RandomAct Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Kemba literally can't make the Mavs any worse. Low risk/high reward signing, hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contentious C Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Quarter post of the season and the Celtics are undefeated against non-Cleveland/non-Chicago teams. I'll take it. Doesn't 100% bode well for the playoffs, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted December 1, 2022 Author Share Posted December 1, 2022 Quote 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.

Brian Fowler Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 On 11/21/2022 at 5:09 PM, Brian Fowler said: 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirFozzie Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 The Celtics game plan this year is to come out throwing haymakers. Theoretical, basketball scoring haymakers that is. Because everyone has a plan until one of two things happens.. A) They get punched in the face or B) The Boston Celtics start scoring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.
