They also don’t know how to workout right

Crossfit of NBA players.

Uhh… Jokic had 39/11/9 on 59% from the field in a win. Pretty sure no Nuggets/Jokic fan had a sad night.

Grant 7/18, Sharpe 7/19, Brogdon 7/22. Apparently once a guy hits 7 shots for Portland they should head to the bench.

Some further research:

Brogdon was 0/7 after hitting his 7th shot. Sharpe was 0/3 after hitting his 7th shot. Grant being the veteran he is didn’t take another shot after hitting his 7th.

LeMarcus Aldridge is one.

LMA had way more All-Star and All-NBA appearances, but a lot of that was because he had real teammates.

They played 1083 and 1076 games.

They scored 20,042 points and 20,558 points.

They had 8,157 and 8,736 rebounds.

They were both volume scorers who were both below league average in TS%.

Aldridge was a better defender, but these two are a good example of similar guys being put into different situations. LMA played with Roy, Lillard, and Leonard. Jamison played with a dude who wanted to shoot his teammates.

Those extra possessions were huge too. 17-11 advantage on the offensive glass in a 3 point game.

That and 94% vs 64% from the line were the game winners for Charlotte.

In the time it took you to type this out you could have found all the answers.

As for if people care. They do more than normal regular season games. Maybe not by much, but it’s something new.

Green could go full Chris Brown and Warriors fans would still defend him.

It’s still early so we will see, but the 10-11 Southwest division was disgusting.

61, 57, 46, 46, and 43 win teams. The 43 win Rockets didn’t make the playoffs because the West was absurd, but the 57 win Mavericks won it all.

Different than the NBA, but shortening my bowling approach improved my game immensely.

Used to have a routine of “Put ball/arms in right position, focus on mark, double check feet are in right spot, remember to take a slow first step, then go.”

Now I just walk up there, assume I’m going to have the muscle memory stuff down, look at my mark, and go. Having my best average so far this year in over 30 years of bowling. Might be a fluke? Or maybe I’ve been getting in my own head for decades.

2011- Boston loses to Mavs

2012- Boston loses to OKC

2017- Boston loses to Durant led Warriors

2018- Read above

2020- Lakers don’t make finals without Lebron. Whoever does beats Boston.

2022- I can give Boston this one.

2023- Anyone thinking Boston beats the Nuggets should ban themselves from any NBA discussion for all time.

Boston might have 1 more title if you take these 3 players out of the mix.

The 2 NFL teams that went 0-16 in the regular season both went 4-0 in the preseason.

The NBA preseason doesn’t seem to be quite as extreme, but it also doesn’t mean shit.

Just take drugs they don’t test for.

Only one sent the other to the hospital.

A lot of kids on this Subreddit. I know I thought some cringey shit was funny when I was a kid.

Or teams change year over year.

Only 3/7 guys on the team who played 1500+ minutes in 2000 also did so in 2001.

Green and Rice were gone. Harper and Fisher missed a combined 100 games. Guys like Rider, Fox, and the corpse of Horace Grant replaced a lot of those minutes and none of those guys were good defenders at that point in their careers.
