The Official NBA Season Thread: Fries Discourse | Mavs vs Jazz

[finessence]

Imagine Ant and Wemby in Laker uniforms 5 years from now

Wemby ain’t trying to live in a place like Los Angeles/Vegas. He’ll be a San Anton lifer

Victor Wembanyama hated Las Vegas so much he could only describe it as a dystopia

The Paris Hotel wasn’t doing it for Victor Wembanyama, I guess.

Why do the Bucks get a side eye and not GS?

No one had GS beating Boston two years ago.

 

[Coupé It]

Only recent champion I side-eye are probably the 2021 Bucks, but a championship is a championship.

THIS.

Now that one was fluky.

 

[pums]

Raptors and Bucks really.

KD and Klay going .
Harden and Kyrie going down.

If just 1 of those two stayed healthy it probably goes different .

 

[Moheezy]

I barely paid any attention LAC vs DAL, I was consumed by my own series.

But this is crazyyyy inefficient by Luka. Something has to be up. I can’t believe these are his numbers.

He is playing through a knee injury and you can see how it's affecting his game.

It’s that noticeable?

Because if this continues it’s over.

Dallas may as well sit him.

nice it's been a while since we've discussed the legitimacy of championships, with complete objectivity and in no way including our personal biases or agendas

Did he have any thoughts about 2008?

Bill’s theory also wipes out every title won in the 1970s, which includes two by the Celtics.

Reminds me last year when Bron was playing on a hobbled foot and his shooting tanked. He shot 41% from three this season with pretty healthy base and refined form.

Luka was a near 40% three point shooter all season and now his shooting has tanked in the playoffs. Very important having a good base for a volume shooter.

 

[WASHED KING]

30 is way too high, but I do think its more likely some NBA players could find a role in the NFL than the other way around.

I think it's even higher. Football players always sound dumb with this argument.

Liangelo Ball could be an NFL tight end.

 

[lawdog1]

THIS.

Now that one was fluky.

‘22 Warriors relied on part on both Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins having amazing years simultaneously to get that ring. That also seems fairly anomalous to be.

And the West was also down due to the Nuggets being without Murray, the Clippers without Kawhi and the Lakers WITH Russell Westbrook.

Youngest team ever to win a game in the 2nd round now too

Yea man, that’s just a ridiculously crazy dip for Luka.

He really has to be hurt because this doesn’t make sense.

 

[pums]

Luka and Murray are clearly hobbled.

the best ability is availability

Would Jarret Allen for Julius Randle be a bad trade for either team?

Would Jarret Allen for Julius Randle be a bad trade for either team?

We don’t need Allen.

But trust me, I’d be open to a lot of Julius trades.

nba scheduling has minny and denver with 3 days off in between

 

[HIM]

It’s that noticeable?

Only when he misses or turns the ball over. Funny how that’s the only time it seems to bother him…

 

[QU!K]

Raptors and Bucks really.

KD and Klay going .
Harden and Kyrie going down.

If just 1 of those two stayed healthy it probably goes different .

Respectfully, Klay played 4.75 games out of 6 and the same team without KD went 73-9 the year prior

+ the resurrection of MJ and the best shooting big we've seen since Dirk...#NoExcuses or no?
