Around the NBA (and other Sports), 2023-24, Part 3

Adrian Griffin, who is presumably being paid not to coach the Bucks this year, is probably laughing his head off. They were 30-13 when he was fired.

How many more coaches can the Bucks go through before people start blaming the real culprit which is their GM ? He has consistently whiffed on every move on the margins: zero rotation players from the draft in half a decade, no impactful free agent signing since Brook Lopez in 2018 and some truly bizarre trades (five second rounders for a washed up Crowder ? DiVincenzo for a broken down Serge Ibaka ?). At some point even Giannis can't paper over all the cracks.

Magic in 6 still alive!

Curry won Clutch Player of the Year. Regular season award.

I don't think the Cavs will turn this game around, even after deploying two former Celtics legends.

ORL's starting forwards have combined so far for 47 points, 13 assists, and 0 TOs.

Also, Banchero has 7 offensive rebounds to go with his 7 defensive ones.

Meanwhile, Suggs is shooting 9-11.

Also, they played every minute of the game until halfway through the 3rd period, or else very close to it.

Embiid definitely playing well, but watching him and Kyle Lowry Flop has me turning the **** channel.

[Bar Fight]

Watching other teams handle their business at home in the Playoffs. Must be nice

[Fierce1]

And just like that, Philly and Orlando are back in the running.

Possibly the dumbest challenge I've seen from Mike Malone.

[zoyathedestroya]

What a dumb challenge by Malone. One, it was a clear push by Jokic. And since they reviewed it, they also determined it was goal tending. Now it’s an and-1.

Is Ham gone this offseason?

Add cheese and he'll stay.

Ham for Joe...who says No

[zoyathedestroya]

Can't think of many trades the past decade that are better than Aaron Gordon to the Nuggets a couple of years ago.

Jokic is destroying Lebron and AD while Tatum gets bitched by Haywood Highsmith and Caleb Martin

[CelticsPride18]

The Lakers really stumbled into 2 superstars and only had a 1 year window. That’s hard to do

To be fair, Lakers got an aging Lebron and they made the mistake of trading for Westbrook.

Denver's starting five fit so well together.. Each player has their own designated role that they excel in.. It seems like our starting 5 Just doesn't have enough basketballs to get everyone in rhythm with no player who does the dirty work..
