The 2023-2024 NBA Season

Bwahahaha! How the fuck does Tony Brothers call that an offensive foul?!?!?!

They aren’t good.

They are outstanding.

Just not the historical juggernaut Dude hypes them up to be.

My Guy…

He has been crowing all year.

Some of us have pushed back against his narrative.

In 2 weeks, we will find out who was right.

I actually think Minnesota is the team we should talk about being a likely first round exit. OKC roster is built for the playoffs while Minnesota feels like a regular season roster

I don’t think we discuss them much because they don’t have a vocal fan base here.

But…..

I said it a few weeks back.

I pick the Thunder to go further.

Outside of the Clippers, Minny is the most vulnerable top 4 seed.

 

[DJ]

Man you are going down with that ship aren’t you. The thing is when you say stupid shit all the time you might as well just keep it up.

That’s the team that I’ll be shocked if they win round 1. They need the kings to make it imo to get out of round 1. No enough firepower after Ant to win a best of 7 imo. Kat is the only real player I would look to and I don’t trust him

Just know that my “narrative” hasn’t ever been just saying this will or won’t happen. My “narrative” has been to supply cold hard facts of how the Thunder are doing things that simply haven’t been done. I don’t know anymore than anyone else what will happen, but I do know what has happened.

What’s happened is that they have won 50 plus games as a very young team.

That’s it.

KAT is the only current “ Star “ player that I trust LESS than Playoff P.

He looked at it on replay and kept it an offensive foul. Straight nonsense.

Two billionaire mortgage giants have brought their beef to the NBA

When Mat Ishbia purchased the Suns in February 2023, it brought the mortgage world's fiercest rivalry -- a yearslong feud between billionaire lending giants that has been filled with public vitriol -- to the NBA.

Read this earlier today, good read.

With 8 games left in reg season will the Knicks players with injury get enough time to get it together…

Knicks vs heat

Let’s go Knicks

 

[thunderc]

That’s it.

You know the game, go find me young teams that have been top 3 in offense and defense while shooting what they have shot, from everywhere. That particular combo has happened less than once a year in over 40 years. That’s all teams, not just young teams. The shooting and defense set them apart, we will see if it continues.

 

[Mecca]

I’m not the least bit wound up lol, just thinking about it logically. Me and Presti have that in common.

You and Presti?

Lmfao

The fall will be devastating and I will show no mercy….lol

[tlance]

Funny thing about the play in is it puts the 1 seed at the biggest disadvantage as you only find out your opponent 48 hours before game 1 while the 2 seed know their opponent by Tuesday or Wednesday and seeds 3-6 know their opponents a week before

Eh.

Any 1 seed that loses to an 8 wasn’t a real contender anyway.

 

[trojanfan12]

You can’t be this dumb. Lakers are clearly a bad matchup for them. No top seed wants one of their hardest matchup in round 1. It’s fine to avoid this matchup until later on in the playoffs

They are avoiding the harder first round match.

No shame.

It’s sound strategy.

Exactly...I guarantee that the Lakers want nothing to do with the Nugs until the WCF and if someone else takes the Nugs out before then...even better.

Man you are going down with that ship aren’t you.

I don't reside on the Titanic like you do.

Dude, you keep cutting and pasting the same shit ad naseum.

Nobody is buying it.

Outstanding Season, not historic.

Keep that same energy in 2 weeks.

Nobody wants to go full Dillon Brooks after getting snuffed in the first round.

 

[Mecca]

Eh.

Any 1 seed that loses to an 8 wasn’t a real contender anyway.

Seriously, how many teams do you see as true contenders?

In the West, short of a major injury, it’s gonna be Denver.

Do other teams have a punchers chance?

Maybe.

Out East, it’s the Celtics and…….?

Is anyone here taking the Bucks?

I am all the way off that reservation.

Honestly, even though they haven’t even qualified for the playoffs, I’d pick the Heat as my #2 team.

Indy, Magic, Knicks…

Nah.

Clippers, Sacto, Nola….hell no.

Dallas and the Cavs are my dark horses.
