2022-23 NBA SEASON: 1st Half

The NBA informed teams on Wednesday that the 2023/24 regular season will begin on October 24, 2023, and end April 14, 2024, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports (via Twitter).

The ongoing ’22/23 regular season opened on October 18 and will conclude April 9, so next season’s start and end dates will be pushed back nearly a week.

According to Charania, the league also told teams that if and when a proposed in-season tournament is approved, the initial regular season schedule would have 80 games per team instead of the standard 82. In that scenario, the remaining games would be scheduled once eight teams advance to a single-elimination format.

As Charania reported in September, the in-season tournament would have cup games running through November, with eight teams advancing to knockout stages in December. All of the games would be part of the regular season schedule, and the finalists would each have one extra game.

In short, the remaining two games for the 22 teams that don’t advance to the single-elimination rounds would be finalized once the cup games conclude, possibly at the end of November.

The in-season tournament has yet to be finalized and still needs to be approved by the NBA and the NBPA before it can be implemented, but obviously the league is targeting next season for its initial run.

Is there something on the line other than a trophy for this proposed in season tournament? At least large stacks of cash to the players on each team that advances, up to a gigantic check for the winners?

Shams saying Trae Young and Nate McMillan had an "exchange" at Friday's shootaround and that is why Trae chose not to attend last night's game.

I am sure that is fine

Unrelated: The Lakers are at least starting to look competent now, and with Lebron out. Russ has been much better for them off the bench, AD is starting to look more like the superstar he's supposed to be, and their team shooting is progressing towards the mean after a historically awful start.

They still aren't a contender or anything, but they're going to be a tougher out if this continues.

Update: Anthony Davis is playing the best basketball of his career and the Lakers are at least kinda good. Until he gets hurt, any way. They're 8-2 in their last ten, after starting 2-10. Davis had just an absurd line a couple nights ago. 55 points, 17 boards, 3 blocks against the Wizards.

I can't disagree with anything this man is saying, but it's not like this happened overnight.

The decline of the fundamentals of basic basketball has been going on for decades.

Is it a decline or just the evolution of the game?

I don't think the rules have changed to allow these actions.

Oh shoot Cade Cunningham is done for the year. @Brian Fowler how was he doing this year? Living up to a first overall pick? Time to tank for Wemby?

He's been out for a month debating whether or not to have the surgery, but he was putting up about 20-6-6 in the 12.

The team plays hard, they compete, but they've been wrecked with injuries early and they are currently staying in the sweepstakes without tanking. Have to see if they go all in and trade Bojan.
