2023-2024 NBA season

[Pooker]

What a disgrace. Imagine all the little kids in Portland that just wanted to see him make a 3 pointer and he can't even hit one. What even can you trust in the world now a days?

Insane streak to finally come to an end. It's been going on since 2018, I think? I can easily see him not going another game in his career without missing a 3.

[GhostMachine]

Yes, it started in 2018.

But, 0 for 8? Either those shots were under pressure, Portland put some good D, or he needs his eyes examined.

[Maxx]

Or off nights happen, even to the best of all time.

[Pooker]

Do you really think Curry hasn't hit shots under pressure or against good D? It was an off night. Everybody has them. Curry's are just far and few in-between.

He's also the same age as me and I was walking around this morning with an unexplained limp. So... He's getting old.

I doubt I'll have much more to post in this thread for this season since we're 2-21 now (wtf). 

Anyway, Monty Williams just said at a presser "we're starting to figure out we can score if we space the floor properly". Well no shit coach. 

The streak is going to end tonight, I can feel it! Jazz have an injury list a mile long, and just lost to Cleveland with none of their good players playing. Y'all should have this one in the bag.

[Chris2K]

Nope.

Can't believe nobody expected the sudden resurgence of Kelly Olynyk.

[Pooker]

Duds gave his headband to a fan and pulled another out of nowhere to put on his head. He's a national treasure.

Some dude on reddit bet his life savings on the Pistons snapping their streak yesterday. Oof. 

I don't know who they could beat at this point.

Cade's in a tough spot where he's a genuinely good player who Detroit is basically leaning on to be a franchise cornerstone. I think he's the 2nd guy on a championship team, and maybe Detroit falls into that 1st guy through the draft. I see a lot of Bradley Beal in him with regards to where the ceiling is.

I think I want to put money on the Pistons snapping the streak against the Celtics tomorrow. Just because it'd something I'd really love to see.

Is it bring your child to work day? That is the only way I see that happening. 

Pretty sure even the Washington...Generals fancy they could beat the Pistons.

[Chris2K]

Nothing, even the Pistons beating the Celtics, is out of the realms of possibility when Andre Drummond has a 24 points/25 rebounds/3 steals/2 blocks game in 2023.

I mean, we absolutely cannot dismiss how easily Boston folds under pressure.

So, so close.

That's what I'm saying! Celtics love to leave things up to chance. They got wrecked in that first half. 

[Chris2K]

I was really pulling for the Pistons because it's evident they're not giving up, and also because the Celtics announce team were insufferable. Also I would quite like the Wolves to have the best record in the NBA.

Taking them to OT was proof they're more than good enough not to have this insanely bad record.

[Pooker]

OG Anunoby and Precious Achiuwa have been traded to the Knicks. RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley and draft considerations going to the Raptors.

[gunnar hendershow]

That does not feel like a good trade for the Knicks.
