Official 2022 NBA Offseason and 2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

[Thread]

The fucking Warriors and their coach aren't even man enough to whine about the officiating. Kerr acts like he gives a shit about the product the fans are watching, when he's just counting free throw attempts. :lol

Players, coaches, management and ownership long ago gave a shit about their product.

[MultiTroll]

:lol Bitch ass Kerr complaining about the refs
Huge stain on NBA history.

Good riddance when Kerr, Curry and the bitch crew are sub .500 and then done done.

[TD 21]

:lmao At Kerr, arguably the luckiest person in NBA history, who's pseudo dynasty has been built in part due to getting away with murder with regards to moving screens, having the audacity to continue to play poor them because those arrogant pricks can't hack the fact that their time has passed.

Luka went Bad Santa on his son Devin today.

Side notes:
Scores his 10.000th point. Fastest since MJ, 7th all time (358 games). Also 6th youngest.
Shares 3rd all time on points scored on Christmas day.
Ties Nba record with 8 threes on Christmas day. ( Grayson Allen also had 8 threes today.)

All in all a nice evening.

Yeah, your Spurs. I needed ya's in those (circa's) so, "whatever it took" to keep the Suns at bay (when my Lakers were in the shitter, or, got by my Lakers on the up&up) was entirely Jake with your's truly. You was on that NBA tit, just like I was, and Kerr and his contingent were.

They tore 'em a brand new asshole in that 4th quarter last night up the street. Just a fuckin' shame that the local radio is off today with ESPN taking over till 6AM tomorrow morning. 24 hours is like a lifetime on something like this. Though in the post game radio coverage last night they're setting up Frank Vogel as the fall guy. He's it.

Is this about the Spurs lottery luck, the Horry hip check (whether you liked the rule out not, the league would have looked like a joke if they didn't uphold one of their own rules) or other?

This is about the NBA holding tight to your hand just like they held tight to mine. When (we) needed 'em most they were there on-the-spot for both organizations. I don't have to have mine pure and unadulterated. I just wanted minePERIOD

I didn't have to reason it out on how I got 'em like "you" need to do, TD. I don't need that so I can walk away with it. I just walk away with it, eternally grateful for the hand down needed in the moment. You gave 'em no choice in Miami. [They'd] strung your restraining ropes and sold your shit and you did it to yourselves via Duncan not letting go soon enough. It's human, hell yes it was, but look what it cost you and he ended up giving her everything anyway. He just didn't have what they'd strung ropes for. It's gone.

How did the NBA "hold the Spurs hand"? The only thing you can credibly say is winning 3 all-time lotteries and that's fair, but the Spurs also put themselves in position to have a relatively good chance at it.

It also doesn't guarantee anything other than having the possibility of building a championship team.

Report: Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga has major issues with Steve Kerr (msn.com) (https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nba/report-warriors-jonathan-kuminga-has-major-issues-with-steve-kerr/ar-AA1mwfIC?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=1881f6416721465aaeb973ae1bab4d3b&ei=18)

Kuminga scored 16 points in 19 minutes Thursday, but Kerr preferred Andrew Wiggins to close out the game. Wiggins stayed on the court as Golden State blew an 18-point lead in the final seven minutes. After the game, Kerr explained that he chose to stick with Wiggins because he was playing well and had helped the Warriors open a double-digit lead.

[TD 21]

Despite the Warriors supposed reluctance to trade Kuminga, him, Paul's expiring (he'd be bought out to join a contender of his choosing) and draft capital makes the most sense between the two teams.

Maybe that helps them eke into the playoffs, but they're not going anywhere either way and despite filling the need of another self sufficient scorer, he'd be another front court player who can't space the floor.

Yep. Who said this 3 years ago?

"I think I'm the best defender to ever play this game," _____ said (https://art19.com/shows/dubs-talk/episodes/95d4d204-0513-4470-b093-9cc2ea51909c). "One hundred percent, that's my opinion. But I also think I view the game a lot differently than most people view the game. I think I just see it from a different perspective. I think when you look at the things that make a great defender: reaction time, toughness, being able to see the picture long before it develops, and most importantly, in order to finish a defensive possession, you've got to rebound. And I think I rebound well. And so when I look at all the facets that make up the defensive side of the ball, I think I'm great in every facet. So I think I'm the best defender to ever play in the NBA. I'll stand by that. I'll put myself up against anyone."

Also going to be interesting to see Pop and Doc, two very similar coaches now duking it out for Most Losses All Time.

Of all the nba coaches who coached more than 400 games, Popovich 5th highest winning percentage (behind Phil Jackson, Billy Cunningham, KC Jones, Steve Kerr and Red Auerbach, all of them had comparable or better roster strengths to Popovich teams), and 10th in playoff winning percentage.

He has 29 more wins than #2 Don Nelson, but 302 less loses. Of all the coaches who had 1000+ wins, only Pat Riley, Phil Jackson, and Rick Adelman had less losses than Popovich.

Even though Pop is #1 in wins, he is #12 in losses in the all time list. I am not sure what you are expecting Pop to do as a coach.

Doc Rivers had 2 more losses, but also 269 less wins, unless you want

All numbers as of end of the 22-23 season.

[MultiTroll]

all of them had comparable or better roster strengths to Popovich teams
Noooooo.

Now if you want to post AD (After Duncan) or better yet AKZ (after Kwa got Zaza'd) you'll get a real clear picture.

Even though Pop is #1 in wins, he is #12 in losses in the all time list.
9th place now, 7th place incoming soon. Currently tied with Jerry Sloan.
He will pass George Karl in March.
May also pass Rick Carlisle. BTW absolutely no comparison as to who had the better rosters, Pop or Carlisle. FFS Carlisle took one of the GOAT teams to 7 games in 2014.

I do think the Spurs draft capital will greatly improve the roster.
OTOH i could see Pop making a run at the all time loses record. He will certainly crack the Top 5.

[ambchang]

Noooooo.

Phil had jordan, Pippen, shaq and kobe. Riley had magic Kareem worthy Lebron and shaq. Every successful coach has a loaded roster. I can’t think of one single coach who won a title, or even got to the finals with a shit roster.

Riley with the Knicks was just OK, and even then he had Ewing, Oakley, Starks, mason (rest his soul).

Pop did well when nephew was here. Even with a roster led by derozan and lamarcus the spurs out did their expectations. In fact, year after year the spurs were too old, and yet they squeeezed multiple titles out of it. They were too or since 2006. And they got a title in 2014. Outside of 2009 to 2011, the spurs were contenders every single year. 2003 was supposed to be a rebuild year and the spurs won a title. Yes, it was a phenomenal run by duncan, one of the greatest in league history, but the way the spurs played defence was incredible and a single player, no matter how great cannot single handedly prop up a teams entire defence to make it one of the greatest in the league.


If you want to remove Duncan, then Kawhi, the yeah, pop wouldn’t have much to fall back on. But that applies to every single coach in the history of the league.

[ambchang]

9th place now, 7th place incoming soon. Currently tied with Jerry Sloan.
He will pass George Karl in March.
May also pass Rick Carlisle. BTW absolutely no comparison as to who had the better rosters, Pop or Carlisle. FFS Carlisle took one of the GOAT teams to 7 games in 2014.

I do think the Spurs draft capital will greatly improve the roster.
OTOH i could see Pop making a run at the all time loses record. He will certainly crack the Top 5.

Like five or six years after he got the all time win record?

[MultiTroll]

They were too or since 2006.

On being the next "face of the NBA", ala Jordan, Lebron:

“I feel like it’s mine to take,” Tatum said, via Jared Weiss of The Athletic. “I do feel like, if we win a championship, it would be more distinguished and clear. But I understand I’m in that shortlist for sure. But yeah, when LeBron retires, the face of the league … that’s tough. But, we win a championship, I got something to say about it. I know that.”

Nuggs something like 7 straight now vs the Phaggots.

Gordon continues to grow and is a solid all around player. Hope to see him just continue to add.

I don't what exactly the score was, about 74-70 and the call that Stephina got on a trey attempt that bricked. It was Kirby Bryant level. :lol
A Nugget came around and got him from behind, all ball and absolutely no body contact, i mean zero. Stephina was something like 1-8 at that time so ABC/Disney ref rang up the Nugget on the spot.

I know they list Zion around 280-285 and most accounts have suggested he's been pushing 300 in recent years. Assuming he lost a little bit this season, he's maybe in the 275 range? I think a 260-265 Zion Williamson could probably stay relatively healthy maybe. And if he did he'd maybe be in the MVP discussion if the Pelicans as a team contended for say a top 3-4 playoff seed. He looked really good last night.

yea, he looked great last night, but once again got injured... He's at his best when he's agressive, but then he also gets injured... He will have to learn to become more of a shooter, if he wants to be injury free. Blake Griffin kinda did it.
