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

Nah. They look old and slow. Fortunately, the Woyas do too.

Lakers need to load manage the shit out of AD and LBJ in game 5 and basically punt it. It can’t be obvious enough that Curry and Klay get a lot of rest. Then go full tilt game 6. That is the only way.

Yeah G2 strategy of chuck from deep, switch nothing and give up 50+ 3P ATT, hope you run insanely hot and win a variance fest. If down 30, take the night off.

Need to pull up that HBob post again.

Good time to remind everyone that Jordan Poole’s 128MM/4Y contract only kicks in next season.

Horford and Timelord look cooked. Boston should probably consider having a non old or injured big on their roster.

I wouldn’t put it past Embiid and Doc to find a way to blow this, but this damn team just can’t make a 3 and they’re terrified to drive at Embiid. He’s been phenomenal on defense. That chase down block on Jaylen was nuts.

12 point game that wasn’t that close. Philly just worked ‘em. Embiid was awesome, the timeline where he Greg Odens is GRIM.

Hope the 3s fall in Game 6 because feedthebeast is right, the Celtics can get nothing in the paint. It’s either tentative, stripped, or swallowed up by Embiid.

My husky son Grant - I think he killed the Celtics best chance. They cut the lead to 5 in the 2nd quarter and he committed back to back horrific shooting fouls on Embiid jumpshots (where Embiid was really just trying to draw fouls) Just brain dead fouls. I don’t think they saw him again until garbage time, which is big because Rob Williams just isn’t useable against Embiid. He should be, but he ain’t.

Losing this series would suck, man.

Horford shooting 25% on 3s is why the paint is clogged. Embiid doesn’t even have to contest those shots right now.

I think since the horford shimmy last game he is 0-10.

Since horford claimed he was an elite three point shooter he keeps missing.

JJ Reddick interviewed for Raptors job.

I forget how much these All-NBA selections can affect players’ contract situations, lots of $ on the line

The Celtics are favored tonight and if they win will be huge favorites in game 7. They just beat Philly by 30 a couple nights ago

Yeah they could lose tonight and they are dogs to win both but let’s not pretend these are unwinnable games
