The Official NBA Season Thread: California Classic Summer League

[RustyShackleford]

If I'm KAT I'm enjoying this Rudy discourse because KAT is definitely gonna shoot the Wolves out of a critical game come playoff time.

The play-in was such a bad idea. A team 5 spots away from the worst record in the conference should be rewarded

 

[DripNick]

He’s the role player version of Embiid forreal

Fufu-less version of Joel fr fr

Play in is fine. They need to do it how it was in the bubble. Only if you’re within X amount of games

 

[xxpizzo]

A STAR

think he can even get his assist up some more obv once embiid is back for those easy middys

 

[wavycrocket]

Tim Legler on point about the Suns. No real PG, just 2 dudes out there getting theirs.

B Sox

It’s also Tobi not being completely trash too that helps

This years play-in is about to be legendary tho

Legler also said that the team never has the opportunity to develop any kind of continuity because nobody can ever stay healthy for more than a game or two in a row.

They aren’t winning anything regardless, but that’s clearly the bigger issue.

i was just bsing on FD exploring some bets

they got a wemby special for Record a Quadruple Double in 2023-24 season at +10000

im curious to see how many people dabbled on that - my max wager is $100 but i would never put the full amount on that bet

And what they built around the 3 guys just isn’t good enough. They’re going to be stuck teasing people for a few games at a time but ultimately not being a true contender with this group.

Everyone outside of Denver in the west can get beat. Not about to dissect teams too much

 

[B Sox]

Book-Beal-KD-Nurk have a +13 net rating together but have only played 22 of 61 games.

That net rating is basically right in line with Denver and Boston’s best except those teams guys have played doubled the games

Again I don’t think they are making real noise in the playoffs, but their dudes not actually getting to play together is far and away their biggest issue.

Same with the east. Calling out who’s fraud and what not doesn’t make sense

The injury thing is a problem of course but this can apply to every team in the league

If any team lost one of their top 3 guys, or one of their two superstars, they won't be in trouble.

Knicks fan pumping his chest like they might not see Philly in the first round with Embiid not ruled out

 

[B Sox]

If I told you PHX top 4 guys would all be healthy enough come playoff time, is there any team other than Denver that you’d absolutely have beating them without thinking twice? I don’t see it.

Lot of #SameTier

if they have that same bet before next season starts, you gotta pull the trigger.

A healthy Jo makes Philly the biggest wildcard

Suns and clips are same tier for me, same questions

Nuggets by themselves

Okc wildcard but I’d rather play Minnesota before okc

 

[RustyShackleford]

I love how Dallas supposedly upgraded at the deadline

Are pretty much fully healthy

Have gone 1-4 in the last five

And people hardly say a peep about them

I wonder why....
