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

I kinda wonder if in these situations it would be smart to just punt a game and give your starters lots of rest. Obviously play them some so they aren’t rusty but only like 10 mins

It’s tough though, you’ll still need some production from your depth some games you can’t just give guys used to 15 minutes 40 either and have that work out long term

Do people really enjoy watching Butler on offense? Foul baiting is just boring as fuck.

I may have told this on the other site but When I would get out of school late nights, I’d stop into Wendy’s or McDonald’s for a bite because ldo I’m freaking starving and there were times when I just drove right the fk off from the drive thru lol if you didn’t speak the language yo ass wasn’t getting served player

:joy: here comes the ghost of Our Back

Miami might be a lot better and have a better chance than I expected. I figured butler was just feasting on bad defenses but he’s having the playoffs of his life.

If he can put up numbers like that against this defense then damn

Close, 32

Ugh is that really the only game tonight?

Eh, Pritchard had to play a lot more so he got hunted which you can’t do vs Smart.

Yeah 18 fts is pretty ridiculous

Think it’s just down to health. If Boston gets healthy they win. If they don’t they have no chance.

Yeah good point

Can’t believe they had one day off after a 7 game war. That’s tough as hell.

I mean that’s every playoffs since I’ve watched. Winning the ring is 50/50 ability and health

Also just a huge change stylistically for Boston. Only really Jrue and Giannis were initiating offense for Milwaukee and Giannis obviously is not a traditional PG. Miami had Butler, Herro, Struss and Vincent tonight. All of those guys can dribble, pass and shoot.

Herro looks like one of the nerds at my daughters middle school

McKinnon might be the second best hockey player, definitely worth checking out.

Can Boston borrow a couple of those random 3 and D guys Miami seems to crank out by the dozen? God damn.

I just noticed the Avs are on lol

Butler is putting up better offensive stats than Luka so far this playoffs.

Obviously his defense is much better.

He’s also played weaker teams, but it’s weird he hasn’t gotten any hype and people act like Luka is dragging to mavs to wins while Miami is just a complete team and Jimmy getting no hype.

I’ll be real I didn’t really buy into him being this good either though. Dude wasn’t very good last year but looks like he flipped a switch.

Will be interesting to see if he can keep it up when smart comes back
