2022–23 NBA season

Of course, I'm hoping the Jazz move up. Number one would be great, but two would be just as awesome, Scoot Henderson would fit this team. We've never had a lottery pick actually move up, either stayed where we were projected, or dropped down, so I'm thinking the time is now.

It'll be the Spurs. Popovich changing his retirement plans as we speak.

[Maxx]

Fuck the Spurs

[Pooker]

Spurs have always been my second favorite team, so I'm not unhappy about it. Glad it wasn't the Hornets or Houston. Maybe Portland will finally decide to rebuild and trade Dame to us.

[LL!]

Dame should be traded I agree. But to s team in the conference finals. 😏

Spurs really got lucky with this one. They could use a star vet and then they'd be making some strong noise with a very young team.

Hope the Pistons win the lottery, but somehow they'll drop to 5 or some shit.

I did immediately think of you when I saw them at 5.

Boston? Him and Tatum would be cool, but I don't think they'll trade Brown for him. Maybe to Miami for Herro? Or Denver for Murray?

I'd HAPPILY trade off Herro for Dame.

I've been envisioning Lillard to the Sixers for Tobias Harris's contract, Maxey, and picks.

I'm really glad the Spurs got the pick, it's hard not to have some kind of support for a team called Spurs, but also they have an existing French fanbase from Tony Parker which should help Wembanyama out.

Only problem is the lack of star power they have around him, but I guess they also just became a prime free agent destination.

They have a shitload of future 1sts to work with.

I haven't felt like we had a good pick in years, last time it felt like maybe we could draft someone good we ended up going with stupid shit Joshua Primo. Hope we don't screw the pooch and give Pop a good farewell present in 3-5 years.

I can't convey how happy I am that the Heat took game 1 in Boston. Absolute necessary win.

Jimmy Butler is not the best player in the NBA, by a wide margin. However in crucial playoff games he turns into the greatest player of all time. It's amazing to watch as a fan.

It's true. His determination to close out games is unlike anyone else.

Me watching Erik Spoelstra coach circles around the competition:

I actually caught the last four minutes or so. Jimmy Butler is wild. I honestly hope he somehow can will them to a title.

Playoff Jimmy Butler is the NBA's answer to January Joe Flacco.

This is unbelievable.
