2022-23 NBA Thread: “you’ll never let me down like the Heat did”, Miami fan says to giant pile of cocaine (4 Viewers)

[modogg]

The NBA has a major problem if both WCF and ECF are wrapped up by tomorrow night as there would be a 9 day delay before Game1 of the Finals, that not good for ratings.
Don't be shocked if somehow the Lakers and Celtics manage to extend these series even if the refs gift wrap 1 or 2 of them



Hope I'm wrong

i don't know. doesn't look good for Boston who according to Brogden the team hasn't spoken to each other since the game yesterday:

Malcolm Brogdon: Celtics STUNNED, Have Not Spoken with His Teammates Since Yesterday

MIAMI, FL -- Celtics Guard Malcolm Brogdon spoke to reporters at Boston's hotel after suffering a brutal loss to the Miami Heat in Game 3.------------------...

Back to the JV dolts tonight....

 

[msudaisy26]

ABC pre-game….Lakers…Lakers…Lakers…Bron…Lakers….not one mention of Denver at all….

Who cares. Let the Lakers be champion of the media. The Nuggets are on the verge of being champions of the West.

 

[Mister CIA]

Rootin' hard for Denver.

It is highly annoying but I'm actually okay with it: a) it's motivating and b) Nuggets really do need to earn it

 

[identikit]

Hey Mark Jackson, James comes in every game day super early

Sometimes he shoots badly in the actual game, sometimes good

 

[msudaisy26]

I didn't know Tristan Thompson was still in the league.

 

[ShamrockPride]

If I'm Denver, I'm fine with Lakers winning like this tonight. Let Bron go off. Just keep it close enough he's not resting come the 4th Q. He's gonna have a completely dead battery come Wednesday.

 

[Capella]

Came here to say the same thing. What is going on.

I think Denver is in a great spot staying down around 5 to 8. They are deeper and should have a chance to steal it in the 4th.

 

[PIK95]

I'm usually indifferent but this constant Mark Jackson ball washing of LeBron is getting old fast.

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

I didn't know Tristan Thompson was still in the league.

During the Sacramento/GS series, it was surprising to see that Matthew Dellavedova is also still in the NBA.

I wonder if Boobie Gibson is lurking somewhere.

They signed him off the street near the end of the regular season IIRC

Only problem is that we should all expect the Celtics to get washed in G4.

Lakers are a very good team, Nuggets should prefer to put them away.

The announcers in NB2K offer more game insight than Mark Jackson.

 

[Orange&Blue]

i jope mark jackson gets hired to be a coach just so I don't have to listen to him. good grief he is awful.

I had a whole real life shtick I was work-shopping after G1 to suggest the Lakers put TT out there to foul Jokic a bit.

Jackson and JVG to Boston confirmed?

 

[Stoneworker]

Nuggets completely out of synch but come on...17-6 FT advantage for LA?

 

[PIK95]

I know. Figured it would be 25-3!

On the Twitters it seems every other post is a photograph of Adam Silver on the phone with a caption of him ordering the referees to give this game to the Lakers (or some variation of that sentiment).

 

[msudaisy26]

According to Brian Windhorst, talks around the league suggest James Harden could be in the market for a four year $200 million contract.

LeBron definitely got bailed out with the forearm shiver to AG's neck.

That’s just disgusting.

This was my favorite.

Adam Silver probably when the Heat and Nuggets win their next game:

"I hope you liked our trial run of the in-season tournament. Next week, the real 2023 playoffs will begin."

 

[PIK95]

Lexhausted!

 

[Zigg]

Watching Jokic get the board then lead the break is fantastic.

I am a Celtics fan, but I bought the NBA package the last two years just to watch all the Nuggets games. It's been so much fun.

 

[PIK95]

Murray was setting up to take the charge, then completely bailed at the last second and conceded the layup. That was pretty funny.

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Tristan Thompson

 

[PIK95]

Twenty nine seconds to go in the third quarter, Denver up seven, NOW the announcers seen to notice the Nuggets....for ten seconds

 

[Stoneworker]

Watching Jokic get the board then lead the break is fantastic.

Joker has 23-14-11 after three qtrs

 

[Desert_Power]

Hard to be more impressive than Denver right now. They just have every answer.

 

[Yo Mama]

Man, AD needs to do something here. He can’t even get a rebound.

 

[Yo Mama]

Just so many different guys who can and do make big shots. They’re just outworks g the Lakers right now.

Yeah he is going to need a great deal of mouth wash after this game.

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Other than that singular blocked shot, he looks awful

 

[Hot Diggity Dog]

Man, AD needs to do something here. He can’t even get a rebound.

He is entering Cancun mode.

 

[msudaisy26]

I think Green just got shot.

Thought the first part would be the advantage to the Lakers. Nuggets and Heat showing us why reps in practice with your teammates actually maters.

 

[Alex P Keaton]

T Thompson giving the Lakers a boost!!!

Khloe Kardashain in shambles right now.

Scouting report: knows how to rebound.

Not sure I've ever seen a team get so dominated while playing well like is happening with the Lakers right now.

I wouldn’t say the Lakers are playing well - missing layups, can’t get a rebound, stupid passes. . .

 

[Hot Diggity Dog]

James is modeling for his statue in the fourth quarter.

 

[Desert_Power]

Easily could have won any of these games.

 

[Desert_Power]

That's bad from Jokic.

 

[trader jake]

According to Brian Windhorst, talks around the league suggest James Harden could be in the market for a four year $200 million contract.

And that's the way you do it.

It's Harden in a box!

Man, AD needs to do something here. He can’t even get a rebound.

He is entering Cancun mode.

AD calls it New Orleans mode.

Ah got it. Thought you were just talking this game.
