2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

Genesee Cream Ale?

That stuff will clear a room with noxious gas, lol.

That’s the award now. When the “gang” sells out to purely statistical analysis to draw conclusions it’s going to favor teams that are middling, a 6-10 seed because that player is going to carry the load for the team. The player who has limited stuff around them that has to ball out just to get to 45-50 wins is in the cat bird seat.

And yeah I’m gonna be that guy…Luka is white just like Joker and Nash. When a white guy can do it, NBA media gets a raging boner.

Well, at least you're consistent.....

I always loved the word "scrappy" because it always always describes a white dude.

You've never heard dude from the Bronx called scrappy

scrappy, overachiever, floorburn vs aggressive, maxing his potential, tenacity lol

 

[shopson67]

What’s everyone got against perfectly good white people round here? Some of us are alright!

I'm having a "Better Off Dead" flashback, lol

 

[shopson67]

Meta was definitely scrappy but I think he was from Mars

Those two are scrappers, not scrappy lol

Lulz

Wait, Haslem is in a game in the 1st quarter? How many guys are missing the game?

 

[shopson67]

Ahh, Lakers. THAT is how you finish a game. Glad to see Bryant getting much better minutes (and resulting production).

Reaves srapping and overachieving his way to 22 pts on 7-10 shooting. Russ with two buzzer beater 3s (and resulting dances, lol).

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

I'm gonna keep saying it....ya gotta make your FT's, guys.




That is all.

G'nite.

 

[WiggyRuss]

when the Cavs scumbag trio of 3's (Osman, LeVert and Okoro) shoot well- they are pretty good.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Cavs are tough at home- like most good teams- 9-1...

some work to do on the road which is not surprising for a young team.

Good win tonight down some big men. I honestly did not even know who this Diakite guy was 2 weeks ago- but he has done a decent job.

I hope Love and Allen get back soon. Both guys are important parts. I would take my time with Love though- you dont want injuries spiraling into more injuries if he favors something. He is an important piece.

Though- it is showing that they dont NEED Love....and a 30M expiring contract is kinda interesting if there is a wing out there......LeVert is expiring too...packaging both for a better wing? We shall see.

I want to keep Love- but at this point of development on the team- you have to be open to a lot of things. The Cavs are only going to continue to get better this year, next year, the following year. If an opportunity comes up for a long term move they have to be prepared and think about it.

Heat made 18 3's and shot 45% from 3- and get blown out. Defense without Jimmy is MIGHHHHHTY suspect. Beside Bam who on that team plays D anymore?

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Reaves scrapping and overachieving his way to 22 pts

I bet that was unintentional

Blown out? It was a 3 point game with 5+ to go. The game was competitive throughout. If you actually watched the game instead of running to a final score and making assumptions then you would know this. No shame in going toe to toe with the best team in basketball with your best player out.

And they get to play again tomorrow.

Celtics offense is otherworldly right now.

Yep hoping jimmy makes the trip to boston. Sounds like he is close to returning

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

"Reaves is no good."

LOL.

Eh...

It's up there with Walker is trash, Nunn is a difference maker and my favorite....

Lakers can win , what was it, 48 games with this trash ass roster?

We all have our warts....lol

 

[fightinfunbags]

"Reaves is no good."

LOL.

Reaves blows

 

[DJ Fieri]

James stole Reaves' moment in the spotlight in the post game interview. There is a shocker....

Pretty sure I said they could win 48 if they made a trade involving RW but yeah....whatever.

And Nunn has come around on his shooting and we're still 25% into the season....still time.
