Random NBA Observations 2023 - 2024

[The G.O.D II]

Can we take a minute to hand Bones Hayland his L? Dude tried to backdoor Murray out the starting PG position while he was hurt. Got traded to the clippers and is now bushes status. Dude could have just accepted his role as a solid backup with consistent minutes, play on the top team, and have a ring already.

He went from a team that didn't have enough guard depth to one that now has too many. The poster child of sometimes you’re better off where you’re at for role players.

Remember when the Warriors really turned Andrew Wiggins game around?

I heard he went to a culture that actually cared about basketball and winning and that would make him play better?
I figured he'd take this chance as a first option on this team and run with it. Shame he's looking like the Canadian who played for the Wolves all those years. But don't worry, he's with the right team now

Looking for competition in the East when you’ve had one finals appearance in over a decade is the type of delusional shyt I be talking about

Why you talking like we ain't made some serious roster changes that have made us MUCH better?

nikka talking like this is still the old C's with Kelly Olynyk and Jared Sullinger out there

He probably won’t even get traded now since the clippers have no real assets to bundle him with

So for whoever ultimately advances to the next stages of the in season tournament, are those teams gonna be playing extra games than the teams who don't advance?

Typically, the NBA sends out a full 82-game schedule in mid-August. This year, though, the league only sent 80 games, with a gap in the schedule from Dec. 3-10. Each team's final two regular-season games will be determined by how the in-season tournament plays out.

The 22 teams that fail to qualify for the knockout rounds of the in-season tournament will have their final two games scheduled -- one at home and one on the road -- on Dec. 6 and 8 against other teams eliminated in the group stage.

The East teams that lose in the quarterfinals and the West teams that lose in the quarterfinals will play each other on Dec. 7. The teams that lose in the semifinals in Las Vegas will have played their full allotment of 82 games, while the teams that reach the championship game will actually wind up playing 83 games -- with the championship game not counting toward the regular-season standings.
