KoB2011 Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 Can we have an NBA thread on the main basketball page? It will get a lot more traffic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) I prefer one NBA thread and I prefer it be on the basketball page. So do my 9 exes and my 4 girlfriends. That's 14 votes right there. Seriously, it makes no sense to talk about Victor Oladipo in one thread and Myles Turner in a different one.

I don't speak for the other mods on this one, but fwiw (not a lot) I agree with you. I think the NBA thread got moved to the Animal House because it's not IU-related and we're almost to the season. Generally, we like seeing the Animal House be an active forum and that might've played a part. We mods will talk about the NBA thread given these comments. It may stay where it is, but we'll talk about it -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mods are talking about what to do with the NBA thread in light of these recent posts/comments. I'm not sure dumping it entirely and merging the two is what most would want, but it's one of the suggestions we're talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) Assume that Vic and the Pacers have the night off. But, every other former Hoosier is in action and, miraculously, all are on TV. Who are you watching and why? OG Anunoby - Raptors Thomas Bryant - Wizerds Yogi Ferrell - Kings Eric Gordon - Rockets Noah Vonleh - Knicks Troy Williams - Pelicans Cody Zeller - Hornets Before this year, it was an easy choice for me, because I liked watching teh Mavs play and the way Yogi fit on that team. Now that he moved to Sacramento, I just can't mentally get excited about the Kings. I don't enjoy watching the Rockets either, so Gordon, would be the natural second choice would not be it either. With the coaching change in Charlotte, I'm hoping Cody has an expanded role, so I'm going with Cody and the Hornets. If Charlotte ends up being the same old Charlotte, then it will likely end up being OG and the Raptors.

Pretty cool IU has players on 4 of the top 10 or so teams in the league. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierhoopster Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Tough news for Thunder fans (and PG fans like yours truly), Roberson out 2 additional months. https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/why-andre-robersons-injury-setback-puts-the-thunders-playoff-chances-in-jeopardy/ Meanwhile though not in this article, Spurs starting pg Murray went down with a knee injury, unclear as of now how long. And we haven't even started the season yet. Health is so key. Edit -- update on Spurs' Murray, torn right ACL, out indefinitely. Major hit to the Spurs.

5fouls Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Hoopster. Any clue on the issue that kept OG away from the Rsptors for several days. The say its 'personal' but does that mean family stuff or is their some kind of disagreement with the team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually though it just means family stuff, etc., and does not signal a team disagreement. All I've heard about OG and the Raptors is that the Raps love him and he's a big part of their plan going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely explains it, just not sure why the Raps just would not say so. A legit reason for sure. No need to be mysterious about it.
