2022-2023 NBA Regular Season Thread

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Not plot armor they missed the playoffs fair and square last year. It’s that the mid season trades they made are looking like they might end up insanely successful. Like they got a whole new team in exchange for Westbrook, Horton-Tucker, and a pick. Still not sure how they pulled that off
 
Interesting read. I watched an interview with the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers strength/conditioning coach the other day. He said the current training paradigm for young athletes is rooted mostly in tradition. These kids are told to hit the heavy weights early and often without regard to the micro-tears occurring in their ligaments, tendons, etc., because of it. Then when these kids enter the pros, the micro-tears eventually become fully torn ACL's and rotator cuffs.
Thanks for the clarification because as a huge critic of this newer generation of players taking “test” days that I thought of as being soft….this puts it in better perspective for me!
 
Denver aint winning shit this year. Jokic makes Kevin Love look like prime Ben Wallace.

He's slow and literally can't jump more than six inches off the ground. His arms look short, too. It's like he's not even there. At least Love draws a charge once or twice a game.

But Denver has a 5.5 game lead in the West - he can't be hurting them that much.

The West has turned out to be pretty mediocre this year. The second place teams have 40 wins and are projected for 48 and 49. The West may end up with only one 50-win team this year.

Denver is 16-16 on the road. Overall they are 1-1 against Boston, and lost on the road to Philly and Milwaukee. They have games still to play at home against the Bucks and Sixers. If they make it to the Finals and don't have home court advantage I can't see them winning.

Nobody in the West has a chance if Durant is healthy. Incredibly shitty what he did bailing on the Nets and fucking up league wide competitive balance again. The Nets shouldn’t have traded him but if they did they should have traded him to the Rockets or something
 
Knicks looked good against the Lakers. Bad game by AD. Also a game where the Lakers choice to let Randle go for nothing looked in retrospect particularly stupid
 
Chalk up Cam Reddish's career, dude had a chance to stick it to NY and he is who they thought he was.
