Adam Conover

Okay I decided I'm following the NBA this season, can anyone catch me up right quick

@adamconover so there’s this gym teacher in Massachusetts with a ball, two peach baskets, and a dream in his heart.

@adamconover Teams are shooting more 3's than ever. It's a 3 or layup/dunk league. Cavs are killing it. Lakers are doing OK, slightly better than last year with a new coach and great rookie pick in Knecht. Wemby already had a 50 pt game and is being pushed to be the new face of the league. Champs Boston will likely be a high seed in the playoffs again.

Great YT channel for NBA here:

@adamconover I don't have any take on this NBA season but I am curious to see how many folks here on Mastodon do genuinely reply. I feel like you'd get hundred of responses on Mastodon if the question was about everyone's favorite Linux distro.

@frozencanuck yeah that’s kind of what im testing for

@adamconover LeBron James' kid is not the next LeBron James, Draymond Green is still a dick, and the NBA Cup is something that I do not quite understand but the new courts look kind of neat for those games.

@adamconover Cavs are off to a historic 15-1 start to the season, only losing to the reigning-champ Celtics. Teams are shooting more 3s than ever (Celtics are the best at it). There's an in-season tournament, games every Tuesday/Friday the next few weeks. LeBron is still crushing it at 40 and his son is playing with him (v poorly). Warriors are real good and Steph Curry still hasn't lost steam. Wemby is 7'5" phenom taking over the league. "Super teams" are kinda over; more team play. Fun year!

@adamconover
Nobody REALLY cares until after the break and AllStar game, thats when records get close and playoff seeds start sorting out. AND the NFL and college football are done

Thats why they added the midseason tournament, try to get more interest before all that

You got a team?

@adamconover a bunch of millionaires in short shorts are throwing balls around. Ostensibly to entertain hundred or thousandaires. This is so billionaire owners of the millionaire can scrape rent and food money out of the hundred or thousandaires. The millionaire ball checkers seem ok with this since they're paid by the billionaires.

Some team will win this year. Some other team will win next year.
