2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

Agree with this. How does he look in a head to head comparison with Scottie Pippen? I think that’s the best attempt at a comp based on role they played on hyper successful teams.

I think Pippen is a better overall player by a good bit, but Klay is a better complimentary player.

I would take Pippen with MJ or Kobe, but Klay with any 1 or 3 superstar.

If it is a big?

Not sure. Probably depends on how well the big passes.

This to me is the only way to go

They could reverse course on him sitting a game too

I’d rather play the two man game with a Big and Klay because of his shooting providing the spacing.

To me I think it depends on skill set.

With a skill guy like Jokic or Embiid or Kareem I probably take Klay.

But I think I take Pippen with a physical dominator like Shaq or Wilt.

Pippen would set those guys up better.

That would be even better

Shooting goes to Klay.

Pippen shits all over him in boards and dimes.

 

[Mecca]

Wrong

So, business as usual?

All NBA first team petulance.

Ouch.

[Mecca]

Ouch.

I’m still laughing at your NBA math skills.

You out here talking reckless about the Lakers getting a top 6 seed like the other teams are just going to lay down and let you have it.

What was your guess?

Wasn’t it something like going 15-7?

That would be a fantastic stretch.

But, it doesn’t take into account that the teams ahead of you would win games as well.

You are still a rats public hair away from missing the playin.

But, you talking about a top 6 seed?



Get to .500 before you start flexing.

It’s all jokes…lol

You should have known this was coming after trolling the Thunder and saying you would pass the Clips….

Not as simple as the stats though.

Klay plays off the ball. Pippen plays on it.

So if your star dominates the ball, Klay becomes even more valuable as a #2 because he doesn’t at all.

If your star is a creator, many of Pippen’s best offensive attributes are mitigated.

 

[DJ]

Late to the party and discussion.

 

[Mecca]

Please, just stfu, George.

He must have forgotten how Denver fired his ass and how he threw a hissy fit afterwards.

Dunno why people think you have to trash one guy, in order to support another.

It is as simple as the stats in this particular situation.

You have no other means of comparison.

@fightinfunbags asked how they compared.

Since they didn’t play against each other, this is all we got.
