2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

[thunderc]

He took notes after the Heat went 40 for 40 against them i assume

Well he does lead the league for the year, but yeah lol. 40-40? Wow I didn’t see that one, no wonder they didn’t pull it out.

 

[The Q]

Portland out of the play in and basically tied with LA


#freedame lol

 

[trojanfan12]

He hasn’t played a single game this Season.

So, he’s well rested…lol

That would explain me not seeing him. lol

Heard something about why the Lakers are dragging their feet on trading those 2 picks from Don Maclean that makes some sense.

He said it may be because there isn't a trade that can make them contenders without AD and they don't know if he can be healthy for the playoffs.

He said that if they can be relatively certain that he'll be healthy for the playoffs, then yeah, you trade whatever you have to.

But they can't, which makes it a much tougher decision.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Yep. He got hunted tonight. At the same time, Shai was victimizing Melton too.

In fairness, he has victimized almost everyone.

Somebody should probably mention to the Lakers that the game has started.

They're easing into the game.

What happened to he is coming back soon?

Sorry, but that is a total cop out.

Either his injury is much worse than anyone is letting on, or they are basically dragging their feet on a trade because they fear AD might get hurt again.

He might.

But that isn’t a reason to not try to win.

You can either cash your chips and go for it now, or waste LeBron and AD with a mediocre roster.

And the worst part?

Those picks in ‘27 and ‘29 aren’t going to help the Lakers build a winner either if this is how they are going to run their team.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Gotta give Russ his props.

Dude does not cheat the game.

If you are trying to win and you won't make moves because your co-best player might get hurt, you need to trade THAT guy

Has nothing to do with his current injury. He has been healthy for the playoffs once since they got him.

It has to do with him being brittle as fuck. How can you win a title if you won't give a guy help because you're afraid he'll be hurt?

Didn't say I agreed, said it makes some sense.

I would be doing whatever I had to, but I understand not wanting to completely mortgage the future for a guy who hasn't shown he can stay healthy.

Kind of like the Westbrook trade. I understood the thinking behind it, but it's not a trade I'd have done.

Again, if you're afraid to build a contender because your best player might get hurt, you're fucked. You need to trade that guy to a team that is willing to roll the dice. Otherwise what's the point? Either he'll get hurt and ok you were 'right' or he won't but he won't have enough help and so why bother?

 

[bksballer89]

These refs are disgusting

Just made Dallas waste their last challenge on a challenge they knew they would lose because these idiots couldn't see that Mavs clearly fouled Russ instead of Dennis

 

[wildturkey]

Fucking Luka

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Luka with the Bazooka 3.

Onto OT in LA

 

[bksballer89]

That was terrible.

Dennis on Luka with Mavs down 3? lol you are going to lose that 95 out of 100

Should have never been on him. At the very least, foul him before the shot
