The 2023-2024 NBA Season

[Mecca]

Sure man. Whatever you say. Denver’s had more than twice as many b2b games as the other top teams in the West. This game goes completely different if they got the same rest as the Thunder.

Bro, just take the L.

Not like you lost to the Pistons.

Thunder are good and top 2 in the West.

No shame in losing a game to a really good team.

Guy I’m looking for would have to threaten to be the 3rd offensive option.

Kuzma

 

[Mecca]

I’d be more mad the soft league has dudes that look him playing center

Could you imagine him trying to guard Shaq?

Especially when the team they lost to is the better team in this matchup.

My theory on Wiggins?

Whatever he dealt with last spring has him all messed up. Guessing he has either lost motivation, confidence, or both.

The Wiggins we saw who helped GS to a championship probably isn’t coming back any time soon, if at all.

I think people tend to underestimate the impact mental health issues can have on a players’ performance.

If your head and heart aren’t all the way in it, you can’t play well at the NBA level.

His father is/was sick.

Not to sound heartless, but he took a lot of time off last year and the Dubs stood by him.

Lots of everyday Joe's have family that's down bad.

Unless we have time on the books, we still have to go to work and do our job.

We don't have the added benefit of being able to afford the best care available.

Kuzma

In theory, I’m on board. But dude is a fucking space cadet. I don’t know if he understands who he is. I think he’s content putting up numbers and making bank on a shitty team.

This fuck is sitting on like a 16 game losing streak and he’s tweeting shit like this?!?!? I don’t know if I want these vibes around the team.

Also not like it was a nail biter

Thunder fucked them up

That could ruin the rest of his career. Some people never get over losing a loved one.

He thinks he’s a member of a big 3….


He’s not

Yeah. It’s not easy

They tried

But what’s the issue now?

 

[Mecca]

Especially when the team they lost to is the better team in this matchup.

They sure looked like it last night.

It's the regular Season.

The Kings and Grizz were killing everybody in the regular season.

They folded like a cheap suit against veteran competition in the playoffs.

Maybe the Thunder can be different.

But, I wouldn't bet on them doing this to Denver in a 2nd or WCF series if both teams are whole.

 

[Mecca]

He just stinks.

Don't know if it's confidence, family turmoil or comfortability because he secured the bag.

But, that chip year appears to be the exception, not the rule.

I know.

Don't mean to be insensitive.

It's part of life.

We have to try to keep going for the people that are still here.

No that would be silly, but this team is starting to look a bit different. The efficiency on offense just wears teams down and on the defensive end they are just plain pests. Dort can guard anyone and Shai leads the league in steals by more than a steal a game. Then if you manage to get by them Chet is there waiting. Presti has done such a great job putting this together, and he had a good bit of luck. What it takes.

If they can keep all the main guys after their rookie deals?

....all the way up.

Aaron Gordon would not have been the difference between ass whooping and putting up a decent fight.

Neither was a night of rest.

They got steamrolled.

The Thunder are really good.

 

[thunderc]

That’s why Presti gets the big bucks lol

 

[DJ]

If they can keep all the main guys after their rookie deals?

It's gonna be tough to keep them all after the rookie deals.

 

[thunderc]

It's gonna be tough to keep them all after the rookie deals.

As long as they can keep the big 3 that will be enough. Will be tough but it will be doable.

 

[fightinfunbags]

OKC has shown a willingness to spend at the luxury tax level.
