NBA Season 78 Observations: October 29, 2023

Posted on October 29, 2023October 30, 2023 By Sammy Younan No Comments on NBA Season 78 Observations: October 29, 2023

Houston Rockets signed Fred VanVleet in the off-season to Dumb Money: $130 million for three years.

It doesn’t matter how much Dumb Money you get; Winning is way more valuable. Always.

Rockets are oh and 3 now; that’s a terrible start…I thought they would be (a bit) better?

They’re in trouble. You can’t start slow in the West if you want to even get into the (stupid-dumb) Play-In Tournament. #BallorFall

Well this is an odd benefit: as I’m 100% out from the NBA’s In-Season tournament (such a trash idea) I’ve been watching more regular season games right now.

I recognize there will be a chunk of the season I’m going to miss. Wasn’t the whole point of the (trash) In-Season Tournament to spark interest in the regular season and provide excitement? It has…but not for the actual event.

I refuse to compromise and accept much less acknowledge the (trash) In-Season Tournament. But I am watching more games now, so that’s good right? That part worked, right? What doth it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? #BallorFall

Sammy Verdict: Still super early but the Warriors look much better than last year.
