2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

Not even going to bother with the Nets-Lakers game.

Unless by some miracle they manage to hold Kyrie to less than 40 points tonight, they don't stand a chance.

Russ going to take over

 

[thunderc]

Warriors in the OKC tonight. Thunder with another shot at getting to .500.

You ever notice how self serving all of these mid year debates are about end of the year honors? How are they determined? A bunch of 5’6’’ no talent ass clowns who can’t play sports. They make their role in this thing more important than they should be. Honestly, who gives a flying fuck what Bobby Marks thinks? He is trying to manufacture relevancy by pulling one hot take from his ass after another. They’re not the lions. That would be the players who actually play the game and produce the talent that generates eyes and thus revenue. The media are the hyenas. They’re filthy scavenger creatures that can’t hunt shit themselves so they leech off of what the real kings of the jungle provide them. They’ll pick a carcass dry because it’s all they can get their hands on. Fuck the media.

Can’t disagree with anything said but leaving it up to former players is probably worse. A lot of delusional players out there. Pierce would be voting against Lebron anytime he could. He said he was hands down better than Dwayne Wade. Their opinion would mean more but I’m not sure we get good results in the end. The players are fucked either way

Russ going to take over

He'll need to. But knowing Russ in this case he's more likely to get double digit turnovers, than he is to lead the Lakers to a W

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

They can get Lowry cheaper.

Who gives a fuck about cheaper when it’s Ballmer money?

The Clippers need to stop going the lipstick on a pig route with the pg position.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

He'll need to. But knowing Russ in this case he's more likely to get double digit turnovers, than he is to lead the Lakers to a W

30 pts on 30 shots with 11 boards, 8 dimes and 10 turnovers is still a triple double.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Bobby Marks thinks Doc should be in discussion for COY.

He should.

But, it’s Mike Brown’s to lose.

 

[DJ Fieri]

He should.

But, it’s Mike Brown’s to lose.

I agree....

MB has done a really good job there.

Pretty sure Russ has had a quadruple double a time or two

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Sure, but he is also older and less of an upgrade. Makes no sense. VanVleet is another guy that can consistently get you 20/night. He will get more open looks in LA and he is 8 years younger.

You get it, my guy.

…..this was 2 years ago….lol

[Shaqdaddy11]
