2022-23 NBA Thread

It was mentioned. Which is likely why the Bucks waited.

It is very sad and unfortunate. But you can only judge what happened on the court - and it was pretty bad. He probably should have removed himself from the bench, but that is entirely his call.

I have absolutely nothing but gratitude for Bud's tenure. He took that team that next step. But I think in the NBA a new voice is needed every so often, and I think we are at that point with Milwaukee.

Bud was absolutely the right coach for the Bucks when he was hired, but I don't think he's the right coach now. Outside of the championship, it's been similar to Atlanta for him. Great regular seasons but run into issues in the postseason.

I know excluding the championship is a big exclusion, but they were a shoe size away from being out in the second round. You can't take the championship away, but the same flaws kept coming up in the playoffs.

I agree with Damian Lillard.

Meh.  Dame is trying to get Giannis to Portland.

I'm listening to NBA radio now at work and Steve Novak is about to be interviewed about the Bucks fyi.

He's not on community watch?

"about the Bucks" or "by the Bucks"? 

[MuggsyB]

I didn't hear all of it but Novak was excellent in his analysis.  I think he played for Bud so he has some bias but Steve is really knowledgeable about the game.  I also once saw him drain about 30 straight trifectas warming up pre-game vs Cincinnati.  The guy could kind of shoot a little bit.  97.4%  from the FT as a Sr. doesn't exactly suck.

Harden might want to wake up if Philly is gonna pull this off.  3-23 (and 1-8 from distance) since his brilliant G1 performance.  He's been a total abomination to put it mildly.

ESPN announcers at Suns-Nuggets Game 3 just said Durant had bad body language in Game 2.

Who does KD think he is? Justin Lewis?

How were his slaps of five?

A tad blue.

The fact that #34 has said nothing publicly about Bud's chit cannin', speaks volumes. Much different then when Kidd was given da heave ho, aina?

Not really. It's been 36 hours and he's largely been off social media since they lost.

[MUfan12]

And it was Kidd that said all that, not Giannis himself.

Facts don't care about feelings

[4everwarriors]

Wrong, #34 offered to use his influence and speak to management on behalf of Kidd, hey?

Lol

Damn....Booker wasn't messing around last night.  20-25 from the field?  It's interesting that he does a lot of damage in the mid-range.

That's why we need Chase to become a mid-range shooter

In other words ...

Well people criticize the idea of getting buckets in the mid-range and Booker is proof that it's not dead.  The guy only averages two made threes a game for his career.  He's able to get to his sweet spots off the bounce, elevate, focus, torch dudes, and mince the mesh.  He's a tremendous offensive player. 

[Skatastrophy]

Thibs is baffled. The Heat backups are cooking.

[MuggsyB]

I was wrong about the Knicks. They're done and will likely lose in 5. 

[Herman Cain]

Love watching Jimmy destroying the Knicks.

GSW has no size.
