2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

Yeah I have to think that is not allowed, but of course Silver has no backbone

Teams can't tamper. I don't think there's anything preventing a player from actively campaigning to get out

You mean other than respect for who is signing your paycheck? I know, we are way past those days. That’s what agents are for though.

Thought you just moved to TX from MS?

Last summer. It’s a temporary move, we will still have our place in Dallas too

 

[Shanemansj13]

Lol. Can't recall seeing NBA players do this directly with a reporter. Myles Turner like "Hey LA. Please come get me"

Silver needs to look into it

A player is tired of playing in Indiana…in other news, water is wet

Agree....maybe Lebron gives the "come get me" to Donovan Mitchell when the Cavs are in town?

I forget shit....LOL.

Man, some of you guys are just infatuated lol.

I gotta better chance of being governor of Ohio than LeBron returning to the Cavs.

But I sure would like to see that because the LeBron haters would have a lot to say. And it would be hilarious.

OK, but I'm not one of them as I have made very few comments about Lebron or the Laker.....and it was just a joke, Francis.

Not sure if this has been talked about already (not catching up no 20 pages of chat), but the Warriors are beyond disappointing right now. We're 7 games in and it's not full panic mode, but damn if there aren't some major alarm bells ringing right now.

I have no issues with their offense. They'll always be able to find buckets with Steph, Poole, Wiggins and Klay. The issue is they are absolutely beyond bad on defense. This is some of the worst I've ever seen. Ever. From any team. It's just flat out bad.

Right now the team is lacking guys that just get after it. Full energy, full effort, 100% of the time. Moody has been good, but he's more offensive minded than defensive minded. Kuminga has the highest defensive upside on the team but he's been unplayable on offense. Wiseman's offensive upside is high, but he is still making a ton of mistakes on defense. J. Green is limited on what he provides on that end. Poole is a non defender, it is what it is.

I think at this point if there was anything I could place blame on is engagement. The team just isn't working hard enough. It's one thing if you're continually getting shots made while you contest. Its another issue all together when the opposition beats you down the court.

We'll see where the Warriors are at after 20 games. If they can't figure out how to improve on defense, they're a 1st round exit at best.

Wife's oldest daughter's bday is 6th, mine is 7th, wife's is 12th and Charcy's (the daughter we have together) is 22nd.....her 6yo grandson Elijah's is somewhere near the end of the month. Busy month for bday's here.

Funny how I add LOL, but somehow I am the one that needs to lighten up? Relax.

Lakers have a backup PG that really gets after it that is very available in even a so-so deal...

I said our problems were on defense. We're don't have trouble hitting the top of the backboard on bank shot attempts. If we do, we'll call you.

You're such a Church Lady I swear to god, you must have blisters on your fingers from all the shame rubbing you do.

Russ does get after it though. You never specified which "it"....

 

[trojanfan12]

No conundrum, and I'm not going to read too much into one positive Russ result. Trade him as soon as they find the right deal.

I agree. Hence the lol.

But he did show what is possible if he embraces that role. He's enough of what he used to be that he can be a real problem for 2nd units to try to deal with.

But end of the day, you have to be at least respectable from 3 if you want to be a contender and moving Russ is the only way for that to happen.
