The 2023-2024 NBA Season

[shopson67]

I really like how fast Trace Jackson-Davis has improved, matured and is finally stepping up in his role for the Dubs lately.
Very active around the glass on both ends and contributing like a veteran player. He's gonna be a good one.
He also seems like a real solid guy off the court too. Same with Jonathan Kuminga for sure.
Dubs have 2 nice exciting front court keepers there for the future.

Well, he is a 24 year old rookie and has pro lineage (Dale Davis' son).

Bet on himself and took the L

I don't know. He seems to have dispelled some of the negatives about his game to some degree, but he hasn't been consistently available due to injuries (and Ham's love for Prince playing any and all available minutes, regardless of fit).

I still don't see him picking up his option, but if he did I wouldn't be mad about it.

What was his deal?

What was his deal?

I year, $2.7M with a player option ($3M) for 2024/25.

Lol

Yeah he might stay

 

[shopson67]

Yeah he might stay

I don't know. It's just arthroscopic, so he could be back in time for the playoffs. If he plays well, he may still chase a better payday.

 

[shopson67]

He did take a long time this past offseason to come to terms with his options and sign with the Lakers.

How bout them Knicks

Very unusual to beat a west coast team still down a few starters

Brunson MVP

Thibs COY

Still not getttin it..

Y’all don’t even have thibs top 5 COY

Brunson beating Curry on his turf

Knicks could get to finals and y’all be pasta still a mooooooooron


And same usual suspects given me dumb reactions cause I said jokic is not a household name here in NY

These people here don’t even know what state Missouri is in

 

[Shanemansj13]

Luka should have been higher in the MVP race all season. It's ridiculous. He's having an unreal season. You could argue he's the best player in the NBA, obviously not the best defensive player but Jokic isn't either. He should be in the thick of the MVP race

 

[WiggyRuss]

At least the Cavs are going to win so Miami will stay tied in losses with Indy

Not that worried about Philly finishing ahead of Miam as it sounds like they are heading on a tough road trip

I was invited to the game by one of the financial firms we work with but have something else going on that I cannot get out of- pretty bummed.

Cavs are pretty decimated by injury--- but it seems on any given night they can beat anyone or lose to anyone.

Missouri is out there near Pennsyltucky I think...

Will you still be praising Thibs when he wears out his players before the playoffs start?

I don’t think this crew will be worn out.

Thibs manages there time on court well.

They really don’t play with a lot of emotion.

They just do their jobs quite well.

If they get knocked out at anytime in PS it will be because of the teams that are better on paper decided to play , till then the Knicks are now true contenders.

And even if the big boys decide to play, who says they will be in game shape?

Hart and McBride played 48 and 47 minutes last night.

Ask Josh Hart about the management of his minutes.

Minutes per game since 2/22: 44, 42, 42, 47, 45, 43, 42, 43, 39, 42, 39, 48

Fully aware..

Those minutes picked up because of injury.

And hart is a valuable asset to have. I’m pretty sure he’s happy as shit gettin those minutes. His value has gone up tremendously

It's begging for an injury. It's also Thibs' MO, regardless of injuries. They just got Bogdanovic and Burks at the deadline, only played 31 minutes combined last night.

Only reason we got those dudes cause we got rid of Fournier. Not thibs kinda guys imo

Cmon man, we can’t predict injury. They just happen

You can protect yourself against injury by not playing your guys THE ENTIRE GAME.
