2021-22 NBA "REGULAR" SEASON THREAD

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.

have a bunch of questions about the double dribbling rules in wheelchair basketball

Omg curry is unreal dubs were dead this game and curry just went and stole the game. They were down 14 and now up 13

Garland is really good

20 p 4th for curry.

jokic has 27-6-5 at the half

and nuggets bench 1/11 for 3 pts at the half

Jeff green 0-1-0-0-0-0 in 16 minutes

Couple mvps being mvps

every Nugget starter is in the plus but they're down 8 lol

i thought the heat screwed up by going for PJ tucker over jeff green but it looks like probably not…

The record for most 3s made in a season is 402, (Curry 2015-16)

Curry is currently on pace for 464pic.twitter.com/NDBEBEav6u

i love him so much

turning this damn game off

Is it too soon to be a little excited about Tyrese Maxey? He's now shooting 43% from 3P on 3.3 attempts per game (.523/.434/.841).

he's stepped up, its a good thing, feel good

Yeah. His development plus what the Bulls and Wizards did in the offseason are making me think that Morey should just trade Simmons for some really good depth wings who could start and/or come off the bench and see where that gets you (not a title, probably, but depth is good).

do not think maxey will continue to shoot like this, saw he was like 60% on floaters which makes up a significant part of his game, but even if he comes back to earth he def looks like a keeper

You would have to expect some regression, on the other hand, this is what Philly is feeling right now:

Tyrese Maxey this season:

18.4 PPG
4.4 APG
52.3 FG%
43.4 3P%
84.1 FT%
18.4 PER*

*For comparison, Ben Simmons’ PER was 18.3 last season. pic.twitter.com/PzP047ikTf

hey ILH...experiencing some hard times right now. i'm sad to tell you that the older brother of a guy i worked with two jobs ago who is a medical researcher or something in phoenix...has cancelled dish network, thereby depriving me of being able to log in to espn and tnt with his info on my roku :(

i knew this would come someday, but you're never really ready

pour one out

let me know if you want to jump on my league pass. you only get to watch hawks games tho

so somebody in one of my slacks who lives in portland just bought this set of furniture a few weeks ago for $500:

love it lol

i can see it being tough to measure your space to see if the giant catchers mitt will fit

he needs to get a yellow throw to go with the red one for that hot dog couch, maybe with some round green throw pillows

I really like Scotty Pippen it sucks to see him going out like this weird troll now

Lakers just seem old every night

they went to the old beach

lmao

lol bron calling for a clear out on romeo then getting stripped

he looks slow out there man

bron calling for the trainer after looking down at his hand and it is bones

I don’t think they’ll miss the playoffs but it’s conceivable now

yelling to the trainer ive got bones its bones now

bron out 2-4 weeks w/ bones

coach at the podium "bron's a tough son of a gun, i think we all know that, but we're gonna take this along slowly because that's all you can do when a guy's hand is bones. old beach doesn't care how tough you are, your history. when it comes down to it his hand is bones and it is what it is."

maybe we shouldnt have gone to old beach and maybe we should have left when avery bradly (rip, old age) said theres something wrong with this beach, but hindsight is 20/20 all we can do is start trying to be better now, get back to playing laker basketball, not having bones for hands, things of that nature

lmao

it's a rare occasion when i can say the celtics were by far the more physical team

lmao back2back kanter/dwight 3s
