2018 NBA Offseason - Page 202 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

As a foreigner going to my first NBA game in Nov (Lakers/Jazz), what are the best seats to get? I'm not buying courtside but other than that happy to pay for the best option...

lower bowl as close to the court as possible. there is no sporting experience quite like sitting court side for an NBA game, it's bar none.

If you're not very first row courtside, then actually I'd much rather sit a few rows up and be able to look down on the court a little. I like baseline section seats for a cheaper option.

I had seasons in the corner around the 20th row and I thought they were #1 Best value.

I like the corner because you don’t get blocked out by the basket and you don’t have to keep turning your head side to side.

Apparently suns have offered Jamal Crawford a vet min deal. Gonna be so pissed if that happens. I hate his game so much, he's like a terrible version of booker with even worse defense. He's the main reason those clipper teams never really made it anywhere.

Just ride it out with melton, okobo, Harrison at point. Not like we're making the playoffs anyway.

I had second row seats in Chicago behind the Raptors bench one game and hated it, the coach and players on the bench blocked the view a lot. I've sat 2nd row courtside a few times and loved it, but I like my 4th row upper bowl season tickets I have and would rather go to 20 games there than 1 courtside for the same price. Heck I think I would take 5 games in the upper bowl over one 2nd row courtside(never sat 1st row)

used to have a hook up for 10th-row seats in the corner at Pacer's games close to where Larry Legend would sit. Those seats were the GOAT.

Sigh suns.

Major lol if Jamal plays a bunch. He's so bad.

And now they have to cut two players besides Arthur. Be interesting to see who. Reed and daniels probably, maybe Canaan.

Jamal is pretty good when he's on absolute fire. He's a slot machine. Most of the time he's just slowly leaking away money but every once in a while he pays out big.

He makes me wonder what the point of having the sickest handle ever is if you're just gonna use it to jack off balance 20 footers.

Nice, that's nice. Great analogy for lots of players in lots of sports.

I absolutely hate players like that. It's somewhat tolerable for a minimum salary bench player who the coach is willing to give a DNP. I would hate rooting for a team with a player like that as a starter.

Jamal is such a horrible signing for the Suns. Going to take minutes away from developing players, but even worse, he's going to take tons of shots when he plays (mostly in ISO) so he'll actively hurt the development on the players that he shares the court with.

In the tiers of completely incompetent and worthless organizations, are the Kings/Knicks their own tier or do we include the Suns/Magic/Wolves?

Ranking the Suns in with that group is pretty bad.

Up until 8 years ago they were a constant playoff team (27 of the previous 33 seasons). And even in the last 8 years they've had 4 seasons of 39 wins or more (I included their 33-33 season). Not bad.

I'm basing it more on bad decision-making & bad ownership than lack of team success, so I don't give any consideration to their pre-Sarver success and he cost them significant ring equity early on. I'd also put the Cavs in the next lowest tier despite being in the finals 4 straight years.

like once per month. He can still score but all your bench guys have to just stand there and watch him. Defensively he's now the literal WOAT. Against Boston, Brad went to Marcus Smart postups against him 3 straight possessions. Smart got lay ins on the first 2 and we had to bring a double on the third (open 3) before calling timeout and getting Crawful out. Marcus Smart!
