Mario tennis ahh courts

[–] cjeremy@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

nba cup is the dumbest and most money grab shit ever. silver doesn't even understand what he's trying to copy (UEFA champions league). greedy idiot. it's pathetic and some courts are too ugly and painful to watch.

[–] ScrotemBarnes@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Master plan

[–] ds3461@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

These courts are a joke. NBA needs to find a real commissioner.

[–] fartalldaylong@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

There is a layer of paint on top of what is usually wood. Something is definitely different about how the polishing of the floor sits on wood vs paint. The specific type of paint may exacerbate the effect.

Reminds me of Bron on Christmas Day 2018 :(

[–] Neat-Current5007@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Gotta have the stupid ass courts tho huh

[–] trashiguitar@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Guy was on skates tonight. Slipped multiple times.

[–] throwaway12870734@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Besides this incident the Celtics players have been slipping all night

[–] Blaze2444@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Adam Silver ladies and gentlemen

[–] mylanguage@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Dumbass courts

They removed the NBA finals decals for slipping and now we have these atrocities

I feel like, if you're going to do this gimmick court thing, the least the NBA should ensure is that they aren't a health hazard.

People slipping left right and centre, all over the league. The courts have evil vibes. They have to be stopped.

[–] StefonDiggsHS@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Maybe Luka wasn't coping at all. people are slipping all over the place in every game

Fuck you Adam silver

[–] flamingviper3175@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Thanks Adam Silver.

[–] 11x_dev@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

how is it any different from a regular court besides the color lol

[–] Wishiwasaballerbaby@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

how is the league so stupid that they would let players play on courts with less traction because they want to design the courts to make a in season tournament that most people won't care about. play on the normal courts players shouldn't risk injury for this shit.

JB was like one of 6 players who randomly slipped tonight. I thought they said these courts were the same as the regular ones?

[–] Plies-@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I counted 5 slips this game. And he had like 3 of them. Terrible court.

[–] OguguasVeryOwn@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago
[–] Athos19@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Oh no! They're dangerous! We have to get rid of them!

[–] jpaxlux@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

We can't have a little bit of parquet on the floor but they can have an ice rink lmao

these courts are not ok dude

[–] Kind_Development708@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Wasn’t Brown the player that said something along the lines of “I was worried about the traction on these new courts but their good” like last week?

Jack Armstrong was laughing at Jaylen for traveling on a previous possession and "blaming it on the court."

Maybe the all star was right, Jack.

[–] saltface14@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

When the Leafs play here the ice fucking sucks, when they go to Sweden they give the Raptors a proper ice rink to play on. Go figure.

[–] Unlikely-Bit-240@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Bron not so crazy for scuffing the floor the other night.

I really dislike jaylen for a few reasons but this is fuckin sucks, I pulled my groin years ago and it’s such a finicky recovery. I still re strain it from time to time and I never had any issues before

[–] mrberners@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

$300 million for a man who can't move any better than a toddler

[–] ChaseBank5@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

This is crazy cause I just watched Keyonte George slip and fall awkwardly on our tournament court.

Wonder if there's something up with these courts.

[–] desirox@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I can’t say enough, NBA rushed this whole concept, the courts were not ready

[–] ExpectedOutcome2@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

The only other time I’ve seen an NBA court make an indent like that was a Zion dunk on a practice court.

I don’t know if this is true, but I assumed practice courts were softer after I saw that video because of how crazy it was.

[–] The-Pharcyde@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

silver and the nba dumb as hell for these courts

[–] ronocyorlik@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

he fell earlier too in a very similar way

[–] JaCrispy_Vulcano@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Haliburton slipped on it the first game too. If anything happens to him, I riot.

[–] Fr0_oz3n@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I know r/nba wants this narrative that the new courts are causing injuries, but I feel like players slipped all the time on the normal courts.

[–] dbinkowski@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Mavs skipped using theirs for the first in season tournament home game due to similar issues, right?

These courts are so insanely bad.

This is beneath the NBA. Silver should be fired over this bullshit tournament

[–] GunnerRocket@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

It's like George Costanza's idea for cotton uniforms.

[–] dBlock845@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I'm not surprised, these courts look like injury hell. I can't stand most of these courts as a viewer they too bright, especially with the lights off.

[–] MilkyMozzTits@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I still fail to see the purpose of these “in season tournaments” other than Lord Silver wanting more money.

[–] DSmooth425@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Bernice ain’t gon be happy about that

[–] cantaloupe_daydreams@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Happened throughout the bulls game tonight too

[–] D_G_C_22@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Luka did say the other day they were slippery

[–] JimBeefLakeMonster@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Is it a vinyl wrap kind of thing? Why so slippery?

[–] mbr902000@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Its fucking ugly as all hell to top it off

[–] oyputuhs@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

The courts are fine, I’m watching three games right now and no one is sliding around. Just watched four other games before this.

[–] Psyese@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

But they said the surface is the same, colour is one layer below. Did they lie?
