2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

[Wamu]

Who the hell would want to coach in NBA today unless you’re guaranteed steph Durant dame Giannis jokic on your squad.

100% of the NBA players today are not coachable. <--

100% of the time you make no sense and you're irrational.

For someone that doesn't follow the NBA you sure spend alotta time complaining about the league nonstop.

Thanks bro

True

Tough stretch though, and it continues with Warriors/Kings/Grizz coming up.

 

[Wamu]

Thanks bro

Altering my comment? That's lame.

Altering my comment? That's lame.

What? No way

Mavs' Kyrie Irving- need to scale back pressure I'm putting on myself

He should say what he really means. Which is he don't give a damn about the Mavs but he needs to play better because he's playing for a new contract next season.

The Mavs are now 1-4 with him in the line up. All losses by one possession and the only team they beat were the Spurs.

It’s Kyrie so it’s not surprising, but what a horrible thing to say.

It's always about him and never the team. And it's been like that every stop of his career.

Yeah, but it shows how terribly out of touch he really is to say stuff like that. It’s a shame really.

What is exactly the issue with his comment? I have to think players put more pressure on themselves all the time when first going to a new team. What is so horrible about this again?

 

[tlance]

Lol, all this talk about guys going for 60.

There no defense in this league, what an achievement.

The 3 is everything, making anyone an all star

The 3 is now a set shot.

That shit would have been smacked into the 5th row the last time basketball was real!

Cmon man…

Um…

Teams guard the 3 a lot harder and a lot better than they did in prior generations because it is such a priority.

 

[Wamu]

Yeah, but it shows how terribly out of touch he really is to say stuff like that. It’s a shame really.

It's now expected from him. He's one of the most selfish and clueless players of all time.

We all have pressure, it’s what we get paid for. Whatever he has to do to deal with it quietly is what he should do. What good does it do to say it publicly? It just makes him look bad. I’d like to see the guy figure it out, but I find this ridiculous.

 

[thunderc]

If all the guy is saying is that he is pressing too much and needs to find a rhythm with a new team I could get that. Context matters I guess.

Yeah, no matter what he says he is going to get blasted.

But in fairness, he has kind of earned that.

Need D'Lo back urgently.

 

[Wamu]

His entire playing career has been one issue after another. Every team he's played there's been something.

 

[Wamu]

Need D'Lo back urgently.

Didn't realize he's out, how much longer? Hope it's nothing serious.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Don't think its too serious. He'll probably be out again tonight against OKC just out of precaution but I'm keeping my fingers crossed he might be available again against Minnesota on Friday.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Is SGA out tonight? I didn't know he got injured.
