2021-22 NBA "REGULAR" SEASON THREAD

That is blowing my mind.

crazy they didn’t overturn that shot clock violation the replay clearly showed it hitting the rim imo

did the grizz already use their challenge? I'd like to see a better close-up shot, replay wasn't totally definitive

I think it was reviewed automatically. Grizz got the W in the end so it worked out

the super slow motion replay clearly showed the spin on the ball changing imo

its such a bad shot that it deserved to be a missed call imo, spirit of the rule if not the letter

Slo mo is really the perfect nickname for him. Takes him 7 seconds to just set up for the shot.

Why doesn’t JJJ get rebounds?

ok ILH crew, I'm trying to get tickets for Milwaukee vs. GSW on 1/13. is it best to pull the trigger right away or should I wait until closer to the day of? as you can imagine they're pretty expensive rn

i would wait in this case just because every player might be out with the virus

Chances of at least one roster being at half strength or worse are pretty high. How much are you willing to pay to attend a hybrid NBA-G League game?

Russell Westbrook is truly a gift from the Chaos God of basketball

nooooooooo not my Ricky

Ricky Rubio just went down in a heap and immediately started to signal to the bench.

He's been helped off the floor by teammates and he's not putting ANY weight on it.

Rubio: 27 points, 13 rebounds, 9 assists. Incredible game. Horrible to see it end like that...

ugh cavs were so cool hope ricky is okay

damn, that sucks for rubio

fun watching the nuggets run the warriors (sans dray) out of the building

nuggets missing all their guys too of course

Dubs not interested in this one it seems

Warriors announcers gotta be worst in the biz

it seems the Dubs have become interested

jokic’s free throw shooting is driving me nuts this year

Some really disgusting FT shooting in this game

Denver have scored 22 points in the half with 2:30 to go

jokic getting mauled out there

as usual

Just the ugliest of games lol

Porter def shouldn’t have passed that. Shoulda gone back to curry or just taken it himself

Game on the line, who you want taking the last shot? pic.twitter.com/Co2wOGOJ6P

A classic

The Miami Heat are signing C Aric Holman of the G-League Austin Spurs to a 10-day hardship deal, sources tell ESPN. His best attribute today? Driving distance. He's on his way to San Antonio to meet the Heat and help them have 8 active players to avoid a postponement vs. Spurs.

Former first-round pick Earl Clark has been out of the NBA since 2015, but he’s re-entered the G League pool and has been claimed to play for Miami’s affiliate in Sioux Falls, sources tell ESPN. Clark, 33, most recently played in South Korea. Another name for the call-up list.

this is the game i have tickets to and we are not going, itd be v v cool if they postponed this thing

unclear to me why teams would rather do this than have games postponed? i guess they’d rather take losses now than have a compressed schedule closer to the playoffs? or is the league just outright forcing them to sign guys and keep things going

the latter is it

m bison doesn’t want to watch tyler herro take 32 shots on the second night of a back to back. for shame!

thought you were a real fan bison smh

The Athletic had a nice article about what an amazing opportunity this is for so many guys who are out of the league to showcase themselves and get another shot to make an impression. But yeah, for all other parties involved the most cynical read seems to be the right one

a ten day contract pays $50-150k depending on experience i mean anyone whos not already super rich has got to be getting off the couch for that

herbert jones seems like the kinda guy that every nba team wants

i think it’s a couple of things—there’s no way to rearrange the schedule so you’d be looking at cancellations and lost revenue. which maybe teams would live with if a 2-week pause or something like that guaranteed and end to this, but it won’t.

Lol I read that as "Guard named League Austin Spurs"

The NBA has postponed the Heat-Spurs game in San Antonio tonight, source tells ESPN. Heat are short the required eight available players.

Rubio done for season with an ACL, damn

cancel the season

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He is Dead.
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now; put out every one,
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun,
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the woods;
For nothing now can ever come to any good

some of the team point totals the last few nights have been hideous

yeah this is some goofy shit

couple games id thought would be interesting then checked the lineups and nope no thx. memphis lakers the only one im going to keep an eye on i think.

Unbelievable. pic.twitter.com/1aCXSjsnp8
