2021-22 NBA "REGULAR" SEASON THREAD

lol oh shit Russ too

we love LA

wiggins top 8 in fan votes lol

you see the rumors about donovan mitchell wanting to play for a big market then see stuff like this and it makes sense. also still crazy how many d rose stans are out there.

rose really captured the imagination of a nation

kyrie was near the top of these lists for years

kids love kyrie

rose is also huge in china

what i want to know is who tf is voting for aldridge, lamarcus

bandwagon people just vote for everybody on the team they adopt for the year

no idea who gets that third spot in the west frontcourt because the media and coaches sure aren't giving it to wiggins. draymond? gobert?

it will be one of those two

dray

Apparently Michael Porter Jr’s back surgery went so well that he really might be back this season

Apparently reddish has wanted out of Atlanta for a while

he's blue-ish now

orange-ish?

anyone else noticing this trend of refs calling offenseive fouls on open court screens that are legal but look bad cos the defender crumbles since they didnt see it coming?

there should be like 90% fewer illegal screens called in the NBA. such a bad & stupid game flow killer. it should be completely egregious to me or else let’s just keep it moving

its insane. warriors get about 3-5 per game it feels like

looney alone has to have about 30 on the season

Are the Warriors bad now?

Whole team collectively forgot how to shoot so yes

On-track to lose by double

jaysus that is a beatdown in progress

One of those one team makes every shot back other team makes no shots games

good luck with all that. why even risk it honestly

otm. (JVG voice) “TO ME,”

steph 12 points on 11 shots what the hell

Dubs need to send their whole team down to Santa Cruz. Just painful to watch at the moment.

if the nuggets don't beat portland by 100 points when portland is sans mccollum, simons, lillard, and lord knows who else, i am going to have reservations about their ability to win the nba championship

curry now 38/112 (.339) from the field and 16/57 (.281) from 3 in january. he’s actually doing a great job taking care of the ball and still hitting 90% of his free throws or else it’d be ugly

some insane facu sequences just now

steph 12 points on 11 shots what the hell

for a guy who is 35 and had heart surgery 10 years ago…jeff green can really elevate

as I was saying

Yeah it’s pretty wild that they signed Jeff Green to be a dunker spot/ transition finishing guy and at his age he can still succeed in this role

for a guy whose game never really evolved or changed all that much, jeff green has had quite a roller coaster career

He’s in the pantheon of solid dudes who play for 10+ teams

in retrospect it is absolutely bonkers that the celtics spent an entire season+ relying on him as their #1 option on offense. during a teardown, but still

in retrospect

Travis Schlenk's full answer on the reason for trading Cam Reddish.

I very much appreciate how open and transparent Travis is with the media. https://t.co/WYhb3uVlxd pic.twitter.com/fp9vwxmTy3

nice to see a GM give a normal and honest answer

Unlike some teams who dive into the tank, the blazers have now officially stumbled in and drowned. I am officially an orphan, looking for a foster team.

schlenk basically telegraphed in that quote that they're gonna try and turn that charlotte pick into something else. it will be interesting to see what they end up doing w/ it, if this whole excursion results in nothing it means the luka/trae trade will basically have been straight up

streaks update:

memphis has won 11 games in a row
orlando has lost 10 games in a row

desmond bane is just a cool name

This Grizzlies team is so cool. Their backcourt guys have names that sound like characters from DUNE and their front office gets their draft strategy entirely from Twitter. They are the people’s team
