2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

I don't actually

It does seem most are coming around to it though.

I have been stating all along they should have traded RW and those picks for Hield and Turner.

SMH.

48, 8 and 9 for the 38 year old and the Lakers needed every last one of them to beat the cold Rockets. He looks like he could play another 35 mins too

[The Q]

The ones that the Lakers aren’t even offering?

Q is just having fun….lol

That is the one thing I'll say about me.

If i'm here, i'm creating or facilitating discussion.

Whether you like me or not, my shit gets engaged lol (@msgkings322 has to be my biggest engager,,,,hi buddy! lol)

 

[The Q]

There is nothing wrong with being the second best player on a good nba team. He's still a max player (when he's not crazy af), but not everyone can be Batman.

hell you don't even need a Robin if you have enough depth (see GS last year or the old Detroit teams who had neither).

The Big 3 celtics and heat broke the field for a while. The best case is you get 2 true max players and you build depth around them (minus the fluke luck you get with a Giannis, Kawhi or even a Gobert if you had the right infrastructure in place) falling to you, for zero reason, outside the lottery.

I believe his dad played with the infamous (and dissappointing) stromile swift at lsu

That always made sense

Probably could’ve found a way to add McConnell as well

 

[DJ Fieri]

The wife just texted me she took a test and is positive for COVID.

Oh, man….

Stromile, Tyrus Thomas, Thabeet…

I thought all would at least be defensive specialists.

Bust, Bust, Bust….

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

The wife just texted me she took a test and is positive for COVID.

I still haven’t gotten it.

My kids did.

Not I !!!

But, I did get that super flu.

If Covid is worse than that?

God help her.

 

[The Q]

Oh, man….

Stromile, Tyrus Thomas, Thabeet…

Bust, Bust, Bust….

I knew Thabeet wasn’t too 5 worthy.

He got bullied too easily, especially by a trash mich st front court in that final four

A guy who had national news articles writing about how truly awful he was playing, and he just smashed them

 

[The Q]

Oh, man….

Stromile, Tyrus Thomas, Thabeet…

Bust, Bust, Bust….

I was definitely low man on Thomas but I really liked swift

Now you’re just fishing for compliments.

Who here actually dislikes you?

You and I have probably butted heads about non-sports related shit more than most.

But, it isn’t personal and I never disliked you.

You’d know it if I did…lol

People should be able to disagree and argue for pages at a time.

But, by the 5th page, it’s time to let it go….lol

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I expected both to be Robert Williams-ish.

Thabeet didn’t have great athleticism.

But, I though he could have been Okafor, the Emeka version or a non athletic Tyson Chandler.

He's probably bringing political squabbles into that assessment

Meka was just never the same after that back injury it definitely slowed him down

Thabeet, it’s really hard to say what made him miss. He just didn’t have it. He wasn’t the toughest guy, or the most skilled. But he had great size and was reasonably athletic for someone that size

Tyson chandler was wild. He was listed as a SF for a while and eventually ended up a C…not many guys do that route lol

I probably just learned from swift

Thomas wasn’t close to swift as a prospect imo, although similar styles.

But Thomas had size and athleticism to gamble on him, but not at 1.2

So, in the Navy….

There was a guy in my unit that had a, I bullshit you not, American History X sized Swastika on his chest.

Everyone knew, it was impossible to hide.

Our Unit was doing a exercise over in Seattle.

So, we took a fairy over to Canada.

Well, some of the Canadians were not to chummy and it devolved into a mini brawl because one of them threw a drink and it hit me.

My Swastika wearing Shipmate beat the fucking brakes off that guy.

I can get along with anyone.

I’m not the thought police, actions are what matters.

None of us have to agree we just have to be mostly respectful, which I myself deviate from, time to time.

Robert Williams is who I hope Arkansas J Williams can be close to.
