NBA 2022-23 NBA Regular Season thread

[Jack Straw]

Wow.

Suns up 72-66 at halftime, with both teams absolutely going OFF in the second quarter.

Very fun game so far.

 

[Eco]

Very fun game so far.

Ayton is the difference maker thus far. The amount of second chances we've had thanks to him is the reason we were able to either get an easy 2, or a open 3.

 

[Eco]

The first technical on Draymond.

Not saying he wasn't fouled, but man is he a head case.

 

[Eco]

Klay Thompson now losing his mind and I believe he got a technical.

Players need to take a breath, we are 4 games into the new season.

 

[Eco]

Klay has been ejected.

Not sure what happened to him except his inability to impact the game in a positive way.

 

[Eco]

Really good period for the Suns there, and kudos to Monty for settling down the boys to focus on basketball instead of fighting.

Suns leading 105 - 86 at the end of 3.

 

[Eco]

Jock Landale has been impressive this year, and especially tonight.

Uses his body well and gets some quality buckets.

 

[Eco]

Starters are out with 90 seconds left and up by 26.

Great showing tonight against the champs. Would love to see this killer instinct in March and so forth, but I'll take it tonight.

Warriors defense is garbage.

 

[Hasbro]

Jokic tied Wilt Chamberlain for most triple doubles by a center and has an opportunity to pass him tonight versus the Lakers.

Klay tossed; emphasized Dubs' 4 rings to Booker

Klay Thompson was ejected for the first time in his career after getting into a heated exchange with Devin Booker, the theme of which was the Warriors' four championship rings.

It’s crazy how much better MIL is compared to BKN even without Middleton.

KD is one of the most unreliable people in the entire league in terms of protecting the ball and maintaining possession. He’s a turnover MACHINE. He should be the last guy you’d want handling the ball and carrying it up the floor to initiate offense.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

The Jazz win again.

The Lakers lose again.

Westbrook's giant expiring deal + a bunch of 1st rounders for several solid Jazz players seems inevitable to me if the Jazz still want to tank this season.

conley and gay aren't going to save the lakers. neither will hield/turner, mcdermott/richardson, or whoever else is rumored to be going to LA in a potential westbrick deal. the roster is far too flawed and they can't make 3s. it'd be completely idiotic for pelinka to deal multiple 1st round picks for them

lakers will keep losing and probably get wemby to NO

Sucks that the last few years of LeBron's career will be wasted on a team that's going absolutely nowhere, would have loved seeing him have a shot at one last championship before he retires. On the other hand, no one forced him to sign that 2yr extension and he apparently played a major part in the Westbrick fiasco so yeah... he's not a victim. Still very unfotunate though.

Yeah he’s not completely innocent there.

 

[EpochLink]

Yeah he’s not completely innocent there.

Lebron wanted Westbrook on the Lakers, just like he wanted his pal, Patrick Beverly.

 

[Elvis P]

LAL 0-4

 

[John Price]

Even as a Lakers fan this is hilarious to see. And they were asking for it too. f*** legm

I agree it's not going to save them but they are damned if they do, damned if they don't. Either you gut the future even more to try and make the play-in game at like 35-47 or you gift NO a great pick.

westbrook was 100% lebron's doing

they blew up a title winning team to bring in a guy who was the worst possible fit. i'll never get over that

And now Suggs and Anthony are gonna be out for God knows how long too. Paolo could score 40 and we may still not win a game.

I have NEVER seen a team get THIS hurt THIS much

Brooklyn can't close games what so ever.

Brooklyn can't close games what so ever.

They really need a new voice

 

[BobColesNasalCavity]

Doncic makes it look so easy. Probably my favourite player to watch right now
