2021-22 NBA "REGULAR" SEASON THREAD

silas jr had some of the worst coach body language i've ever seen the other day vs the knicks and they were winning that game well into the fourth quarter

hollinger has been saying that perception around silas is much worse than people might realize for a while now. there's probably no reason to move on this year but doubt he gets another year after this.

The rockets season is going perfectly.

it's always kind of funny-sad with the last players left behind on a tanking team. I remember the Free Thad Young campaign at the beginning of the process...

whats funny/sad is that thad is now the lone thirtysomething on the spurs first honest rebuilding effort since the 80s (going p good, losing a bunch of games)

Wow at the clippers mavs end of regulation. Clips come back from 10 down with a couple min left pg ties it on a crazy 3 that left his hand at the last possible millisecond.

Then zinger took over in ot. 30 points and he’s looking good of late.

fun game. the zinger put back dunk in the 4th q had me concerned for a moment the way he landed. but he has looked very decent

the lack of size/athleticism from cade cunningham still has me reeling, like… what happened there? i still don’t understand. i thought he was supposed to be a small forward. was i gaslighted? did i gaslight myself? he’s still filling up the box score regardless so i think he’s gonna be a really good player, prob will make several all star teams, but it feels way more lonzo ball-ish at the moment than i was led to believe… i feel like the comp for him coming out was khris middleton? i’m confounded. i think if you spin his ceiling as like jason kidd but with a real jump shot that’s a pretty tight player. but it really feels like they should’ve taken evan mobley.

i feel 100% gaslighted, usually mainstream draft coverage is at least adept at describing the physical profile of a player

I never understood the Cade thing and I think people got intoxicated by how good Doncic is with B+ athleticism

The draft nerds loved Cade because they watched film and he didn’t really have flaws and has such a good understanding of the game, and what the hell do I know maybe that’s the right call for Detroit

i do think there’s something to be said for safety. my thing is more that i can’t remember a high level player where i thought he was going to look/play like one thing and it ended up being something totally different

anyway speaking of no 1 picks, chet holmgren looking like evan mobley 2

cade is already a good playmaker the fake size news is def weird but he can still be really good hell just have to do it with skillz which it seems like he has idk

chet “mobley with a jump shot” holmgren

lmao

He makes Huerter look tan

poeltl is german for "pale af"

ANTHONY EDWARDS OMG! 🤯

The dunk was waved off for a charge call. 🤐

that dunk looked like a fucking video game

in slo-mo that doesn't look like an offensive foul to me, but those kinds of calls are extremely hard to get right on the floor, without slo-mo

the Lad out there doing Lad things

5 in a row for the Wolves

Hawks on a roll thanks to a lighter schedule and Capela getting back into form

the ref who called a charge on that edwards dunk should be executed

he should at least be forced to write a short form essay on what it means to be and feel alive

I can't stop watching that dunk.

lol Jimmy never stop being a weirdo

Another dubs down by 20 to winning by 20 game

Fire that ref for sure f that we were robbed of an all time great dunk

crunch time blazers lately reminding me of brooks-era thunder

him dragging the ref with one hand and pointing out the bullies with the other hand is killing me

what in the hell

Curious wtf those fans were saying

Well it's not Utah so I guess it's not 100% something racial but that's where I would put my money

they seemed distinctly non-antagonistic but sure, who knows

there was apparently a warning issued to them earlier in the game is what i heard

They could afford courtside seats, so its a cinch they're two rich assholes who were being assholish to the maximum of their abilities.

im in favor of giving lebron veto power to remove courtside fans at his whim tbh, i trust his word over theirs

like what good is winning 4 mvps and 4 rings if u cant tell some mayo malefactors to hit the bricks every once in a while

fuck that soft shit

i think there should be a ceremony in every game where one player from the opposing team gets to eject two fans sitting courtside

Jack Nicholson would not approve.

lekaren james

girl making the frowny face was pretty funny

the pistons are just a miserable franchise

its true

lol

Portland's Robert Covington has been fined $15,000 by the league for "throwing his facemask at a game official."

James was also warned by the NBA for using profane language during media availability in response to his one-game suspension. https://t.co/Iwhj8dQCnj
