2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

The playoffs will be interesting.

I'm a big believer in team chemistry. Not sure how much of that is in Brooklyn right now.

No matter how they finish out the regular season I'd still take the field to win it all.

Right now? Their chemistry is just fine it seems clear.

Remember with the Nets it wasn't the players disliking each other, it was Kyrie being a weird asshole and also not getting vaxxed, and Simmons not playing, and the team not wanting to play for Nash. None of those are still problems.

Are players shooting 3s that much more than the last couple of years? I genuinely don't know. Maybe pace is faster everywhere instead?

Good question, not sure either. Just seems like the majority of games I've watched this season so far 35/40+ three's are taken.

And harden showing up fat and not caring and then taking it personal when KD called him on it

True. But at any moment something crazy could happen in Brooklyn.

They should roll through the regular season barring any serious injuries.

The chemistry thing could potentially be an issue in later rounds of the playoffs.

Agreed but I meant this roster.

Honestly, that stuff feels like 2 years ago.

Today feels like March 1039th, 2020

By the time they get deep in the playoffs chemistry will be even less of an issue. I just don't see the problem now they seem to have figured it out

Biggest issue for them will be health

As it is for most good teams. They look like strong contenders but let's not crown them 2017 Warriors superteam level. Still 4-5 teams that can win it, at least.

I just be posting tweets....not my thoughts lol

I agree they are not the 2017 Warriors even if they do win a ship this season

I do.

Put in a bet last week with them winning it all

My guess is alotta people have bet on the Nets to win all.

Yep 3rd favorites behind Boston and Milwaukee currently

They aren't anything close to that team. Looking great on this streak but that Warriors team won many titles together and broke a single season record for wins, no comparison.

I can't trust any team with Kyrie, a switch can flip at any moment with that lunatic. Some injury prone players on that team too...I would label them the favorite at this point considering how they are playing but a long season and one injury can kill any team.

 

[Shanemansj13]

It sounds like Charlotte isn't in contract negotiations with Bridges. He is still a RFA but if Charlotte isn't interested it doesn't matter. He won't get paid what he would of before all this shit...seems like the Lakers could sign him in the offseason. He was recently at a Lakers game.

Do you think Vaughn's lack of coaching experience could be any type of issue in the playoffs for the Nets?
