2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

Well.....it took the Cavs like 5 years to get there but as an organization today they are doing better than Lebron or Kyrie.

If you're about regular season success, sure.

I was about to change the channel, then remembered the game wasn't over. lol

I wanted to turn off even earlier, but kept watching for Lebron (and the Lakers have made late pushes in most games these past few weeks).

That, combined with Lebron talking with him on mic about loving him, don't worry. Is he going to be traded, or just going through some personal shit?

The effort is on or off with him. Could he still be injured? Possibly or maybe it’s more. He just isn’t the same player when they won the title. Could be a combo of things: he thinks this team is garbage now, Russ is killing it, injuries, etc.

I mean..I don't disagree but that's somewhat independent of the point of the Cavs immediately being better minus kyrie.

Russ is taking entirely too much shit imo.

His off/on splits are not that bad. Almost negligible.

Yes there are some games that he's blown...but end of day they don't have the depth to put him closer to the 20 to 24 mins he should be playing

I agree, he takes all the shit bc even with his bad shot selection and dumb TO’s this team is still not a playoff team or contender.

He had been very good prior to his latest injury, and much better than last night since coming back. Reports are that teams are inquiring with the Lakers about a potential trade, but the Lakers have been rejecting them thus far.

I know they won't trade him but I would at least look into it and see what you can acquire

Toronto could be tearing it all down, Durant could be available, who knows?

 

[The Q]

Warriors talk

Warriors trade rumors: James Wiseman deal becoming more realistic, could save defending champs $131 million

They need to stop overrating him and figure it out

The thread the needle aged poorly

Fortunately for them Tatum shit his pants in last years finals

He shows that he's a rookie coach many times a game. Can only hope he improves or gets help from his assistants.

Yeah....why I wanted a seasoned vet.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Like, fuck Lebron and his China shit.

But, was this really necessary to do IMMEDIATELY after he broke the record?

I can’t stand this shitbird.

You aren’t in the NBA because you talk too much and you have never played a lick of defense.

Cap and Shaq apparently squashed their beef this week too.

Is that Wiggy's alternate account name?

Problem is, seasoned vets are only available because they were fired from their last job.

 

[Wamu]

Everything is always about him.

Kyrie Irving: I was 'really disrespected' by Brooklyn Nets (from nba-.com 2/7/23)

"I'm going to a place where I'm celebrated and not just tolerated"

And why did he feel disrespected? His answer- "That's another day where I can go into detail about it."

What could they possibly get in return? Expirings and a protected pick? Or take on someone else's problem?
