2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

[trojanfan12]

maybe I'm just too old school but i feel as though these guys sign these contracts to play the full season. This load management crap is for the birds...it cheats the fans. If you are healthy then you need to be playing.

The problem is that it works (or at least teams believe it does) and it's hard for the league to police it.

The league can't just start deciding which "injuries" are real and which aren't.

What does that pay?

Depends. Curry makes $46 million this year and he didn't even have to play tonight.

 

[Shanemansj13]

That's nice. Warriors have the most this year.

What does have to do with the current back to back’s? This is their 3rd. They sat their players on 2 of the 3 and Klay sat out all 3. So that’s 10 more games they are willing to give up.

I hate this Kawhi management shit

So we can all agree all this is all @Mecca ‘s fault?

If there is a more partisan crew out there than the Thunder crew I’ve never heard them. Michael Cage is the color guy and he constantly cracks me up, the Thunder never get a fair shake lol.

There some bad ones out there. Minny guys are pretty bad ad well

 

[Shanemansj13]

I don't agree with this.

I do think if you go to a place 2x then unless you are hurt/recovering from injury then your team shouldn't sit out both times you visit that city

It does suck for the fans. I get it if your players are recovering from injuries

Yeah to screw over fans twice isn't good

I get it I was just giving you the reasons. It's not just all the B2Bs, it's the fact that clearly this year their bench will not allow the starters to rest much.

Yeah I get resting some but all gives them little to no hope to win

And on top of it all when the game isn’t competitive then they get to see more of the scrubs from their own team.

 

[bksballer89]

This is such a dumb basketball team

 

[Shanemansj13]

Rudy earned his paycheck tonight with 4 big FT’s but still boggles my mind you can pay a player $40M/yr that will have 0 FG attempts

 

[bksballer89]

1-7 on the road.

Bad basketball team

 

[bksballer89]

Team dropped the ball in the offseason by worrying about Durant and bringing back a broken Oladipo

 

[msgkings322]

In the West right now 2 1/2 games (only 2 in the loss column) separate the 1 seed Jazz from the 10 seed Twolves

Everyone has the same record basically lol

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Hottest team in the league right now is the Sacramento Kings.
They've won 6 in a row...and are 8-2 in their last 10 games.
Mike Brown has them playing some good ball.
Now they hit the road for 3 tough ones.....at Memphis on Tuesday, Atlanta on Wed, then up to Boston on Fri.
If they take 2 of 3 then all bets are off....lol

 

[Sparhawk]

My sources are saying Doc Rivers and Sixers have agreed to mutually part ways.
But, there's nothing online.

Stay tuned.
Probably a joke.

Ime Udoka doesn’t count as a source

 

[bksballer89]

Yep had he decided to show up a little bit vs Washington or last night then they win 2 of these games

My strength and conditioning coach source must not be a good one.
Apologies.
