National Basketball Association - 2022/23 Season (Part 1)

Yeah Butler came off as a shitbag in his time in MN and also played like a complete turd in their only playoff series. He was right about KAT though. I’m not a fan and never will be, I’ll be rooting for the Nuggets to stomp.

Sounds like perhaps Jimmy wasn’t the problem.

Because Windhorst says so?

I honestly can’t remember the last time anyone at ESPN had a sports take worth repeating much less whatever the frick is going on here.

Windhorst is very plugged in. He hints at some stuff that eventually happens (probably more likely on the podcast…I don’t watch ESPN) and it’s not because he’s throwing blindfolded at a dartboard and getting some occasional hits. If Windhorst said it, I would guess that there are at least two NBA teams willing to give Harden $200 million.

And who would they be?

Are teams that desperate to get to the cap floor?

I guess after seeing the Beal contract nothing should be that surprising.

The point is that it isn’t “absurd”

I think the Clippers would happily trade a collection of their non-PG, non-Kawhi players for Harden with an understanding that he opts in and gets extended for a ton of money when eligible. I think the Bulls are dumb enough to consider it if they can make it work.

Sure, teams down 3-0 are 0-149 in the series, but those plucky Celts get a 26% chance. Why do they even put that out?

What happened there after the Lakers missed with like 28 seconds left? It seemed like players stopped playing and JVG said something like “he traveled there in the backcourt and they didn’t call it”

impressive defense by murray and gordon there.

i only watched the 4th q and jokic made like 19 offensive plays that no one else in the world can

LeBron traveled before taking the shot that hit the side of the backboard. The Nuggets got the rebound and marched down court and the Lakers didn’t foul.

The last 50 seconds was just criminal by the Lakers.
