shiznak Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Why not give us some actually NBA regular season games? I don’t want to see starters play 10 mins of a game and then sit out the rest of the game for bench players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love it if we got another team here, think they would be easily become the most popular team in the city.

Unless Rogers Arena is not charging them, and both NBA teams get all the gate revenue, and merchandize. Canucks get the concessions and parking revenue?

Mj2345 Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 (edited) https://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/272743/James-Harden-Calls-Daryl-Morey-A-Liar-Says-He-Wont-Be-Part-Of-Sixers In a video that surfaced on Monday morning, James Harden called Philadelphia 76ers President of Basketball Operations Daryl Morey "a liar". Harden was speaking to a group of media and fans while on an Adidas press tour in China. "Daryl Morey is a liar and I will never be a part of an organization that he's a part of," Harden said. "Let me say that again. Daryl Morey is a liar and I will never be a part of an organization that he's a part of." Harden has asked the Sixers to trade him. Philadelphia and Morey have attempted to fulfill this request, but haven't found a deal to their liking. The LA Clippers are where Harden would like to be traded, but talks between the two teams have been termed as "stagnant". Harden opted into the final year of his two-year deal with the 76ers ahead of this free agency period. He did so with the idea that it would make it easier for him to be traded. Last week, Morey and the Sixers said they were ending trade talks and the intention was for Harden to report to Philadelphia's training camp.

RUPERTKBD Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 (edited) Canada beats Latvia 101-75 to finish atop Group H at the FIBA World Cup, with a 3-0 record. Moving on to the 2nd round, Canada will be in a group with Latvia, Spain and the winner of tomorrow's game between Brazil and Cote D'Ivoire. Records from round 1 carry over, so both Canada and Spain will start the round with a 1 game advantage over the other two teams. EDIT: I should note that I'm assuming a win by Spain over Iran tomorrow. It would be a massive upset if that didn't happen....

How have they looked and are the games any good? They won all three of their games fairly easily, although they started a bit slow against France and Latvia. To put it into [perspective, their points differential is +111 after three games. The 2nd place Latvians are +15..... I haven't actually been able to watch live, because games are starting around 6 am on workdays. (Games are being played in The Philippines, Indonesia and Japan) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 FFS! Canada comes up with a clunker and loses 69-65 to Brazil. To make it even worse, the guy who did most of the damage was Bruno Caboclo (19 pts, 13 boards)....a guy who wasn't even good enough to stick with the Raptors.... Now it's down to a game against Spain, which is a "must win" for both teams..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUPERTKBD Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Canada has qualified for the Paris Olympics with a hard fought 88-85 win over defending world champions, Spain. The Canadians twice trailed by double digits, including a 12 point deficit going into the 4th quarter..... Next up for Canada is Luka Doncic and Slovenia on Wednesday. The Americans, who were upset by Lithuania, will take on Italy, while 5-0 Lithuania faces Serbia and Latvia (who defeated Brazil by 20 points) will play the undefeated Germans. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what, if anything, it means but looking at the clip you posted, that seemed to be a pretty subdued celebration by the Canadian team at the end of the game.

Didn't see it live, but my guess is that it was an "unfinished business" reaction....They expected to qualify for Paris, but they're in this tournament to win.... They still have three games to win.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada was trailing most of the game, by 12 points in the 4th quarter, which is a huge gap to fill. It took tremendous physical and mental efforts from the team to win this game by a slim margin- in fact, something like 1 inch, the final shot by a Spanish player hit the rim... So, I think players were mentally drained at the final buzzer. Hopefully, they use 2 days off to recharge batteries. Canada has a very good chance against Slovenia (knock on wood 3 times). . 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
