Sunday thoughts on the NBA

The NBA Salary Cap is going UP by $10 Million per team. There was a $1 Million downward adjustment, from a projected $11 Million Increase, to a $10 Million Increase. Cowherd is the embodiment of "frequently wrong, never uncertain".

Not too long ago, you were bashing the people that were saying the things that you just brought up.

You talking heads are missing the big picture...the NBA is trending down and needs repair quickly. I think many have started watching much less or just casually or even no longer because of these issues that need to be resolved immediately: officiating (calling traveling, inconsistent calls with players), reducing the number of 3s taken (game has become a glorified 3 point contest), load management, etc.

The NBA is a garbage product

It’s masters Sunday. We couldn’t give less fucks about the NBA

There is also an epidemic of traveling and just chucking up 3’s. It’s just not a good watch at all anymore.

Salary cap isn’t shrinking, even top media guys don’t read The cap was projected to go up by 11m but instead it’s going up by 10m, I don’t get the outrage over 1m

Players and the League prioritizing social justice messaging plays a big role in my mind.

NBA is trash!!

They steady trying talking shit bout the nba because is the only pro league where 77% of the players are black! The NFL every year has teams tanking after week 7 but you won’t hear this many think pieces fk outta here dawg

When’s the last time you watched a game tho

@TheRealJHair Spot on.excellent

the cap is going up 7%...where more misinfo

If NBA had TV deals with FOX this pussy would be singing their praises. You’re a shill & a kiss ass.

Stop letting casual football fans talk about basketball

You lost me at NBA.

The cap is going up. But you are right. The product blows. Every game is like an exhibition.

No mention of the flopping and reffing inconsistency?!? Ruining the game with those 2 big and growing issues. What about the very political stances of the NBA (Kerr Ivey as examples).

Its going down because sga gameplay is atrocious foultbaiting shooting 24 freethrows in a game but blames lebron for saying memphis is a shithole? You know why ja morant point a gun at a kid? Because memphis is a literal shithole lol.

The problem is Analytics. Everyone wants to shoot 3s. No more creativity. No more dunking. No more great inbound play calls. Only high screen and rolls, and corner 3s. Basketball has become a shooting contest. Lastly, players don’t have passion for the game.

The @NBA is completely dead and it’s fine 👍

Basketball junkie for 3 decades and haven't watched a single full game. It's awful and unwatchable basketball. I don't know NBA can fix it anymore they allowed this garbage to grow so deep that I doubt they can go back! Money needs to dry up and then people come to their senses.

Couldn't agree more. Well done

Lmao pls stfu you’re a culture vulture grifting off the same NBA you constantly complain about nobody cares what you Gen X and boomers think about modern NBA lmao go watch golf

If MJ had trashed Memphis, the biggest majority-black city in America, Colin Coward wouldn't say he "appreciates the honesty". Bronsexuals are a cult.

NBA needs 3rd party doctors to determine health of players going into games.

The cap isn’t going down. It’s going up fractionally less than they projected.

The only way to bring back competitiveness is to bring back physicality but if you bring back physicality you will wane out all the Europeans & overseas players that the NBA mainly cares about. Look how Jokic & Doncic complain now imagine if they let guys bang them

There are guys in the NBA that have absolutely zero business being in a pro sports leagueZ the league took away being able to make it based off size and stature they only want ability because they know there is zero resistance. Everything is a foul or a 3

The regular season has become meaningless. Adam Silver's reactions have always been "add more to manufacture fake motivation" (The Cup, Play-In, 65-Game Rule, even humiliating All Stars). Teams want to play their best players - eliminate back-to-backs and they will. @NBA

Astute sir. I think Silvers gotta go. Along with financial issues, you have an integrity issue and I think he’s the culprit. But I do think the NIL is going to breathe life with healthy competition, better young players too. That and LeBron retiring. He is so bad for the game.

Well this is a bullshit take. The salary cap is actually going UP to $165 million instead of the projected $166 million. That this pullback of $1 million of the projected INCREASE is some enormous red flag is ridiculous.

If any league ever needed a new commissioner, it is the NBA. The pro-case for Silver has always been … but, yeah the money. Well, that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore.

@germ4 people are starting to call the league out
