NBA Thread 2022-23 Season

[IthacaBarrel]

I don't get the whole Mike Greenburg thing.

He's not really an NBA guy and it shows. You can tell he doesn't completely follow the league. He's kind of a casual viewer and he really shouldn't be hosting that show. Be nice if they could move JJ into that role at some point. Where he could facilitate some much better conversations

12 best (current) players that attended Kentucky vs Team USA.

Who’s favored?

Non-Kentucky US players still favored but good question.

Steph, Mitchell, Tatum, KD, Bron, Kawhi, Zion, Jimmy Buckets, Harden, Jrue, Ja, Garland, Mobley, Paolo, Triple J for D, I’m sure I’m missing guys. I know that’s more than 12.

Kentucky has a good team tho.

Foreign team would be favored over either.

Bill Simmons is going to do 45 mins just on this game tomorrow on the pod.

He only did 40

I’m going to be supremely bummed when the Celtics are eliminated. At the end of the season I was rooting for a Kings vs Celts final so my boy and I could enjoy some serious banter and trash talk.

 

[kirbivore]

This may very well be the stupidest suggestion I've ever seen. Resting starters against the defending champions who could EASILY rattle off three wins in a row. They're acting like it's the regular season and they already have home-court advantage locked up.

Typical WWE style hot take. He doesn’t believe a word of it

 

[Cusefan0307]

Lakers have the best team.

It really should be the Celtics.

I also can’t stand watching the lakers play. They flop way too much and the refs eat it up.

It will be interesting to see where he ultimately ends up on the all-time great center list. He's literally just entering his prime right now and probably has another 5-6 years left playing at an MVP level.

Yeah. At some point it will be about titles, rightly or not.

Because he’s going to have the insane numbers to go up against anyone.

If Jokic continues to put up these insanely efficient numbers (he’s currently 2nd in league history in PER) and the Nuggets win say two rings, I think he deserves to be on the Wilt, Kareem, Russell, Shaq, Hakeem level without a doubt.

Borrego must have really impressed them back when they hired Bud for them to bring him in again this time. I gotta imagine we end up with a bigger name than that but that really stands out to me.

 

[Eric15]

If anyone other than the Lakers or Warriors wins it all this year, it will be five years with five different champions. That hasn't happened since 1977-1981 (Portland, Washington, Seattle, LA, Boston).

Very innaresting.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Very innaresting.

His podcast is really taking him places.

 

[cuseattle]

It's a TNT night...
Let's go Knickerbockers!

 

[shandeezy7]

Miami flopping. Refs buying it. Same old story.

 

[shandeezy7]

Knicks get called for back to back moving screens. Bam sets a blatant moving screen. Not called.

 

[MikeSU02]

Very innaresting.

My guess is this is a floating by his agent for when he really is ready to make this jump. No way Massai is handing this team over to JJ.

 

[MikeSU02]

Joker on second team...

For an all NBA player, Randle in playoffs is just unacceptable.

He needs to be better. Period.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

This has been a really intense game.

Knicks fans, this has got to be nerve wracking, but it's a fun watch.

 

[orangefog]

How does Barrett get blocked on that?!?!?
