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

Puke

Dam. I would play pick up or league games 6-10 hours a day growing up in inner city Boston and never encountered this.

Warriors doing way better in Luka than I expected

33% shooting versus 59% shooting. One of those is probably enough to win or lose. Both? Argh…. Luka has 2 pts in second half.
That’s okay I am not sweating until game 3.

Congrats Warriors on your 2022 title!

It’s crazy watching a team that lost by 50 last round be beating a team by 27 that won its G7 by 33.

The mavs have pretty much played no close games this playoffs. Maybe once versus Utah.

If/when Warriors win this title, Steph officially moves into the top 10 players of all time list.

This series far from over and the Celtics still scare me.

It’s nice to see the warriors playing well though. I think people vastly underrated that grizz defense. Especially without ja

It’s more that this GSW team is undersized and less athletic than most teams, including Memphis

GSW probably the favorites to ring, another for Steph would be cool but this team is a lot worse than any of their prior finals teams

Warriors are the heavy favorites to title at this point. Looking back on it, this was pretty much an eventuality once Middleton got injured in the first round.

If he ships it will kind of feel like Peyton Manning getting a second ring to add to his legacy. It’s true that he did win a second ring, but it was mostly him in the right place at the right time.

Steph’s won’t be that bad. But his performance in these playoffs hasn’t really been that of a t10 all time player, so it’s a bit wrong for it to add to his legacy. But you are right that it will. That’s just how it works.

I think that’s a bit of a harsh comparison. Steph was still a top 10 player in the league this year. Was he helped by having a great supporting cast? Absolutely. But he’s not being carried to a 4th title the way Peyton was carried to a 2nd ring.

Shirts and skins? I don’t see how you could avoid getting scratched going skins for significant minutes. Too many heathens out there with talons. Unless you’re saying inner city Boston has elite nail game?

I still rate what Phoenix did during the year but they absolutely choked.

Eh, don’t really think winning a title or not this year should move the needle that much with regard to all-time rankings.

He’s just outside the top 10 right now and another ring is enough to push him over the edge.

Neither Miami nor Boston have an answer for this imo :man_shrugging:

Moses Moody sighting.

Damn that luka scratch is huge. Does Wiggins have lee press ons?
