The 2023-2024 NBA Season

[thunderc]

Yeah it's like screwing over your own fans.

And worse taking them for granted.

Good. Kinda tired of the load management stuff in todays game.

I used to be more understanding of the concept but as it turns out there’s no legitimate data that supports load management as having any impact on keeping players healthy or avoiding long term injury .

I was the same way at one point. But over the years it's just gotten ridiculous.

the most load managed player is having less injuries this year playing as many games as he can. (Kawhi)

Since he missed his first two seasons due to leg injuries, I’ve watched Embiid get load managed quite a bit. His first game back after a break of 6-7 days is always the scariest for me as he ramps it up again. It also harms his play.

Was Lebron sick?

I know he’s 39.

He’s not going to have it every night.

Still, something was really off.

Also, not to overreact to 30 games into that kids career….

But, y’all passed on Jaime for Hood-Shifino?

Ewwwwww…..at least for one night.

Let’s wait a year or two and revisit.

Lebron was reportedly sick over the weekend. He certainly wasn't dialed in last night. Once again, he starts resting on the court, especially the defensive end. After the Lakers cut it to 2, there were multiple plays where Lebron lost his man defensively and just stood and watched. I'd rather he sit more and be better rested on the court.

JHS is only playing because the rest of the PGs are injured. He's a redshirt essentially, like Christie last year. Didn't like the pick though (at the time or now) lol.

I had a second round grade on him

Shams reporting trouble in locker room.

Fire Ham and promote Phil Handy.

Handy would be a decent interim choice (and hopefully would be on the staff of any other incoming coach). Wouldn't mind someone like Cassell or Charles Lee. Hell, I wanted Cassell when they hired Ham.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Dead man walking.

Been telling yall for months this man was clueless.

Not telling me anything. I wasn't the biggest fan of them hiring him.

 

[shopson67]

He just doesn't have a reliable shot right now and doesn't finish well at the rim either. Otherwise, he has a solid build and strength for a PG and isn't easily rattled (or at least wasn't in Vegas, he's over his head right now in league play).

Handy is a veteran assistant and I think he would be good for the guys on the team.

 

[shopson67]

Woj says that there is zero market for Zach Lavine and that the Bulls will be lucky to find anyone willing to take on the contract.

Could be back playing soon, is going to the G league to get ramped up.

It’s gonna be Doc Rivers

You mean the guy the fake mvp let down?

 

[eaglesnut]

The league has so many extra fucking games that they need to do this bullshit.

 

[fightinfunbags]

You mean the guy the fake mvp let down?

I mean the guy that got out coached by Joe Mazzula, the worst coach in the NBA.

Embiid laid an egg

The fact that series went more than 5 shows rivers won that battle

Less games is better for every person.
