2021-22 NBA "REGULAR" SEASON THREAD

um he helped them get evan mobley i fail to see the problem

like him sucking forced them to lose games to get the #3 pick and influenced them to go get jarrett allen, he rescued the franchise imo

*Checks score of Cavs-Heat game*

i just think if you're gonna do what he did last year you gotta stand on those principles. how do you bandwagon a team when you're actually on the roster

remember, his sucking also led to his replacement on the US Olympic team which, playing without him, won gold last summer. so we have much to thankful for as a result of love's sucking

Kevin Love is just kind of a weird guy

hah was going to post exactly that

remember when kevin love like broke his hand doing knuckle pushups or something

just confirming i did not hallucinate this

more like histrionic and knuckles

its crazy he hasnt played for the knicks yet

i always figured the sick outlet passes were a product of the knuckle pushups

That’s 11 covers in a row for the Cavs.

more like the Covs

that hyperextension on Middleton looks scary, hope that's all it is :/

didnt look too bad in my professional opinion

Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer says the team will know more tomorrow, but that initially there are positive indications about the hyperextended left knee suffered by Khris Middleton tonight will not wind up being too serious. He will go home with the Bucks to Milwaukee tonight.

some weird results tonight. celtics crush the bucks, rockets beat the hawks on the road, luka-less mavs destroying the hornets

jokic is on a little heater. 26-18-9-2-1 in 27 minutes tonight so far

Jokic the mvp right now imo, with curry’s lil mini slump n all. Kd n Giannis right there too

some weird results tonight. celtics crush the bucks, rockets beat the hawks on the road, luka-less mavs destroying the hornets

Guys like Garrison Mathews ballin out

despite themselves the rockets have found a bunch of good players for cheap

the ghost of morey lingers

garrison matthews was pretty good for the wizards whenever i saw him. was surprised he could only get a 2 way from the worst team in the league

prob not a coincidence that it all has happened with jalen green hurt

i feel like if you pick MVP not as best player but as "Which team would be least competitive without this player," Denver has kind of proven that Jokic should win again.

The Hawks are choking games in the 4th q just like they did around this time last year which led to Pierce being fired. It’s pretty much all injury related though. They owned the rockets the entire game until 5 minutes left. Having bogdanovic and Hunter out there rather than Cabarrot and Lou would go a long way. Player I’m most excited for though is Okongwu. Might be back in the next couple weeks

oops lol

Rival GM on Cavs: ‘They could trade their entire team for Ben Simmons, be better than they were last season’ https://t.co/ZOkgblEw49

the cavs thing does make me feel like a lot of GMing success might just be completely random…

Careful, thoughts like that lead to the Process.

theres obvs a lot of randomness but also obvs not totally random

I think every gm recognizes that their jobs have a huge component of pure gambling, but their job has always been to find every conceivable method to impose predictability on the outcomes of their multi-million dollar bets. but gamblers have a saying, 'it's better to be lucky than to be good.'

I mean, look at fucking Elon

did i ever tell yall about the time i got shot in the face with a tshirt canon at a hawks game?

haha no!

it's not much of a story, i was upper deck, saw it coming, put my hands up and bam, got me right in my face. felt like getting punched by an adult. stay alert at you next game. i did get the shirt though

lol

this didnt take long

“The trio of LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook simply hasn’t blended as well as Lakers figures hoped, and Los Angeles has held internal discussions on trade scenarios for Russell Westbrook” 😳

lol. for who

Schroeder

wall

not sure how anyone couldve foreseen westbrook not working out for the lakers

Simmons, lol

if i was the lakers i’d do that in a millisecond but can’t see morey doing another round with westbrook

How about Westbrook for Kevin Love? Sort of makes sense for both teams but I'm not sure if Cleveland would bother

hard to see too many deals for westbrooks $47m a year contract for one more year after this that would make the lakers better, guess they have 2026 and 28 1st available to trade too lol idk they might be stuck

they are stuck
