2022/3 season thread

Warriors lose to Timberwolves after some horrible turnovers at the end, everyone played their part in throwing that away but Poole with a terrible shot towards the end and then a sloppy turnover in the next possession we had, this team makes you want to pull your hair out when they get so sloppy

Mavs need to tank for the remainder of the season and try and get the best draft position possible, waste of time them going forward trying to achieve anything in the rest of this season.

Not a hope they tank. Difference between the play off, the play in, and staying at home is two games in that conference. It's all to play for.

Just seems utterly pointless going forward for them, they ballsed up big-time (as expected with the Irving trade), only chance they may have in the short term of building something is to get a high pick in this years draft, so that's why I think they should tank.

Wouldn't be surprised if Luka does leave or try to at least as it looks like the Mavs are going nowhere.

He's contracted for a long time and Dallas are about to have a lot of salaries off the books this off-season.

I think due to this he at least gives the team one more chance to build something around him before asking out.

As it stands the amount of assets a team would have to give away to get Doncic would make it very difficult for them to be any good anyway.

A bad loss tonight for the Celtics 130-111 defeat to the Wizards. No defense in sight all night.

Outside of Tatum there was nobody near their best.

Good post and I agree with all of it, the Kyrie thing was pretty crazy, I wasn’t a genius when I said it wouldn’t work out, might get an initial boost but most likely will end bad, let’s be honest, Kyrie is gifted but when was the last time he put in a legit solid season???

Bulls came back from being over 20 points down to the grizzlies to win by 21. A huge win in every sense.

The Lakers are 13 - 6 since the All Star Break. They are in good form, back to full health (bar LeBron getting fully match fit) and look a lot better balanced since they moved on Westbrook, Beverly and replaced them with superior players at the deadline,

It’s not hard to understand why there is a bit of hype there given their momentum and considering LeBron and AD have already delivered a championship previously. If they finish this out and enter the playoffs fully healthy they will be a very annoying 1st round draw for Sacramento or Memphis.

I can buy being down on this team in anticipation of injuries and missed time during a playoffs series from AD / LeBron. That’s what sunk them against the Suns in 2021 and it’s becoming an expectation that one / both miss time frequently.

Your LeBron hating is whatever, but again not that hard to see why he does the chalk thing. The fans cheer, it entertains people. It’s okay to have a little fun like, lighten up.

Who have the Lakers beaten over this good run of games? I don't remember any decent team playing them. I remember they beat the Suns, because I watched it, but they were on a bad run at the time having lost four of their previous five. I remember the commentators saying that if they didn't improve, the Suns, they could be battling for the play in spot.

Feel bad for Luka and the Mavericks.

No one can tell me that the Bucks didn’t lose to the Celtics on purpose after last nights performance against the 76ers.

So they haven't faced, or beaten, the Nuggets, Grizzlies, Kings, Bucks, Celtics, 76ers or Cavs. Those are the real tests of where you are at.

Beating teams with a record around .500 or less means nothing.
