2021-22 NBA "REGULAR" SEASON THREAD

the thing about trading simmons for "a star" is under the best of circumstances is very hard to trade a star for a star, im sure morey must know this

If Embiid is healthy at the deadline, I absolutely would do heyward plus and go for it this year.

he would be a great fit for them but on the other hand he is gordon hayward

that's been an issue his whole career

I have basically no investment in the sizers decision but I do think it would be funny to not trade simmons and make him continue to do this pouting shit indefinitely

sizers? surely you meant the philadephia scissors

what if he just sat out the remaining years of his contract and then when he was a free agent the nba has to fold bc ultra covid claims half the league and ppl lose interest in sports bc it distracts from their time harvesting at their communes/shooting each other at their compounds

rly makes u think

make him continue to do this pouting shit indefinitely

he'll pout no matter where he is, whether playing or not playing.

there was some hilarious reporting somewhere recently that it’s finally dawned on the sixers that simmons being owed a shitload of money over the next 4 years *may* be harming, not helping, his trade value.

Other recent reports have been that Morey is trying to move Harris as well as Simmons, which sure I guess Morey likes making his own life even more difficult.

i wish you all the luck in your endeavors daryl

at the end of the half gobert just banked in an 80-footer thrown with one hand but missed getting it off like 0.2 secs before the clock expired

jokic takes an entire 28 minutes to notch his triple double tonight. it is the second night of a back to back after all

jokic was great (25-15-14 with 2 steals and only 3 turnovers) but gobert was his equal today, gotta give credit where due

miles bridges just scored 22 points in the 1st q vs the knicks

“It must be noted that there is enough noise circulating leaguewide about Harden's reported openness to relocation this summer” 👀

ah sure why not

He's angling for a move to the Clippers.

trade for westbrook and tht

sold

that’s a defector-year-end-roundup-ass sentence

i guess the refs forgot all about the ref baiting stuff huh. hardens bag of tricks seems to be working just fine these days.

yeah theyre basically back to calling the game too tight again

lauri locking up harden on the biggest possession of the game?? ok

lol watch steven adams remove this guy

just going on a lil walk with his toddler

top shelf bouncing work there

One thing is very clear after listening to Kyrie speak postgame today: There is nothing that is going to make him change his mind regarding the vaccine. He’s made up his mind — he’s not going to take it.

they need to get a 5-6 seed so they can have him 4/7 games per series in the playoffs, if needed

seems like there’s a decent chance kevin durant is the only one of those three left on the nets at the beginning of next season

he'll probably back on the Warriors next year

kyrie and nets really just banking on the ban being lifted by the summer time. possible but not likely at this rate

they shd lift it the day after the nets get bounced from the offs

Missed the game today: Embiid scored 32, Beal scored 15, and the Sizers lost by 19?

dont look at harris line

Nets math from today's Power Rankings: If Durant is out until the All-Star break, that leaves 8 regular-season games (after the break, not in BKN, NYK or TOR) where they could have all 3 stars. Thru today, they've had all 3 in 16 of a possible 114.https://t.co/aqVjiKqyb4 pic.twitter.com/ZxzOFnyR53

crazy

they shoulda picked one guy in the big 3 who was perpetually healthy and also not james harden

they definitely went all-in in a pretty weird way in reality if not on paper

may terrible things continue to happen to them

i mean, every team in the NBA would've done what they did if given the chance and it's not like they tore down some great nucleus in order to do so. but um, yeah. it's looked tenuous from the minute it all came together. then again they may have been half an inch from winning a title last year. so i guess we'll see

this lanky ass raptors team is fun to watch

kyrie's incredible dumb stance on the virus is not anything anyone could've imagined

what? are we talking about the same kyrie?

flat earth means viruses move horizontally only, spreads much faster

Kyrieka is a 3-super-star team that requires 3 separate basketball courts to play

Taking out a seasons worth of frustrations on Rudy

PJ tucker leads the NBA in 3pt shooting percentage at 47.3%

the east is competitive this year. top 1-6 are all within two wins of each other and then a slight drop and 7-11 are within two games of each other as well. top ten teams are above .500 where the west only has six teams above .500
