2023-24 NBA Thread

[Jockey]

I can appreciate the first hand perspective, but I can honestly say you're the first person Ive ever heard describe OKC as "really cool".  My sister has a couple of old coworkers/now good friends who are OK St grads and Oklahoma natives and they describe OKC as "Fort Worth...but a lot less cool".  And thats cowboy land Ft Worth, not Dallas.

There's a ton of oil and nat gas money there, so there is some cool and nice stuff.  But its pretty comfortably in the bottom 3 of least desirable NBA cities with Sacramento and SLC.

As I said, I was mainly in the Bricktown area which has been pretty much gentrified. Converted warehouses, upscale restaurants, etc.

Harden skipped practice.

Terry Stotts stepping down as an assistant for the Bucks isn't really the best news for the Bucks right now...

[4everwarriors]

Pissin' match wit Giannis/Griffin, hey?

[Uncle Rico]

Pissin' match wit Giannis/Griffin, hey?

Maybe he wrote a letter

[Skatastrophy]

People leave bad managers

Time for the "head of cabbage vs Adrian Griffin"

[4everwarriors]

Pretty sure #34 iz inn charge, aina?

I can't disagree with you.  WTF?

[Uncle Rico]

Yeah, maybe he didn’t like the letter

[Hards Alumni]

Dunno, maybe Dame didn't like his old coach.

[MuggsyB]

Predictions on WWWD?  (When Will Wemby Dominate).  2025 or 2026?

[4everwarriors]

Yep, Stotts and Griffin butted heads. Rumors of disagreement on how the offense should run. Stotts wanting the 3 ball, and Griffin wanting the offense to go thru #34.
Predictably, not good for #0, aina?

Dame should some leadership and write a letter

3 ball? That's against NBA rules only 1 ball.

Predictions on Dame's usage rate this year? His usage rate has been over 29 since 2016. I'm guessing it'll be ~26% next year with Giannis maintaining over a 30% usage rate.

[CreightonWarrior]

Doesn’t appear that Stotts was mentally ready to just be an assistant again.

[4everwarriors]

Or he soon realized Griffin is not ready to be an NBA head coach, aina?

[BrewCity83]

This.

[Uncle Rico]

Stotts decision to quit shows great leadership then

[4everwarriors]

Obviously it's still preseason basketball, but the Bucks look like green snot, both offensively and defensively, aina?

[rocket surgeon]

come on fellas-they're playing their "C" & "D" players...thanasis and beauchamp in at crunch time says it all.  waiting for mallory to spell aj green

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

If the Bucks season depends on an assistant coach, then they weren’t going far anyway.

[Uncle Rico]

4elder wants Giannis and the Bucks to fail so he can finally be right the Bucks should have peddled his azz despite them winning a title and all

[WhiteTrash]

File under 'bat $h!t crazy': hearing Patrick Williams wants a $200MM extension.

For both Bulls fans and non-Bulls fans information, Williams is an under sized lazy power forward for the Chicago Bulls. He has averaged 9.7 PPG and 4.3 RPG.

I predict the Bulls will give him $250MM

[JWags85]

Clearly you’ve never heard of manifestation 

[WhiteTrash]

Clearly you’ve never heard of manifestation 

Ha! The tiny amount of people who have seen him play or even know who he is, would say the Bulls would be crazy to resign him at any amount. I honestly think Joey H would be a more effective NBA player than Williams. $200MM?

I guess, slightly in his defense, he has been a starter in the NBA; albeit on one of the worst teams in the league, and he is only a starter to justify the Bulls taking a borderline 1st round pick with the 4th pick in the draft.
