Who do Clemson fans cheer for in the NBA?
I myself am a Timberwolves fan. Huge win last night and Edwards became on the second player ever with two 40 point season openers. Joining MJ and Wilt.

I'm the world's most casual Spurs fan because I liked Tim Duncan.

Anthony Edwards hates you. Why do you cheer for him? You should go up to him and call him the n-word, to prove to everyone that you should be able to say it.

I'm a huge NBA fan and most Clemson fans like the regional teams, either the Hornets or the Hawks. Living in Atlanta, I'm naturally a Hawks fan and enjoyed the hell out of that win last night. I think they have something this year but they won't make it deep into the playoffs due to their lack of bigs. They're talented, scrappy, have a great defensive mindset and I think they'll win their division this year but will probably flame out in the 2nd round of the playoffs.

But yah, Ant is a badass.

Did anyone see what Ty Jerome did last night? After that performance, I just added him to my fantasy team haha. Now that he's a starting PG, he looks awesome.

PJ Hall and the stinging Hornets
Good to see Naz Reid had a good night last night. I honestly think this might have been a trade where both teams are better off after the Reid and Ball trade. I couldn’t stand Ball when he entered the league but I don’t mind the guy now days. I think it was more his dad that I disliked.

Nothing against Duncan and he seems like a great guy but man I couldn’t stand him and the spurs when they were taking down KG and the wolves.

I wasn't even watching basketball then, to be honest. I'm being earnest when I describe myself as extremely casual. I probably watch 10 playoff games a year and that's about it. I just know that the Spurs are who I want to do best.

Seek help. Funny thing is ANT would probably call me a nigga right back and keep on livin life to the max. The guy doesn’t care about you or you’re ***** whites for Harris group.

I did not expect to see NAW take the leap with the Hawks that he did last year.
Yeah where the hell did that come from last night in regards to Ty Jerome. We’ll see if he can keep it up, like you pointed out, he should have the freedom to do so.

I was skeptical until I watched Jerome's highlights and might I say he looked Doncic-esque? It's obvious the guy has major skills that he hasn't been able to fully display until now, but wow, I really think he's got something.

You might appreciate this Steven A clip about Ant if you're a Minny fan.

Yet I don’t think they even come close to repeating this year or anytime in the future. But hey, I’d take a championship for the wolves in a heartbeat.
They have a shot for sure this year. They are built for playoffs. But I got what I wanted so rest is a bonus

Yikes. You need to try it out. Maybe start by sending him the above n-word message via social media, then ask for a personal meet up.

There are so many uber-talented cats that don't get the chance to shine because they either don't fit a system, are blocked by a legacy vet, or maybe have a bugaboo or two in their game that just irks a coach. Many of these reserves could start and shine, if given the chance.

Very true. Check out these highlights, the guy has it all. A sick handle, can shoot from the logo, can drive, makes shots in the lane, off balance, you name it. It's possible this game was a one-off but he looks like a star in the making to my eyes.

Here’s gem from last night



I'm an old man yelling at a cloud here, but I now find myself following the NBA, but not watching many/any games because of how boring it is ... because they've allowed so many things to fester and get worse ... it started with allowing everyone to carry the ball when dribbling ... this allowed so much more maneuverability that folks originally thought made the game more exciting ... fancier moves, more athletic play, etc. ... then they cemented the gather step in the rules (twice, really) ... and now it's just people running around the court doing stuff, and the dribble is almost an inconvenience that they may or may not choose to do.

There was a preseason play where Hugo Gonzalez picked up his dribble around the 3 point line, made two steps to the foul line, then did a bunch of little shuffle steps, then one big step to leap up and dunk it. Rather than a double dribble, it was a double travel. But it was allowed.

You see in that Lamelo clip, both times he handles the ball, his hand is under the ball ... so he can carry the thing while he does his "gather" and so, it's almost unlimited steps without having to dribble.

Get rid of the 3 point line, move the hoop up to 11 feet, don't allow carries or gathers, and stop randomly calling/not calling fouls based on who the players are (or are not). And get off my lawn

That reminds me ... I tried watching the Sixers v. Knicks opener ... I mean, the defending champs v. the new super team ... must see hoops TV.

It was awful. I felt like I was watching a men's league game at the Y. And not the top teams in the league ... the ones made up of old HS buddies who were benchwarmers back then and just wanted to get out of the house to get away from their families for a couple hours.

No defense at all. And just brick after brick after brick from stationary shooters.

It was All-Star game'esque ... if they were blindfolded during the All-Star game.

Stalk an NBA player through social media and ask to meet up? Is that your fantasy?

You can stalk an entire Iowa board, and drop the n-word multiple times here and on that board, but you won't give a simple "howdayado, n-word" to an individual you admire and cheer for?

Strange.

I make fun of roughly 4 posters operating multiple handles on the Iowa site, big difference there.
I also have no problem using the n-word if we are allowing certain people in this country to use it. Personally I think no one should but I’m not racist and only allow a certain group to use it. That is the definition of racism you know. I’m also smart enough to know there is a time and a place to use certain words you phuckin tard. See, I wouldn’t say that to anyone anywhere either, bur it is 100% fitting in this situation.
Sorry I just ruined your day before it even got started.

Next time, be more efficient, so you can get more work done during your day, and just say you're a lying racist stalking coward. You might even get promoted to head toilet licker.

Im pulling for OKC very casually. The okc spurs game on night one was a very good intense game for opening night.
If it weren’t for SGA getting away with everything and getting the whistle when he initiates contact, I wouldn’t mind the thunder. Because of what I mentioned, I can’t stand the thunder. Thankfully they no longer have Dort who was allowed to foul opposing players on defense every possession.

Pfft, I live in Atlanta and I was today years old when I learned that the Atlanta WNBA team was in the finals but only because I saw a post about these dweebs trying to make a scene at their game.


My comment was just admiring how far the WNBA has come and I’m really proud of the women that stuck with it! I don’t have a local team but I am a fan of some players on teams and I root for them.

I like the Hornets but they just traded our best asset away and signed the 2nd best asset to a max deal so it’s hard to agree with those decisions , time will tell though!

Never heard of Ty Jerome before reading this thread. He is obviously getting more P/T now that Ja Morant is gone, and he appears to be making the best of it. My only reservation on him is whether he has the speed and quickness to keep getting his shots. Seems like a quality defensive guard might be able to shut him down. We'll see.

He's the worlds biggest flopper. Puts even James Harden in the shade with his "skillz" at initiating contact and then flopping.

He played for Cleveland the last couple years and shined when he got his chance but now that he's the man, I expect big things. His speed was another reason I compared him to Doncic...but I don't think it'll be a problem since you can see he has no problem initiating and playing through contact.
