2023-2024 NBA Regular Season - Around the League

Other than Jokic, who deserves to be on there more?

*I* have no problem with the Western All-Star selections. I would give it a toss-up between AD, KAT, PG13 and Sabonis. Wouldn't be pressed if he replaced any of those guys, but also wouldnt pound the table for Sabonis over any of them, either.

Wemby absolutely ate the Raptors alive tonight. Triple double with blocks. Spurs won by 23.

 

[Pierre Pan]

And down go the Knicks

Wizards hung around with the Mavs for awhile despite Jordan "I Pee in the" Poole doing what he does worst.

And down go the Knicks

The injuries and all the minutes the remaining rotation guys are playing is starting to wear on the Knicks it appears.

And down go the Knicks

Maybe not. They are protesting. If any protest has a shot, it is this. Both the L2M report and the crew chief admitted it was the wrong call. And it's pretty easy to see how the game would have gone to OT.

I hope they win the protest, fuck the Knicks but fuck bad reffing more.

I just finished watching the Thunder/Magic game, where Orlando retired Shaq's jersey number, and Shaq got to be a TNT game commentator the entire night. Now I'm going to check Doc's Bucks getting slaughtered again, this time by the Heat. Duncan Robinson has six threes, Nikola Jovic Not Jokic has five, and KLove has five so far as well.

The Bucks might be done. Not sure where they go from here.

I can't remember a time when a protest resulted in a change of outcome.

The Dame trade was desperate. They gave up their future and may have made themselves worse

If it continues going as is, I think they have to try and trade Dame this summer and/or Middleton.

Trading Dame to try to recoup younger players to pair with Giannis is about their only move. Maybe they can talk the Lakers and LeGM into giving up Reaves and a couple others in a package for Dame?

Middleton’s going to have limited value because of his injury history, but they might be able to find a team that’d bite with a couple depth pieces.

The Bucks panicked after last season's playoffs.

Coach Bud had his issues, but Giannis was hobbled and Miami went nuclear during that series. But the Bucks panicked and actively made themselves worse.

The funny thing about Milwaukee is Doc would have to go 25-11 in his games just to * match* the win percentage Griffin had this year (30-13, .700). Doc is ccurrently 3-6, so the Bucks have to go 22-5 (.815) the rest of the way, unless they want to be paying extra to be worse than they were...

Bucks don't look like a serious contender.

How long before Giannis asks out?

I think he'll ask for a lot of other changes before he asks out.
