Official NBA General Discussion 2022-23 V4.0

meh, the same heat team got swept in 2021, and then they came back with 1 game away from the finals, and now they are in verge of going to finals. Patience is key. I believe in the team.

exactly, anything could change. Denver/Miami had down years too, so its not always glamour. Just need patience

Patience is key when things are working and you fall short and you continue to add / adjust.

Raps clearly have a lot of work in front of them to get better. Our record this season vs them proves that.

already fired our coach. So changes have already happend.

One of these days I'd like to see a team take full advantage of their roster size. Like fill up the whole roster with high energy guys and just keep subbing them every 3-4 mins. Full court press every single time, super agressive on both ends, loads of movement and screens, an absolute war of attrition. I'd like to see that before I die.

I was sort of thinking that last night, Lebron had played the whole first half, and I want to say there was like 6 mins left in the 2nd Q

Lakers had made a bit of a push to grow the lead to like 10ish, and the Nugs called TO

I was thinking, like that's a great momentum breaking TO, but also, you are now letting bron catch his wind back

Sort of put me into a spot of thinking, like would I call TO there, or am I just on my guys to push the pace and try to burn out LJ

Luckily I am not a coach, but something to be said to tiring out your (in this case older) opponent

It's that time again!

The fred van vleet performance against Bulls which illicited meltdowns on this board:

26/12/8 on 22 shots

Jamal murray tonight:

25/3/5 on 18 shots.

THIS IS HOW WE PLAY THIS STUPID GAME.

Even after Fred's near triple double, some still wished he was traded for D'Angelo Russell. Where you at Walt?

Last year we had Wiggins performing well in the playoffs and this year we have Jamal Murray. Love to see Canadian players playing prominent roles on contending teams.

Lets wrap this up Jimmy

[Prestige]

The Heat and Spoelstra can develop and maximize the output of their players. Similar to the Spurs have over the past few decade. I have a feeling Nurse would have benched and demoralized guys like Strus, Caleb Martin, Duncan Robinson. Hopefully the next coach can extract more value from our players.

[tripa]

Kyle Lowry with some impactful rips/deflections

[tripa]

Marcus Smart stinks.

[scuervo1]

Jalen Brown with those 2 missed free throws ewww

[Clutch0z24]

Caleb Martin is playing amazing.

[Fairview4Life]

Celtics are beeeending here. Just might be ready to break if the Heat can score a couple more quick buckets.

Russell had a subpar conference finals series against Murray and the best team in the league. I still would have traded Fred for him at deadline, to inject some quickness and creativity into our guard play. Or Dinwiddie. Or Terance Mann as Masai tried to, but the Clippers said no. Fred has run his course here, needs a fresh start.

[WaltFrazier]

Wow they just showed the Nike Ja Morant commercial with multiple Ja's putting in gym work. I assumed that was gone forever.

[HumbleRen]

C's waking up.

[LJKO]

Oh no, Celtics can't miss T_T

[Son Goku 25]

Refs excited now

[dafan590]

Lowry...please finish them tonight....dont waste any time....sweep them back to boston

[HumbleRen]

i need C's to win this. I need more basketball.

And those would be bad deals. Russell is unplayable if he’s not scoring. Fred can at least contribute if he’s not scoring.

Terence Mann would make us worse but is a good piece. I wouldn’t have minded that deal.

[Los_29]

Reggie just said it but Lowry has to give them something. He’s been struggling the past three games.

[Boogie!]

I can't see Miami winning a game against Denver tbh. But still rooting for themcto beat cs.
