Got some tickets for TOR vs CHI on Nov 6. :rockon:

I was cheap and got the standing room tix- only $44 each. It'll be my first game since 2019.
Nice, Artemis! Hope you have a blast witnessing Bulls victory :wink: :wink: :wink:
:lol: I love Demar and his fit with the Bulls. So many other great guys on that team. Really enjoyed watching them last season.

Plus, I want to jeer that bitch Dragic. I guess I'm still bitter that he didn't even give the Raps a chance. :lol:
It was incredible to watch what he did last season. Now, I'm waiting for some fellow Bulls fans to lose their shit when he avgs 25.9 instead of 27.9 ppg this season. :lol:

Jeer away, totally warranted! Sincerely hope you have a great time! I haven't been to a game since '19 and am jonesin' hard! I'm looking to hopefully get some tickets to the CHI-ORL or CHI-ATL series close to me this year.

I'm excited for the season to start.

A lot of players who were out last year will be back this year...Kawhi, Ben Simmons, Jamal Murray, to name a few.

I have no predictions. :lol:

Well, I'll take that as a debut. Brown and Tatum are so mature at this point. Fakes looked dreadful.

I watched the C's game last night...looking good! Same old scene with the Sixers...don't think they'll win it all this season either. I know, I know it's only the first game, but just a feeling I had.

Looking forward to the Raptors game tonight.

Good game last night Raps vs Nets. Even though my guys lost, I think we played well, a few missed shots near the end. Don't sleep on the Dinos!

Brooklyn looked a little more cohesive and played better than their previous game. Ben Simmons started out well then fizzled out. I'm sure he'll improve with a few more games under his belt.Claxton and O'Neale played great!

Had a decent lead with a few minutes left....kinda gave it away :balls: Can't complain on the C's. Brown looks like a force....handle is better and finishing at the rim :rockon: Dubs took a loss.

How about this BOS - CHI game, SR? :bigrin: :wink:

It hurts my FSU heart to say that Pat Williams needs to be removed from the starting role for now. He looks so lost out there.

I noticed the schedules seem a little different this year, or maybe I never noticed before, but the same 2 teams play each other consecutively.

Example: Raps vs Phillies tonight and again on Friday.

I know they started doing this more last season due to COVID, hoping to reduce exposure points by limiting travel.

Steve Nash is gone! I can't say that I'm surprised, another terrible start this year.
Next thing the Nets should do is get rid of Kyrie Irving. He is too unpredictable and creates a lot of drama, not worth it, imo.

I just saw this followed by a lot of chatter that Brooklyn is setting their sights on Ime Udoka.

Wow, Steve Nash's body is still warm!

I guess for the Celtics it would be good to get rid of Udoka and turn the page on everything that happened.

A comment I saw cracked me up: "Fire Nash and hire Ime Udoka. The Nets really love drama. Why not Kanye West as the team president?" :lol:

What a dumpster fire. Knew it would turn out like this I soon as KD went to team up with that flat-earth-antisemitic-black Israelite Kanye wanna be. Nash dodged a bullet. So did the Celtics in a few ways. Simmons, KD, and Kyrie deserve each other.

So, the Raptors have looked pretty good in their last two games.



"“They’re strong, they’re long,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said after last night’s 143-100 Toronto win, the worst home loss of his career. “Very athletic. They bust their ass. They deny the switch. Very good basketball team. They do it really well. And you know, we’re probably not ready for that right now obviously.”
