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

The way they’ve used him is pretty wild - he doesn’t play at all unless Horford is out, then Blake starts and plays surprisingly well. I thought he was just going to be a team mascot. Maybe all the rest is helping.

LUKE workin’ too. Brad believing in Kornet and Hauser has had such a nice payoff.

I don’t know what the hell happens when Timelord comes back. If you don’t collapse on a Brown or Tatum drive they just score, and if you do they have 3 or 4 guys shooting 40%+ on 3s. Now they’re adding a lob threat, and a great defender.

I think the most disappointing thing about the Suns is Booker seemingly hasn’t gotten much better. He still doesn’t play much D and is trying to foul bait. You’d think he might pick up a thing or two on defense from Cp3 but ah well, nevertheless. Keep crying Book!

Fucking Jamal Murray man, killed the mood

His one from yesterday “why was I working on fundamentals this whole time” had me spit my coffee out.

Just watched it - “coach popped up like a whack-a-mole” got me.

Huge LOLs at the end of LOL/PHI here

Wow PHI completely threw that game away at the end, Davis could’ve won it with a FT. Maybe the OT will deliver.

DAL 10/24 from FT as a team, get it together

Hahahaha. This is getting really close to “Zion should apologize for playing basketball.” Of course habitual instigator CP3 is in the middle of it.

NOP/PHX rematch Sunday as well btw

Edit: Phoenix not Portland I have the dumb

The Suns are a trash heap. Monty had Payne in over Booker at the end.

Book’s 4th quarter:

Checks in at 6:27
Turnover at 4:01
Foul at 2:27
Checks out for Payne at 1:50

CP whining after attempting his own garbage time layup for no reason. Got 9th row seats for Sunday.

Was so ridiculous. If they just shot 50% they would have won. They missed eight free throws in the fourth quarter.

Booker’s last three games he scored 11,17,14 I think.

I really feel like he hasn’t improved at all over the last 3 - 5 years. What has he added to his game? He’s a known quantity at this point.

He was first team all nba last year and on course for it again this year

Okay. That has a lot to do with being on a good team now. His stats haven’t changed that much and his defense is still lacking.

Compared to say - Tatum who now can actually go left, finish through contact, and cares more about defense.

I don’t catch a ton of Suns games, so it was more of a question than a definitive statement.

The Suns team is hot and cold this year. You caught them on an awful night but they’ve mostly been good, but need a piece or two with crowder being out.
