2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Unless they hit on a surprise player out of the G-league, the options are limited. To be playoff eligible, buyouts need to be completed today. Can still sign with their new team later though.

Here’s what’s available and guys rumored to go in the clearance bin.

Maybe Thad Young?

Not sure why the Raps would buy him out while they are in the playoff mix.

Don’t know about Philly buying out Forkam after Tobias limping off the court either.

So, 10 day on Barton is the way to go as of now.

Another dude who got paid and gives no fucks

Dude is getting dealt.

Knicks might as well go all in if Beal doesn’t shake lose this summer.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Dame has only been named 1st team once.

That's just insane.

It’s actually understandable when you remember the guard depth.

It’s the same reason he had issues getting a fair shake on Team USA early on.

He was never going to supplant Kyrie with Coach K having a voice.

A lifetime in Cleveland will do that to a man

Being an over the top super-homer doesn't help his condition.

And that's why Coach Kruzawooooski didn't know what the hell he was doing. Okay that's total bullshit. As nauseous as dook makes me he's the bestest CBB coach of all time. Yuck.

 

[thunderc]

No.

That’s my point.

There needs to be a happy medium with him.

Clearly his pain threshold is as super human as the rest of him.

Someone needs to be able to save him from himself in these types of situations.

Im not blaming Ham.

I honestly would like to know if in those situations going ahead and playing the rest of the game lengthens the process. I have a hard time believing it doesn’t make a difference.

This is the difference between you/me and the rest of the super homer/haters.

We admit our clear bias and disdain.

Yet, it doesn’t supersede our common sense.

It's funny he cracking on ANT's love of Popeyes but at least dude is out there.

KAT didn't miss a game his first 3 years.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Ffs!!!

Still? Damn. I guess I got it all out of my system. I’ve had it like 4 times lol

 

[Shanemansj13]

I didn’t, it happened right before his normal injury.

If he puts too much effort in he will eventually be looking from the bench with Lebron. They need him to stay healthy the rest of the season

If it did not make a difference then, why does it make a difference going forward?

A strain can quickly become a significant tear.

I guess it’s kinda like a boxer breaking his hand mid fight.

Shit numbs up and you can push thru it until the fight ends.

But, you can’t get medically cleared for the next one until the damage is repaired.

 

[Shanemansj13]

That man will fall apart by game 5

At least you are optimistic he lasts that long

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Been awhile since I recall going into the protocol.

Or, maybe I’m just not paying attention…

Exactly.

Like Chuck said KD's. Mr. Miserable. And I'm saying Kyrie's simply crazy. But those facts won't get me to try and diminish their 1st ballot HOF careers.

One is a cold blooded assassin on the court. And the other has the best handles I can remember.

 

[Wamu]

Wiggy is just eternally bitter.

That's what happens when someone has their head jammed up their rear end. Cleveland Clinic offers head outta ass removal surgery. He should look into it.

I also think it's likely a fair thought that KAT doesn't like it there as much since they traded practically the entire team.

KAT for Luke Kornet seems totally legit to me.

For the one game I don't think it much matters. But pushing through it can cause all kinds of issues

See Grant Hill

Being reported here in the OKC that Lebron is likely going to miss the rest of the regular season.
