2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

Basic stats like that don't always matter or necessarily translate to impact.

Westbrook was putting up 22\11\11 during his wizards run and everybody still thought he sucked.

Fact is, lebron currently sucks. He's leading his team to a 1-5 record and has poor on\off stats to show for it.

You know what else doesn’t matter?

1 random advanced stat used without context.

I'd really like Marcus Morris.

You can have him for....

Oh, nevermind.

You have absolutely nothing to trade.

You'd have to give us everyone on your roster, outside the top 3, just to match his salary.

Well, Bev and Lonnie are close.

But, fuck no.

Bev has been hot garbage.

Don't wanna do that dance again.

Will Kawhi play again this season?

Just when you think you have seen it all in this league we get more bullshit.

Turner begging to get to the lakers

At this.point, I think he's injured, not hurt.

The Clippers have made a habit of not announcing injuries.

They did it with Ibaka.

Made me think he was day to day and the mofo had back surgery.

They did it with Kawhi the year we made the WCF.

You aren't day to day with a torn acl.

Can't count on this guy.

Same

Unreal shit.

Looks like we all underestimated the Raps and Cavs.

Both look top 4 early.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Trae had a triple double tonight with TO’s lol. 3-13 shooting. Rough night

Win or lose. Playing like this in Milwaukee on a back to back is encouraging

Hell of an effort

Cade is starting to look the part. His drive to the basket is exceptional.

Raptors should trade for turner

Cavs have not had the toughest of schedule yet.......

I just want to manage expectations- its a young team that is playing hard. That goes a long way- just playing hard. Different in the playoffs when everyone plays hard every game.

Plus- they are gonna have to adjust once Garland comes back---- itll be great when Garland comes back- but they will have to make major adjustments on both offense and defense.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Bam thus far--- 17.4 pts, 8 rebounds, 2.7 assists 53.5% from the field

Last season- 19.1, 10.1 and 3.4 55.7% from the field......

slow start might explain some of the Heat's early struggles.
