2022/2023 NBA Season

Vaughns beard is kinda bad ass.

I hope Al Horford has some crazy 30 point throwback nights during these playoffs.

Now they have ads half screen while players are shooting free throws.

Great.

[TDub]

gotta pay those fucking ridiculous contracts somehow....

[TDub]

the NBA is damn near unwatchable.

[pdub]

Playoff ball, to me, is just way better than your average regular season game on TNT.

They actually try.

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

My not so worthless opinion is first round series should be best of 5 and not 7 games.
Let's see how many - hopefully not any - players will get injured in what will inevitably be a worthless game 4 (or 5).

[pdub]

I agree.
I think often times the top seeds are just that much better.

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

Grimes. Onions.

* Edit.
Meaningless FT in hindsight.

[pdub]

5 points, 1-4 FG. 1 assist, 3 TOs.
It’s a Grimes at KU stat line!

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

Last night proved game 1s of a series can be awfully fun and exciting. Two years ago I never would have thought the Kings would be a more exciting team to watch than the Warriors in 2023.
That being said, as great as the Kings played, my 89 year old mother isn't much worse of a defender than some of the Warriors players were last night.

P.S.

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

Without looking at the lines and nor looking to see which players are/aren't playing - my worthless predictions for today.....

Lakers win by 5 (partially because Brooks or someone else on the Grizz looses his cool?) or Grizz win by 4 (partially because someone of substance on the Lakers gets injured?).
I'll go with Lakers by 5.

Bucks by 9 over the Heat.

Suns by 7 over the Clippers - assuming George isn't playing.

Nuggets by 5 over the TWolves.
I would like to see Braun average 20/10 for the series and the TWolves win the series.
Neither of which I expect to happen.

Ja morant with a bad fall. Mightve broke his wrist or something m

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

Stick a fork in the Bears. They're done. Series over.

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

Right on cue the injuries are occurring in abundance.

[pdub]

Morant and Giannis?
Rough city for the playoffs.

Yes, those two and Herro broke his hand.

Looked like A.D. was screwed with his shoulder/arm. Thankfully for him and Lakers fans he is ok but I fully expect him to get injured at some point.

I have to wonder what if anything the NBA is going to do in the off-season. A rule is a rule (and despite it being what I feel is a bad one - players are taking advantage of it) but this is a rule that is getting players injured.

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

Russ had himself one of the greatest if not the greatest 3-19 night/s an NBA player ever had.
Let's see.......




This was interesting.




Closed out his game with this.
randy - Despite the caption on the tweet, I'm not calling it a game winning block.

Looks like the Nets are done. Well, at least J.V. has SOME job security for a while.
Big question is, are the Warriors done?

The Nets defense had Embiid and the 76ers tied in knots the first half... I didn't watch the 2nd half, dammit.
