    This is actually pretty sad that the Rockets can't hit the side of a barn in many years....all those average shooters.

    And the Worriers shoot over 40% pretty consistently over the decades.

    NBA Cup games are simply way more intense than regular games.

    They are a lot closer too......almost no 30-40 point blowouts.

    It’s an incentive to “win” something. Smart move by NBA.

    Each player of the winning team wins $500,000 cash.

    And each player of the losing team gets $200,000 cash.

    It makes sense they are more intense, 82 games is a long ass grind and expecting people to just bring the same intensity is just something we cannot expect and unrealistic. Then you have a different setting, something different to play for, money, a cup etc of course it’s going to be a bit more like a play-off intensity. I therefore expect a more aggressive Clippers team and hopefully some of our starters can bring it too. Our bench is going to bring it regardless.

    Yooo are you in middle management? Cuz if not I got a job for you bruh.

    idea does exactly what it’s supposed to do and absolutely smashes all expectations.

    “Well the idea was stupid.” - every middle manager ever.

    15 million cap space/ Playoff spot or a guaranteed spot with the other 12 lotto teams in the draft.
    Otherwise it's just a competition to see which elementary school kid can design the ugliest court. I know.. it needs more slime green

    The colors are too intense. It made me adjust my monitors' settings.

    It’s quite disgusting to be honest. They are doing this so people who are zapping through channels will think wtf is that and then maybe watch it or else it makes no sense. Imagine saving money to finally go to a game and this is what you have to look at.
