NBA Thread 2022-23 Season

[Fireball Jr.]

Brendan was the old Raptors coach who spent some time at SU as well!

Brendan is Mike’s old man.

Not sure if there’s any connection to Karl or Post.

Even if there’s a connection to Karl, he’s never been involved.

Anthony Davis makes me mad.

 

[OrangeDW]

Tristan helping!!!

 

[OrangeDW]

Jokic should’ve fouled out on that Davis dunk off the offensive rebound.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Denver didn't even do the Lakers the courtesy of the gentleman's sweep.

Jokic prolly shoulda won MVP again.

 

[Day2]

Buh-bye, Fakers.

 

[OrangeDW]

4 competitive/close games. Denver was just better.

At least we didn’t quit like those Boston goofballs the other night.

 

[Fireball Jr.]

Lakers started the season 2-10, got into playoffs through the play-in, and finished in the Final Four, beating Memphis and, anyone remember, the Golden State Warriors. Good season, all things considered. They have some good pieces, Pelinka’ll do some tweaking, next season just six months away. Giddy-up!

Good series, Denver is the best team in the league, I think they beat Miami 4-2.

Can't win a game when your bench Scores 10 pts... Let DLo walk, *Tristan Thompson had a great game tho.

Most of the guys Pelinka traded for at the deadline didn’t even play tonight. Fakers only made it this far because the league made a concerted effort to get them as many free throws as they needed for the second half of the season.

I thought Lakers fans had higher expectations.

 

[Day2]

Getting rid of Westbrook is one of the better personnel decisions in Laker history.

The guy who got rid of him is the same guy who acquired him in the first place.

 

[Cuse4455]

The Nuggets bench scored 8

Yes, they've rolled with 8 almost the whole playoffs but I was more so taking a shot at $30 million DLo who in 15 mins only scored 4pts in a close out game. In this whole series he has avg under 8pts a game...

Fouls are fouls. Do better at keeping us out of the paint if you don’t like it.

If fouls are fouls, why were less fouls called on the Fakers?

See, you think it’s just about the Lakers getting to the line. It’s also about their opponents NOT getting to the line.

Not sure what’s going on with Miami but I could see a sweep or 4-1. I’d like a decent series but denver is definitely better.

 

[Cusefan0307]

I’m not counting Miami out. I’ve learned my lesson. They also have way more depth than Denver.

Style of play.

Same reason SU historically always shot more FT’s than WVU, Colgate, etc.

Love hurt? Denver definitely has the best top 6.

I agree. All things considered I think that was a very good season for the Lakers.

 

[IthacaBarrel]

Anthony Davis makes me mad.

He's the same player he always has been. Once LeBron is done they should really move on from AD as well.

 

[Newhouser]

so LBJ post game had to be posturing to help set up what/who he wants on next years team? He is not retiring. Does he want Kyrie, Chris Paul....are the Lakers done catering to his personnel whims?

Whoever they bring on - Joker in his prime is going to be a hurdle to climb.
