The 2023-2024 NBA Season

[fightinfunbags]

Nah. I got to sound off here.

That is not a dirty play.

For the record, I didn’t call it a dirty play. The tweet did. I’m doubling down on pick up the ball though.

I hate that Embiid got hurt. Hope it is nothing more than day to day.

He’s fucked. Did you see that reaction? He’s got a torn ligament and they’ll announce surgery to end his season in the next 24 hours.

But Kuminga is doing exactly what he was taught to do. See a loose ball on the floor, you get on the ground to secure it.

If he merely reaches down with his hands, Embiid is directly in position to reach out and create a jump ball. Which might as well go directly to the Sixers.

Kuminga dove on the floor and used his body to shield Embiid from reaching in and getting the ball.

Just like he has surely been taught to do.

Just unfortunate that Embiid’s leg was in the way.

I started my day letting everyone know I’m irrationally angry.

Murray
Booker
Beal
KD

There is only one basketball.....right?

They should try the Bulls, maybe swap Little and a 2nd for Carter.

Tyus is probably too expensive, would again take Nurkic

Does Ish Smith have anything left? Maybe Kris Dunn from the Jazz?

 

[Shanemansj13]

Lower the season the 70-72 games.

And add a few preseason games.

No

I see all kinds of solutions on the Hawks roster.

But, probably cost you Reaves.

Okongwu or Capela and Murray or Bogdon?

All would work, stylistically.

Not inspired enough to check financially.

I'm not as precious about Reaves as most of Lakers nation apparently, would move him in a deal for Murray. Would lean on the Hawks a little by offering 2nds with Reaves instead of the 2029 first to see if the player change could push that through.

Strangely enough, both Reaves and Murray showed out last night.

This guy should be tried for robbery.

So upon examination of his knee, doctor, you’ve determined that he’s faking?

It's a pattern with him.

Did you see that stat about D. White last night?

Through 43 games to start a season he's the only player to have at least 175 asts, 100 three's, 50 blks and 40 stls.

Hope he's named an all star reserve.

Yeah, would love to keep Reaves, but not enough to stop a deal that will improve the team.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

He's fucking ridiculous.

Joel Embiid is unlucky but he earns his injuries. No one just goes out and gets a minor injury damn newr every time he steps on a court.

Exactly.

At the post game he’s smiling and making his comment about how if he has the ball it’s always a fast break. At this point it hardly matters, it’s robbery regardless.

The human body is not meant to be built like him

 

[DJ Fieri]

Watch Simmons at 40 be like Delonte West.

Better alert Lebron

Dude's a swiss army knife.

Title or bust, baby... title or bust.

 

[thunderc]

I’m going to be the optimistic one and say Embiid isn’t hurt bad.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

agreed.

he's about 40 pounds heavier than Ewing and Robinson were

Just look at these bigger guys who break down

Yao is another example
