2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

Dude, I swear I’m not trying to be obtuse.


My post that you responded to clearly said SPECIFICALLY in the Case of the Dubs….

Your response was …

“Right.

And I am expanding further about why that isn’t so weird. “


It is weird.

Very.

And my original comment wasn’t replying to you.

Of course it is weird that the Warriors are basically the worst team in the league on the road.

I am only saying it isn’t weird at all for role players to play worse on the road.

That is all.

So not sure how you can disagree with that.

Have you seen enough of the J Williams from Arkansas yet to have much of an opinion? I’m confident in one thing, the dude is going to be able to guard the 5 no matter who they are playing. Will be good to have when Chet gets it going.

He needs to develop a go to post move.

But, he’s a hard worker and definitely appears to be well suited to guard 5’s.

Only problem I see is him getting caught up in the numbers crunch when Chet is healthy.

Dieng seems like he will have a higher ceiling and there’s also Poku and Bazley that could get minutes at the 4/5 position.

Nice problem to have.

Dude…..

Just move on.

You jumped in the middle of a conversation about one thing and are moving the goal posts to something else.

@bksballer89 comment started the discussion.

It was and is, SPECIFICALLY, about the Warriors.

You decided to Dr Phil the shit out of it by focusing on generalizing the topic.

Nobody was talking about the average teams road woes or the psychology of it all.

We we’re talking about the defending Champs being ass on the road.

Period.

I don’t know why you getting like this.

I wasn’t talking to you.

There is nothing to argue about here. Nothing at all.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Warriors road struggles is so weirf

He lit their asses up.

No answer defensively.

Curry with multiple, LEGITIMATE, late game traveling turnovers.

Bizzare.

No derozan and Vuc goes for 43. Weird

Seems like they just don't feel like doing the work of playing defense on the road. At home with the crowd behind them they get up for it, but on the road they are just whatever.

The weirdest thing I read was how role players in the nba, on the whole, play much worse on the road

This was like probably close to a decade ago. But it seems unlikely things have changed that much

It's true and it's weird. It's the same ball, the same court. Are role players really that fragile?

And it's not just the role players playing bad on the road for the Ws. They just aren't hungry and why would they be?

The Warriors @tlance .

Thats who we were talking about.

Getting like what?

First and foremost, I don’t need your permission to respond to a conversation that I was already involved in.

You weren’t talking to me?

None of us were talking to you either.

Yet, you jumped ass first into the conversation.

Dont get sensitive.

Im not trying to be disrespectful.

You inserted yourself into the conversation.

So, I can reply just like everyone else.

 

[tlance]

The Warriors

Q’s comment l that I quoted literally talks about

“Role players in the NBA, on the whole, play much worse on the road.”

I totally understand the basis of your conversation.

His comment was a general one, which I replied to.

That is all.

 

[bksballer89]

The day started so peaceful here

It’s still peaceful.

Disagreement is healthy.

What about the 5 before it and the one after?

What about the comment that he was responding to?

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Thunder are going to pull this one off.

I hate to have to switch to the Ravens game.

What about them?

Why aren’t you jumping down his throat for making a general comment?

He made a tangential comment and I was replying to that.

That shit happens here all day long.

And you for some reason going after my comment like it is out of place.

I didn’t go after your comment.

Why are you being sensitive?

I had to go back and look to see where the disconnect is coming from.

When I said we are talking about the Dubs specifically being weird and Q generalizing role players as a whole, your response was “ Right and I’m expanding further on why it’s not weird”.

Me disagreeing to your disagreement is me attacking you?

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Wouldnt get to excited there.

He will just sit out the next 5.

 

[bksballer89]

Kyrie really ain't shit without KD

 

[thunderc]

Thunder just played three games in 4 nights and are now 3-1 on this road trip against Miami, Philly, Chicago and Brooklyn. No load management, no one needed to rest their taint, none of that.

I have never disagreed with you on this.

That is what I am trying to say.

I made my reply to you during a commercial during the football. It was a quick reply.

The it I was referring to is tile players in general. Not the Warriors.

As I have said a bunch of times.
