2023-24 NBA Season Thread - Page 80

Clips had won all three of their home games by 20+. Harden shows up and they lose. I can’t imagine what the front office was thinking by trading for him.

Clippers had a team. People who follow this team closely will understand. Whoever pulled the trigger on the Harden trade needs to be fired. If it was Ballmer like I've heard then what can you do... its an embarrassment. How many examples of these types of teams have we seen fail to understand its not how you build a championship squad. I was loving the NBA season pre Harden trade, now I f*&ken loath it

I mean they weren't a title contender to begin with. They are much more fun to laugh at now though.

I know they're trying to integrate Harden into their lineup and it's too early to draw conclusions, but holy heck. He was -28 against the worst team in the league!

When are we gonna start talking about Maxey for MIP?

Is he improved or is he just getting more opportunity?

No need. The results show it all!

Embiid is lighting it up. 19 in Q1

He doubled his assist rate without an increase in usage. I’d say it’s a combination of the 2

Ballmer is as good of an owner as he was a CEO.

ninjacookies · 11-12-2023, 07:49 PM

Another day, another 120+ point game allowed by the Pacer's defense.

Easiest money all year.

Nomad · 11-12-2023, 07:51 PM

Nice heroic effort by Pacers secondary. One point game, I think they will clamp here on out.

gomiamigo · 11-12-2023, 08:17 PM

Fifty-burger for your mip, TYRESE maxey!

ninjacookies · 11-12-2023, 08:18 PM

My sincerest apologies to the punchable face twins.

Ausar at least looks like an inexplicable monster on the glass and defense.

gomiamigo · 11-12-2023, 08:27 PM

Ausur's defense is really something to watch. So impressive.

rhigh2390 · 11-12-2023, 08:27 PM

I have to say... I love seeing Philly rolling without Harden while he has yet to win a game with his new team.

pingbling23 · 11-12-2023, 08:29 PM

87 for maxey and embiid, goodness.

drobfan8 · 11-12-2023, 08:40 PM

Luka is cooking.

I think we'll see him get the MVP this season. My bank account is hopeful

It's a thing of beauty.

I would have thought the stars (Kawhi at least) would have had to sign off on that move. Baffling.

For the talent they have, the loss to MEM was particularly embarrassing.

Great to see.

Klove looking like a grampa destroying strangers in the hood youtube prank IRL.

Hit Slemby with the okie doke then gingerly eurostepped for the bucket.

daeve · 11-12-2023, 09:21 PM

Houston's 2nd unit would probably beat the Wizards.

ninjacookies · 11-12-2023, 09:58 PM

Officials in Phoenix taking 3 minutes doubled gloved up treating the ball like Magic just made his HIV announcement. All for a paper cut.

Nomad · 11-12-2023, 10:10 PM

They must know more than we do.

ninjacookies · 11-12-2023, 10:17 PM

Phoenix Phoenix'ing.

Zero defensive answers in the final minutes.

OKC super legit, underthinking notwithstanding.

ninjacookies · 11-12-2023, 10:34 PM

Interior sizing is definitely going to be a concern for GS heading into april. Over half the WC teams have made it a point to employ the 90's big man strat.

Kevin Durant in the 4th quarter tonight: 7 points, 1 turnover, on 1-7FG.

I peeked into the KD thread earlier today just to decide it's not worth my time if people [bagholders?] on this forum still think he was the "best player" on the teams where he won a ring. It's been stated ad nauseum so I'll just let them have their cake and enjoy KD's descent into irrelevancy on my own. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
