2021-22 NBA "REGULAR" SEASON THREAD

it’s happened before in hockey but when players have hit each other across the head with sticks or done other stuff leading to like hospitalization. what jokic did was dangerous but don’t think it quite rises to that level…

morris is already set for life with league pension and free medical so that would take out a lot of the normal motivation to sue. maybe if it messed up a contract year it would be a different story tho morris had initiated with a p. agro hit on jokics ribs so idk

30 seconds after return:

Shams reports Kawhi has entered the protocols.

Lol jord let it go

Mike Miller could have sued Kobe, but he didn’t because it’s an asinine idea lol

its funny how intentionally launching a 95 MPH fastball at someone's dome is a criminal offense in every context except for a baseball game in progress

jokic is gonna take the shaq route and be doing wwe matches in 2029

“It was suggested to me this week by one league source to keep an eye on Atlanta as an emerging suitor for Philadelphia’s Simmons” 👀

yeah i dont see it from phillys pov maybe in a worst case scenario where just no one is offering much

they don’t really need more shooting guards and the hawks have a ton of shooting guards

Should have done the dejounte deal

2 late B-)

Agree that the need is really at the 3, but their SGs are Seth and Shake Milton, which is fine but they're smallish and shouldn't preclude anything.

By my count, more than half the league — 311 total players at this point — have now entered the NBA’s health and safety protocols this season, with 252 coming in December and 50 coming so far in January. (The other nine were in Oct/Nov.)

doesnt seem great

seems like a trade built around jerami grant for simmons makes sense since we know the pistons actually want to trade grant, maybe detroit sends picks/youngs to a third team for another guy

Yeah, I hear the pistons really like centers

hadn't looked at the standings in a minute, the west is so tight from 5-9, crazy

heat beat the full strength suns by 23 in phoenix tonight w/o butler (or bam). they’re now 8-2 vs the bucks, nets, bulls, warriors, jazz, and suns

Heatles are good it seems

the seeding in the east is gonna be so crucial this year. if the bucks & nets end up on the same side of the bracket again i like the heat’s chances of making the east finals

Feel like Boogie on the Nuggets should have happened in the offseason

The Detroit Pistons are finalizing a deal to acquire l Denver Nuggets’ F Bol Bol for Rodney McGruder and a future second-round pick, sources tell ESPN.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) January 9, 2022

Nuggets gave Bol every chance to try and he really didn’t. He probably will eventually somewhere else

needs one more bol

Hawks getting 20 pieced by the clippers b team

Clippers 27th in offense and missing half their team, and Hawks scratching their heads like "how do we guard these guys?"

jeez idk maybe nate macmillan is a shit coach

didn't realize how well the grizz were doing, very interesting

bandwagon for them and cavs filling up fast

basketball isn't played with two Bols

Big Boller Brand

watching bulls v dallas tonight. one of these streaks must break!

Memphis is just steamrolling the league of late

yeah they're abusing the lakers right now and acting like it's business as usual

six in a row for the mavs now

mavs defense looks pretty tight of late

also sinking threes at will

i had a dream about ja morants block

lol

i love the grizz

Desmond Bane pick was a franchise changer for the Grizz

JUST IN: NBA stars Klay Thompson and Andre Iguodala will take part of their salaries in the form of Bitcoin

(carefully marks one demerit each into Iggy and Klay's permanent record file)

i guess that if i were so rich that i no longer needed more money, i might hedge my bets in that way too
it would help if i were also so insulated and isolated by fame and talent that i would never get outside perspective on how fucking stupid crypto looks

i regret to inform you that the bay area billionaires are at it again
