2021-22 NBA "REGULAR" SEASON THREAD

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.

no idea how that’s even possible

lol insane

Lebron just playing an absolutely insane number of minutes

bong bing

Man watching Russ is rough. I can’t believe Bron hasn’t blown up at him yet. Lotta just turning away and biting his tongue but you gotta think that won’t last too much longer

phrase i read in the athletic today commented that westbrook is such a weapon but that "his mistakes are so cartoonishly bad" it's difficult to forgive them and that is sort of perfect for me

happy 37th birthday to “lebron james”

He's old enough to be my son!

watch the play again. Mobley’s up-and-under was so nasty even Kuz had to give him five. pic.twitter.com/xOXyuiQp7f

So cool

The return of Super Nintendo Mario Chalmers

ok?

League source confirms no extra random stuff (cash, dead Euros, fake picks, etc.) in Cavs-Lakers swap ... just straight up Valentine for Rondo.

i think woj or one of the other stenographer tweeter types posted that rondo is excited to play for the cavs but man it feels like any time he isn’t playing in LA, basically, he’s terrible and disinterested

Just an all time weird career

Pop a shot

happy new year ilh!

hny! wishing you all a 2022 of thunderous dunks and frenetic hoisting

I know the Lakers are losing a lot but what Lebron is doing at his age is fucking insane

hope he plays until hes 40 tbh

dont see why not will give him time to get the alltime scoring title too

he can play w bronnie too

going back to cleveland and forcing them to draft his son would be the perfect cap to his career

He’s already proven to be one of the worst GMs in league history so why not.

And yeah he’ll be playing until he’s 40 unless something happens to him like what happened to Kobe with the injury.

going back to cleveland and forcing them to draft his son would be the perfect cap to his career

yeah, is bronny even supposed to be nba-level good? last i checked he was 6'3" and more like a nice d1 prospect. not that that would stop gm lebron, but...

speaking of hilarious nepotism did I mention that the blazers rolled out a late afternoon Friday NYE press release that the very good and beloved coach Chauncey Billups hired a new assistant and it is his brother
