2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

Oh, this is a fun stage.

He will be chewing on your ass like you are a steak bone.

We are leaving at the end of June for Nevada.

Sometime before then I am going to introduce him to chili cheese tater tots from Sonic.....LOL.

 

[DJ Fieri]

And the last month or so little guy really finding his VOICE.

I have always disliked Kihei Clark.

That is a 5th year senior who has won more games in his career than any player in ACC history.

Yes, a 5th COVID year has driven that.

There was talk in Charlottesville about Kihei getting his number retired.

Hopefully this play after a poor game and a shaky ACC tournament puts that to bed.

No way Kihei should be getting any kind of accolade like that before Kyle Guy, Ty Jerome or DeAndre Hunter.

Would be a real shame.

You'd think a 5th year senior would have better judgement than what he did. Just a crazy play.

 

[The Q]

Yep. Really don't wanna see a football factory win March Madness.

And bye-bye Virginia. You see the end of that game? What a bone-headed play by the Va. kid to just throw it up for grabs like that.

I think the kid miscounted the timing.

He thought there was only a few seconds left. But you gotta get the ball further down the court than that anyway.

He really just needed to get tuck the ball away and get fouled.

I get some of the theory cause I believe furman Had the arrow but it was bad execution

They mentioned on the radio Clark did something similar in the past (Purdue?) that won a game.
@tlance can you confirm?

Yeah, they have a ring. That alone makes more sense

Jerome was able to convince an entire arena he didn’t double dribble…

That kid had a brain freeze moment. Kinda feel sorry for him. Tough way to end the season.

Damn, Kyrie got dinged for being Kray-kray.

Im not taking Isiah Thomas over Tobias Harris.

Midget Isiah had a hell of a 3 year run before injury.

Nah.

It is wild how bad Derrick Williams was in the nba

 

[tlance]

So does Kihei.

But he was a role player on that team.

And IMO got WAY more run than he deserved.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Go Gauchos!
UC Santa Barbara.

Gonna be a tough matchup for them against Baylor a couple of hours from now in the South region.
( 14 vs 3 )

 

[DJ Fieri]

Shazam 2 was actually pretty good.

Scream 6 too.

I love the drive in.

….standout?

The great Helen MIrren.

77 years old and owned the fucking screen in a comic book movie.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

I have a sneaky feeling the Lakers are going to fuck this game up tonight. Even without Luka and probably Kyrie

No.

They can’t.

If they do, that’s it for avoiding the play in….imo

Can’t lose another season series.

They need to get their shit together!

The way they approached the Houston game was like it was only just the start of the season. It was embarrassing.

AD playing and they have nobody to stop him. He played really well vs them last time.

I have zero stress watching the tourney.

Live look at my bracket…..

@trojanfan12

They love to double talk.

Never just speak plainly.

Regular Season?

Play in?

Playoffs?

Next Season?

Click baiters, the whole lot of them.

LeBron James not close to returning from injury

Brian Windhorst: From what I’ve heard on LeBron James is that he is not close. That I was what I was told, ‘not close’. Does that mean he’s out for six months? No.Source: Apple Podcasts…

This doesn’t help.

Don’t tell the world he’s pain free. I get the injury management.

You have to think about his future, long term health.

But, if an exception can’t be made against the Clippers and Jazz, what’s the point?

Both those games have huge ramifications and you aren’t beating either, sans Davis.




The Lakers said Davis is still dealing with issues related to the stress reaction in his right foot that he injured earlier this season. “Even though he’s been playing pain-free, we made an organizational decision, starting with our team doctors, to hold him out of back-to-backs,” coach Darvin Ham said Tuesday after the Lakers beat New Orleans. “So it’s just one of those things where even though he’s playing pain-free, it’s still an active injury. So we have to monitor it and stick to the plan, as we always have done.”

The Lakers have one more set of back-to-back games this season. They play at Utah and then in Los Angeles against the Clippers — two games that could have huge ramifications to the Lakers’ fate. The safe bet is that Davis won’t be cleared to play in one of those games as well. Sitting Davis and prioritizing his health are the most responsible things to do. It’s also not the sporting thing. There’s an element of competitive dishonesty in keeping a pain-free player off the court for games with big stakes — albeit not the biggest stake. Privately, executives and ownership around the NBA have been worried about the overall state of the NBA. Ratings continue to slide and regular season games have never felt less important
