2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

Warriors still favorites to come out the west everywhere.

That’s INSANE.

I had Denver as the #1 seed.

Did not expect NOLA, Memphis to be this good or Clippers, Suns to be this bad.

My opinion is the timing of Mitchell's test was questionable and didn't seem random.

Gotta say getting a chuckle outta so many having an issue with my opinion.

I never said I was right about anything. I didn't like the timing of that test.

I see no reason to keep this topic going for another day.

I expect a response but this will be my last comment on this topic.

Opinions aren't facts. And not once have I said my opinion of things is correct.

Except that your opinion has been proven to be completely wrong because...

The entire team was tested.

The league never said what you claim they did.

So, while opinions are not facts, they can be supported by facts.

Not only is your opinion not supported by facts, but the facts actually speak to the opposite of your opinion.

This is interesting….

Lots of teams still after Myles.

Myles Turner, Jordan Clarkson have rebuffed extension offers so far

Zion being out is not good, but Ingram is supposed to be back soon. That dude has been out 6 weeks. Hopefully he has been eating like crazy. He might come back like a lb heavier.

 

[The Q]

Russ?

Fuck no.

We have seen the PG and Russ show before pass.

The Clippers need to put either Powell or Kennard at the 2 and get a real low post threat.

Do that and Wall is fine at the pg position.

The problem is, they depend on George to create.

He‘s not Lebron.

Lue needs to stop trying to make fetch happen.

Not saying it’s ideal. Just more workable than him in la

Need to use some of the depth on the wing to improve pg or c imo

Or just sign a d12 and focus on dealing powell for a pg


Of course all of this doesn’t matter without kawhi

Exactly what I shook my head about earlier in the year when some acted like the Lakers could just blink and get him. I was thinking wait a minute, that dude is worth more.

It looked suss initially.

Kinda like when Caruso got tested after a fan posted a doctored photo of him looking roiled out.

But, I think it was conincidental.

Booker didn’t get tested when he went ham.

Luka didn’t when he put up a 60 point triple double days earlier.

But, who knows…

Improve it, yes.

Not give it away for a 50 mil per bench player.

@Mecca


What happened to zub?

Why is he a dumpster fire this year?

@Mecca


What happened to zub?

Why is he a dumpster fire this year?

He’s not.

He went from a 10 and 8 guy to a 10 and 10 guy.

The problem is, those number are only amendable when everyone plays.

They don’t.

So, he looks pedestrian.

We also need a backup C.

Batum is fine small ball.

Morris, not so much.

Everyone outside of Zu wants to shoot 3’s.

No low post presence.

Some of their fan base, and the front office, are delusional.

I think the Indy rumors had legs.

But, not for the pesos on the dollars they were offering.

Now that he’s back on the court and playing well, they are trying to hold onto him.

I wonder what their extension offer was?

Teams trading for him have to be willing to overpay to keep him.

It is what it is.

This is really odd. I can't watch my Celtics game today because I'm having problems with my cable box. Went to comcast and gotta new box.

For some bizarre reason I don't have NBA league pass which I've already paid for but now have access to NHL center ice.

Gotta wait until early tomorrow afternoon for someone to come out and fix the problem.

You should be able to sign into the NBA app.

Give it a try.

They have a complete team, when healthy.

Size, defense, shooting, versatility, depth.

Murray and Porter still look like shit some games.

Hurts less when Gordon, Brown, Bones, KCP playing well.

In a few years, that Braun kid is going to be a handful.

I really wanted him to fall to the Clippers.

Lmfao

I was on a plane.

So, I missed this.
