Yes we do right now. We're basically Philly if we were an East team. That schedule is laughable.

Jazz suck in any conference

We get it, you have some weird insecurity.

Enjoy another first round exit

Yeah we'll see. This team hasn't even started to gel yet so I'm not worried, at all. As I said, if Utah had a cake schedule like you guys it'd be a different story. Luckily for us it will start to get easier after this terrible road trip. Flying from Toronto to Philly and playing in less than 20 hours and only losing by 9 isn't the end of the world. The slow start killed us, once we figured it out, we outplayed you. Not impressed.

Why are you talking s**t when they beat the Sixers in the first game? You were pretty quiet then.

Lol Jazz would no doubt be a higher seed in the East than the 76ers.

TV ratings down big for the NBA: https://sportsnaut.com/2019/12/nba-national-television-ratings-down-north-of-20-percent-this-season/

The regular season in the NBA needs a shake up, big time. Maybe the super team thing is catching up to everyone. Before LBJ joined forces with Wade/Bosh, him teaming up with another top 5 player would be a huge TV. This year, no one really even cares. The super team thing is losing luster until the playoffs, maybe. We'll see how those numbers shake out. This is hurting the NBA's pocketbook so changes will come for sure. Eventually, the NBA will figure out a way for more parity

The Clippers and their 14 fans having a tough time holding the ratings up...what happens when the best player in the NBA goes to the f**king Clippers.

Thats pretty weird though. Especially since the Lakers are good again. Thats a lot of bandwagon fans that came back. GS not being good im sure hurts a bit as well. Also weird bc this is the first season in a while where you know its not GS vs whoever in the East. You would think people would want to see all these new good teams and what will happen this year.

I agree, that was a bit tongue in cheek. I am not really sure either. KD, Klay, Steph, Zion all being hurt doesn't help. Kawhi to the Clipps doesn't either. And people are sick of Lebron being this dominant in year 35 for him. There needs to be more rising stars outside of Luka.

I feel you, but I don't know if that is it... Remember when LBJ when to Miami? It was such a huge thing. Now no one cares now about superstars linking up because we are immune to it. Also, this year how many teams really have a chance? Two? The NBA regular season doesn't matter and load management further proves that

Too many games is one factor. Lack of parity is another. The NFL is king and the league having more control ends up being a good thing in the long run. The last couple of years it seemed as if the NBA was taking some of the NFL's market share, and they got a little high and mighty politically. I'm glad they are getting some humble pie. I hope they make some changes. LBJ, shut up about politics and every social issue... and take back some control of player movement, etc.

Luka being the future doesnt do it for me, i have no interest in watching a fat white dude with wack dunks be good at basketball

hahaha... good point. He's a baller, but he isn't going to get you Kobe or LBJ returns in the American basketball fan.

He doesn't have the flash and dash but he has the control of a Larry Bird. He's a pleasure to watch.
