Talk About Tennis 2.0

Why no thread for the new season?

Season specific stuff here. Everything else in the NBA Random thread.

Here is something that can technically go in either, but is highly relevant for this season, so I'll put it here to kick off the thread.

I don't think there had been any news worth talking yet.
Until, of course, Nash's firing. I was always puzzled by the hiring, anyway. A great PG, for sure, but no credentials whatsoever to have been named coach.

Has the season started yet?

Zion? Really? I haven't been paying close attention but I find it hard to believe he's a starting All Star. I'll try to catch aa Pelicans game b4 the break.

It's a popularity game, and that is fine.
If it were only competitive (there is a way...)

Me too as Zion been out for weeks with injury.

Until Durant’s injury, Nets were doing well

Catch a game, but Zion won't be in it. Pelicans were having an amazing year up until Ingram and Zion were injured. Ingram is back and they are trying to get back on track. Zion makes them more dominant, but they are solid without him. They have a little bit of an easier schedule the next couple of weeks than they did the last 2 that should get them back into a better place in the standings.

People were definitely mad about Zion being one of the starters. There's quite a bit of conversation about the lineups this year. I'll post the reserves. People are big mad about those too.

Dillion Brooks suspended one game, Donovan Mitchell fined. Brooks should've been suspended 3 games. One game doesn't' seem like enough to curb his asshole behavior.

I'm tired of Kyrie.
