Hi Everyone,

The new NBA season is starting Tomorrow Tuesday October, 20th!

I meant to get this out sooner but have been very busy the last few months with work/family and the season ended up sneaking up on me.

As was posted at the end of last season we will be migrating to instances. Looking at the voting Piefed.ca and Piefed.zip are the top choices. I'm working on getting accounts on both, assuming there's no issues I think the top vote winner Piefed.ca will be the new location but I'm creating both just to be safe in case approval of my account takes time.

Once I'm able to get familiar with the community flairs and poll features I'll post a summary of how those works and instructions on how to set team flairs which will be a cool new addition to the community.

To the other Mods I will be adding all of your same accounts as mods over there, I don't believe there's a need to create piefed accounts but if there is for some reason (flair features, etc.) we can discuss that.

With the new season on us I'll be posting news/analysis a lot more and will likely create a poll to see what type of content people would like to see more of.

Please let me know if there's any questions and I'm looking forward to another new NBA season!

Update:

My accounts on both instances have been approved but are too new to create a community, once I’m able to I’ll create the new community and we can start the move.

New York Knicks assistant coaches did not receive their championship rings during Tuesday's title ceremony ahead of the season opener, while a number of team employees instead were targeted by a Madison Square Garden phishing scam and will not receive rings at all, according to a report.

The Athletic reported Thursday that the assistant coaches were handed empty boxes during Tuesday's ceremony, in part because they had not yet been fitted for the rings.

The coaches' reaction to the delayed rings ranged from annoyance to anger, according to The Athletic.

But for some team employees in Knicks' business operations and at Madison Square Garden, no rings are coming. Instead, they reportedly received an email last month saying "your Employee Championship Ring is here" that claimed that they could choose from a pair of options at "no cost to you."

When the employees clicked on a link in the email, The Athletic reported, they were informed that they had failed a phishing test and would have to attend a mandatory cybersecurity class.

Maxey, Edgecomb, Embiid, Brown, James.

Crazy.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

All-NBA and All-Star center Jalen Duren has agreed to sign a five-year, $200 million fully guaranteed contract to return to the Detroit Pistons, agent Chafie Fields of THE•TEAM tells ESPN. This ends a prolonged restricted free agency dispute between the two sides.

The ad posted to James’ social media account prominently features ESPN Monday Night Football star Eli Manning, Amazon Prime Video’s Richard Sherman, Fox’s Derek Jeter, Rajon Rondo, Reggie Bush, and Sue Bird. Celebrities include Alexandra Daddario, John Leguizamo, Craig Robinson, and Spike Lee. And that’s probably just half of all the people that Polymarket got on board for the spot.
