2023-24 NBA Thread

[wadesworld]

After an impressive 0pt, 3reb effort, Pat Williams is trending toward being an ex-Bull and possibly ex-NBA player.  Bulls are hinting he is going to the bench soon. Maybe never to be seen again.
I think we can just assume he is bad and I'll do my best to call out any above average play instead. Most likely the this is the last P. Williams post on Scoop.

I’ll bet the over on your Patrick Williams posts on Scoops at 0.5.

The Sixers sitting Embiid for load management for their home opener is interesting.

Dame and Giannis better be playing tonight.

I thought the NBA was cracking down on that?

The Bucks have allowed 24 pts in 7 mins?  WTF?

And then only gave up 7 more in the next 8 minutes.

Runs happen. Especially in game 2 of a season with a ton of last year’s minutes gone. It’s okay.

They read my post?

Bur I see they're down 15.  Does Griffin seem competent?

Their perimeter defense is...not great right now.

And apparently their offense isn't either.  Auxiliary coaching options?

Really growing weary of your over-the-top commentary in every topic.

We all appreciate you growing weary.

Giving up 68 is a lot in 24 mins.

8 Hawks in double figures through 3 quarters.

[GB Warrior]

Dame having perhaps the worst game of his career.

[MuggsyB]

113 pts allowed with 9 mins left in the 4Q?

There's a reason teams don't play this aggressively in their base halfcourt defense.

So far they've played one good quarter out of 8. Not good.

Are they overpressuring and autoswitching?  That always drove me up the wall with Wojo.

Wembanyama with 11 points, 5 turnovers as Spurs get blown out by the Clippers.

[Uncle Rico]

45 wins might have been too optimistic

He did a pretty good job with the song, what'd he do otherwise?

[JWags85]

Privilege is having enough time, energy, and comfort to actually be bothered by who sung the national anthem for a meaningless regular season NBA game.

There was better talent on The Gong Show, hey?

I haven't seen an episode of the Gong Show since about 1978, so I'll trust you on that one.

He did fine.
