2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

[The Q]

Does this really need to continue as an issue moving forward? Embiid got his MVP. Next year is a fresh slate.

People still wanna act crazy delusional

We all know its a badly flawed process.

It's almost like complaining about the RnR HOF, lol. Sheryl Crow over Iron Maiden? Hell, Sheryl Crow over anyone?

Embiid won in a landslide this year, really no reason to say any more than that.

Apparently it does. I responded to a tweet bks posted and said Jokic would likely win again next year and I cited NBA media’s reliance on analytics.

Like Trump won in a "landslide" in 2016...?

Lol ok I'll stop, the political board is...

Like Al Horford declaring himself an elite shooter at shoot around today?

Yes

Same level of delusion

I don’t blame you. You’re a troll. I wouldn’t have expected anything less from you than calling me a big baby because I made a comment about Jokic winning next year’s MVP. How can I get mad at you for being you?

I’m crying again? I thought I was congratulating you for winning the internet.

You're a weird dude...very solid poster and fun sometimes when you troll, but you can't take it even when you dish it out. It's surprising is all.

How am I “not taking it”? Please advise. You’re the guy who made a mountain out of mole hill yesterday. Are you saying you weren’t trolling? You were really fired up over a comment about Jokic winning MVP next year?

I'm talking shit about sports, and you're crying about it. You seem to lack self awareness or confidence, you don't know how you come across on this topic? I'd think by now you'd have a sense of humor about it, we get it, Embiid great, Jokic terrible. And you just keep at it, thread after thread, even when your guy actually WINS it. If you're going to keep going, you're going to get some shit for it. Stop whining about it.

You weren’t talking about sports (spoiler alert: I love ya bro but you really can’t hang). You were just coming at me yesterday and then again today. I’m here for it whenever you want it. I made no negative comments about Joker in that exchange so quit lying. BKS posted a tweet focused on who is next to get MVP I offered Tatum’s name and then said honestly I think Jokic wins again and I cited NBA’s media dependency on analytics. Then you lost your shit and came at me.

Are you ok?

Patrick Beverley says he and Russell Westbrook want rings if Lakers win NBA title

The former Lakers players apparently have some investment in the postseason.

Come on dude, the bolded stuff is amateur trolling and you know that shit doesn't work on me.

You really don't think your endless Embiid/Jokic takes don't deserve some grief?

I’m not trolling. Your sports acumen is low quality. It’s all good. I’m sure you have other talents. You present like a Fan Boi and you guys are important to the economics of sports.

That wasn’t yesterday until you manufactured that. I didn’t even mention Embiid’s name. You’re referencing the conversation you sparked when Q chimed in. Ironically, you’re the guy who made it about this thing that apparently triggers you. Maybe I am that good of a troll if I can set you off without even talking Jokic/Embiid.

Updating my priors, weak sauce.

I'm sure the Lakers will include them if they get that far (probably anyone that contributed throughout the season), but talk about putting the cart before the horse...
