2022-23 NBA

Happy for both Miami and Denver. Denver because I’ve been a Jokic Stan for like 7 years lol. Miami because Jimmy does it the right way and called out all the players who play/walk thru their career the way I hate.

Do you happen to have specific link to Jimmy calling players out?  I believe you... just don't feel like researching 😂

Lebron said he was considering retirement last night which I don’t think is real surprising. I’m sure the older athletes get, they all consider it at least a little every offseason.

But if his goal is to play with Bronny he still has to go through another year. 

Fair statement after a long season for the guy who has easily played the most minutes in NBA history….all while under the microscope

I give him retiring at less than 2% though

I see Lebron flirting with Father Time a little bit.  I don't see him retiring either.

I could also see him being a huge attention whore about it and mid-October he still hasn’t committed to coming back. 

Boston making the series interesting. Still have one, maybe two huge games left before the finals.

Not predicting it but it wouldn't shock me if Boston wins the series.

For sure. Winning after being 3-0 has never happened in basketball, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a formula to do it. 

Celtics by 35 if Miami gets off to a slow start 

Otherwise Boston by 5

I’m on Twitter and FB trying to find the “NBA is rigged” crowd 

Bizarre series.

LeBron is a PR genius.  He makes one statement and the narrative shifts from "LeSwept" to "Is he coming back?"

Nuggets get 41 frkm Jokic, but lose…..

Finals just got very, very interesting. Adebayo has been crazy good as well. 

Jokic so far in the finals:

Game 1: first player ever to have a triple double in his finals debut

Game 2: 41 points

Game 3: first player ever to have a 30/20/10 triple double in finals 

There's probably an NCAA basketball thread on here somewhere but I thought I'd just post it here since he's a projected NBA player. Bronny James had cardiac arrest today. Sounds like he's ok though.
