2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

I get what you’re saying, but, they won multiple titles with that core. I refuse to believe they can’t do it again. Good luck for the rest of the season.

That core has never won without significant pieces around them. Look at the other teams, Milwaukee, Boston....come on dude

Meanwhile, a week ago, JJ said Jokic was the runaway MVP. JJ has fully leaned into being a media guy now. Throws out a take last week and now he’s already thrown it away and embraced another take.

This mvp race talk feels like a presidential debate and i don't like it

It’s become toxic. It’s one thing for me to fuck around saying shit like Perk said when it’s just like 20 (maybe less) of us but when the national discussion turns to race with this stuff it’s gone too far. The next thing I’m gonna say im also guilty of: in order to prop up a player part of it has become running down another player when you get into that back and forth. Joker Giannis Embiid are all great players and deserve the recognition. NBA is lucky to have these great players. Giannis was a fucking beast last night. (I gotta be me and point out yet again one of the East’s best totally shits on one of the West’s best yet again).

Kinda accurate

I heard Jokic is the source who found Hunter Biden’s laptop and Giannis organized the 1/6 insurrection.

Just a joke @trojanfan12 . Don’t tase me bro.

Lmao

FYI….

After the tournament, I have you in 7th.

Lakers are making the playoffs and sending a top 2 seed bye bye.

If Lebron is back soon enough, there's a chance.

Jimmy not having that shit.

He has his Mickey Mouse ears braids in his head and he’s cutting them up already.

Gabe has 9 pts already too.

Does Jimmy own a mirror, or does he just have blind faith in his barber?

Dude, he’s damn near 40 and he heard a pop.

Let’s be realistic for God’s sake.

If he comes back for the playoffs, it’s a huge blessing.

The rest of the guys need to hold the line and they can.

I don’t even think you need full strength Lebron to beat the Griz or Nugz.

Tatum is in playoff choke mode way too early.

He entered last night scoring 30+ in 4 of their previous 5 including 2 games where he dropped 40+

 

[shopson67]

Poole had a nice game for a change

role players are better at home

 

[shopson67]

Nice win for the Dubs over the Suns....123-112
Happy Birthday, Steph. (35 tomorrow)

Picture pages, picture pages, open up your picture pages....

LOL, you're the guy spreading kindling and spraying lighter fluid, but complaining about the risk of fire...

Last time I saw Middleton he just didn’t look right. Looks like he may be getting right.

No, but the new roster does need to adjust to whatever level of Lebron they are going to have. They don't have many games together.

and in the clutch.....?

True. At the same time, Tatum has had a ton of games this season where he is really meh from the floor.

Didn’t I just say that? I wasn’t really “complaining” about it. I was granting that it’s become toxic and I owned my small part in that. Like a Bills season, this post was a nice try that didn’t work out.
