2023-2024 Official Around the NBA Discussion Thread

Knicks are better than they look , imo. It's not just Randle who is missing, it's Mitchell Robinson as well, and OG does not look 100% fit, but around playoffs he will probably be healthy.
Burks but especially Bojan are yet to find their sweet spots.

I still expect Heat to go on some 8-10 games winning streak because schedule for them is so damn favorable.

For start, within next week they can beat Cavs and 76ers. Hell, they play Cavs twice in next 10 days.

I think a healthy Knicks team with a full season of OG wouldve been a top 4 or 5 team in the NBA. Very dangerous team. In some ways they remind me a lot of D-Rose Bulls with Thibs when they won like 60 games.

I think that OG is going to get FA offers that are through the ceiling. It will be interesting to see if the Knicks keep him. This year’s FA class is pretty weak. OG picked a great year to test the waters.

The Knicks will go as far as Brunson takes them. If he gets nicked up at all, they are in trouble even if all the others are healthy.

What a talent. Hard to believe that the Mavs let him go.

I'm not sure how long Josh Hart can play 40 mpg.

Kyrie made one of the most difficult game winners I've ever seen.

A running sky hook from the top of the key with the left hand is skill personified

He is a trick shot legend. I wouldn’t be surprised if he has practiced that shot before lol

Kyrie's skills are off the charts.

There are some bad news for us tho, 2 times Pelicans, Kings, 2 time Bucks, Clippers, Warriors. All those teams ( including 76ers ) will be playing against us for something.

I dunno about you but for me thats actually good news.

Win or lose itl be like a slap in the face or wakeup call after the pathetic performance we saw against these sub 500 teams so far.

We just cant think to coast and expect to be able to turn it up when we need to.like we saw against the Raps. A good hard fought match againts those teams might be just the thing

Victor will get quadra double at some point. He wasn't far off tonight. Crazy.

Wembanyama could be the kind of player to get the NBA's first (official) quintuple double, noting his career steals high is five.

He averages 5 deflections per game, 12th highest in nba

If he ever figures out, works hard, stays healthy, he can legit be one of best players ever.

Somebody wrote on reddit last year that difference between him and Bol/Bamba & others is incredible hand speed. Normally players with 8 foot wingspan have very slow hands & slow reaction, Victor's hands are amazing.

You forgot... turnovers as well. Lol with how high his dribble is, teams are gonna game plan to swat the ball away.

Wpuldbt be surprised to see a 25pt 14rebounds 12 assist 10 blocks 1turnovers lol

This is the argument for him to get 10 assists and 10 steals in a game. And the points and rebounds are a given (a quad). THe real question is can Wembanyama get 10 steals in a game he gets 10 blocks.

I can see him getting both a steals quad and a blocks quad. But to do both in one games, that's a lot of defense. The internet stats that the highest ever blocks with steals is at 7 (Olajuwon).

trivia: Draymond Green is the only play in NBA history with a triple double without getting 10 points (12 rebounds, 10 assists, 10 steals on 4 points).

Damn, i would forcefed him to +6 points if i was coach.
