NBA 2023-24

[InThe313]

The NBA is back today.  Our first game starts today in (double-checks to be sure) Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.  Let’s fun and post your news and observations here throughout the season.  And just to be clear…

BE RESPECTFUL!  NOBODY LIKES AN ASSHOLE!

Have fun this year, gentlemen.

Even for somebody who plays in Wisconsin, that’s a lot of cheddar.  According to Adrian Wojnarowski, Bucks power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo agreed on a three-year, $186 million contract extension.

Could this season be more anticipated?  It is Opening Night and what better way to begin the season with a banner ceremony.  Here is your schedule for this exciting season.

Los Angeles Lakers at Denver Nuggets tonight at 7:30 p.m.
Phoenix Suns at Golden State Warriors tonight at 10 p.m.

The moment we have all waited for is here.  We are on Wemby time as Victor Wembanyama makes his NBA debut as the Spurs take on Luka Dončić, Kyrie Irving and the Mavericks.  Updates to come.

The Mavericks beat the Spurs, 126-119.

Forget the NFL trade deadline!  According to Adrian Wojnarowski, the 76ers agreed to deal 10-time All-Star shooting guard James Harden to the Clippers.

What a game tonight from LeBron! Year 21, puts on a defensive masterclass and 35 points against the hated Clippers! I am so happy tonight!

Pray for a full and quick recovery.  According to Adrian Wojnarowski, 76ers shooting guard Kelly Oubre Jr. is in stable condition and expected to miss significant time after being struck by a vehicle in Philadelphia.

Anybody up for a rousing game of “Who Will Get the Longest Suspension”?  There was a brawl in the Timberwolves vs. Warriors game as the Warriors’ Draymond Green put the Timberwolves’ Rudy Gobert in a headlock and the Warriors’ Klay Thomason’s jersey was torn when a melee broke out with multiple ejections.  Updates to come.

The Timberwolves beat the Warriors, 104-101.

Draymond being Draymond lol.

Like father, like son!  Bronny James channeled his dad, Lakers small forward LeBron James, on a massive chase-down swat in his USC debut less than five months after suffering cardiac arrest.

[InThe313]

Is this the NBA or WWE?  The Warriors’ Draymond Green unleashed a spinning backhand to the Suns’ Jusuf Nurkić‘s face for Green’s third ejection of the season.  The Suns beat the Warriors, 119-116.

[InThe313]

Lord only knows when he’ll back.  According to Adrian Wojnarowski, the NBA is suspending Warriors power forward Draymond Green indefinitely after Tuesday’s ejection.

Opa!  Giannis Antetokounmpo set a Bucks franchise record scoring the most points in the NBA this season by dropping 64 in a 140-126 win against the Pacers.  He then sprinted down the tunnel, fuming after it appeared the Pacers took his record-breaking ball to their locker room.

[InThe313]

Please, make this nightmare stop!  The Pistons dropped their 27th straight game to set the NBA record for the longest losing streak in a single season by losing to the Nets, 118-112.

[InThe313]

I hate that nobody is going to look at the last two games and see how close they really were, but are going to see the dubious history.  The Pistons couldn’t finish the job and their losing streak extended to 28 with a 128-122 overtime loss to the Celtics, tying the longest skid in NBA/NFL/NHL/MLB history.
