2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

Yep. He’s unguardable without fouling. That’s 6 shooting fouls. For his usage rate, where he catches the ball, a league bereft of real 7 footers that can handle him all result in foul shots.

But let’s just take a step back and appreciate what has just happened. We are talking about an undrafted rookie getting star calls and you just invoked a comparison with an All NBA caliber player.

Unguardable, lol? Should've been MVP a few times by now you'd think. If that were the case, he'd average over 50 pts per game, unless his team has no clue that he is unguardable.

Equating and comparing are two different things. Reaves averages 4 FTA a game, Embiid 12. You're complaining about what again? Recency bias?

Gotta love when somebody throws out something that has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with the convo....

 

[fightinfunbags]

Since you want to play this game....

When was the last time St Joe's win anything?

LOL.

I actually graduated from St Joes though.

Isn’t it clear what I’m complaining about? I’m complaining about a marginal talent getting star calls over the last week or so.

 

[DJ Fieri]

LOL at marginal talent.

I’ll just leave this here.

Holy shit that’s insane. How can the league defend this?

No, it’s completely plausible and it’s not evidence of any shenanigans whatsoever. The Lakers drive to the basket a ton and none of their opponents do. They all just take 3s and mid range jumpers. It’s really just a neat little statistical oddity.

I mean seriously the league should have to speak on this.

Don’t hold your breath. The Lakers need all the help they can get to make it to the post season.

Made me curious about the 3rd quarter, I figured it was Shai and it is

Seriously that’s like professional wrestling stuff

We’ve just become numb to it. This likely happens every year. Purple and gold will always get the benefit of the whistle.

I think they should have showed games played as well but maybe that doesn't tell the whole story. Teams always in close games will need their starters in. Probably would add 4Q minutes played. I am too lazy to find it so Games Played it is lol.

Fox - 65
Kyrie - 53
Giannis - 57
DeMar - 66
LaVine - 68
Lillard - 58
Mitchell - 63
Tatum - 68
Lebron - 47
Bam - 69

Kyrie and Lebron are ridiculous for the amount of games they have played.

I better go bet the Lakers heavy tonight I guess. That’s some awful stuff right there, no way anyone can defend that.

Nearly 24 hours later and zero proof i complain about refs every day. Asked them to provide 15 different times in the last 2 months and been almost completely silence since

That doesn't even make sense. So ridiculous. Also, not surprised the Cavs are at the bottom as well.

Only recently we have made a couple comments. Before that it was probably over a month, at least that I can remember.

It's up there with the Pats fumbles
