Hey yall! I didn’t see a thread on this yet so I wanted to start one since preseason has started up. I’m a huge NBA fan so I’ll try and post in this.
If anyone wants to get into basketball/NBA, let me know lol, I’ve been watching since I was old enough to remember.
My team is the Dallas Mavericks, but I’ve been a massive Giannis fan since he was overseas, so I do also really like the Bucks.
Let me know y’all’s fav team(s) and/or players!

No Chris Paul or DeAndre Ayton this year for the Suns. I’m not going to miss either of them.

I'm a 1990s Bulls fan, though I also rooted for the Spurs during Tim Duncan's era. I haven't watched an NBA game since the 2016 Finals.

I was a long suffering Warriors fan. Still a fan but I suppose the long suffering phase is over.

I remember Bill Simmons writing an article (back when he was still a writer) about the plight of Warriors fans about a decade ago. Things really have changed. Funny reading that column now. I lived through all of it - I even had season tickets (five rows above the visitor’s bench, got hear some interesting conversations) for 4 miserable years. 1999-2002, when the Dubs averaged 60 losses a season. The Erick Dampier era. 🤮 But Simmons ragging on Joe Lacob (now considered one of the best owner’s in professional sports) and the Monta Ellis-for-Andrew Bogut trade (which worked out great for the Warriors) has not aged well.

as a Warriors fan, very much looking forward to this season. I think we're going to get absolutely bullied in the paint by bigs but I'm excited to watch this offense cook with Chris Paul pulling the strings.
some of my other favorite players to watch are Dame (so very excited for the Bucks this year with him + Giannis), as well as Luka and Jaylen Brown. But for the life of me I can't root for Dallas or Boston lol

But for the life of me I can't root for Dallas or Boston lol I'm trying to come to grips with the idea of Chris Paul as a Warrior. His nut punching and use of every little dirty trick in the book just makes me ill. But then again I remember when Mike Montgomery became head coach at Cal so I guess anything is possible and where one can live with it.

Also, a jerk with a capital J. He’ll pull a hammy in the first game of the playoffs. I called it.
