Sports NBA Thread: 2023-2024 Season

to add I will say i think Cade Cunningham is bad for a number 1 pick being in the most dominant position as a point guard and not being able to lead his team at all, I think it’s a joke that bro said he was the 2nd coming of Luka. 2-27????

one of the biggest issues might have been the lack of good spacing in the roster, but I feel that Cade might be a #2 in this position of the next few years. I just think that some teams like the Pistons have crappy player development coaches, and/or prolly have worse executive decisions. I do have high hopes for the Pistons tho... Ausar Thompson is showing much promise as a player.


In my eyes, Ausar Thompson might be someone to develop around as a potential first option once the "raw" parts of his offense comes around as he is prolly the best defensive rookie that i heard about. The highlights and information from Ben Taylor's vid makes want to watch Thompson grow as a player.

The Pistons have the chance to do the funniest thing in NBA history and lose their last 3 games before the new year, thereby cementing their legacy as the losingest team

Tbh, if the Pistons really want, they can try to go for breaking the historic 9-73 Sixers back in ‘73. That’s the lowest point in NBA history in an 82 game seesion

ngl that was a fire game, but he has to do something to bring his team IN the process cus like you got some vets who've been around the league I think if anything it might be a coaching issue..

The Pistons should be Untiered when they end up with the longest losing streak in NBA history. At the rate they're going, I doubt they even win 8 games this season

Okay, I think some predicts today:

Knicks win
Lakers win
Suns win
Nuggets win
Heat win

Luka is the Suns father specifically Devin Bookers father


Luka is a top 5 player of all time when playing against the Suns + Clippers

 

[DerrickRose]

Suns are trash right now. Those free agency signings aren't holding up defensively much, nor do they shoot all that well.

There's a pattern for Kevin Durant teams to just rely on isolation. With no point guard, possessions aren't being optimized the way they could.

Nothing warms my heart more than seeing a father spend time with his (Suns) on Christmas

because Monty's players are so demoralized at that point and the fans are sick of the owner and FO's shit

I have been watching videos around it, and yea the FO and the players are not doing well as the FO overpays the players when they don't want to go to Detroit... its a sad scene as that type of stuff is still there after over 50 years ago when Cleveland was in spot because of a shitty FO led by Ted Stepien

Pistons will beat the Raptors. Calling it now.

I second this, leave it to another country to ruin NBA history in the making

So close and yet so far. It would have been funny as fuck if they lost but goddamn KP ain’t letting them ever lose in TD Garden

okay im about to go off because the knicks always disappoint me especially when i have money on them. RJ fucking Barrett, you overrated overyhped bum. I hate that knicks fans always hype him up and I hate Tom thibideu for always playing him a lot of minutes more then he deserves, no hes never worthy of an all-star and he cant guard for shit. Franz Wagner who came into a league as a nobody European guy shat on him yesterday and it was actually disgusting to watch a future all star shit on a 'oh im the best rookie in the draft class' over zion and ja morant headass

 

[BP]

Is Derek Rose still good?
