2023/24 NBA REGULAR SEASON THREAD "THANKING FOR WEMBANYAMA"

if KAT thought the wolves had the most impressive season in the western conference last year, he might have the showtime lakers in his scope at this point

there’s no way the wolves are getting value for KAT he’s going to need to be in a souped up version of the westbrook-wall bad contract hostage swap. his salary numbers are completely crazy. a randle trade actually makes a lot of sense

the thing i would love personally about KAT being put on the trade market is i can guarantee you one team that is going to sit that one out

KAT CULTURE

MEOW

holy shit

Yeah, that's good stuff.

I felt such a sense of relief this morning reading the quotes about Harden's Clips debut and everyone from PG to Lue talking about Harden just having to get himself into playing shape because of a lack of training camp. So glad he's off the Sixers regardless of the outcome.

No games today

i can't believe they've done this

victor's first game in MSG is in the early ESPN slot tomorrow night -- boxed the first celtics/sixers rematch of the season out of national TV. and it would be hard to argue w/ that decision!

why arent there any games

election reasons and things of that nature

ah right

the beatings will continue until morale improves

election day i guess

oops xxp

the upshot of no games last night is a bunch of interesting games tonight. got victor’s MSG debut *and* warriors-nuggets on ESPN, plus

celtics-sixers
nets-clippers
heat-grizz
pels-wolves
cavs-thunder
mavs-raptors

i will be watching celtics-sixers

the battle for atlantic division supremacy

Draymond Green is out tonight. Personal reasons. Gary Payton II is questionable. Illness. Warriors are closing out a difficult road stretch in Denver.

think its cause they made the conf finals mostly, and theyre the lakers and have lebron

yah ppl see the words lakers and lebron and ad and forget what year it is and believe they'll cruise plus they've got everyone's favorite fake good player austin reaves

They never looked dominant in any playoff games they won and then got swept. I thought they did better in the off season than expected but getting an 8th seed is no given imo

theyve really got it all, im predicting a lakers sweep of the nba playoffs

Yah they are mediocre with a lebron/brown ceiling. Which could be anything on any given night, neither the model of consistency any more.

They basically just retained all their guys and picked up some more ok 9/10 men. they were banking on Reaves making a leap, hasn’t happened yet. Everyone else is who they are and are a year older.

That harden TikTok is perfect

why take the open 3 when you can launch the ball into the 6th row

they were banking on Reaves making a leap, hasn’t happened yet

like half the nba prognosticotti thought he'd be an all-star this year lmao

hard to predict much for the Lakers, feels like even if everything goes right they'll still wind up laboring to get to 45 wins. whereas if things don't go right they may look like one of the worst teams in the league as they did pre-trade deadline last year. they haven't been fully healthy yet but I kinda doubt they ever will this year. also LeBron turns 39 this year so like what's the best case scenario there

fwiw I think this Rockets team might actually surprise a lot of people

Lmao Giannis got ejected for mean mugging and now the Bucks are gonna lose
