Gotta love the Suns doing load management on the season opener. The top teams really don't give a shit about that rule. lmao
Correct
Like I mentioned a few months ago, a $27m/yr salary in 2023 is the equivalent of DeAndre Jordan's $11m/yr contract in 2013.

Because that’s where I’m at with it
By domino Go To PostWhat if you understand the cap and are still disgusted by how much some ppl are makingThat's fair but don't use it as some sort of analysis of whether a team is hamstrung by said contract and what it means for roster building. You gotta decouple those two things.

High-floor, low-ceiling wins for everyone based on these projections. There's definitely gonna be 4-5 teams in the 20-win range so these are overtly optimistic lol.
By DY_nasty Go To PostNone of those guys matter more than Cade being backTheir team is stupid young and Bojan is the only one that can hit a three. Him being on the floor makes someone like Cade's life A LOT easier. They're just gonna be really bad versus just merely bad. The spacing is going to be atrocious.
Speaking of the Pistons, this was a decent read: https://theathletic.com/4989571/2023/10/24/pistons-monty-williams-battle
Mostly about trying to balance player development while also trying to win some fucking games so the team can be in the hunt for a play-in spot at the end of the season.

do i understand it correctly that the tournament is just games that would've happened anyway? so instead of regular lakers vs warriors in november it's suddenly a semi final game.
By DiPro Go To Postdo i understand it correctly that the tournament is just games that would've happened anyway? so instead of regular lakers vs warriors in november it's suddenly a semi final game.Yes. A certain subset of games from the regular season are used to determine seeding for the play-in tournament. Only the final of the tournament isn't part of the 82-game schedule.
By DiPro Go To Postdo i understand it correctly that the tournament is just games that would've happened anyway? so instead of regular lakers vs warriors in november it's suddenly a semi final game.Correct. The only exception is the championship game. Those two teams will effectively be playing 83 games over the course of the regular season instead of 82.
By friskySHOOKface Go To PostBeal already injured and not playing on opening night?Yes
Oof
By friskySHOOKface Go To Postwizards were smart to get PooleI mean, no lol
Poole doing his best Harden impression and averaging 30 on 25 shots will keep the lights on, at least.
Suns fans better get ready for more "this KD trio has only played _____ minutes together this year" graphics.

By reilo Go To Postwow kibner has me on ignore my own boy doing me dirtyMy brain has been wrecked working with the most senile of coworkers this morning.
It's strange that they go that far into Oregon, who has a team, but almost no territory in Nevada, who doesn't have a team.
By reilo Go To PostJeannie, dont be greedy bae,
release the lakers broadcast to the mass.
By diehard Go To PostAnd Nevada has a sizeable former Utah residents/Mormon population, no?

Following up on "young teams don't win" mantra:
It's SUPER rare. Thunder winning 40 last year is an exception.

I finally made the cut for my buddy's Youtube TV family this year, so my new way to avoid life is back to basketball!! Actually really looking forward to having it on in the background again.
Probably just be a Bucks fan lol. Sorry, but I really want to see Lillard win a ring.

By reilo Go To PostFollowing up on "young teams don't win" mantra:The fact that they played great defense with no big at all is really lost in stuff like this lol

By DY_nasty Go To PostSumner waived 🤣 Ish Smith byke
IT in shambles
Damn. Sumner was good last year. Deserves a team.
Jokic the best. Dude just want to be a family man and ride horses. The NBA thing just a side hustle to him. That's my man
By DY_nasty Go To PostSumner waived 🤣 Ish Smith byke

what year is it
By reilo Go To PostPistons are gonna be baaadWhat it's considered bad? Vegas has the O/U at 28.5 wins, which is probably right on the money with Cade back.
Whenever I see Heat Culture from now on, I'm going to think of the time they were down 5 points with 10 seconds to go in a Finals clinching game and chose to give up.
By Koko Go To Post
All these statistical projections offering up a season of mid. Boston at 57 wins and then noone else at above 50 lol.
Raptors 46 wins
Timberwolves 48 wins
Nuggets 48 wins
lol
