The 2023-2024 NBA Season

[bksballer89]

For teams like the Suns, Celtics or the Bucks, it is only about titles. Any of those teams will survive 2 or 3 weeks. You said the Suns better hope…
All teams better hope. The Lakers barely won at home playing against half the Suns.

What did you mean by your “The Suns better hope” comment that doesn’t apply to every other team that has championship aspirations?

All of the suns 3 stars are injury prone. 2 of them being out at the same time for 3 weeks or so can be the difference between a top 2 seed and a 5 or 6 seed. You don't usually win titles by not having hca in any round of the playoffs. What the lakers & heat did last year is extremely weird. Do you really want me to pull up missed games by the big 3 the last few ssasons? And you are a damn fool if you don't think missed games in the regular season can hurt your seeding and eventually be a big reason why a team doesn't win a title

The Suns have more bucket getters than any of those teams. I guess you are saying if most of them are injured, the Suns are screwed? If that is the case, I’m with you. Hopefully the great teams stay healthy.

That's all i been saying. The suns seeding will take a hit if it happens. None of my comments was about when all 3 are healthy and playing

Good news for the suns is they have some contracts to aggregate to get one more guy

They also have a bunch of seconds thanks to trading pick swaps for seconds

1-0 on my NBA same game parlays. I just play these for $5 so it was only like a $35 ticket. But when you hit these at a 55%-60% clip the slow grind can make you some money.

Maxey over 19.5 points
Harris over 12.5 points
Lopez over 1.5 3s
Maxey over 2.5 3s

No embiid?

Nope. His numbers are all fucacda with Vegas. Additionally, you saw my comment about Oct/Nov Embiid. Not touching that first night out with no little preseason work.

His assist are a good early season play with no harden around because the double teams he will face

You wanna work on a prop parlay for tonight? It’s a Jokic night. His points, assists, rebounds set at 50.5. I like the over on that. Or maybe the better play is Jokic rebounds against JJJ who can’t board. Jokic over 12.5 is at -135 on DK though. Maybe numbers get better with a 13+ play.

Nice. I like that. Makes sense. He had 6 last night.

Just common sense.

Maxey looks like he ready to take the next big leap.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Maxey looks like he ready to take the next big leap.

He had 31 but on 22 shots. There’s a big weight on him now. I did see that on his drives last night he was looking for the smart play instead of just being set to auto finish. His speed is a weapon if he can use it to get guys shots. Maxey Embiid pick n roll needs a lot of work.

Right now on fd its at 49.5 but i love that

He made 10 of 22. That is 45%.

Not too shabby.

 

[The Q]

Miami @ Boston tonight, @bksballer89

Not worried

This year Celtics are winning 74 games and the title

And then will dismantle this thing cause of the stupid second apron that only idiots like

 

[trojanfan12]

Well, except for the 4th quarter, the Lakers played like crap last night. When they finally started playing well, the game looked like it should when the Suns are missing their 2nd and 3rd best players.

Miami @ Boston tonight, @bksballer89

LOL.

 

[DJ]

And Oubre looks like he will be perfect coming off the bench @fightinfunbags.

 

[trojanfan12]

I don't have a problem with it but still find it funny. 2 days after saying the plan all season ( i never believed it) to keep him at 28-30 minutes, he plays him 35 minutes lol but yeah was the right call

You understand that it's not a hard number like a minutes restriction if he was coming back from an injury might be, right?

The goal is to keep him around 30 minutes a game, but each game dictates the minutes. You don't want to lose the 1st home game of the season against a team playing without 2 of their best players.
