2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

[Yo Tee]

I think the entire nba world is tired of the Dillon Brooks act

Didn't deserve it, IMO. Inadvertent contact.

He knew what he was doing swinging that arm. He was pissed because he thought there was a call on the layup. Maybe he isn’t aiming for his nuts but he’s swinging there to hit somebody. He’s a marginal talent. Playing with the nasty edge of being a dirty player is the fire that keeps a meh basketball player in the NBA.

I feel like he's swinging to get the ball. Get his hand in between the ball and Mitchell. Careless? Yes. Deserving of that? No.

Would be given the benefit of the doubt if he wasn’t such an antagonist all the time.

What’s he gonna do with the ball from his ass? Haha. The man walks in as the whole man…his reputation and his history. He’s a bitch who doesn’t deserve the benefit of the doubt. I’m not even a Cavs fan.

I feel like things gotta be on a case by case basis. Does he deserve the benefit of the doubt? Maybe not. But just based on that singular situation, Mitchell overreacted.

CLips look good @Mecca

Sat around plenty of Heat fans tonight and it made me realize WE ALL HATE KYLE LOWRY

The heat this year are definitely worse than the sum of its parts, a big part because of how they have nothing at the 4

Curious if they won’t trade Vincent if they can’t move Lowry since it seems unlikely they’re going deep into the tax to keep him

 

[shopson67]

He clearly took 4 steps BEFORE the foul.

4? He finshes one just after he gathers, then two for the shot. 3 it appears, but that's a common miss for refs, and one that I saw on a Celtics breakaway basket earlier that game (I think it was that game?)

 

[shopson67]

Yeah…

It would be one thing if he got clotheslined.

He got slapped on the arm, it didn’t get severed…lol

Knocked the ball out his hand on a potential game-winning shot. If he got clothes-lined, he would've been at the line.

 

[shopson67]

I still think he should have finished and he missed a lay up. I bet if you ask him and he’s being honest he thinks he should have finished on that as well.

The slap jarred the ball from his hand, clear as day.

And the travel was a bigger violation

 

[shopson67]

A good nap can make you feel like a brand new man.

Usually makes me groggier actually, takes a while to get back fully conscious, lol.

Then call all travels, not just the one that suits your argument.

If the goal is to get worse then this is a great idea lol

Lowry cant even get 4th quarter minutes anymore lol...shit is bad

Are you new here? Lol

I’ve been saying the nba needs to 10x their travel calls since I joined This place

Carrying too

 

[shopson67]

Not really much problem out West with the all stars though I'd probably go Fox over JJJ.

But in the East, Harden and Brunson should absolutely be in over Derozan and Holiday

JJJ seems to be the one odd choice to me

Losing him for nothing isn’t a good idea either
