NBA 2022-23 Season Thread - Wembanyama Tank-A-Thon Is On!

Been a rough year for accomplished coaches on good teams. They may not all have been top-tier but the leash is pretty short nowadays. Don't think you'll ever see a Jerry Sloan like career again.

So who do you want to win the draft lottery tonight other then your current team?

I'd kind of like Portland to since Dame has been so good to them, he deserves a chip.

I don't really care who gets #1. I just want to see the Mavs fall out of the top 10, so that they have to give up the pick to NY. That will complete this unmitigated disaster of a year and guarantee Luka's exit in 2026.

Spurs getting Wemby. So good.

Spoelstra might. If he doesn't get there I'm not sure anyone else will. Sloan coached 30 years. Spoelstra is 52 and is halfway there at 15 years as a head coach, with stable ownership and a competent front office.

Yeah but Spoelstra won titles. My point was that Sloan was able to have that long career with one team despite not winning a championship. Even two or three years removed from a title wasn't enough to keep some of the fired guys around. Shit, three of the last four championship coaches have already been fired. That just seems wild to me.

But just in general terms of a coach having a long career I think Spoelstra has a pretty good shot, especially as long as Pat Riley is there. Kerr too.

All you need to know about this game: Grant Williams trash talked Jimmy Butler. Miami goes on an 18-4 run to close out the game as Jimmy makes Williams look stupid for the rest of the game.

I bet Philly really wishes they'd kept Butler.

I legitimately feel bad for Boston fans, which is a weird thing to say as a Heat fan. I can't even gloat or trash talk; this team is just flat out giving up after having one of the best regular season records, and was picked as a favorite to make it to the Finals.

It's 93-63 after 3. I know they'll be down 3-0 and the series isn't technically over yet, but they just look like they're done with all of it.

I really love the idea of a Heat Nuggets final. I'd be happy with whoever wins though I guess I'd be pulling for the Heat.

Lakers and Celtics both possibly being swept is pretty great stuff from where this Sixer fan is sitting.

kyrie is poison though...

as for the Celtics...what a fucking choke job so far. and i am a boston fan.
they have just SUCKED all playoffs(winning despite themselves).
