NBA 2022-2023 Regular Season Thread : Donkey Punching Poole Party

cold as ice given the circumstances + man was only two years removed from winning them a ring

[Gredival]

Who got done dirtier, Vogel getting kicked because the Lakers made the mistake of bringing in Westbrick or Bud getting iced when his brother dies mid-series and Giannis goes 1/9 in the 4th/OT and misses 13 FTs?

[kisada]

gonna go with bud on this one given the bucks decided to fuck up the day of someone who was already in mourning

plus bucks are actually a team that's expected to be good (unlike the westbrook lakers), if you literally do NOTHING and let them come back healthy.

i'd also add that lakers decision-making generally involves mouthbreathing and a dart board, so you kinda expect them to fuck themselves up anyway

Yeah but that supports the idea that Bud deserved it. He must have done something wrong for this team to exit early

Bud was on the hot seat and I think most fans wanted him gone even in the season they won the title. If they hadn't won it was assumed he would be gone then, but winning it all obviously bought him a reprieve

damn that's some cold hearted shit

[Roranora]

god damn guillotine huh

[Koyangi]

He's the fall guy. When shit goes bad, it's gotta be somebody's fault.

[Krandor]

Wow grant Williams just got fucked up bad, that man gonna need dental work

[Andalusian girls]

Book with a performance of the season to keep us alive, 45 points shooting 20-25 without a single free throw, tossed in 9 assists 6 boards and 3 steals

bit disconcerting we needed that + Durant tossing in 38-9-8 to eek out a win tbh

[Andalusian girls]

ah dang they ruined it with the meaningless foul at the end, Book grabs two free throws with 6 seconds left

[archibaldcrane]

Jokic with 30/17/17 Jesus fucking Christ

[Andalusian girls]

yeah but Ayton got him back with 4/9/0

[archibaldcrane]

AG complete this sentence: Devin Booker is the best 2-guard in the league since ______

[Andalusian girls]

idk Wilt probably

but Donovan is p close currently. take Book by a hair as he's become a better defender, is the better playmaker, and a more consistent playoff performer (while not having Donovan's off-the-dribble flamethrowing), but their production is eerily similar.

so prolly have to go back to prime-Houston Harden

[archibaldcrane]

Damn, I was hoping to get you to homer your way past "1-way Harden" and go for D Wade

[Andalusian girls]

my brother in Allah Harden averaged 35-8-7-2-1 for a couple years and besides Bron was the only real challenge to the Dubs dynasty

also reckon the Wade > Harden conventional wisdom ain't as solid as most think

[Gredival]

Random question prompted by talking about Harden. Who do you think are more inextricably linked in terms of player to staff: Harden and Morey, or Butler and Thibs?

You right

Best since Kobe

But since Booker doesn't do rape I guess we have to go "best since Jordan"

[Andalusian girls]

Jimmy so good

Knicks offense so bad
