The 2023-2024 NBA Season

[Stakesarehigh]

Bring bridges home

Or that lol

 

[The Q]

Or that lol

He lost a year of salary, he’ll likely be taking it from the highest bidder

 

[DJ Fieri]

Possible.

Assuming they are healthy?

I have them as 1 of the 2 teams in the WCF. Not sure on the other right now.

And this is all subject to change.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

glad to see they are playing well enough for you to be excited. I got 2 guys in Jbub and Dort that can make life very hard on Kahwi. Looking forward to the games in LA this week, won’t be surprised either way.

It’s still the regular Season.

Whatever happens is just for shit talking purposes.

I’m talking about the playoffs.

Memphis and Sacto put boot to ass to everyone in the regular season.

They got snuffed by veteran rosters in the playoffs.

Maybe the Thunder can be different.

But, I wouldn’t take them over the Clippers or Nugz based on anything that happens in the regular Season.

This isn’t exclusive to them.

Who here is taking the Pacers over the Celtics, Heat, 6ers?

They love taking the Bucks cookies all season.

Who here is picking them against Giannis in a playoff series?

I can totally see Detroit grabbing him. Obviously Siakam is the dream albeit unlikely.

Yep.

Bridges won't be a bad add. Not sure who else but one of Monty's former guys that is a FA. He is going to want to bring in guys familiar with him and his system.

IMO.

Right.

Trades are still on the horizon.

Look how shit changed last year.

I think Denver is still the team to beat.

Exactly.

The reg season is a marathon.

Things change in playoff basketball.

Not me, the Pacers are not the Thunder though. The Thunder are top 5 efficiency wise on both sides of the ball, not just one.

is his system fucking sucking or what's his system exactly

I was told there would be defense.

What teams that are less than .500 say

 

[thunderc]

I have to get snow off the driveway before the first football game, ugh

 

[Stakesarehigh]

What teams that are less than .500 say

Teams with vets like Jimmy or Lebron are going to find another level in the playoffs. Doesn't mean they can reach OKC though if they're that good.

Okc is a young team with almost no playoffs experience. Also they have avoided the injury bug for the most part for their top players

Regular season basketball is not playoffs basketball. Game slows down and teams are locked in on you

You still need the ingredients

Okay.

So, don’t dance around it.

Pick them.

I say they won’t get out of the 2nd round.

I say, as currently constructed, the Nugz, Clippers and Suns would beat them in a playoff series.

I say, the Lakers are a trade away from making a run and they would also beat a inexperienced Thunder in a playoff series.

What is your prediction for them?

 

[bksballer89]

Do we just throw playoffs experience out the window?

 

[Stakesarehigh]

I get that

then play the one kid who can actually play D lol

we are 3 and 35

go see what Thompson gives you

you stubborn fuck.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Yeah.....gonna take more than 1 season to implement everything. And you have to have guys who can play defense.
