2022-2023 NBA Season thread

Ehhhh guys if it was Dirk that passed Kareem, I'm gonna go ahead and say I would like to see the same. It's really not a big deal to stop the game in the broader scheme of things. A record that stood for 40 years with many not thinking it could be broken? It just ain't that deep to hate on stopping the game.

For all that, I'm glad the Lakers lost, too. lol

Cam Thomas - another 40 pt game
damn 20 FT attempts? who is this guy?

[BPo001]

This Lebron speech before the Lakers game is cringey.

[Scoobay]

how are the raptors so bad?

their starting 5 has 4 players we'd all love to have - vanvleet, trent, barnes, siakam... pretty damn good team there but they stink this year.

[Scoobay]

Mikal with 45 tonight... happy for him and would be nice for the suns to implode and lose out on bridges taking the next step

[BPo001]

Ben Golliver: Suns? Kevin Durant says trade requests are ?great for the league? despite criticism: ?Teams have been trading players and making acquisitions for a long time. Now a player can dictate where he wants to go, leave in free agency or demand a trade, it?s just part of the game now.? ? via Twitter BenGolliver

Guy will say anything to try and defend his legacy. Guy has all the talent in the world, but it really makes you appreciate guys who do it the right way.

[DevinHarriswillstart]

Dodo a whopping -27 so far. Luka really made these types of guys better.

LMAO Kings 176, Clippers 175. If that isn't evidence that defense is no longer a thing in the NBA, then I don't know what else to say.

Clippers we?re up 145-131 at the 3:58 mark

Teams up 14 with fewer than 4min won 99.7% of the time

Clips found a way to lose it

[DevinHarriswillstart]

Doesn't surprise me. League is now all about who gets hot and when. Good news is that I still believe any team can win this year because of that.

ESPN Sources: Orlando Magic F Jonathan Isaac underwent season-ending surgery today to repair a torn left adductor muscle. Brutal setback for Isaac, 25, who played only 11 games this season after missing two years with a torn ACL. An MRI revealed the adductor injury on Wednesday.

Feel bad for the kid. He was a guy I wanted out of the draft too, but can?t stay healthy unfortunately.

[tap2390]

Isaac will be fine. He's getting that Uncle Tom Daily Wire money.

[DevinHarriswillstart]

Ja Morant might be the dumbest player in the league. My god. What a tortured life he must live to know that he isn't true ghetto.

[EricaLubarsky]

Likely going to be 25-50 game suspension when the dust settles.

That 6 spot suddenly doesn?t look too bad, assuming the Kings overtake them

IMO that's not happening.

He absolutely should be suspended for at least the rest of the reason. Sounds like he might have taken the gun in the team plane too. Guy is a fucking idiot. Group up middle class, makes more money than he can dream of, and is about to kiss it all away because he wants to be hood all the sudden.

[tap2390]

I completely agree it should happen -- for Ja's benefit as much as anything -- but IMO it's not happening.
