2021-22 NBA "REGULAR" SEASON THREAD

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

First ex-NBA player ever to advance to the Finals of Dancing With The Stars: 10-year veteran and 2016 champion Iman Shumpert.

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

steph is amped for this game throwing himself around

honestly i just didn't think the warriors key guys had this much in the tank, let's hope it lasts all season

pretty funny when players convince their coaches to make terrible challenges

poole as a slasher is a really good player.

iggy!

Too bad Bembry never figured out how to shoot

yeah hes a good enough role player as is but he coulda been special

sounds like a homegame for the dubs

no one loves the nets the nets are unlovable

crowd cheering the road team at the barclays still makes me mad.

this guy must be mad a lot lol

haha

That happens when don't have fans, Steve.

— caramelo anthony (@starox) November 17, 2021

caramelo gets it

the off-brand hat guy

the orb guy

man whiteside is such a comically bad defensive player

crazy how every time Steph has a monster game Seth shoots really bad. something weird going on in that family

Spurs need to start winning these games

TNT really picked a bad game for national broadcast, eh? like how many times can you cut to Doc Rivers looking defeated

Spurs need to start winning these games

i disagree, they need to win exactly 26 games this year, no more no less

.@stephenasmith UNLOADS on the Nets after blowout loss to Warriors 😳
