NBA Thread 2022-23 Season

Well, this is over. Boston better take the Heat very seriously.

They’ll lose games they should win, but still win in 6 or 7.

 

[MikeSU02]

This is an all time performance by Tatum.

In the second round.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Lol Embiid MVP

 

[MikeSU02]

Both western teams will smoke the Celtics. Heat might beat them. Spo is by far the best coach left in the playoffs.

 

[dasher]

Win or lose the title, I hire Doc the second he gets fired if I am the Celts. Odd move for sure but he is twice the coach that Joe M is

 

[MikeSU02]

Lol Embiid MVP

He lobbied for it for years. Got a sympathy vote. Congrats.

 

[OrangeDW]

Well….that escalated quickly.

That stretch in game 6 when Philly had the lead and their scrubs kept missing wide open 3’s will haunt them. A couple buckets to extend the lead, and they probably win that.

Heat-Celtics should be a fun series. both conference finals series should be good, really.

Would be cool for the Joker to break through.

No way Doc is back.

Still think Boston Is the best team. The coaching is their biggest issue.

Aaaaaah and now the Harden struggle montage...

Sensational.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Also that Spider-Man movie is going to be awesome.

 

[Eric15]

He walked in to that 2008 Dream Team in Boston and won a title. Besides the 2010 Finals run, I feel like Doc’s career consists of a whole lot of underachieving while enjoying tons of talent in places like LAC and Philly.

Miss those Pierce, Rondo, KG years.

I honestly think Bron takes home chip 5. GOAT conversion fully tips because MJ never played teams this talented. League was way worse.

If Spo gets to the Finals, Bron should seriously start considering re-upping with him to finish out his career.

 

[MikeSU02]

No way. Tatum isn’t remotely consistent enough and Brown can’t dribble. Coach is a joke.

The amount of series he’s lost as a coach when ahead 3-1 or 3-2 is absurd.

 

[MikeSU02]

Sensational.

It’s Giannis be Joker with Luka looking at jumping in if his owner ever stops being an idiot.

Embiid is a great player, but he’s still not a ball handler. And I’m the nba now that’s what matters.

Ehhh I know I’m a hater, but this run so far has been all AD. And beating Miami is nothing to write home about.

Pre Bron ascending. The league was awful then.

 

[Trueblue25]

Glad this played out the way it has for Philly fans.

Also - don’t kid yourselves. Boston will be a heavy favorite vs Miami and neither teams taking this lightly. Not the first time Tatum and Brown have faced off vs Bam and Jimmy in the postseason

 

[MikeSU02]

Bron had like 30/9/9 on insane shooting? Again, this league is about ball handlers and shot creators now. AD ain’t more important than Bron, especially when he shows up half the games.

 

[samspann1]

My boy Tatum!!!

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

A

Or, Zeke just likes to be the center of attention.

If talking about the Bird thing, it was not a good spotlight to be in.

I like the first sentence.

Spo can beat it. He had his time, lol.

I’m a “Jordan was a better player and it’s already decided because LeBron already peaked” guy, but can be convinced that “LeBron had the best career, even if his peak wasn’t quite as high.” To be playing at this level after this many years is unprecedented. It’s not human, lol. The guy is something else.

Not so sure on the league/talent thing. It’s a very different game - lots more guys who can shoot and dribble now, but the game is played much differently so it requires that. The trade off, is most of the big guys suck at being big guys. The Olajuwon’s, Malone’s, and Kemps would dominate even more today with an open lane and hardly anybody big that’s any good to match up with them.
