NBA Thread 2022-23 Season

[STEVEHOLT]

This log jam is nuts. The Lakers are currently 13th in the West, but only 3 games back from hosting a playoff series.

3 games back with 7 to climb is equal to triple that

Lakers fans complaining about officiating? Just too funny.

Laker haters being so jealous that they support bad officiating? Just too funny.

I feel truly terrible for them…..

He’s a troll. Can’t take him seriously.

Now, this is serious.

 

[OrangeDW]

He’s a troll. Can’t take him seriously.

Now, this is serious.

I smell a little fear that the Lakers are improving.

He certainly doesn’t want to see us in the playoffs.

 

[Knicks411]

He’s such a moron. It was an obvious foul though. Don’t know how you don’t call that.

I have to say Pat Bev doing that was one of the funniest things I have ever seen. Incredible moment.

 

[samspann1]

Refs had zero impact on the outcome of that game.

 

[Newhouser]

I would not want Lakers in playoffs if I'm a top speed.

 

[Fireball Jr.]

Refs had zero impact on the outcome of that game.

 

[samspann1]

Oh, it was a clear foul, that, if properly called, most likely directly changes the outcome of the game.

It’s just all so confusing, because on the basketball board, the same 3-4 people repeatedly say that officiating doesn’t impact the outcomes of games. Maybe that only applies to Syracuse Basketball?

 

[Madbiker]

James Dolan says he's happy with Knicks front office, they're doing a good job.
I guess he's given up on the Knicks ever being better than a .500 team. (Of course that's a huge improvement over the last 20 years). This team seems to have no plan. Just drifting.

Laker haters being so jealous that they support bad officiating? Just too funny.

Where did I say anything about the call? You can’t even admit there was bad officiating in a playoff game over 20 years ago.

I didn’t argue that, just said the Kings still could’ve gotten it done.

Ten straight wins. You saw my prediction before the season started and I stand by it.

 

[Day2]

I didn’t argue that, just said the Kings still could’ve gotten it done.

I didn’t argue that I support bad officiating, just that Lakers fans complaining about bad calls is hilarious.

SACRAMENTO — There are events that happen during the history of a professional franchise that help define who they are. Some moments are amazing that help set the tenor for years. Others are incredibly destructive and have a lasting impact. For the San Francisco 49ers, it was Dwight Clark’s...

2002? I feel your pain. I’ve never gotten over the Rochester Royals — the granddaddy of the Sacramento Kings — losing to the Minneapolis Lakers 83-80 in OT on Jan. 4, 1953.

Read the article. Real quotes from Donaghy.

He's just lashing out as his Clippers have been held hostage by the whims of a sociopath.

The Clippers should move back to Buffalo and become the Braves again.

Way more history there.

 

[Fireball Jr.]

Not sure if this is precedent~setting, but i don’t recall a pro sports union ever issuing a mea culpa like this.

Eight seasons? lol

That’s really no way to talk about Clipper Darrell.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Lebron traveled before he got fouled.

I’m sure the reaction would have been the same had it been Jalen Brunson instead of LBJ.
