The 2023-2024 NBA Season

87 points between the 2 of them.

Probably get 75+ points from Embiid/Maxey/Harris on any given night.
But when you get 100+ points from those three.......

Part of that was the Pacers pace and inability to defend. If Embiid could play Miles Turner every night he would put up Wilt Chamberlain level season long stats. Embiid eats that bitch for lunch.

I think Nurse if figuring out how to leverage Embiid's gravity, which is to unleash Maxey and get the surrounding players better looks.
No more clogged toilet Doc Rivers offense with Harden holding the ball and Maxey in the corner.

I don't know if it will last, but the most astonishing number is how few turnovers Maxey is making.
Seems unreal.

Maxey's ceiling is Jupiter

Yep.

Guy could be a superstar.

Could have been better but I’m pretty happy with the Thunders 6-4 start. Rebounding, specifically on the defensive end is the glaring weakness but I don’t expect any early moves to address it. Jaylin Williams getting healthy is helping a little and I think Chet will continue to get better in that area. Solid first 10 games all in all.

B2B games should be played by both teams....and not give an advantage to a team that had the previous night/day off.
But actually, I'd like to see the entire b2b lunacy scrapped by the league for good once and for all.
A 68 -72 game season would be more than enough to compensate for the time element.

CP getting GP's minutes?

“They’re young”. Isn’t this year 3 or 4 in the league for them now?

Age is real no matter how long you're in the league. Kuminga barely played as a kid in Africa. A 25 year old with 3 years in the league is different than a 21 year old with the same time

There are always excuses to turn to if we choose to go that way.

What excuses? They are what they are.

Over rated prospects that haven’t developed. Pieces that could have been dealt to add depth and pieces to a championship contender but instead held on to and yet haven’t developed.

My point lol

This was the miss to me. They should've dealt the picks if the coach isn't going to focus on their young guys like they need. GP2 was a senior no? As in coming from college? Obviously Poole made a nice jump as well.

But as far as the raw guys with talent needing coached up he hasn't really done it.

I totally didn't realize Payton was 28 by the time he hit the Dubs lol

 

[Stakesarehigh]

He did it the right way. With his play. Now maybe if some of that would rub off on KAT

Certainly could turn out that way

That is a fair criticism of Kerr. Turns out it's really hard to do that and let your veterans compete for rings at the same time. Instead of doing both they got a 4th ring, I'm ok with the tradeoff

Thunder got 2 on the Warriors turf later this week.
