2021-22 NBA "REGULAR" SEASON THREAD

the zion thing is pretty disappointing, i def thought he would work harder to keep himself in shape. that being said, his injuries have been far from catastrophic and there’s still a world where he gets healthy, gets in shape and is a dominant player

my concern with zion is less his injuries and more that he doesn’t seem to have any defensive role in the NBA

He’s got a low motor which is bad

i stand by my post of April the 7th

I mildly questioned Zion's 'motor' back during the Final Four and y'all laughed at me like I was crazy.

why is everyone so hurt over their opinions

ILH replicates the playground. Those butt wounds are very old.

why is everyone so hurt over their opinions

sounds like something you should speak about with a therapist

Haha

leading up to the draft I kept saying that Zion had dumps like a trunk trunk trunk thighs like what what what but ilh didn't want to hear it

lonzo becoming this good at shooting is crazy. he's basically an elite 3 and D player at this point who is also an elite passer

i always believed in lonzo

81 point first half for the cavs on the kings lol

Don’t make me c/p the fgti post

i never believed in lonzo but kudos to him i tip my cap

i was a ball brothers skeptic in both cases, p cool to see the two balls grow together like this

the thing about lonzo was some people at the time (not on ilh per se but out in the world) were claiming he was like a generational point guard and was headed for superstardom.

that was silly he still has no off the bounce game but hes def turned himself into a legit player

he was a better scorer in college

nikola vucevic looks absolutely awful. like routinely missing free throws, bunny hooks and wide open jumpers off the side of the rim

that's weird. i haven't heard any injury rumors for him but there must be something going on.

he did have covid but from what i understand hasn’t looked right all year. shot 3-15 tonight and was a -29

weird seems like it should be a good situation for him

I was always a lonzo believer

also the matt and jordan grudge is one of my favorite things about ILH, we all love you both

It’s my least favorite thing

mb we could have a moratorium on axe grinding over old bad basketball opinions idk even tho sometimes its funny

yeah i think i have said this before but as much as i enjoy the chat here, if i remember what any of you think about anything for more than like a couple days it is purely by chance

It’s my least favorite thing

i haven’t posted once about the nuggets not being contenders this year. i’m holding up my end of the bargain!

Good win by the Sixers - they played good D but it might have also just been an off night for GS.

Really strong defense by thybylle but dubs missed a ton of open ones. But this showed a bit of their weakness.Curry needs to break this record and move on.

_It’s my least favorite thing_


except you constantly revive old arguments all the time lol. much like grayson allen (who i haven’t posted about all year until today bcuz ppl already said they were tired of the argument) i’m not buying it

seems like he’s in his head a bit yeah xp

Things got heated in Australia's NBL after this dunk on Matthew Dellavedova 😳

it’s eerily reminiscent of lebron james ending the life of jason terry

australian basketball announcers sound really funny, as do australian ppl loudly arguing with each other. just a clip filled with joy

oi blimey mate

whats the history here. did matt give jordan bad intel about bill simmons moving to boston

yep that’s exactly what happened.

in other news, cavs continue kicking ass and taking names.

interrupted by only a De’Aaron jumper. a timeout, and an OB, here is quite-possibly the biggest beatdown sequence of the NBA season by the Cavs.

Halftime:

Cleveland 81
Sacramento 52

holy hell that was a rush. https://t.co/vxLURcRCLk pic.twitter.com/OjXX1tfk8T

lol kings just getting blocked every time

Love to see a twin towers experiment actually work. Bless the cavs

yeah pretty cool

damn here i was opening the thread expecting to see celebration over delly getting dunked to hell and i've got ILH g leaguers coming for me dredging up my personal life damn i thought we were all friends

lets all be cool, jordans right this board is for celebrating the many losses of matthew dellavedova

feel like the major question in the east now is whether the cavs can stay in the top 6 and push one of chicago, miami, atlanta, philly, atlanta into the play in. i still feel like the chances are better than not that they're the ones who slip down but i wouldn't bet against them at this point, the mobley/allen combo is really working for them beyond anyone's wildest dreams. i guess so much of it will come down to health

kevin love's celebrations in that clip are really funny given his antics last season. he's suddenly enjoying playing in cleveland!

lol weird

i can see the cavs being an nba hipster fave underdog team by allstar break
