2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

The loss McDaniels is bigger....

way bigger. That wall punch was the official end of the season. Which I suppose losing in the first round is better than losing the play in tournament, but not really.

Hahahahaha

Shit like this only happens for the Lakers lol

 

[jarntt]

Did he somehow start going higher after he was halfway there?

It's not like the lakers made the to vets on the team get into a fight or forced McDaniels to punch a wall. The shocking part is while disintegrating like they did they over came a 12 point half time deficit to win the game.

Why does this tweet read like he’s gossiping with the ladies at the hair salon?

Anderson did nothing wrong. He was just being honest

I guess they didn’t want any part of the Thunder. That has to be it.

 

[thunderc]

The TWolves could have just as easily come out with a statement that they don’t condone what Gobert did but that they expect their players to be tough and stuff like that is going to happen. They didn’t have to go ahead and end their season. I mean they already have done so many stupid things it’s not like they get any brownie points for this.

Again…why would Portland even want that? They would have to now wait five years just to be 3 years away. Portland fucks up if they don’t trade the Dame asset now.

Because most teams aren’t run with long term objectives in mind.

And that is why so many teams stay perpetually irrelevant.

Just heard a stat for you Californians. First time ever all 4 CA teams have a winning record.

They also want to sell tickets though.

A five seed sells a lot more than a team tanking for the bottom.

You have to have a heck of a run to make up for 3 years of bad ticket sales.

How is it ending their season exactly? Like Mecca said, KAT is a C and not Luke Kennard.....

Now, the loss of McDaniels that does hurt.

…and all 4 will be playoff teams, unless the Lakers take a gigantic shit.

Well, since they are 7th, 2 gigantic shits.

Unless Edwards finally realizes he can be the most dominant 2 in the NBA whenever he decides he wants it, I think safe to pick Lakers

We should win but it's no gimme.

Y'all have KAT and Edwards.....that is a good 1-2 punch......and Conley is a savvy vet at PG.

Plus, y'all can start Prince at PF? Not too shabby, my friend. Not counting my damn chickens before they hatch.

Prince over Slow Mo?

Lets see. Steph is a more efficient scorer, a better scorer, a better shooter, a better defender. Both have great playmaking abilities, not a huge difference either way…so yeah Trae isn’t close

I stopped and stared at the tweet for a full minute before laughing.

He has the edge in assists.

But, I’m not certain that isn’t just a byproduct of Steph playing with Draymond.

Still, this just isn’t something you should say when comparing a guy like Trae to the best shooter in NBA History, who I have as a top 20 player of alltime.
