Random NBA Observations 2024 - 2025

I guess the solution is to not schedule anything worth a damn til February

I personally think the scheduling and "ratings issues" have very little to do with Silver's and the league's ineptitude. They've figured out it simply doesn't matter to their value. We're in a new world - a technofeudalist world - and Silver et all have figured out what the audience still hasn't: the NBA doesn't need to spotlight Boston-OKC, or Wemby vs Joker; the market for the game continues to grow abroad and with gamblers. And the way the game is played - more point, more chaos, more dangerous than ever to bet unless you really really really really have a depth of knowledge - is a boon for Vegas.

If the league doesn't care, why should I? Been a gold rush of great games lately, so I'm just enjoying that.

These takes are so annoying. The schedule is made in the summer

The weekend schedule starts after football

Over/over with the same hot takes

The schedule is made in the summer but you didn’t need to be a psychic to know that the Thunder & Celtics were gonna be really really good this season. Putting it as a matinee game against NFL Sunday was a weird choice, but those who wanted to watch watched

Some days f it comes down to their TV partners too…Disney & WB want to probably avoid the NFL & CFB

The Thompson twins are the most athletic players in the league and it's not close

Amen looking like the next Andre Iggy…

Can’t convince me the warriors FO has ever been tryna compete. Stumbled into making a contender off Steph’s back and hasn’t traded a first round pick since KD left (over half a decade ago for anyone wondering).

Welcome to the Age of Technofeudalism

In Yanis Varoufakis’ latest book, the former Greek finance minister argues that companies like Apple and Meta have treated their users like modern-day serfs.

His book is a must-read

If you hang on, it ends like Kobe

Or. You can trade and rebuild properly
