2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

[Iggloo]

I am still trying to make sense of a world in which the Sacramento Kings are actually pretty good again.

I lived in Sacramento for the heyday of the franchise, with Chris Webber, Peja, Vlade, first Jason Williams and then Mike Bibby at point, etc. It was a wildly entertaining team and yes, I think they may have been screwed by the refs in a controversial playoff game against the Lakers that remains one of the more serious potential examples of a major sporting event being rigged in this country.

I say playin.

I think the Dubs will pass the Clippers.

If the Clippers aren’t careful, Minny could as well.

But, not the Lakers.

Because of tie breakers, you are essentially 3 back, with 6 to go.

I think you finish 8th.

Sounds about right...

Dubs stink on the road and they play denver and sac on the road soon. Should be 2 losses

Holy shit! Never seen a gummy that's 2,500 mg. What I get from my dispensary are 50 mg's a piece. The entire bottle is 1,000 mg's (20 count).

Anyone dumb enough to eat all of it at once would be in for alotta trouble.

 

[Wamu]

His thoughts on the nets organization are completely different than kyrie

Do you believe any of this?

KD's the same fella that demanded the HC be fired and he wanted the GM fired. If he really wanted what was best for the organization he wouldn't have demanded a trade.

Wouldn't have demanded a trade if kyrie didnt force his way out. He wanted to ride it out because he thought they had a chance at a title. They had an 18-2 stretch earlier this season with him and kyrie. I think he was having a lot of fun this season in Brooklyn until kyrie fucked everything up. My only issue with his trade request was you can't request to only being traded to one team

KD had a hand on getting Nash fired, that shouldn't be overlooked. But ain't it funny how KD & Kyrie changed their tune and decided to actually play for Vaughn? Neither did that for the previous HC.

Also I find it strange all the shit LeBron gets for his career path. KD's doing the same thing yet not the same backlash.

Kings will probably have the 3 spot locked by then.

Kings are 5 games up on the Suns with 6 to go.

Nugz are up 3 games on the Griz.

But, still have 7 to go.

That might be a issue.

Would probably stop breathing.

Sure.

If this listening version of him sticks.

They say you can’t teach a old dog new tricks.

But, maybe….

Still, it will take more than 15 games to convince me.

One thing we know for sure is he didn’t become a better shooter overnight. He had a good night, that’s it.

 

[shopson67]

Here’s where we stand Thursday Morning.

Most teams have 5 or 6 games remaining.

Big games tonight: Celtics@Bucks (just a good game, even if tough to catch), Pels@Nuggs

Big games Friday: Lakers@Wolves, Raptors@Sixers, Cavs@Knicks (preview?), Clips@Grizz

Some others could have impact, but should be wins for the playoff teams.

 

[shopson67]

…at one point, Booker took 15 freebies, the entire Wolves roster had 12.

The optics are suspect.

Some calls were questionable.

But, I didn’t watch the game closely enough to say if they got Dounaghy’d.

Funny, I thought it was all about the Lakers OVER the Suns and other teams. These guys need to get together and get their stories straight, lol.

The entire team quit on Nash. Maybe him and Kyrie put stuff in the other guys head but there was a noticable difference in the effort once Nash left.

As for KD and Lebron career path, I agree and I mentioned it on here immediately after KD went to the Suns

Nuggs/Thunder/Kings some tough games ahead for the Warriors. Better not slip up on the easier ones.

That might be a issue.

I think Kings might be motivated to push Warriors to a play-in game after Draymond comments

That Warriors stint hangs on Durant, can't beat 'em - join 'em weak sauce. Otherwise sure, the career paths are similar.

...and the tears never stop. 21 years, let it go.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

I am absolutely loving this, even though I am shitting myself at the possibility of the Lakers not making it in.

Don't see the Lakers making the 6th seed so play in is more likely. Question is, would I prefer to face the Nugs or Griz?

Manufacturer should be brought up on charges if that's real. That's dangerous.
