2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

I have to lol at some of y'all jibber jabbering about who you'd rather face in the playoffs.
"I'd rather play this team than that team yada yada..because so and so is a better player"...and some player on another team isn't as good so they should be much easier to beat, blah blah blah...

Fuck that noise. You get who you get....and deal with it.
Just be thankful your team is in the postseason.
Period.

Then let the chips fall where they may.

NBA equivalent of a concession speech.

Take the Kings and lay the pts.

Sounds like the Lakers are looking to give him between 12-15 mil per, which is fair.

Anyone offering more is off their rocker.

That is about right.

GP-II could be back tomorrow vs the Wolves.

Dubs' Payton feeling 'like myself'; probable Sun.

Gary Payton II, who has been out since Feb. 8, says he's starting to "feel like myself" and is set to return for Warriors vs. Timberwolves on Sunday.

Well officiating isn’t the best at college or NBA level lol. I’m sure it’s worse at the college level and then worse at HS level

Good move. They need him to be healthy for the off season.

Not that wild to anyone that's been paying attention. The dude is straight up toxic. He's not like some cartoon villain twirling his mustache purposely fucking things up and laughing at all the chaos. Plenty of players like him. But his presence will absolutely poison a team because of his massive ego and how he always thinks he enlightened and smarter than anyone around him. And that's just talking about his presence on the teams. On court, he doesn't actually elevate players. He's still the same player as he was on the Cavs when I can remember @tlance and I telling people that he puts up numbers, but doesn't actually make the players around him better as a quality PG should.

Excellent move. Last I checked, Portland had like the 6th or 7th best odds in the lottery. With the shortened odds, you're more likely to see a team in that 5 to 8 range jump up into the lottery. They definitely need to tank.

Utah needs to do the same. I see the tweet above that they are sitting basically everyone tonight, but they should tank the rest of the way too. They can't get to that 5 best odds range, but if they go on a big losing streak to finish the season, they could get in that lower top 10 range and have a shot. Tank now. Take advantage of dumbass teams in the East like the Bulls and Wizards still fighting for it.
