NBA 2022-23 Season Catch-All

I realize he could have scored even more?

Y'all like 6'2" dudes dunking?

How can he be 6'2" while looking not in the least 6'2"?

Man, that was a HELL of a performance. Like, the mountain of dunk contest performances since 2000 is now Vince, Lavine/Gordon and.... Mac McClung?

I don't understand picking Joker 7th out of 8 starters? Am I an uneducated casual?

Rooting for Dame and Giannis!

What did they see from the past 18 months that made them think that was a good idea?

Sabotaging both LA teams in the same season.

Zach Lowe says he shouldn't even be in consideration for 6th man but that alone should make him the frontrunner.

Have you met this Ballmer fellow?

Joker in an interview said he wasn't built for an all star game.

He's right. It's not an actual game.

Mind boggling.

The Clippers had a pretty good trade deadline push. Then they go do this which makes the Eric Gordon + Bones Hyland moves sabotaged.

I guess Gordon is used to it so he will shrug it off. Bones needed a reset and now probably needs another reset.

What's the MSFT-under-Ballmer equivalent of this Westbrook deal?

Buying Nokia?

Great point.

It's weird but a mid-season game starring Joker, Dame, Luka, Giannis or Ja is 100% more exciting, for me, than whatever the All-Star game has become. Some second quarter passes from Joker get me more excite than watching guys stand around between the 3 lines.

Jak with 21 PTS 18 REB 2 AST 3 ST 1 BLK

9-11 shooting but free throws pretty bad at .429 he can stand to improve there.

Raps with the win.

At the end of the 3rd Boucher had an enormous coast to coast finish with a dunk, followed by blocking a 3. That was nice.

Voting now that "rule of cool" should also apply to shots after the buzzer.

I’m not sure if anyone else caught the Clippers / Kings game the other night. My wife and I tuned in during the 4th quarter and were treated to the 2nd highest scoring game in league history and an absolutely clutch performance from Malik Monk and De’Aaron Fox.

If you have League Pass it’s worth going back to that one.

I can't tell who AD looks like: Prince, Jimi Hendrix or an If They Mated version of both?

Dame's doing Dame things again.

14 straight. Middleton on minutes limits. Giannis out last two (3 really). As deep as anyone after getting Crowder on board. Milwaukee has done an amazing job of surrounding Giannis with complimentary players. I feel like Denver has missed opportunities of complimenting and amazing player in Joker. Just an ass bench. Feel bad for him.

Jokic's game log is just hilarious. He's shot under 50% ONCE this season, and this isn't Dwight Howard we're talking about in terms of shot selection.

Wait. Somehow I’ve missed this. He’s shooting 63%? Lmao.

EDIT: Fixed typo

AND 40% FROM THREE

(Yes, I know, he's taking 2 a game, but STILL)

oh boy

ohhhhhhhh boy

oh boy

i don't know what to do with my hands

EAT SH*T MIAMI

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.

I hope the dude gets sat down by AI or something, cuz the decision-making right now is positively catastrophic.

Think about the people in your life that display norm-breaking and/or violence-adjacent behavior.

Do those folks listen when someone with more experience, "Sit them down," or do they have to learn the hard way and/or get lucky and grow out of it?

I'm not a social worker but would an intervention even work with someone with this much power/fame/money?

I'm legitimately asking.

Oh, there is absolutely no guarantee it'd have even the slightest effect. But I am in favor of a final hail mary rather than just watching dude f*ck all of his sh*t up.

That's fair.

I hope he gets it turned around for his sake and those around him.

Welp, we'll see. Dude is incredibly lucky Silver's commish, David Stern would've given him a "fix it or you're out of the league" ultimatum right quick.
