It's my cakeday, yay! PM or comment something exciting to make me happy/help celebrate! What else should I do to celebrate my cake day? Am I karma-whoring correctly?

Last year, at least in my experience, preseason games were treated as new teams trying to mesh, getting experience etc.. usually regarded as pretty brush-offable.

This year it feels like this sub, myself included, seems to be giving the preseason a lot more importance. For me, I’ve been so seriously anticipating watching actual basketball that maybe I’m giving it a little more weight than last year? Has anyone else noticed this?

This is totally unimportant, so you can ignore it if you just don’t give a fuck about it.

I’ve got 18 and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to buy 19, or at least maybe wait till it’s cheaper. Thoughts? Is it worth buying this year?

For this entire season, the meme that has been circulating has been that LeBron is LeThanos, but I’m here to tell you that this isn’t the case.

Who is Thanos? You might ask... the answer is The Golden State Warriors, and they’ve just acquired the 5th infinity stone.

You might think the league is fucked, but this is a great thing! It means that now is the time for the one true GOAT, Cedi Osman, to save the league from utter peril.

I have a really shitty idea for a new rule, terrible idea but hilarious to visualize.

My rule is this: Any player is allowed to just carry the ball and run, no need to dribble. However, if a player is carrying the ball, any player from the opposing team can tackle them. Just flat out tackle the shit out of them. If a player is dribbling all current rules still apply, no tackling while dribbling. This means that, if they think they can outrun the other team, a player could just sprint a fast break and carry the ball for some sort of crazy spectacular dunk, BUT they also risk being straight up tackled by an NBA player... yikes!

Happy shitposting season everybody!

I’ve been thinking about the fact that people constantly talk about how Boston is currently missing it’s two top players, and I feel like that takes a lot away from this teams accomplishments. Primarily because one of those two players has not played at all this season. This team was a 55 win team without Hayward playing whatsoever. The team that made these playoffs are not missing their two best players, they are missing their best player and they have someone who has the potential to make them terrifying next year. I’m not saying that Boston isn’t making an incredibly impressive run while missing their best player, but that Gordon Hayward did not have an impact on this team making the play

Dear Mods,

I would like to ask you to please remove any Gameday Prayer posts that are not made by u/FinneganTheGoldenGod. They are ineffective and simply redditors attempting to get karma at the price of our team’s victory. An unofficial Gameday Prayer is worse than no prayer at all, and these people must be stopped.

Sincerely, ClozeQueue

I'm sure emotions are incredibly high right now, so I understand if this post doesn't go over well. I just wanted to say that this was an incredible series, and that your team is really special. When we were matched up with you, I was scared, I think you're our biggest nightmare in this conference. Congratulations on playing such an exciting series, I really hope we don't get matched up next year. I can't wait to see how your team develops, you've got something special.

Good game

The mods might delete this, that’s fine, I’ll live. However, I need to say it and hopefully some people will see it while it’s up. This sub is the most depressing place on the planet the second we go down one point at any point in any game. As soon as we have a single bad play, I suddenly see nothing but people talking about how we’re shit and we’re getting swept. Let’s stop with that bullshit! Go ahead and point out the mistakes, causes for mistakes, things we can do to fix it, but don’t start lamenting about the Cavs being a bad team. I’ve never seen a fan base shit on its own team so much. That attitude is nothing but damaging and unpleasant, we need to get excited about our team! This is

I think that the Cavs are going to the finals, we’ve been turning it up the last 10 games gearing up for the playoffs, and playoff lebron is coming to dad-dick the east once more. However, there are teams in the east that seem to exploit our weakness at Center pretty damn effectively. Are there any teams you guys would like to avoid come playoffs?
