The 2023-2024 NBA Season

[The Q]

Not even close.

In 2008, Kevin Garnett was in conversation for the best player in the league.

Ray Allen and Paul Pierce were both all NBA level players in their primes.

Tatum is a superstar. But 1 superstar surrounded by really good players is not a super team.

Yeah the 2008 team could’ve won 76 games if they wanted to

They really started some of the worst trends in the nba going forward…even if it took others longer to catch-up

 

[The Q]

The clippers just became a contender.

This is bones’s chance to shine and get himself moved this summer

Spurs promote another long athletic condor type Guy I liked

 

[Sir Robin Of Camelot]

They’re damn sure better than Dallas… that was made abundantly clear last night.

That said…

That said…

They are said to be studying ways to make things more fair to the defense. Make guys learn how to dribble would be a good start,

Like the 2 way signing of Giles by the Lakers. Need big depth with their injuries (including Castleton now) and I wanted them to consider him before the season. Doubt he gets much of a role unfortunately, but they need that emergency big.

86 Celtics?

LeBron's a couple buckets away from 40K. Some numbers. There's more stats in the article I ran across- NBA fact or fiction: LeBron James scoring 40,000 points is more impressive than you think (one example- everyone else but Anthony Davis on the Lakers has combined for 40,138)

-Giannis & Dame have combined for 38,770 points

-Kawhi & PG: 31,082

-Luka & Kyrie: 27,524

-Jimmy Buckets & Bam: 21,689

-Jokic & Murray: 21,390

-Tatum & Brown: 20,958


The haters will have fun with this. LeBron sucks!

With Vandy, Wood and Castleton all hurt.....he could get some run with the injuries we have right now.

86 Celtics?

Jaylen Brown is not a superstar.

I don’t think the ‘86 Celtics were a superteam either. Although Kevin McHale was pretty darn good.

And Tatum?

No he is not in the conversation for best player in the league.

There are maybe 3 guys you can make a legit case for. He isn’t one of them.

Just because he might be next on the list doesn’t mean he is in a conversation that begins and ends with 3 players.

Jokic, Luka & Giannis?

 

[fightinfunbags]

Jokic, Luka & Giannis?

Take out Luka and add Embiid.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Take out Luka and add Embiid.

I would agree, he's a force when he's healthy...but the dude has got to stay on the court.

Definitely debatable though.

Best player in the league when he’s healthy but you’re right. He needs to be on the court more.

Anyone remember that old poster Kawhi_2_Tatum?

We all thought he was crazy... turns out, he simply recognized the truth before we did:

TATUM IS THE GOAT!!

Yep.

Lot of players I can make a pretty case to be superstars.

But Joker, Embiid and Giannis are a pretty solid bit ahead of all of those guys.

 

[msgkings322]

Jaylen Brown is not a superstar.

No he's an all NBA player like Ray Allen and Paul Pierce

Wow. See I put that team in the top 4 all time teams which makes them super to me. Who are your top all time teams?

And Tatum?

No he is not in the conversation for best player in the league.

Plenty of MVP talk (to be fair, most people don't put him top 3-4 for that)

There are maybe 3 guys you can make a legit case for. He isn’t one of them.

Just because he might be next on the list doesn’t mean he is in a conversation that begins and ends with 3 players.

Yeah I think in the end this Celtics team ain't quite there.
