The 2023-2024 NBA Season

I take it back. That’s a block. Maxey up in the air before defender establishes position.

Ok Scott Foster

 

[fightinfunbags]

I don’t understand how one affects the others minutes

They’ve been using Springer as a wing.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Ok Scott Foster

That’s a block because they already blew the whistle. Because he passed, I’m more likely to let that play on if I see it live.

 

[The Q]

They’ve been using Springer as a wing.

If you’re using Morris as a wing instead of a 4 and small ball 5…you’re doing it wrong

 

[trojanfan12]

We don’t know that, don’t know how you can say that. All I’m saying is I’m confident I won’t have to say I was wrong for trusting their judgement. There are teams I most certainly would not say that about and shouldn’t.

I can say it because it's how all of these type situations are handled. It's not the Thunder's judgement you're trusting. It's the leagues.

The NBA has 30 teams each with a brand to protect and the NBA itself is its own brand. You don't honestly think that they're simply going to sit back and just let the team handle something this potentially explosive however they see fit do you? If this blows up, it effects every team in the league and the NBA brand itself in a very negative way.

It's the same playbook the league has used for years.

Team talks to player and gets their side. NBA talks to team. Player announces he has no comment on the situation and is cooperating. The team announces that it's cooperating and that it can't comment on an open investigation. The league announces that it is investigating the situation and can't comment on an open investigation.

It doesn't matter what team it is...the league takes the lead and teams let them because they don't want to be out on a limb if things go bad.

This Heat game feels unwatchable.

So no one has any business saying anything about the Thunder then? Got it.

Good first half, both teams shot it pretty well.

Batum or RoCo would slide over to be the Tobias Harris sub. They’ve played Maxey Melton Springer Batum BBall Paul.

Which is why I haven't said anything about them.

SGA is so good. Seemed like he needed a few minutes to get his footing but he had it going in the 2nd quarter.

I watch in awe, I have no comparison for a guy that can slowly navigate a crowded lane and always get his shot.

That bank finish looked like something we used to see 23 do all the time. SGA didn’t have his tongue out though.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Sixers are going to have to do it with zone with Maxey having 4 fouls.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I agree it should be

But it’s not a defense

Did not mean it to sound like one.

I am firmly against Giddey in this situation.

Death penalty?

 

[fightinfunbags]

Point Embiid has looked pretty good with Maxey rest.

I think fraud by the other party is rough to make anything automatic. Especially if it's in a place where you got in with fake id to be 21.

 

[Wamu]

This Heat game feels unwatchable.

Why is Sleepy D (Doris burke) calling the game?

 

[trojanfan12]

I think fraud by the other party is rough to make anything automatic. Especially if it's in a place where you got in with fake id to be 21.

Problem is that, based on what @fightinfunbags posted, fraud doesn't matter...all that matters is her age when it happened. Apparently, even if she showed him her id, it wouldn't matter.
