The 2023-2024 NBA Season

Trashing the other guy is what we do 75-80% of the time. Have to find that spot to artificially pump yourself up (no homo).

It really sounds like you want to go put it all on the Pelicans. Go for it.

And it looks like you want to put it all on the Thunder as if the Pels D had nothing to do with it.

How much we betting?

Siakam does have 17 but you have to think he won’t play the entire game in a blowout

went back and forth between Haliburton and shai.

Oops....did ya get it?

 

[shopson67]

I predicted 6 game series in both, I don’t think the Lakers are done.

I wouldn't say done, but it also doesn't appear that they've adjusted AT ALL.

 

[dtgold88]

Most in pretty dominant fashion also

wont mind if that continues.

You want to take your chances in a 7 game series?

Game 2 going to tell us a lot in both series

Meaning it goes 7? No thanks.

The thread was about home teams winning convincingly. Thus, 7 game series across the board...

Gotcha...yeah my comment was about extending that just one more game. It can end for game 3 and that would be fine.

Not sure what adjustments you make when guys just miss open shots. D-Lo took 20 shots yesterday and all but 3 or 4 were ones he normally makes. Same with Reaves. Maybe find a way to get Rui open more. They held him to 7 points.

They actually held Murray down fairly well, but apparently forgot about MPJ. lol

Not really forgot, there's only so many players you can lock down, if they have lots of options they are going to be tough. Hence the recent title.

Yep. Pick your poison. As I posted earlier, the stars pretty well cancelled each other out. Then the Nuggets "next 3" outplayed the Lakers "next 3".

Idk OKC was leaving Herb Jones nude (maybe their strategy) and the guy missed a ton of shots. OKC defense was good but the two points in that game. NO could not make open shots and the Thunder could not rebound. I expect both teams to shoot a little better at least but the boards is a concern for OKC.

Certainly the biggest concern about Jones is his defense on Shai, he makes things tough. I too expect better shooting. Been talking about the rebounding all season but in the end the overall advantage was only 8.

Saw SGA for the first time last night

Limited play but to compare him to
MJ. Is a little ridiculous

Who the hell do you think did that lol?

 

[Shanemansj13]

No road wins yet. Kinda crazy. I’m sure one team will get one tomorrow. Clean sweep 2-0? Can’t remember seeing that ever
