The 2023-2024 NBA Season

[bksballer89]

Obviously Curry and LeBron are still really good. But....

I mean---- I have seen LeBron have a lot worse teams and get a 1 seed.....now obviously he is not anywhere near what he is--- but his numbers show he is still "great"....is he? Is Curry still great? 10 seed?

Are they top 25 guys? Do they impact winning that much at this point? Maybe- but the records paint another story. It is certainly not like the NBA is loaded with tons of great teams right now.....there is as much parity as I can ever remember....there is only 1 team (Boston) that I think really even compares to some past very good teams.

Warriors are a 20-25 win team without steph

Damn my bad- I guess i didnt realize he missed another over half season of games....best ability is availability though and if he cant stay healthy anymore he isnt worth much anyway.

He meant they would be a 20 to 25 win team without him. Obviously Steph is past his prime as is LeBron. But they are maintaining very strong performances at their age

They are both easily top 25.

Somewhere in the 10-15 range.

Superstars based on name brand and past accomplishments more so than current impact.

But still very high level players.

Top 25? That is just beyond stupid.

I’m good. Paced myself nicely. I went gummies and gin and tonics. Last two hours of the night I drink 3 water bottles and that usually leaves me hang over free. I’ve already been to Mass haha

what would it take for Philly to move up to 5? a win and Indiana and Orlando losses?

Correct. Philly is likely 6 or 7. I think the Pacers and Sixers win for sure. Depends on if the Bucks are going for the game. I heard Dame is playing.

Cavs seem like they are sitting guys...though so far have only seen the guards out (DM, DG and Levert) with no injury designation on allen or Mobley.

Are the Cavs locked into the 4 spot or do they need this game today for homecourt in the 1st round?
