2021-22 NBA "REGULAR" SEASON THREAD

sure why not

RWB's usage rate is 27.7%...he plays 35 minutes a game. how often does a "contender" (you know what I mean) trade away a player like that?

that trade would be hilarious

the lakers should trade... lebron

i keep hearing ppl bring up westbrook for wall but i have no idea why the lakers would do that

a driving sense that they have to do something, anything

you know it's really too bad the lakers won that fake championship a couple years ago, would prefer the story of lebron's time in los angeles being an unmitigated failure but i am a cruel and unyielding man

its kind of funny this way too tho

lol i kind of forgot that happened

i have fond memories of the bubble, so much ball, a radiant light during a dark and troubling time. here's a clip from the bubble that some posters might enjoy reliving, just to jog the memory

If you want to get freaky, how about Russ and Lebron for Simmons and Harris?

hmm i dont remember that block did the bubble even happen seems weird idk

really impossible to say from this distance if it was a collective hallucination or not, i prefer not to reflect on that time

oh hey this is out of character

a normal cool role player

Has there been a douchier player?

some really bad basketball being played in this game. Both teams are shooting like 20% from 3 and DeRozan is on pace to shoot 70 free throws

Giannis and Portis like Batman and Robin out there

Bulls miss three 3s in 14 seconds to end it

strange guy on and off the court

xxp one would think Grayson might be more robin related but no, just kind of dick-ish
such an egregious foul on the bald eagle there

someone is going to take grayson down hard one of these days and it will be so well-earned

he'll be ok because he is solid, like a rock

Lol are you guys seriously pretending that was a flagrant 2

You guys have all watched so much basketball and you see that and think it’s something unusual. I guess half the country voted for Donald trump so anything is possible

Caruso on Allen foul: "Dude just grabbed me out of the air. Kind of bullshit."

i dunno about unusual but egregious, sure.

It was a basic flagrant 1 nbd

of all the people to be in the tank for!

Get in the tank with me, where things are fair

Hey curry finallly hit a walk off buzzer beater

lol not liking Grayson Allen is just like voting for Trump!!

i didn’t say it was unusual and i didn’t say it was a flagrant 2. i said one of these days someone is going to take his ass down.

Euthanize Grayson Allen. He cannot be rehabilitated and he does not deserve sanctuary

switching topics… as a longtime hater I have to say so find it strange that porzingis has not gotten any consideration for the all star game. he’s been really good!

Grayson Allen is a nice guy who isn’t a particularly dirty player

i wonder why everyone else in the world has the opposite impression then

matt i value ur contributions to the board SOMETIMES but im gonna ask u to step back and consider whether you judgment of character of the ted cruz of the nba is in fact reliable

i will have no choice but 2 begin spreading the rumor that matt armstrong is in fact the online alias of one grayson allen, nba player

There's a reason why flagrant fouls are treated differently from fouls that occur in the course of normal play. They are very dangerous to players even when they are unintentional. Allen will gladly and intentionally commit a flagrant 1 in any situation where he thinks it might benefit his team.

To Matt's mind, this is nbd. Matt is not and never will be the player on the receiving end of a flagrant 1 delivered by a NBA-sized athlete, but he might change his mind about 'nbd' if he ever caught one.

I don't even know the difference between flagrant fouls, I simply want Grayson Allen to be beaten up

there should be three levels of flagrant (third one you get beat up)

thought the initial play was just a hard foul but he went too far by then swinging around with the right arm. you can't do that with his rep and not expect to get tossed

i was once sent to the infirmary by a cherokee parks elbow, so i'm sure aimless will defer to my judgment on these matters

Was it still attached to Cherokee?

caruso fractured his wrist and needs surgery

nbd

next Bulls/Bucks game might get a bit chippy huh

Man that sucks, he just got back to playing, too.
