2023/2024 NBA THREAD: WHO WANTS TO GO ON PARADE?!?

[I Skied Bandini Mountain]

What's the solution? Let certain fouls be eliminated and just "play on". These guys are so fast, strong, and athletic that there's practically a foul every play in the paint unless the defender steps aside. Sure theres a ton of great defensive plays, but the constant fouls slow the game down too much. The "and one" proves that they can play through many fouls...or it's barely a foul and those should be the play on.

It wasn't just the fouls, there were video reviews on a few calls that took way too much time to resolve, and then the shot clock stopped working and they kept starting and stopping the game trying to fix that.

Video reviews of video that wasn’t even hard to make a judgment on first glance

Exactly!

High scoring, no D, horrible officials, insane scheduling (2 teams seeing each twice in 3 day or 2 day span)....pretty down on the nba this season. Like most sports...shorten the season, make the games count more.

He's always reached for excuses.

And Jodie Allen isn't running the type of organization that would take a holistic approach to players' well being. The sheer amount of injuries to a very young team has raised a lot of eyebrows.

It's been great going to games this season for less than the price to see a movie?!?! Thanks Jodie!

Ayton has looked pretty good of late. Not that he's worth a max deal, but dude provides positive contribution when out there.

P.S. Please sell the team to Uncle Phil.

He definitely has. When he's engaged and in, he's truly dominant. He just strikes me as not all that driven.

Jodie sucks camel dicks.

Nuggets vs Wolves is pretty entertaining going into the 4th. Ant has been on a tear and has 30 pts.

James Harden playing defense like he's never played defense before!

Dude's a putty head. It's hilarious he used more effort to defend his own team mate than against the whole league for the last five years.

The end of this Lakers/Bucks game is pretty wild.

And LeBron gets away with so much shit even when he's not playing.

Nobody watching pro hoops anymore?

Hawks own the Celtics
76ers get shafted by the refs
Warriors barely holding on

That Celtics game was wild last night. Fantastic game. I think the announcer said there was 48 lead changes or something. Celts need to step it up for the playoffs

[EWG]

Three teams with 22 losses in the west. Crazy.

Wolves Nuggets and Thunder Suns tonight. Each game matters for seeding. Fun stuff.

Am I glad I missed it?

[ötzi]

Everybody clears way out of the way and leaves the whole middle of the court for Tatum to win the game in regulation, and ...nope. Obviously the guy's great. Clutch? Maybe not so much.

[riser4]

They into auto asphyxiation.

[TahoeJ]

Seems like MVP is going to come down to Jokic, Luka, SGA, and Giannis.

I have no idea who I'd pick. They all have different cases. I think maybe Luka is due and he's 4 points ahead in PPG than the next highest player. I don't know - what do you guys think?

[Danno]

I think it's Jokic's.

[The SnowShow]

I think it's Jokic's.

It should be. He’s the king of the casual triple double. 22 this season.

[EWG]

I think it's Jokic's.

Every article written on the MVP this year that picks someone besides Jokic - and there aren't many - essentially starts with "Here's why I can make a case for someone who's not the Joker." So that might be a sign.

Also, Jokic is a top 11 all time guy playing before our eyes, which is pretty cool (assuming he keeps going this strongly for another 5 seasons.)

Top 10 is Jordan, James, Russell, Kareem, Duncan, Magic, Bird, Shaq, Wilt, Kobe in some order, right? Jokic is 11 as long as his body doesn't explode. And he could be higher if he keeps winning rings. If he wins the MVP this year he's at 1 championship (and counting?), 3 MVPS, 6 all NBAs. At age 29.

If he finishes his career with 1 Ship, 3 MVPS, and 10 all NBAs that cements #11. Another championship or 2 and and/or 4 MVPs and he's pushing somebody out of the top 10.

We shall see, but it's pretty cool to be able to watch history like this.

[Danno]

I'd take Jokic over Kobe in a heartbeat. And not just because I don't like rapists.

[Danno]

And I would be stunned if he doesn't win MVP
