Random NBA Observations 2022 - 2023

what happened?

"As a team, we've got to mature. ... We've got to grow up -- if we want to win a championship. There's no young team that's ever won a championship, mentally or physically."

The Mavs' starting lineup featured four players who are 30 or older. The exception is 23-year-old superstar Luka Doncic. While Kidd did not specifically call out Doncic, he also emphasized that the Mavs were affected by disagreements with the officials.

Kidd on blowing huge lead: Mavs have to 'grow up'

Healthy Kawhi Clippers is the only entity that can stop the Phoenix Suns out West

Washed CP3 & Puzzy azz DeAndre Ayton will stop the Suns.I'm already peeping how the hands of fate will loop back around & fukk us once again.I'm cursed to be in tune with the heartbeat of this team.Bane of my existence

can’t remember the last time the nba had this many dope games over a 3 day span

Yep.Seems like we're entering a new era..Or the brand that they've been trying to promote over the last 6-7 yrs is starting to cook & become perfected.

From a scheme/talent perspective, that Russ/Clippers fit is a W. They haven't even built chemistry yet and they going toe-to-toe with the best teams already while not even at full strength. They were in good position to win both of these games.

Health-wise, I'm not too concerned for them in this day and age because of the two key words: load management.

All they have to do is be good enough to get into the play-offs no matter the seed because honestly they can beat any team in a series.

The Lakers mid-key got a squad though.

That's fair too, but I just feel like george and kawhi have played so few games together over the past two seasons they kinda needed to see if they could still hang with these top teams. Obviously, wins would have been better, but getting blown out would have been devastating.

Ya but usually when Kawhi plays this many minutes and puts up these number his team blows out the opposition. He can’t be happy
