NBA Season 2022-23

I'm torn.  Need the Bucks to lose but I just can't stand the Lakers winning.

Go Bucks.

Easy for me. If it gets in the Celtics' way, then that team needs to lose. So, go Bucks losing!!

Besides, we swept the Lakers already so I'm happy

Lebron out so I expect easy Bucks win.

Even with all the trades I still expect Lebron and AD to just “coast” through this season. A lot of other West teams got better and LAL is hardly a shoo-in for playoffs. I think their moves were more for looking ahead since most of their acquisitions aren’t rentals

It’s crazy the amount of free throws they gift Giannis for just “Bull in a China shop’n” his way through the lane, even when defenders are straight up.

Bron needs more help

Jonathon Isaac made his return tonight.

11 minutes. 3 points 3 rebounds 3 steals. 1 block 1 assist.

The lakers made a lot of moves. The west is congested. Does a team of Lebron, ad, and deangelo scare a Phoenix team with Durant, Booker, what’s left of Chris Paul and ayton? I don’t think you can even make the argument the lakers have the best two players in the series.

Lakers lose to the Bucks. Is there even a sense of urgency for the Lakers to start piling up wins? Do they think they can just pick their spots and then make it to the play in?

[jpotter33]

Shows you how out of touch with the league Chuck is - in the aftershow said Jae Crowder is a very "selfless" player who "doesn't have an ego" and doesn't mind what his role is and that he sometimes doesn't get touches and other times gets lots of touches. This is the same guy who hasn't reported to the Suns all year long due to not liking his role and thinking he should be starting. 

Like, you can't make this stuff up. It's as if he was completely oblivious to this fact.

AD looked disgruntled the other night when LeBron broke the record. Do ya think he may have had it with LBJ and want out? Or is it just wishful thinking

Lebrons incredible self centered ness maybe waning on him . 

I never pull the Lakers or Heat , can’t do it , not in my DNA

My total guess:  AD was irritated that a close game was stopped for 15 minutes to honor an individual.  He probably cared about winning the game.  He still probably should have faked it more in the moment.

Reggie Miller said this a bit jokingly yesterday, but basically when AD grimaces, it's 3 weeks (of an injury). And AD has not looked himself over the past week at all

I was telling my Lakers friend this, but I do think AD is playing hurt and trying to get by, but at some point I think he'll be sidelined for some time (2+ weeks), if not most or all of the remaining season

Lakers were cooked after that ceremony.

I think once that ceremony started someone said in one of the threads that it was time to wager a lot on the Thunder.

He said he was just upset they were losing in a game they should have won.  Apparently he had been in the tunnel just prior to that blowing off steam.  Said he spoke to Lebron about it and all is good.  As much as I love laker drama and anything detrimental to them I don't think it's anything.

I think the whole ceremony thing was a distraction for the team.  And it was a drain on LeBron.  I can understand there being some impatience with this but also, I am sure they all support LeBron in this.  They just need to put this behind them now, get their new players acclimated, and get focused on making the playoffs. 

If LeBron and Davis are healthy, they can make some noise in the west I believe.  But they need to get these new players integrated, and that can take some time.
