[Retroram52]

The NBA 2022-2023 NBA Season is about to embark. For those of us who are regulars on the 2022 NBA Off-Season thread, you can post your 2022-2023 NBA Season remarks here on this thread until April of 2023. This season should be just as interesting as the last in the NBA with major stories continuing to develop. Hope to see everyone here.

I’ll start it off with a prediction for opening night. Beverly going to get extreme guarding Poole and Draymond going to take exception. It can go anywhere from there because of who is involved, let your imagination run wild.

Would have them over Toronto and Atlanta and I still don’t trust Brooklyn, but the rest aren’t entirely unjustified…

Lol

The Hawks?

I can squint and see why some might take Cavs because of all that young talent.

But, not Atlanta.

The only thing that stops me from declaring the Heat as a bonafide top 4 team is the PF position.

Offensively, the Nets could be juggernauts.

Chemistry, injuries and defense....nah.

At worst, I have you 5 or 6.

They are a top 4 seed without any really significant injuries

I used to mock our former local writer and shameless frontrunner James Boyd for celebrating KCP’s new contract with the Lakers after their title.

Now KCP is on my team and am happy to have him, yet he has a new extension to live up to.

You like OU's uni's today, have they ever worn them before? Nice uni's, helmets are cool.

No it’s a new design, some players did it. Just wear them once this year.

If they keep Wiggins too, this is great. If this means they let him go, this is dumb.

 

[Retroram52]

Yea the Lakers looked like they are def ready for the new season. LOL! What a shit-show. Everyone suddenly is hurt including AD AGAIN! Westbrook's hammie let-go in the First Quarter last night against the Dubs when he was told before the game by Ham that his assignment of coming off the bench to QB the second unit is a definite. LOL! I can just hear baby-Westbrook wailing away in the locker room!

 

[Retroram52]

The Dubs looked like they are def primed for the season. Could be another season where they'll be a force in the West if they can all stay healthy-that is, if Green is throwing punches everywhere.

I'm curious If they trade Poole next offseason then. But they'd need a team like Detroit with cap space or they will just take on more money in return anyway.

Seems crazy to me but I'm not.paying the bill

Its worth it if you are winning.

That's only half the story. The tax bill is going to be like half a billion
