2021-22 NBA "REGULAR" SEASON THREAD

dan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh hey what's up!

atlanta has gunna performing at halftime and young thug just came out, this is much better than what most teams do

no disrespect to red panda

the lakers are down 22 at the half despite rondo and russ combining 4/5 from 3

and by 22 I mean 11

weird when a team of 35 year olds doesnt have a lot of hustle

Wow, Lakers. pic.twitter.com/nmWTGmDStQ

Lookin like the Washington Generals out there

stephen a. now absolutely hammering anthony davis. what a week for him!

love to see him thriving

Budenholzer needs to wear a suit.

Giannis 18-22 :o

pacers are down bad, not sure what they should even do

carlisle will prob have them playing ok before too long but also maybe they could trade for ben simmons

Pacers haven’t been healthy yet at all. That lakers clip is too good

Dayo!

simmons trade for a star is prob not going to materialize so its likely down to team who can offer two good guys pacers hawks kings hornets idk

hornets??

hayward oubre and pj washington for simmons and danny green

i think the pacers will play better, they also lost to the pistons tonight with brogdon, lavert, sabonis and turner in the line up

more generally they have a pretty extreme win now roster and the way the east is shaping up i don’t see any way they’re gonna win much of anything this year

hey dayo :)

feel like you really dont wanna be taking the ball out of lamelo's hands

sup dayo!

Javale McGee getting screwed on goaltending calls, a tradition unlike any other

That might have been a good goaltending call I got 3 hours sleep last night and just spent 2 hours fixing the hot tub

Lol Javale dominating

the revelation that you have a hot tub is what’s going to keep me from sleeping 3 hours tonight

porzingis is still so exploitable defensively

otoh jalen brunson prob one of the best second round picks in the league the last 4-5 years

espn is broadcasting the mavs-suns game again on friday. bizarre

nice win for blazers over the bulls tonight

What’s wrong with a hot tub, you’re a Miami guy

bulls are so fun to watch, looks to me like they might need a season or so to really gel but man watch out

ok. pic.twitter.com/m7RnhSVg78

hot tubs are tite, so much maintenance tho, a sauna on the other hand is just a hot room you can clean it like you would any room

haha they cant bring themselves to call it a union because they are management freaks

ESPN Sources with @RamonaShelburne: NBA general managers are working to finalize formation of a professional association that would collectively support executives with access to legal defense funds, lawyer referrals and PR professionals: https://t.co/yhaTzlo72G

Dozens of executives told ESPN that Portland's internal probe has stoked fears that organizations can make decisions to fire top basketball executives for any number of traditional reasons -- team performance, personality conflicts, differing philosophies -- and search simultaneously for ways to pursue "cause" violations in contracts.

With declining revenues and dwindling attendance across the league coming out of the pandemic, many top team basketball executives are fearful Portland is creating a blueprint for other ownership groups to invoke firing for cause and sidestep payment on contracts.

dark days man

Suggs starting to put it together. He’s just too active on defense and too good a passer to be a true bust imo

i do not think he will bust i think hell be good sucks he on the magic tho

I don’t like the magic organizationally but this roster is falling into place

yeah. anthony-suggs-wagner-isaac-carter w/ bamba somewhere in the mix is an interesting little start. i was actually surprised to look and see they've only won 3 games. they'll get another bite at a true star this year

hi all! i've been out of bball for a few years but gonna try to jump back in this season. a few notes from last night's game

-does kemba suck now? seems like they were playing burks ahead of him?
-how much is julius randle getting paid lmao
-wendell carter looks like the 🤓 emoji with his glasses
-mo bamba is a beast
-ob toppin is a good jumper and also a fun name to say
-franz wagner looked real good

that franz dunk was freaking massive, must have been quite the awkward moment in MSG

kemba is pretty cooked I think but can still show flashes

having watched kemba a bunch last season it tends to be pretty clear on a given night if he has it or not.

with kemba fournier and rose all being bad defenders theres only so many minutes you can play those guys too

kemba is cooked but with a different roster hed be getting more burn

I don’t like the magic organizationally but this roster is falling into place

feel like weve been saying this for years

roster does look dece tho lol

their front office is prob better now than it had been w/ the old bucks guys running it. they just came in starting from zero basically

By organization I just mean ownership.
