2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

That shot the shit out of the ball from everywhere except the free throw line.

Just a great team win with Davis as the Alpha.

AD needs to be 1a for that team to hit their potential. Seems like they kinda figured that out with LBJ sitting for a few games

C’s and Bucks lose. Good day for the Cavs

Only 1 back of the Bucks in the win column.

Just get a good cushion just in case the unthinkable happens, AGAIN, and guys need to miss time.

That was the only thing keeping you from terrorizing opponents in the playoffs last year.

Not saying they would have made a deep run.

But, they would have scared the hell out of a fan base or two.

Worked out because it brought you Spida.

No coincidence Jimmy back and Miami playing well. Should have won in regulation. Tatum not stepping up in a big game. Shooting like he did in the Finals

Let’s keep the Tatum talk to a minimum. Ever heard the phrase let sleeping dogs lie?

Yeah.

He finally appears to be ready to take the leading role.

Even though he still falls to the ground 7 times a game, he looks healthy.

I never doubted his skills, just his motor.

Dudes a MONSTA when he puts his mind to it.

Big fucking win for Miami

 

[shopson67]

Yes with zero rebounds at halftime. Always been my biggest gripe with him, I mean other than the constant hangnails. He is showing a little fire I’ve never seen before though.

Yeah, he's only been averaging 16 boards per game over this stretch, he should try harder. Ended up with a double double by the way, out rebounding Giannis.

Miami schedule finally gets softer after Memphis on Monday. Most of December is there for them to make their way up the standings

They've been asking for that for a while, looks like once he got over that back issue that Ham got him fired up. Bev too, always on him to keep up that aggressiveness.

Wouldn’t have said a word had me not been the biggest guy on the court and go a whole half without a rebound. I’ve seen it time and time again. He can’t let up for that team. He is bringing it overall the last few weeks, they can’t win if he doesn’t.

I mean, he didn’t have any boards at the time….lol

No need to qualify the statement by emphasizing the rebounding.

He out everything’d Giannis.

When was he letting up? D'ing up on either Lopez or Giannis can pull you away from the basket. Both teams shot really well too.

It’s kinda like a first impression kinda thing for me.

AD took Giannis‘ lunch money in the first half.

Just abused his ass.

But, if you look at the box score, similar stat line.

Doesn’t matter that the Freak did a better job on offense in the 2nd half.

The impression that Davis was better was already cemented.

Same goes for Davis and his boards.

…..but, that’s just me.

Last I looked, you were shooting over 50% from the field and 44% from 3.

Shooting like that with Davis cooking everyone?

Good.

Lord.

What Davis is doing looks sustainable.

The shooting not so much.

Davis continuing to play game after game is sustainable?

Yesterday was such a shitty NBA day that I am gorging myself today.

Its been the basketball equivalent of Thanksgiving.

Watching 3 different games at once all evening.

They need to try playing defense if that's so

Reports are that the Lakers are set to work a trade (or more?) once we get to 12/15. Bev/Nunn would be the first option, and possibly a Russ trade to follow if something makes sense. Sounds like the picks are possible for the right deals.
