2023-24 NBA Season

Bucks have a problem. Freak doesn't want the ball at end of games, and Dame gets hunted. His D is bad.

That never caused a problem for Dame Time before.

Dame hasn't played a meaningful game in a while. If you don't think teams are hunting the Dame match-up at the end of games I don't know what to tell you.

Even the Raptors with questionable guard talent and players betting against themselves, were hunting Damian Lillard whenever they played earlier.

 

[shandeezy7]

Don’t look now, but the Knicks are 1.5 games out of the 2 seed.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

I don't know. Im ALMOST starting to buy into Jalen Green. It's not even the recent efficiency of scoring. Its his passing that is really making me rethink his potential.

 

[MikeSU02]

The Minnesota sale story is crazy. Minnesota fans have to be sooooo pissed.

Sounds like part Lore/ARod may not have gotten all the money and maybe part that Glen Taylor saw what the team was going to be worth and it's just a mess.

Djonte Murray took 44 shots tonight
FORTY FOUR

Unfortunately one of the 17 he hit was his last one.

FORTY FOUR

Here's a real interesting set of stats about the Hawks. This is their net rating with:

1) Trae and Murray both ON: -5.8 per100
2) Trae and Murray both OFF: -2.8 per 100
3) Trae ON, Murray OFF: +2.1 per 100
4) Murray ON, Trae OFF: +2.0 per 100

We didnt really see this last year, so I am not totally sure what to make of it, but; weird, right?

Spurs have now won 3 in a row and played a great game with OT W vs the Knicks last night.
Wemby 40-20 and Brunson went for 61 -a VERY entertaining game.
Tip of the hat to the Spurs/Wemby -Knicks had their chance to end it in regulation -but Deuce missed.
Not news, but Wemby is going to rule the NBA -it's not fair LOL.

Definitely an entertaining game. Knicks could not get a stop in the 4th and no one besides Brunson could make a bucket.

Day2 - who would you rather have the Clips face in round 1, Pels or Mavs?

LeBron should absolutely sign with the spurs this offseason. I’m 100% serious.

That would be cool.

 

[Day2]

That’s a tough one. The Clips seem to play better against the Mavs, it’s just boring playing them in the first round every year. The Pels are a tough matchup and I don’t trust the Clips right now.

 

[Day2]

That would be cool.

And on brand.

And on brand.

Speaking of on brand

I know this will keep going up, but Luka will be eligible for a 5 yr/$346M contract when his re-up comes up in 2025.

Again, I know these will keep going up, but that is crazy.

 

[Knicks411]

Again, I know these will keep going up, but that is crazy.

The crazy thing is whoever the star who is up the next year would be due like 5/385!

That's assuming 3 years in a row of max 10% increases in the cap. I feel pretty good about the first year or two that happens, the further out you go the less you can say for sure.

 

[Red Holzman]

As a Knicks fan, just dropping in to say the 2 close losses after great efforts have been demoralizing.
And: Brunson was fouled on that layup at the end last night -should have been another OT game!
Yes he would have made the foul shot LOL.

On a lighter note: Breen had a nice call the other night -"That was a Brunson Burner!"

 

[Fireball Jr.]

I know this will keep going up, but Luka will be eligible for a 5 yr/$346M contract when his re-up comes up in 2025.

Again, I know these will keep going up, but that is crazy.

Speaking of Luka

 

[Fireball Jr.]

Rex Chapman for the win. #TwitterGold

 

[Fireball Jr.]

I second that emotion.

 

[Madbiker]

Knicks going down the crapper. The injuries have forced Thibs to play such a short rotation he's been playing guys 46 minutes a game and now you can see how fatigue is destroying their effectiveness. It's becoming obvious Randle likely isn't coming back and who knows about OG. A slide down to 7th which seemed inconceivable 2 weeks ago now looks entirely possible. Injuries ruined such a promising season.

 

[Red Holzman]

Knicks could have used this amazing performance after last 3 demoralizing games!
Malachi Flynn, recently traded by the Knicks, went off for 50-6-6 with 3 steals Wednesday night -off the bench. Flynn made history:

• Lowest career scoring average (5.2 points) of any player with a 50-point game in NBA history.
• 3rd player, with Jamal Crawford and Nick Anderson, to score 50 off the bench.
• 2nd player, with Crawford, to have at least 50-5-5 off the bench
