The NBA 2023-2024 thread - and Guns and Rose

I just can't deal with traveling out after those parades.  It's insane. 

[pg1067]

The best part about the Celtics winning this is seeing Lakers fans lose their minds now they are behind again in the total championships count. 

As a southern California, I couldn't agree more!

Pics from my son from the parade..

Derek White




Jaylen Brown



Tatum and the Trophy!

[King Postwhore]

Hell yeah!

[pg1067]

Nice!

[King Postwhore]

I didn't know this. Very cool.

That's awesome. I like Kornet. He was obviously still hurt for Tillman to get minutes over him. A healthy Kornet in the finals would've helped mitigate Porzingas' absence.

My kid and I nicknamed Tillman "Beef."  Make it happen, east coast folks!

P.S.  That photo has to be from the 1989-90 season.  Tito didn't play in the NBA in 1990-91 or 1991-92.

[King Postwhore]

Tito played on the Bucks for 2 seasons. From 1988 to 1990.

[T-ski]

Tito Horford was........not good.

[TAC]

Tito Horford was........not good.

My guess is Frank Kornet wasn't either?

Tito Horford:  63 games over 2 NBA seasons (1988-89, 1989-90, plus 3 games with the Bullets in 93-94):  6 minutes per game, 91 career points on .300 FG%.

Frank Kornet:  89 games over 2 NBA seasons (1989-90, 1990-91):  6.7 minutes per game, 171 points on .369 FG%.

@Samsara ..thoughts on the Wolves moves in last night's NBA draft?

Trading their 2031 pick and a 2030 swap with San Antonio for at least what the Scouting reports give, the best scorer in the draft in Rob Dillingham. He is only 6'1, but Conley can mentor him.

Terrence Shannon Jr - also a Scoring guard.

It is official. History has been made. The first ever father-son duo in the NBA.

[pg1067]

The Lakers have become a complete joke franchise.

I was (not realistically) hoping that the Celtics would draft Leboner, Jr. just to troll him and the Lakers.

I read today that this would be the 4th time actually

You mean playing together as teammates on the same team? Name them.

Yea, I mean it will be cool to see a father and son play together but the Lakers should not have entertained it. Bronny is just not an NBA player. Then again, this is the franchise whose owner makes decisions based on her happy hour buddies, so... Kind of on brand lol.

[pg1067]

I read today that this would be the 4th time actually

Fourth time in U.S. major sports history:

- Gordie Howe with sons Mark and Marty (NHL - Gordie/Mark played 74 games together, and all three played 6 games together for the 1979-80 Hartford Whalers)

- Tim Raines with Tim Jr. (MLB - October 4, 2001 for the Baltimore Orioles)

- Ken Griffey with Ken Jr. (MLB - 1990 and 1991 with the Seattle Mariners)

- Leboner and Leboner Jr. are the first father/son duo on the same team in the NBA.

Thanks for the clarification pg

RIP Splash Brothers 

Seems like the Dubs dynasty is coming to an end.

[King Postwhore]

Wyc Grousbeck is selling the Celtics. Quite surprised.

[Azyiu]

By this point, I think it is safe to say we struck out again in free agency, and it has become a pattern that I don't like at all. It feels like Pelinka had a grand Plan A each year, but he had NO contingency plan if Plan A doesn't work. Enough is enough, he needs to be fired.

Oh, do you guys want to pull our money together and make a lowball offer for the Celtics?

I remember when the Warriors took off in 2014-15. They started thrashing everyone, and Klay would have these insane games where he single-handedly destroyed teams with his explosive shooting. And now their "Big Three" is officially kaput. It's only a matter of time before those guys retire for good.

If he wasn't fired after the Westbrook trade, I don't know if he'll ever be fired.

Reports are saying Kawhi had just withdrawn from Team USA. After losing PG for nothing and without their first-round pick until 2030, something tells me Clippers fans are in panic mode now.

Wow, I did not know that.

I feel like if Kawhi wanted to play, he'd play though. The players have all the power, I thought.

The Clippers gave up Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Danilo Gallinari, 2022 first-round pick, 2024 first-round pick, 2026 first-round pick, first-round picks via Miami in 2021 and 2023 and the rights to swap picks with the Clippers in 2023 and 2025, to Oklahoma City for Paul George in 2019.

[TAC]

That doesn't even make sense.

Even Labron runs the Lakers better.

My son sent me this..
