The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

[Brownstone]

What a great game, Wolves Defense since Kat went down has been on an upward trajectory
Anderson & Prince at their rates + Rivers now all turning out to be great signings
Sucks we will lose Naz but wolves did try to lock him down before the season started, kudos to him for betting on himself

steph curry playing like ***. make that man walk to denver

Been sellin a handful games lately down the stretch

Went from 5th to 8th with the Nuggies tomorrow

 

[pmatic]

Can't imagine Kerr playing Curry, Klay or Dray tomorrow. Kerr treated tonight like a playoff game with those three's minutes logs.

 

[Zo gif]

Edwards first step is crazy
too bad he plays for the wolves

 

[B Sox]

Why are they not just forcefeeding Ayton? He’s doing whatever he wants when he actually gets the ball.

[Vincent Van Goat]

Give me Luka Garza over him too

Just imagine them losing naz and missing out on Kessler because of this

Not to mention losing Vanderbilt and Beasley

And all that draft stuff

 

[T0INE]

AJ Griffin does NOT look 19

It’s always dame time somewhere

 

[B Sox]

PHX goes scoreless possession after scoreless possession without even giving Ayton a touch and then they finally do and he immediately hits a jumper.

I get that Ayton isn’t exactly an offensive hub, but when you’re having issues scoring all night, you have to get him more touches.

Seems like Kerr needs to stop sitting these guys. They need all the minutes they can get. Been playing like trash

 

[essential1]

Wolves should roll with the team they got this year next year as well. Add a 2/3 off the bench to replace Rivers/Nowell. They’ll stay under the luxury tax for 23-24.

Go into 2024-25 as luxury tax team. Then in 2025 off-season year tear it all down. Rudy last year of his deal. Move off DLo, move off KAT and build around Ant and Jaden.

It is the Most logical move.

since 11/13 DLo is .488/.412/.885 19.2/6.4
since 11/13 Ant is .466/.385/.791. 25.9/6.3/4.8

Team has had 2 horrible streaks lost 6 of 7 in the beginning of November and 5 straight in the last 10 days of 2022. 12-5 in 2023.

 

[Mister Meaner]

Phx smoking layups & fumbling passes.

Is this Phx’s Gleague rotation?

 

[los2187]

rough night for EDG

 

[moderndarwin]

That loss (along with like 4-6 others) is on Kerr. He keeps trying to play Jordan Poole at the end of games for “confidence building” reasons so that way hes ready for the playoffs and can be out there during crunch time.

It’s just a terrible strategy. Jordan Poole is and always will be a wildcard sort of guy. Steph already is that you can’t have two of them out there at the same time in the last 5 mins of a close game. And of course Steph levels better so Pooles gotta sit and you need the steady hand and defense of Looney out there. Even Dizzchenzo solid steady play style would help them win these close games they keep failing at.

Steph
Klay
Wiggins
Dray
Looney

That’s gotta be the lineup you go with to win games. This round robbin of others is just not it.
