2023-24 NBA Season Discussion

Oh ok, guess this is the general board too now

Why? Because I think Bud is a good coach?

Doc Rivers has never been a better coach than Bud. Do you think he will this season?

You never responded.

Bucks are now 15-16 with Doc.

I get you think this is the "General Board" when different opinions than yours are shared.

What's your thoughts on the Bud/Griffin/Doc coaching carousel?

I never responded because you've made a recent habit of responding to me by being a dick. Can't see any future interaction here leading to different places. Have a good one dude.

I also agree they should have kept Budenholzer.

Was listening to a Bill Simmons podcast and he made an interesting point: with like 18 good teams in the league now you are invariably going to have 5-6 of them go into full panic mode after losing in April and fire their coach/make some big trades when really they didn't do anything very wrong, it's just a very good league now and the chips didn't fall their way this time.

I really hate how much the coach is the sacrificial lamb. If the roster isn't sound, you're not going places. Coaching can manage only so much. The whole "rearranging the deck chairs" routine franchises do in order to "show fans that they're making the effort" is basically insulting.

[eminence]

Really hope Utah management decides to be competitive all the way through next season. Post trade deadline has stunk to watch. The intentional tanking by sitting out the majority of our decent players night to night just doesn't give much incentive to watch. There's a few young guys of interest, but mostly the minutes are just filled with fringe NBA guys with low expectations.

Luka is the only Pg you take over Brunson in 2024 specially factoring in playoff play. Mind boggling Dallas had both. What a player Brunson is

Has had a better season but until i see a strong playoff from him im sticking with Brunson. Sga wasnt the star he is now when he was in playoffs before but he was ATROCIOUS in playin game Vs Wolves last year

[Statlanta]

Brunson was no star in a conference with Steph Curry, Jamal Murray and Luka Doncic. He is a superstar compared to Derrick White, Jalen Suggs and Terry Rozier III.

It could be argued Brunson would have never reached this level playing second fiddle to Luka. And with how the Mavs look now with Kyrie in place of him, I think they will probably be fine with it.

That being said, losing him in free agency was still a loss. If you had whatever they could've gotten for him to the current roster, they'd be even scarier.

This is a really weird post.

You just purposely ignore the best PG's in the East like Trae Young, DeJounte Murray, Damain Lillard, Darius Garland, Tyrese Haliburton and Tyrese Maxey.

Did you forget they exist or are you trolling?

def has to be trolling. can’t be on a basketball forum with such a horrible take

Keep comments to the post, don't go off on the poster.

[Colbinii]

Andre Drummond's attempted poster is the most Shaqtin-a-fool thing I have seen all season. I actually laughed while watching the replay in bed last night.

[Peregrine01]

Has there ever been a better half-court offense than these Nuggets?

[TheGOATRises007]

Nuggets have the 1st seed wrapped up. 2 very easy winnable games on the road left.

I wonder who they'll face. 99% sure they'd move on vs the Lakers or Warriors, but a Nuggets/Warriors match-up would be interesting stylistically.

I do not want to see the Nuggets at all lol need us to move up to the 7/8 bracket so bad

I do think it'd be a more interesting series than Nuggets/Lakers

It's definitely interesting.

I would have Minnesota and Denver as clear favorites [5 game series] in their opening round series against whomever they play.

OKC is more interesting with clearer weaknesses and a complete lack of size which can be exposed against all of their potential opponents in the 6-10 teams.

I am picking Dallas in 6 against the Clippers, but knowing full well a locked-in and healthy Kawhi/PG13/Harden is a more talented team than Dallas.

As a Minnesota fan, I would much prefer to avoid Dallas in round 2, which is could be a blessing in disguise in losing the game last night.

Sac @ Nop tonight, big seeding implications

As a fan I'd like to see Nuggets v. Warriors and Lakers v. Thunder in the playoffs. Thinking it's probably pretty unlikely that'll happen. Sacramento I think is definitely the odd one out here. Phoenix has two tough games left, NoP three tough games left, I think there's a chance they fall into the play-in going 1-2, would feel real nervous for them if that happened.

No good feelings on where things will end up, its a complete crapshoot honestly.
