Official NBA General Discussion 2023-24 V1.0

Dallas tanking the last 2 weeks last season was the best thing they could of done at that time. This rookie center is the perfect big for Luka.

Who would have guessed he would make this much of an impact right now as a center that lacks significant strength. Insane.

Mavs have 2 superstars and could’ve done some damage in the playoffs but they knew they weren’t competitive enough so tanked to keep their pick. Meanwhile our season was off the rails yet we shot ourselves in the foot with the Poeltl trade, which is continuing to cost us this season.

Both teams need this Pistons win.

But, will Masai really make a trade and lose 1 of his 3 best players while the team is playing bad? With that guy, you almost wonder if further losing makes him even more complacent lool.

Hoping for losses to ‘force Masai’s hand’ is crazy wishful thinking. He’s going to do what he believes. There is no pressuring that man. I truly believe the only path to any kind of move, is winning at least a little.

I doubt it forces him to make any trades, but it will probably keep reinforcing that this group won't work. I can definitely see Masai convincing himself that he needs to give Darko more time to make this work and change the "culture". He may even be looking at Aichuwa playing a bit better lately and Flynn being on the floor more as a positive.

Ultimately, I think go the route of kicking the can til next season to make decisions.

They have their own Aichuwa.

Wild finish Cavs vs Mavs. Niang up three misses both FTS with 10 seconds left. But Cavs double Luka and he can't even get a shot away. Levert 29, Allen was a monster

Aaron Gordon got that dog on him. On his face, on his hand. Just on him.

Spoiler:

Hopefully he's okay.

We can make history…

By beating the Pistons on Saturday. (Boston should win tonight)

Let’s be on the right side of history for once, please.

[metafisical]

I hope we lose to the Celtics and the Pistons. Ending 2023 off on a good note.

Anyway, for tonight, go Jazz, Blazers, Grizzlies, and Bulls! You too, Hornets, but you don't stand a chance against the Lakers.

This clip isn't really indicting of his IQ. He made his cut a millisecond before Ivey broke to penetrate. The help was coming whether he broke or not. Can't really blame Ivey either. The missed shot on the rebound at the end of the clip was not a low IQ play.

Wiseman does have low IQ...but this clip isn't good evidence of it.

Pistons up 20 in the 2nd. Oh mama.

Really hoping the Pistons can win this. I mean, they have to win eventually, why not now?

[Raps in 4]

Damn, Pistons are going to beat the Saltics. That means when they beat us, it won't be as humiliating and Masai won't feel compelled to make trades.

[GP2]

I wonder what the spread was at halftime. This feels like the most inevitable comeback ever.

[Basketball_Jones]

Freakin Celtics man what the hell

the comeback was predictable....now Pistons just need to keep it a close game and have a shot at stealing it at the end.
