NBA 2022-23 Regular Season Thread Volume 1

There’s no way we’ll be bad enough for the Wembenyama sweepstakes.

At worst, we’ll be just like those Waiters/Whiteside/JJ teams who are fringe lotto. On the plus side, we did get Bam and Herro out of those picks previously. But I don’t think we’ll be a lotto team. Gotta sort our chit out quick or we may be a playin team though.

Bulls stole Derrick Rose from us with a 1% chance. Karma will reward us

Nets just lost again and it's a dumpster fire. KD gonna get traded soon?

Is KD even enough? This team would need KD, Crowder, and probably Westbrook.

A 7 footer that can space the floor and rebound next to Bam instead of a 6'5 Caleb Martin, I'd cry of happiness

Don’t get me wrong, KD would be great. But can you imagine Spo with him? Injury city.

What’s LeBron talking about on that tweet?

What’s there to be happy about Herro? Nothing

Man Spo is not happy with Herro

Why? Herro only reason we were in this game. If it was last 2 games I'd understand not this one. There were other who were worse. Admittedly I only saw most of the 2nd half but Herro was good. I'm pro Spo but this is unfairly throwing a player under the bus when he's having a poor coaching series himself and the FO messed up in the summer. The biggest issue is defense because we are just too small on the wings to play good defense when we switch.

Everyone knows it and even spo knows it ...he is acting like a dummy, his small ball and losing scenarios have not gone unnoticed, but he's not the only one to blame, so I guess there must be a reason for this mad approach

He had a great scoring half in the 2nd half, he was a huge reason we were down to begin with tho. Murray was just picking on him, they were singling him out. Unfortunately the defense is still horrible

That’s what happens when you’re the smallest team in the league

If he feels that way about Herro trying to win it then it makes no sense getting this man KD or even Donovan when we had the chance. Spo is slowly starting to fade and trend downward.

This is what I warn you. That they have to learn how to play with each other within the offense. You can't just look at individual production. A player can have good production but bad offense as a whole. The stars have to learn how to spread their scoring throughout the game to reduce droughts.

His statement suggest that they (likely Herro) is not running the plays. Plays may be called to exploit something in opponents scheme but player X could be not allowing that to happen by doing his own thing.

He's currently 2nd in scoring in the team w/ less mins than the top & 3rd leading scorers. He had the best +/- in the game out of just 2 players who weren't a negative. Was the leading scorer w/ 34pts in 34 mins, who got us back in the game in the 2nd half. He shot 62.5% in 3s & 60% frm the field. I'ma Spo supporter but what more do you want from a kid you were literally dangling for trade all off-season

Lol, let Spo take a whole seat. We had Wade/Lebron/Bosh and didn't "exploit matchups" beyond their individual talents. We don't run any offense beyond run around the perimeter like a headless chicken hoping you get open and some pick and roll.

We don't have size, we knew that coming in to the season. It's the choices we made.

Haslem was a damn victory cigar last year, and now he's in the rotation? Says all that needs to be said

[RexBoyWonder]

We have mediocre talent overall, but our roster/rotation are not maximizing it.

Even if we maximize it, we don't have enough to win big in the playoffs IMO. But we can maybe reach ECF if optimized.

Lack of size seems like a big issue - So maybe Omer/Jovic injection could help.

Lack of an elite creator scorer is also a big issue - but the only way to address that is with a big trade (Beal?KD?)

We shouldn't be this bad, but we can't expect to be great either. We don't have the roster to be truly great.

Adjusting the rotation, getting some injured guys back, trading for a high level player - those might bring us to HCA level.
