The Official NBA Season Thread: Season Starts Now

[dman14]

Nuggets should have traded for a defensive backup center like Noel. Bryant made no sense from day 1.

How many defensive centers are there even in today's nba? Let alone, a serviceable backup

He wasn’t dunking **** w/3 defenders there

Rudy stuck in this PG era of basketball.

When AD went down, what he needed to show was some

 

[sohi 23]

seeing the video the quote wasn’t that bad. He just said it was a turning point in the game, not the reason they lost.

He’s right too. Ad went Beastmode after that.

Mid-season tournament will basically be a check in for the playoffs. Just like we get excited about regular season games that are playoff previews.. I feel like that's what this will be. It'll generate news and discussion for sure and bring more eyeballs than a regular season games which is what the league wants.

I'm not clamoring for it, but I can see the vision.

He was just completely delusional about the fact that he could’ve dunked that

Dunking the ball is too ruthless but purposely spreading Covid was hilarious to him.

That payday for the in-season tournament is not enough for the superstars to play. Can see teams letting the younger guys play or g-league call Ups get that 500,000.

I am dunking on AD if I were Rudy. Step with both feet to take off and get that and one blocking foul as well

If the 6ers had this versio of Isaiah Joe, sheesh. I understand they felt like he was just a shooter and can’t actually play pg but he does everything, even holds up defensively with the exception of against bigger guard’s who would bully ball him like a Luka, takes charges, goes back door and dunks in the half court, sets real screens, creates his own shot when he needs to or attacks closeouts and makes the next read, really the perfect player to have on your margins for next to nothing salary wise

 

[HIM]

The French really do love San Antonio/Texas.

 

[pmatic]

Gobert really took is easy on the Lakers since he scored zero points in the second half.

Draymond woke up to learn about the CBA news.

I really don't get why the NBAPA rushed into eliminating the MLE for teams. Hurting your middle to lower class level players.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

What is Draymond even talking about

 

[aepps20]

thought Book had a different hat on

cc: aepps20 @RustyShackleford

JURRAH Jones wore a hat like that once too.

 

[dacomeup]

Did Dray get word that GSW is cutting their tax bill?

 

[storm2006]

Not just 2023 but a Cam’ron and Mario Chalmers beef was never on my or anyone else’s bingo card ever


Mario Chalmers talking himself back into relevancy over past few weeks is wild as well. Anything is possible if you tactically use social media

 

[Benny Hinn]

Looney is the Warriors rep. Draymond bout to sucker punch him next

 

[Benny Hinn]

Wardell slander before he dips in July

 

[elpablo21]

So they're removing the MLE from the top spenders but retaining it for the smaller markets who may not even try to use it?

 

[703 hwy]

???

Pathetic man

 

[storm2006]

So they're removing the MLE from the top spenders but retaining it for the smaller markets who may not even try to use it?

Yep. Nonsensical. In a way they are essentially forcing those guys like Donte, Ingles and Wall to smaller market teams if they want to get paid their fair market value. Also means they won’t get featured as much and get a chance at a bigger bag like in Donte’s case. Forcing them to Charlotte, Detroit or this tanking version of San Antonio w may be worse for them in the long run.
