Random NBA Observations 2022 - 2023

Most singers, producers, rappers, artists, etc. are into it, vocal about it and many people think those the coolest cats on the planet.

Don't know why anybody wants to front but they'll go out there and wear dresses for fashion week to "fit in" and clout chase.

It's only preseason but I think last year was the beginning of the end of the Bucks with this current core

Middleton will have to step up huge and be far more consistent for this team but right now I just see a lot more consistent top talent with other East teams than the Bucks...they really can only count on Giannis for knowing what you'll get night in and night out.

I feel the same way, the East is so much better, they'll have their hands full with Philly, BK, and Boston.

Their defense was trash last year and they didn't really do anything this offseason to fix it. That team is definitely going to look different come next season as Middleton, Holiday and Lopez are all due extension during the next couple of years.

The one thing they have working in their favor is that Philly is still Philly when it matters most and those other teams in the East have issues to contend with themselves.

I think Milwaukee still has as good of a shot as anyone to win the title this year

Their concern going forward though should be that Jrue, Middleton & Lopez are all 30+ now. It’s gonna be interesting to see if/how they transition to a younger core. Brogdon & DiVincenzo are really the only draft picks they hit on post-Giannis and both didn’t get a 2nd contract

The Bucks get the respect they do because of Giannis solely. You literally hear analysts say this straight up (not realizing the C’s sent that nikka home twice and would have three times if Kyrie wasn’t throwing the series). The supporting cast is old and declining. Brook is injury prone, old and slow. Middleton is coming off injuries. They got old ass Wes Matthews and George Hill back in the rotation and just signed Ingles coming off an ACL tear. I would not be surprised to see them take a step back this year.

First time they were a .500 team and an 8 seed,2nd time they didnt have there 2nd best player....thats why nobody mentions it...

And the first time the Celtics were missing their two best players and were led by 19-20 year olds. Still sent that nikka home.

The second time the C's were missing their rim protector for half the series (and he was playing hobbled in the half he did play) and their DPOY for one game.

Nobody mentions either of those things. Because when you win, you don't gotta cop pleas

Watching this makes me appreciate MJ and Kobe with how fluid they were on their turnaround fades. Kawhi obviously has it down but he just can’t slink into that shyt like they could...Kawhi be looking all robotic with it. MJ was like a ballet dancer with that shyt...and somehow Kobe how managed to perfect it too...even tho the shyt didn’t come as natural to him.

Considering how Kawhi came into the league being so limited as an offensive player who can create, it’s still stunning to me that he’s mastered the move as well as he has.

Yup. Altho winning the title was incontestably the best thing for Giannis, i was on the fence as to whether it gave false validation to Middleton as an ideal #2 and to the Bucks sustainability... basically i wasn't sure if Giannis could win another title with this team anytime soon.
