2021-22 NBA "REGULAR" SEASON THREAD

has kyrie been getting paid?

jeez that’s really bad news for the lakers

altho they do have deandre jordan so they prob won’t feel the loss very much at all

It’s just so hard for the Lakers to win without AD or Lebron. I will say that Lebron has looked like he got that kobe lately

no offense to our celtics fans but the knicks being decimated by covid forcing them to play kemba for the first time in weeks in boston of all places and him responding by putting up 24 midway thru the third is pretty funny. mostly because it makes the knicks look stupid

That’s the kind of competitor kemba is tho

totally benching kemba was weird, having a press conference about it, like kemba isnt good enough to play 15mins a night for the knicks cmon, hes shooting 40% from 3

josh richardson coming out of the woodwork to drop 27 on the knicks and win the game also counts as a very funny outcome

Bucks starting lineup today was:

Javonte Smart
George Hill
Jordan Nwora
Sandro Mamukelashvili
DeMarcus Cousins

Kinda feel bad for anyone who paid to see that

season is getting pretty farcical

yeah some pretty rough squads getting run out there

let's call the whole thing off (until january) sounding like a more reasonable answer and would almost certainly be happening if not for that xmas xontract

The NBA just officially postponed five games including three tonight: pic.twitter.com/CM9VVfblPe

damn

Comic sans like his boy Gilbert

gotta rename it cleveland sans now

the fave by a noted weird twitter personality is a nice touch

I’m sorry but it’s lame that the nuggs/nets got postponed because the nets all got covid. either postpone the whole season or make the nets call up some g leaguers imo

Agreed, like half the league is playing fucked up lineups right now

The nets thing was pretty sus because it seemed like they listed some players as injured to get out of playing the game. When the Nuggets had 7 players a couple years ago (pre-covid!) they just played the fucking game

seems pretty clear to me that playing sports right now is dumb as hell

Would just like to note that the Lakers gave exactly 5 minutes tonight to a player under the age of 32 (Chaundee Brown Jr, age 23, who prior to making a basket in tonight’s loss to the Knicks was 0-6 in his NBA career)

also Clay otm

Very weird time in sports right now

difficult to care about games right now which makes for a strange december

i recommend Gaming

I did get a ps5 so

breaking via Woj:
forks' PS5 has been placed in Sony health and safety protocols

quoth the ps5: I'm me, I do me and I chill

"Javonte Smart
George Hill
Jordan Nwora
Sandro Mamukelashvili
DeMarcus Cousins"

You coulda thrown a Bobson Dugnutt in there and I prob wouldn't have noticed.

bobson dugnutt is also out

Steven Adams has 12 rebounds in 8 minutes

on pace for 72 rebounds for the game, he should go for it

something weird about this Lakers/Suns game. in like 99% of parallel universes Chris Paul is playing 24 minutes a night for this Laker team. somehow we're in the one where he's dominating on the Phoenix Suns?

the parallel universe of david stern never vetoing the NO trade?

also the many universes where he leaves phoenix to play with lebron last summer

not a particularly good :30 of game time for the Lake show

god damn Isaiah Thomas is getting abused on defense like shouldn't you be at Santa's workshop right now

this lakers team is hilarious

Free agent guard Joe Johnson is signing a 10-day deal with the Boston Celtics, sources tell ESPN. Johnson is returning to the franchise that drafted him 20 years ago and is expected to play tonight vs. Cleveland.

we're getting dangerously close to some of the coaches suiting up

This like when ppl at work take that early buyout and you see them like 4 years later in some weird contracting position, looking very chill getting some extra cash
