2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Everyone starts out somewhere

Yeah.

But, usually not together in those numbers.

Sometimes it’s hard to get established stars to do movies together.

The first time I remember that happening was the Ocean remakes and Heat.

If there is one silver lining to this year’s annual Sixers shitting of the bed @eaglesnut will soon tire of the NBA again and leave us all alone. I know I said this before but I should again. You’re shit, dude.

 

[thunderc]

Yeah even the French know they don’t want to play with Harden

 

[thunderc]

There is a Movie called Soul Man that I loved when I was younger.

That Dude’s Career would be over….lol

He didn’t stay golden I don’t guess

 

[tlance]

Redick preaching

He didn’t break a law this time.

But he allegedly has broken quite a few. Just hasn’t been prosecuted.

Yet.

 

[tlance]

Be the star?

LMFAO

NBA rumors: James Harden to decline last year of contract, will only entertain suitors with a strong roster that will allow him to be the star.​

James Harden to decline last year of contract, will only entertain suitors with a strong roster that will allow him to be the star

Philadelphia 76ers star James Harden intends to decline his $35.6 million player option to become an unrestricted free agent this summer in order to secure a long-term deal, league sources tell Ble…

Hate to break it to you…

But you aren’t that guy anymore James!

You can be the star, but not on a contending team.

Yet.

Additionally, it’s about him being bad publicity to the league. However, on this path, the worst is yet to come. Those gangs are no joke and some body is going to make a name for themselves being the guy that caps JA. Imagine waking up to hear that an NBA player has been killed in a gang land execution? That’s the path he’s on. Let’s not spend too much time pretending the NBA cares about the man and his well-being. They’re trying to avoid that story coming to fruition.

Such as?

Lots of stuff out there on the 17 year old he beat and pulled a gun on. I doubt we heard all that story. Doesn’t matter to me, professional organizations have standards, well most do anyway.

 

[The Q]

I get discouraging tanking...I really do. But yea...when the same franchise gets screwed 3 lottos out of 4 it gets pretty frustrating.

Again, this was the obvious tournament to add

Not some bullshit mid season tournament

Yep

Good call

 

[The Q]

Bro, it’s RDJ.

The internet knows, do not come for him.

Marvel fans would riot.

It’s social media suicide to attack him, Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, that Asian Boy Band or Tony Stark..lol

But, he did comment on it recently.

Fucking love this guy.

Taylor swift deserves all the smoke

Average talent
Great marketer

Horrible person

Ever since her heel turn post Kanye

Not rigged but I feel for ya. Been there, but we've also had our share of luck.

starting to agree with the many who are saying maybe shouldn't require blind luck as a way to get a franchise altering player.

It all comes down to scouting and how you approach the draft as a team.

Just look at the 2018 draft. The top two picks are nowhere as good as picks 3-5 in hindsight.

Saying "we don't have any luck getting a top two pick" is irrelevant unless there's a clear stand out.

 

[dtgold88]

It wasn't that long ago, I don't think it'd be a problem today as the character is basically made fun of for it, shown to be an idiot. But I could be wrong, the older I get the less I understand the crazy woke shit.

They actually did get some grief about that and Simple Jack making fun of retards

That basketball scene was fantastic.

edit - thought you were talking about Soul Man. If not, still a fantastic scene but never mind.

Correct....but was/is a clear standout every time SA won.

They just really time their suckiness I guess.

* shameless tank

 

[Iggloo]

Can be very hit and miss.

Unless someone simply shits the bed by letting CP3 fall.

or

It’s do enough to get a guy like Bosh.

That's all true, but I didn't mean historically, I meant in this specific draft. This may be an incorrect notion, but there is a consensus that the draft falls off after Wemby, Brandon Miller and Scoot Henderson.

I considering adding Whitmore to that class

His youth, scoring and and steals intrigues me.
