2021-22 NBA "REGULAR" SEASON THREAD

would be cool if memphis turned into a real griz town, why not seems fun

how do you even live within 50 miles of memphis and not want to be A Ja Guy

i ja i guy

Morant is way more fun to watch than Z-Bo was.

the grizz aren't the main deal in town or anything but i watched plenty of grit and grind playoff games where the crowd was pretty awesome. and yeah ja will only help.

Morant is way more fun to watch than Z-Bo was.

+ this team has a higher celling

lmao joe ingles two techs in the first half!

hahah what set him off?

idk i missed both the plays

he did look quite mad tho

jazz only had nine guys dressed too

they have no centers from the looks of things

The Hawks are truly a mess

man they looked down bad tonight. nine home losses in a row. they have 2 more vs the heat in the next 10 days & it will be interesting to see how those go bcuz there’s a big, um, coherence gap between those two teams right now

feels like a weirdly anonymous year from huerter. his percentages are better but i just feel like whenever i catch the hawks this year i forget he’s even out there

on the plus side i thought hunter’s three point shot looked good but to say the least he obv can’t solve their defensive issues just by being on the court

Seems like nate has run his course there

i have to say… i do enjoy watching kevin durant james harden and kyrie irving play basketball

i do too but they need to lose every game

that is a defensible position

nets just spanking the bulls up and down the court

maybe they could win one game then lose one for the rest of the season

bucks taking a different approach this year

The Bucks are showing or blitzing on 15.4 picks per 100 possessions, the second-highest rate in the NBA per Second Spectrum. That figure is more than double the league average this year (roughly seven per 100), and more than triple their rate from last season (roughly 4.5).

The Bucks may be the defending champs, but they’re still evolving 👀@NekiasNBA breaks down how their defense is getting more aggressive:https://t.co/EuOZpL4SpI

omg Westbrook is so bad! lol

down 4 to the Kings with a minute to play

https://streamable.com/wdab3f

8/40 from 3pt range in the last three games

lol my bad that's just like regular shots. i'm half asleep but damn this dude should not be a starter anymore

hes bad

worse than bad yo! he's a net negative on the court

i never really payed much attention to him in the past and i knew he had lost some of his athleticism but I thought he would be able to contribute some positive minutes and help with Lebrons work load but damn.

he was actually passing up shots under the hoop last night. He’s now just completely in his head and I’m sure it makes it even easier to know lebron and the fanbase want you gone halfway into the season.

Russ on the Kings’ game ops. playing “You’re as cold as ice” every time he missed a shot: “(Laughs) That’s funny. I hope they played that the last 14 years, too. That’s cute.”

yeah it was a total backbreaker. lebron and austin reaves had hustled their way back into the game only to have russ shoot it away

laker's

ESPN Sources: The Atlanta Hawks are trading forward Cam Reddish to the New York Knicks for a deal that includes a protected 2022 first-round pick via Charlotte. Knicks also acquire Solomon Hill and a 2025 second-round pick via Brooklyn in trade.

wtf

uhhhh this seems amazing for the knicks

could be clearing something for ben simmons?

just where my mind was going. that pick could be attractive

reddish and barrett together again. fire up the time machine and get healthy college zion in the mix too

i'm still pretty sure Cam's not worth the trouble. Still Hope Schlenk's up top more than just clearing cap space

pretty great deal for the knicks, nice to have extra picks to trade

i assume the hawks took the best deal they could get for reddish, his value must not have been all that high, tho recouping even a protected first isn’t nothing. they prob rightly feel like the idea of a first has more value at this point than the actuality of reddish. even if it’s not for simmons, schlenk all but said publicly he’s about to shake up the team

gotta think theres some interpersonal aspect of this trade, outwardly reddish seems like exactly the type of guy you keep around and develop

deandre jordan is a playoff god lolllll

it's definitely a "we don't want to pay you anything" trade, could be due to personality/work stuff but the hawks are about to get really expensive so it might be budgetary as well
