2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

[WiggyRuss]

Looks like we all underestimated the Raps and Cavs.

Both look top 4 early.

that being said Mecca---- Mitchell looks unbelievable- he looks better than advertised. 4th in points. 10th in assists. 2nd in 3 pointers made per game. 45.5% from 3 thus far which is bonkers. 50% from the field. 4.5 boards per game.

Through the first 2 weeks of the season he prob. has been the best player in the league not named Giannis.

Finally PG has come out of his slump. Win this game and Kawhi will then return and things will be alright.

I like the idea of playing Kennard more then Powell or starting over Powell. For some reason powell just plays loser basketball even when he scores.

Sign a center like dwight or any center before deadline.

Kawhi is listed as day to day, should be good.

Beating the Rockets at home doesn't tell you much. And Kawhi is out at least another week (they are calling it stiffness in his surgically repaired knee)

'Frustrated' Kawhi (knee) won't join Clips on trip

Kawhi Leonard remains out with stiffness in his surgically repaired right knee and will not travel with the Clippers for their upcoming road trip in Houston and San Antonio.

Ty Lue says Kawhi Leonard will not join the Clippers on the upcoming two-game trip to Houston and San Antonio. Lue said Leonard is frustrated but “getting better and that’s the most important thing.”

Coming off the bench was stupid, you haven't done that in 10 years so what makes you think your body would like being shocked? especially after not playing a year.

Uhhh, beating the Rockets?

Lmao

5 straight L's.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I'm not impressed.

Fuck you, Clippers.

It should not be this hard.

Ps. Gordon got fouled.

 

[wildturkey]

Ainge gonna have to trade half his team again. This tank job blew up

Lauri is a beast.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

PG & Zubac made that win happen for the Clips.

Happy for PG.

Not happy with the Team.

Wtf

 

[Shanemansj13]

Utah is 6-2 with a handful of good wins. Is this real life?

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Happy for PG.

Not happy with the Team.

Wtf

For some reason lots of good teams are struggling in the early going this season against lesser opponents.

Bunch of damn young upstarts and what not.
Maybe they're playing up to the comp...or maybe the better teams are playing down to theirs?

It's strange AF.

 

[Kawhi_2_Murray]

Win is a win.

Glad PG finally got out of his slump.

Now just hold it off for a few more games and kawhi will be back.

Same record as warriors, we're ok right now if kawhi hurries his ass back.

This weird Kawhi 2 Tatum kid is messing up your team. Him and Kawhi's broke knee...

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Dubs are looking at an 0-3 road trip if they lose in Miami on Tuesday which is very likely....and with 2 more to go they could finish the trip 1-4 or possibly even 0-5. Yikes!
After Miami they're @ Orlando on Thursday, & @ New Orleans on Friday.

Mark is playing out of his mind

 

[Kawhi_2_Murray]

You know what else doesn’t matter?

1 random advanced stat used without context.

Despite being this early in the season, i rarely see on\off that lop sided and be wrong.

Team Season Lineups

Lineup data also shows that the 2 man lineup of Westbrook\Reeves is +19.5 in 72 total minutes played this season.

I usually don't stick up for westbrook but he's getting too much of the blame. Especially when he's only taking 13 shots

Coming off the bench is not why he is out right now.

If anything, they should have maybe held him out.
