2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

[The Q]

^ Hilarious. Vintage Smart shit-stirring.

I was at the game in my Pierce jersey and all I could do was laugh at the Hawks fans losing their minds over that one.

He got kicked in the groin…

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

That was an awesome game to watch...even w/o Giannis.
Dubs really needed that win..and they totally earned it.

 

[thunderc]

Paul has to take that 3

 

[thunderc]

I only see three of these happening. Maybe.

So 2-4

James Wiseman had a nice game tonight for what it's worth. Be interesting to see what he looks like getting actual minutes

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Sacramento Kings are no joke this year.
Mike Brown is a strong COY candidate.

I'm assuming detroit deals one of Bagley Wiseman or Stewart. I think they realize Stew at the 4 wasn't working. I think they can get away with Duren in there for small stretches because of his athleticism. But yea....they have 4 centers.

THT with 37 points, 10 assists, and 8 rebounds last night.

Bagley is a PF.....no?

 

[DJ Fieri]

The Lakers are a half game out of the 7 seed and 1.5 out of the 6 seed.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Bagley is a PF.....no?

Eh..sure. but it isn't working. His worst lineup combos are with Stew and Wiseman.

More often than not he's on the floor with a small 4

Bagley gets stats but his net 100 are horrendous

Stew's two worst net 100s are with Bagley and Duren.


And Wiseman is putting up nice stats with detroit but he can't shoot the 3 so him and Duren can't play together for more than a few minutes.

So.... yea. They probably end up dealing 2 especially if they somehow luck into Vic.

But probably even if they don't get Vic

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Further if detroit got Scoot... who is a slasher just like Ivey you pretty much have to have a 4 that can shoot. Because you have 2 guards that aren't excellent shooters who need guys to space the floor. Stew has gotten better in that area but he's still below average.

But then Hayes needs to go lol.

The team just isn't built right for the way the game is played now

Wiseman is the guy you gotta keep and hope he keeps improving. Still extremely young but he still seems like more of a 5 then 4 even if he develops a shot

Oh ok...asking because I don't see a lot of Pistons games.

This.

And he seems to be playing well with Detroit. Is that right @Stakesarehigh?

Man.

If you get Vic though?

You got your young core in tact already.

Cade, Vic, Ivey, Duran, Wiseman

Just need to sign some vets to fill roster, and possibly look to add a name free agent before you have to pay any of the young guys.

That could be something there.

That’s scary. The length that group has is tremendous.

Yep

Detroit and OKC could be really good in a few years

Vic going to Ewing all the small market teams
