The 2023-2024 NBA Season

I don’t think Jokic defense is as bad as you make it. I think he plays decent team defense. Yeah his man to man defense is probably below average but I think his defense is ok. Maybe he knows how to turn on a switch

an interesting topic would be how would he fare in the 90s game?

If they could clear out and he had to guard Ewing or Olajuwon one on one

So maybe they should do as stakes suggested? Maybe limit him to 50 games to make sure he is as healthy as he can be come playoffs time?

I’m 110% agreement on that but my number is 60.

They really need to give up the MVP concerns and focus on the team success.

He just looks like a walking torn MCL...someone phrased it perfectly...he's very heavy footed.

He's a bit stockier than the Cs (sorry to refer to the 90s again) of years gone by. Which aids his game but makes him more injury prone.

Shaq was just a one off freak.

Also is not that you can’t comment. It just that your defense comment doesn’t hold much weight anymore after Jokic got that title for his team last season so no longer moves the needle as it did previously. Find some new material to shit on Jokic about maybe?

Nope. Cause this is retarded logic. When we assess a basketball player what the team does is only one aspect of that. How the two compete against each other is a factor as well. There’s a lot that goes into it. Embiid does it at both ends.

This doesn’t change because Jokic catches 3 play in teams in 4 series and in the other they catch the Suns with KD CP3 and Book getting 8 games together before playoffs.

Also while you’re at it, can you actually explain why Jokic supporters and embiid supporters hate each other so much? I don’t get it lol they play in different conferences and both won mvp already. Is it that embiid fans are still mad about the mvp they thought he deserved that they gave to Jokic instead?

Looking like Jdubs little brother may be the 1st pick in the draft

University of Colorado's Cody Williams is top pick in latest NBA mock draft

University of Colorado freshman Cody Williams is beginning to live up to his 5-star hype.

Hard to take h2h into play when all the h2h games are being played in one place. There is a reason why damn near every team ends with a better home record than road yearly

Be interesting to see what the league does to penalize Philly, have to think that is coming. They probably should have said he had the flu or something.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

totally unrelated to all things NBA

why do girls bitch about getting stared at in the gym but wear shorts up their ass?

I'm gonna look lady...your buttcheek is out

Yea they will hit them with a small fine since he wasn’t on the injury report

Lmao I need answers to this as well. They know what they’re doing

 

[thunderc]

For those that don’t get to see it, here is the 5 minute or so stretch when Wemby and Chet went at it.

Embiid had 15 points in a do or die game 7 last year

Playoff Joel?

 

[trojanfan12]

I honestly don't get the beef between the Jokic fans and Embiid fans

To be fair, Embiid fans are Philly fans and Philly fans have beef with the whole world.

Flagrant 1 on Dray

Should have been a flagrant on that dumbshit

If you guys are talking about when Dray hit AD in the face, I disagree.

He swung at the ball, but AD moved it. It looked bad, but if AD doesn't move the ball, Dray hits the ball, not AD's face.

 

[trojanfan12]

IT WAS KLAY!!! That clutch enough for ya @thunderc ?

OK defense now

He hadn't played well, but as soon as I saw how open he was, I knew he was hitting that.

 

[DJ Fieri]

So nice, say it twice!!!!

LOL.

 

[trojanfan12]

I wonder if @DorianRo is watching this. I legit wonder if he even watches basketball at all.

He watches, he just doesn't understand what he's watching.

I expect Silver is having Dray over for dinner today as a reward for not getting thrown out last night.
