2021-22 NBA "REGULAR" SEASON THREAD

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

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


good luck with all that. why even risk it honestly

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

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

lol

good news

Portland Trail Blazers guard CJ McCollum is expected to return to lineup on Monday vs. the Magic in Orlando, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. McCollum fully recovered from a collapsed lung that he suffered on Dec. 4 against Boston.

nice

time to answer the question of a generation: what does it look like when cj mccollum has his own team

seems like coming off a collapsed lung into a league that is lousy with Covid might be a great idea?

we're going to find out I guess

That pass from Iggy!

ANDRE IGUODALA WHAT A PASS. 🤯🤯

fearless

Bummer that Lavine got hurt, but nice to see the Dubs put up 78 in the first half.

bulls down by 30 to the dubs a game after losing by 26 to the nets

and lavine has a knee injury

it has been a seriously unpredictable first half of the season

Dubs win by 40+ bulls were really just bored out there kinda weird

maybe it’s just a bad week for them but as good as they’ve been this year watching them vs the top teams it just feels like they’re a few bullets short. demar and lavine are awesome but vuc has been pretty bad this year and lonzo doesn’t really dominate games like that very often. and after those guys it’s a lot of minutes to players who are kinda ehhh

Damn

oh my golly

prob hard to find a better summation of the lamelo ball worldview than a between the legs alley oop pass

LaMelo's middle name is LaFrance? god I love him

L.L. Ball, seriously?

Mavs whooped the Grizz in Memphis to end the streak. Mavs coming on

if the mavs can hold onto the 5 seed they may actually get a winnable first round match up this year

doesnt seem out of the question at all. i like the grizz but could see them sliding a bit too at some point

lamelo rules

love lamelo lamelo is love

in the past two nights malik monk has thrown an alley oop off the backboard in an eventual loss and lamelo ball had thrown a between the legs alley oop in an eventual loss
