2023/2024 NBA Season Thread

LOL, Cade is fine. He had 2 bad games and folks want to quickly change the narrative. We all know the spacing is less than ideal (Monty said he plans to make this better) and the team is dealing with injuries. My only problem is the turnovers, but i think he will fix that as the season goes on.

I think he'll be fine also and the roster construction/spacing is a major problem.....but there are some things individually that you would've like to see be better or improvement in at this point


10 per on 30% usage is crazy lol

I already let my boy @Sosa1600 know weeks ago that Russ to the bench was happening sooner than later. He should take this news well and not attack @Sony Montana

Man i'm trynna catch a job and make money and you're talking about russ going to the bench

I thought you wanted the Bulls to get rid of Wendell Carter Jr. And Lauri also?

Anyway, I think it might be a little wiser to be patient with the Klay Thompson situation and I’m pretty sure Golden State feels the same way.

They didn’t give him a contact extension yet, so that could hurt how much they might get via trade anyway….

Nah, I just didn't care when they did

 

[The Final Boss]

Like 6 diff people dropped Russ coming off the bench “BREAKING NEWS” like it’s even that serious lol

then I see him handing out turkeys like nino brown when hundreds of players do that shit lol

Y'all peoples got too much hate in your Heart about a man trying to do better

I don't understand...Beal has played 50, 40 and 60 games the past 3 seasons and hasn't played a meaning ful game in years

Plays in the preason....and is now all of a sudden too hurt to pretty much play at all in the regular season

All while having a no trade clause in his contract

 

[5th Letter]

Back problems ain’t no joke

 

[KemuriYumeSnoopy]

No more excuses for the Clippers going forward.
Harden gotta show out now

There’s a Tyler Herro conundrum that needs to be addressed

Who wants to hear it?

Go ahead. Ill listen.

Well

1. Tyler deserves to stay here and he’s a core member of the team and he’s a good guy to build around with bam once Jimmy is done

2. On this team he’s probably best suited to come off the bench, since we lack real bench scoring/an additional 3 level scorer or just a guy who can create his own shot

3. Off of the bench thing, I really can’t advocate for him to come off the bench because it’s super disrespectful to him this point to do that and he’s too good for that to happen

4. While I think we are good enough to win with him, I’d rather move him for two guys who can create their own shot/create for others to provide depth

Like for example if Herro was moved for like Alec burks and monte Morris I would like that.

I understand the front office being unwilling at times to move him for guys like harden, Beal, and maybe lavine

It makes sense because Herro provides what they provide and he’s much younger

All valid. But I just have to ask what the difference between Herro and Cam Thomas is at this point.

Super disrespectful question, sure.

But the Heat have consistently played better when Herro gets hurt. This could all just be bad luck. The Heat might have made it just as far last year with him. Yall mighta won 7 in a row with him.

All that said, we can only go off the data that we have, and thats the best basketball the Heat have played in the laat 3 years is with Herro out.

So I have to ask, does Herro impact winning? The numbers are real. We know he can score. We know he can be efficient. But does he have a positive or negative impact on winning?

The answer to that either proves or disproves almost all your points.
