2021-22 NBA "REGULAR" SEASON THREAD

true actually - only 1.6% of his shots are at the rim. yet he's taking 0.328 FTAs per FGA!

a not insignificant % of those FTA are in last 2 minute situations I'd guess

good nba double header tonight. lakers are must watch at this point.

lakers are mustn't watch, always

frankly there's too much scoring in these Celtics Cavs games

it just hit me that maybe we should have seen this resurgence of the warriors coming back when they re-signed iggy. it was an omen.

brutal lol

the Promise of Bol Bol

wtf the cavs arena is a Fieldhouse now too, what is going on in the midwest

Bol Bol will probably figure it all out but I guess it’s just not with the nuggets

isn’t the whole thing with bol bol that he isn’t a hard worker/has a bad attitude etc? doesn’t seem conducive to working your way off the end of an NBA bench to me

We’ve seen this story a million times. He gets on a bad team and puts up empty stats and gets paid.

Andray Blatche got paid. It’ll happen. Again, not with the Nuggets, which bothers me

I think his dating life will lead to financial considerations

been watching most of this knicks pacers 4th quarter and kemba and fournier havent seen the court despite starting, knicks have all last year guys on the floor theyre grit and grinding and the fans love it

I see jason kidd has taken a page from the scotty brooks book of coaching by wearing obnoxiously visible spectacles about his face

yeah took me a second to recognize him

some pretty dumb and dare I say LUCKY threes keeping dallas in this game

just tuned in to judge for myself

always interesting when a guy starts shit and his teammates just stand back and watch

nuggs are better with joker i think

to me bol’s ceiling is boban where some team finds a way to give him short stretches against match ups he can punish. but boban isn’t paid. i think it’s more likely bol is far too thin to ever hold up to real NBA mins and never has much of an imprint on the league

What would we do without shams?

apparently shump is like a dancing with the stars GOAT

mavs best win of the season tonight even with barton out

mavs have a 4 game road trip that consists of two straight games in phoenix and then two straight games vs the clippers. i hate it

lakers falling tf apart haha ad just tossed and theyre down by 20+

jordan are you a mavs fan now?

no. in fact they’re kind of miserable to watch right now? i just think they’re one of the more interesting teams in the league

yeah they are rough viewing. might be blaspheme but i dont really enjoy watching luka play. too much harden in his game for me to get fully on board with.

he isn’t in shape and has been playing kinda lazily from what i’ve seen

lonzo going off on the lakers lol

lonzo absolutely torching the lakers

haha YES

after 20 straight games at home (approximate) lakers are about to go on a 5 game east coast road trip sans lebron. interested to see how that plays out...

i turned it on right when this sequence happened and it pretty much perfectly summed up the russell westbrook in 2021 experience

i have no idea at all how the thunder have won 5 games. their coach must be good. aside from shai, dort and giddey i don't see anyone on their team who looks like a longterm starter, i think the rest of their draft from last year might just end up being a wash

the thunder rolling out a glorified summer league team every night while actively trying to lose and still having more wins than the pelicans, wolves, magic and pistons prob says something about the quality of those respective franchises

pelicans are just baffling but i guess we cant really judge them completely til we see zion with jonas? might be too late to even make a play in if they keep losing

no i think we can judge the pelicans now

yeah prob

i was going to say that their talent on most nights without zion is not bottom 5 in the league, but looking at it now…. it might actually be! what a messed up team

aside from shai, dort and giddey i don't see anyone on their team who looks like a longterm starter, i think the rest of their draft from last year might just end up being a wash

I’ve noticed a lot of “buy in” from the Thunder. Good vibes. I think Tre Mann will probably be pretty good but I’m sure there’s some anxiety about the PGs they passed on there.

the suns have won 9 straight

amazing 1st quarter there

BREAKING: Steph Curry is really really fucking good at basketball

that half really delivered

good stuff
