to be a problem. Wizards will be fun to watch.

10/18/2017 12:12:12 AM

there is nothing broken about the NBA

at all

10/18/2017 12:20:37 AM

Well I wouldn't go that far. It does kinda suck if you are a fan of one of the 20+ teams that are completely irrelevant.

10/18/2017 12:32:11 AM

the thunder and rockets could both just as well be disasters too, we'll see,

10/18/2017 12:51:52 AM

thunder can't be a disaster. They weren't even a disaster last year with just russ.

10/18/2017 1:00:21 AM

rockets had to sit paul to get back in the game. such an awful acquisition.

10/18/2017 1:30:44 AM

Damn. Thought KD had that one.

10/18/2017 1:30:51 AM

chris webber being chris webber at the end "its not over, bring the players back out, its not over" i thought he was gonna call a timeout

10/18/2017 1:40:01 AM

They need to shorten the NBA regular season. But good games last night!

10/18/2017 9:05:44 AM

Just happened to look at the boxscore for the Indiana Pacers and Damien fucking Wilkins is still in the league and getting playing time.

10/18/2017 7:53:56 PM

76ers could make some noise in the playoffs if they stay healthy

10/18/2017 8:39:17 PM

Nba sucks. Theres only like 4 or 5 teams that have any kind of shot. Makes the nba incredibly boring

10/18/2017 8:56:05 PM

there’s nothing boring about basketball being played at the highest level

10/18/2017 9:19:50 PM

good game for dennis

10/18/2017 10:57:46 PM

10 assists, 3 TOs is solid

ehh...the playoffs are still incredibly interesting and entertaining. the sport has, imo, overtaken all other pro sports in terms of offseason interest and excitement in trades/free agency.

10/19/2017 7:07:10 AM

The offseason is more interesting simply because team dynamics change so much from 1 player acquisitions coupled with the whole shift to super-teams.

NFL, MLB, NHL, etc, no one else is forming super-teams or have the opportunity for 1 player to completely change the outlook of a team save for MAYBE a premier QB switching teams(Peyton Manning to Denver, Brees to Saints, but even those were both players coming off of injuries).

10/19/2017 8:16:16 AM

Youngest player to ever have a points/assists double double in his first game. Not too shabby.

Nah I think the NFL is still tops there. The NFL draft could basically be its own sport and would probably get the third best ratings of all the major leagues.

10/19/2017 8:52:23 AM

the draft, yeah, but NBA free agency >>>>>>>>> NFL free agency

NBA twitter rules, too

NBA Twitter is the worst.

yeah the NFL draft still owns all the drafts. people even watch the damn combine. i was thinking of free agency and trades when i said "offseason" but obviously the draft occurs in the offseason too. maybe it's because it's easier for 1 player to make a bigger impact on an NBA team, but it seems like there's just more significant trades and signings.

nba twitter...like writers and dudes making gifs and shit is good and fun and entertaining imo. fans, on the other hand, are probably shit heads like they are in every sport - dick riding their favorite players and just being idiots in general.

10/19/2017 1:50:17 PM

I wonder if the OKC will stay healthy and try to win a bunch of games this year? They could easily get into the 70s.

10/19/2017 10:25:41 PM

Westbrook gonna Westbrook. He could average 15 assists with guys on his team who can actually knock down shots. That was a good debut for that big three.

Yeah, just follow @wojespn for news, @KevinOConnorNBA and @ZachLowe_NBA for analysis, and @netw3rk or @SheaSerrano for jokes.

10/20/2017 8:11:37 AM

Warren still missing key free throws

10/21/2017 1:10:36 AM

^^@world_wide_wob for jokes too

10/21/2017 7:33:38 AM

well, Lonzo sure looked better than he did in his first game

10/21/2017 9:54:49 AM

Thug Curry throwing his mouthpiece again, good thing he's lightskinned

10/22/2017 12:54:42 PM

not to mention it's fucking gross. tossing your spit all over the place.

10/22/2017 1:01:13 PM

He said he was at a salon when he tweeted that but has since been dismissed from the team.

Should've been suspended for a game. It's fucking gross and he was fined before

10/24/2017 8:02:05 PM

Kentucky players all over the place.

cousins
davis
cauley stein
fox

10/27/2017 1:07:34 AM

Draymond is the UJustWait of the NBA

10/28/2017 12:48:22 AM

Lol. Beale is trash. I get the Draymond hate, but that was weak AF. Too bad mah Dubs won anyway

10/28/2017 1:27:22 AM

Boring season is boring so far. Well, unless you like James Harden I guess.

11/7/2017 12:10:21 PM

it may be boring for a casual fan

there have been lots of intriguing storylines 3 weeks in

11/7/2017 12:26:25 PM

Wonder how much different Boston would be with Hayward?

11/7/2017 12:28:06 PM

Watching porzingis against the hornets, that dude flops like a little birch

11/7/2017 9:45:51 PM

he’s so fucking good it’s scary

the unicorns are taking over the league

11/7/2017 9:56:16 PM

unicorns are boring, just like this season in the NBA

11/9/2017 11:46:29 AM

nice take

11/9/2017 12:09:50 PM

Gotdam, ball can't shoot for shit.

11/9/2017 9:35:02 PM

I've said it before and I'll say it again, he's just a taller Kendall Marshall.

11/9/2017 9:55:13 PM

remember when Kendall Marshall was draining 30 footers in college
