The 2023-2024 NBA Season

Making free throws like the Thunder have so far this year will keep you in a lot of games.

Still 24 minutes to go but the Dubs looked tired on a lot of their shots and rotations in the 1st half of this 2nd game of the b2b.

The weaknesses in Jdubs game are getting harder to find. I’m standing behind my prediction, 2 years from now he will be the Thunders best player and one of the top 2 way guys in the league. Prove me right Jdub.

Sga doesn't miss

Sga doesn't miss

I have no comparison for his ability to drive under control through multiple people and almost always get his shot.

 

[bksballer89]

SGA with the dagger

What was their excuse in the first half of the back to back?

Warriors will never admit it but they miss Jordan Poole because this supporting cast is trash

Wow that is such a bad read of the situation. You're way better than that.

Not really. The supporting cast is bad & steph need to score 30 plus for them to have a chance. As annoying as Poole is at times & i know he didn't play Warriors basketball for the most part but at least he would have his occassional 18-23 off the bench with 3+ threes. They no longer that scoring spartk off the bench

Will be interesting to see if the Wolves can put it together for a full season(barring health) and end up with a top 4 seed in the West.

They are good and deep enough.

Their bench is actually a strength. The problem is the starters are old and the one who's not just can't find the gear he showed in the 2022 playoffs (Wiggins). They don't have enough length or size so they can't rebound or play defense like they used to when they were younger. I guess I'll have to be satisfied with 4 rings from this group

Who can provide a spark in their offense right now outside of steph?

Oh no doubt he has to drive the bus but the ones who should be helping score are either too old (Klay), too young (Moody, Kuminga) or just not that guy (Wiggins). And defense is a bigger problem with the age and lack of length

Poole was not a winning basketball player

i don't disagree

When do we stop the excuses for Moody and Kuminga though?

What excuses? They are what they are.

I'm more disappointed in Wiggins. We saw what he could be in the 2022 playoffs. They don't win without him

And what is that? Avg basketball players? At best 8th or 9th men on a team

Wolves nearly went full Wolves there and lost it.

Also, boy is the NBA stupid. This little season tourney thing is already wack, but the fact the Warrior and Wolves play back to back games in GS but the second one has random ass extra juice is mental.
