2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

[The Q]

If you want to discuss politics, i'll be happy to own your pathetic ass on the Politics Forum. I've been doing so for quite a while.

If you want to talk ball, i'm happy to do it right here.

You haven’t done either in either forum

 

[The Q]

Sure:

"We already had good-looking guys, no homo."

Not the same as having to apologize for being straight.

Anyway, i'm done with discussing this with your homophobic ass. If you want to make this political feel free to start a thread in the appropriate forum and i'll gladly make fun of you there.

It’s the exact context that’s normally used in

And yes that’s exactly what it means


But this is good looking, but I’m straight


So thanks for owning yourself

No doubt. Hey what's the time table on Smart's return, will he be ready to go after the A.S. break?

I think they're just playing it safe... he'd probably be playing right now if this were the playoffs.

Is Warren the clear starter? I mean he hasn’t played many minutes since the injury. Maybe a lower minute starter

Warren to bench would help. Craig would make more sense starting so you dont have 4 scorers in the starting 5

Nothing wrong with that. White's game was fun to watch. Let's just hope the key players are as close to healthy when the playoffs start.

That’s makes a lot of sense, once Warren gets all the minutes restrictions lifted I really expect for him to be big for them.

Yeah.

Their bench is not a strength but warren can really help make an impact

Here is the strength of schedule for remaining games. Philly and the Clippers have the toughest and the Pacers and Thunder have the easiest. I’m trying not to think about playoff seeding for the Thunder, but without big injuries it’s fun to think about because of how close they all are and how well the Thunder are playing.

Could be another loss. Their trade helped them but why wait so late. If they lose they are 7 games under. Not a given they make the play-in.

POR, NO, GS, DAL, MEM, OKC their next 6. They can’t afford to split games at this point.

Helps them just as much for this summer and next year

Added more guys than they could’ve using cap space

NO, OKC and CLE the easiest. Crazy to think OKC is right around .500. They have a great chance at getting a play-in seed maybe more.
Makes me feel good about the Cavs considering they have been one of the more injury-riddled teams while still fighting for a 3 seed now.

And another wasted year of Lebron. I get they are thinking about the future but a Lebron doesn’t come along too often even an older Lebron. I agree with them not throwing everything away for just the next 2 years but they waited too long…this season could be lost. We will see

Yup, hard to believe that the Thunder are 2 games out of the 6 seed and 4 games out of the 3 seed. That’s insane.

Also, tells you a lot of even teams other than the top 2 in the west. Beating up on each other. The trade deadline could definitely swing that though. DAL and PHX likely on the rise. SAC better finish strong or they could fall into the play-in

Wont be easy

Yeah I never got why they were wasting time when Lebron is on a clock
