Board 8 > NBA regular season - 2022-23

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'll give simmons half the season I think. He has indeed not played in like 2 years. But if nothing's changed then, he just is who he is. He won't shoot and nothing will change that will be my verdict at that time.

I don't think the nets fortunes bode well though. Both on the court play, and the dysfunction that comes with durant/kyrie/simmons.

The one thing that doesn't seem to have changed is Simmons doesn't want to shoot, and the Nets can't succeed if he won't take hard shots.

Yeah, no team that has Royce O'Neale as its tertiary offensive option is going anywhere.

the ghost of Trae Young still haunts him

The spurs just straight up waived their 12th overall pick from last year.

Wonder what he did to deserve that?

Yeah, that's bizarre. Hopefully it's not something terrible for the sake of we have enough of that in the world.

Positive thinking take-maximizing the tank.

They just picked up his option 2 weeks ago so yeah had to be something horrible

Those injuries to begin the season really shows how anemic the bench is

Cade tho 35/8/9 oh ya

also gave me great memories of the 1997 playoffs when Hawks beat up the teal pistons in the first round

where I cried in my room afterwards

Suns bench is actually good? Jock Landale has been a revelation, Payne seems back to being Payne from 2 years ago. Feeling real good about the Suns, especially because Cam Johnson has been struggling with his shot a bit, same with Paul, but Bridges is stepping up, Booker is Booker so I'm not concerned about him, but he has shown that double teaming him doesn't work anymore.

He's a PoS, nuff said.

"I'm not here to complain about it" - Kyrie Irving

After the Kings win tonight, Lakers are the only winless team left.

That NO pick is looking better and better each passing day. They should blow up the team and start rebuilding tbh, they look so bad on offense it doesnt matter how good your defense is.

Hey man it's not antisemitic if it's true

Thunder 3 game winning streak playoffs here we come

Pelicans are a good team, but since the Lakers look like trash I feel like the Clippers awfulness is being swept under the rug.

They look atrocious on offense too, and I dont think Leonard is going to be the same player he was.

lmao i was so wrong about mitchell

Extended Bojan and beat the warriors

Good night

dubs are just waiting for the official start to the season on christmas

They basically just have to stay in shape, avoid bad injuries, and listen to Klay Thompson brag about the girls he bangs on his boat.

Celtics have some defensive problems but I think it's a good thing that they are focusing so much on offense. They're going to need these reps later on into the playoffs imo.

A lot of the perceived contenders look like they are going through growing pains - Nets, Clippers, Heat, Sixers, Lakers

meanwhile Bucks are the last unbeaten and Giannis is going scorched earth

Lakers were never a potential contender this season

Warriors are going to be fine - they're just trying to get the young guys actual minutes

but yeah I'm all aboard the bucks train this season

ok grant Williams is my favorite Celtic and its not close

yeah that rules

probably too much to hope Pistons could beat Warriors and Bucks in back to back nights but at least they're not getting blown out

Personally hoping for a Suns and Bucks rematch for the Finals.

Final score

Pistons 108
Bucks 110

Almost had it

Same. I still think the Bucks probably win, but I'd like to see the Suns get a shot at revenge

woo, 6-0 bucks. Thought Pistons might get that one though at the end.

A merciful action

Seems like the firing was mutual too haha

And now they're reporting that Ime Udoka is expected to be named the new coach within 24-48 hours

Huh

Isn't he suspended or is that just a team thing

Are they just going to fire him so the Nets can hire him

What

Suspended by the Celtics not the NBA

I guess remains to be seen if the NBA steps in since I assume they previously didn't as the Celtics were addressing. I'm not sure they can punish him for it though

Yeah, Udoka was suspended by the Celtics, not the NBA.

just shut down the nets and bring back the sonics
