New NBA season

Tatum’s dunk and taunt on Lebron was nice.

 

Celtics couldn't hit water from a boat. 4th quarter was so frustrating... hate Lebron, hate it even more that they won solely because of him and the Cavs are going to get absolutely destroyed by whoever makes the final out of the west.

 

Aye both teams were very poor compared to the previous showings; Cleveland were just a bit less *.

The Celtic are going to be some team when they get their 2 stars back playing, although they might trade one after the emergence of some of their young guys this year.

Yeah the winner of tonight’s game is going to smash the Cavs easily. I want the GSW to win and make it another Cavs vs Warriors final.

I used to like the Rockets but can’t take to Chris Paul.

 

Used to love CP3 back in New Orleans, but he's turned into a bit of flopping * since. Would rather Houston tbh, at least give some change.

 

I wouldn’t lose any sleep if the Rockets won tbh. I’ve always liked Harden from back in his OKC days.

Whoever wins I’ll be backing them against the Cavs, definitely.

 

Golden State vs Cleveland... yawn. NBA's a joke now.

 

Both series went to game 7. That’s one of the better pair of conference finals I’ve seen in a while. Now the question is if LeBron can carry Cleveland past Golden State. It’s pretty interesting.

 

King James goes to LA

 

Do basketball players last longer than footballers then? Hes 33 and signed a £115m 4 year deal. Mental.

 

Basketball is a less strenuous sport.

 

Lebron is a freak though.

He spends millions just looking after his body and never missed a game last season.

Chris Paul is the same age, with bad injury history and Just signed a 4 year £160m deal.

 

He’s a freak athlete which helps.

 

Not entirely true, considering the amount of traveling, training and games they have.

 

They play more games because the sport is a lot easier on their bodies. The game is broken into 4 quarters with many more breaks.

 

Playing at that level takes its toll on the body. The fact there’s 4 quarters and breaks has nothing to do with Lebron James still playing MVP level basketball at his age. Absolutely 0 to do with it.

 

I’m not doubting it takes its toll, but he asked if they last longer than footballers and I stated it’s a less strenuous sport, which it is.

 

Aye, they get a lot of recovery time during games which are quite only short(48 minutes?) but considering the size of the * then the do incredibly well to go at the pace they go at. Somecunt at 6ft 2 would be considered a wee guy in basketball.

 

Have to take into account the size of basketball players though, the average height is probably about 6ft 6 and average weight must be about 220lbs. They're massive athletes and it's probably more tiring to them than it is for a footballer to play a game.

 

Aye. Don’t understand how their knees aren’t absolutely *. You see it quite often, some players decline rapidly around the 30s. Body’s just break down. Some of them keep going a lot longer, but never at a high level.

 

I doubt it.
