2021-22 NBA "REGULAR" SEASON THREAD

the nets TV commentators were saying during the heat game on saturday that seth curry & drummond would’ve been available except there was an unexplained “delay” in getting harden’s physical done in order to complete a trade, the implication being something nefarious was happening in order to further screw the nets lol. the relationship between these two teams moving forward should be very fun

jordan otm. another week to lose a couple more lbs too

Harden is supposedly not limited at practice, so I am not worried. I’d also rather he have the ASG break to heal aka party.

i wonder if james harden would be attending the all star game if it was happening in a city that isn’t cleveland

Portland has been uhhh pretty impressive these last few games

should have traded dame

anfernee simons has done a crazy amount to high quality hoisting since hes gotten minutes

they can always trade dame when they need to. but apparently dame's been playing hurt for almost six years. he may be worth keeping now that he's fixed that problem. the guy's a stone cold killer.

a reasonable question is who would you rather have than dame that you could trade dame for

idk, 3 first round picks?

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine has privately told people that he feels tightness and almost clicking at times with his left knee, per @KCJHoop on the Bulls Talk Podcast.

that didn't stay 'private' very long, did it?

I have the same problem!

man that sucks... sounds like it might be headed to surgery

I love this kinda shit:

That's cool

Mark Thiessen does not know ball:

"The reason he no longer plays basketball has nothing to do with his performance on the court. In his last game as a Celtic, Freedom had seven points and 12 rebounds in 12 minutes of play — including a beautiful three-point shot. What more likely cost him his career is his criticism of the genocidal Chinese Communist regime, and its brutal suppression of freedom in Tibet, Hong Kong and the Xinjiang region."

just another prop for their weird bullshit, forgotten by this time tomorrow

Just setting him up for his new career in media. I'd hate to see him devolving into the warm up act for Kyle Rittenhouse at gun shows, but he seems headed that direction.

enes can't stop xi jinping from getting to the rim in the pick and roll

joel fouling the celtics out here theyre going to have to put marcus on him

That was not a foul on Tatum - both guys got ball.

I'm at a loss.

celtics are shooting into the ocean lol wow

Refs aren't helping, but you gotta tip your cap if they're going to make shots like that Brown deep 3.

refs def overactive but its going both ways

wouldve liked to see harden tonight but rob is out too so its even

ok, lol, Brown getting Jordan calls now.

honestly its about time the league started showing jaylen some respect

lol embiid cmon

lol

Sixers center Joel Embiid trying to James Harden’s trademark step-back move. Assistant coach Sam Cassell keeps saying Embiid is taking four steps, tho. Harden shows him how to do it with two steps. pic.twitter.com/f5l9Vq8gyn

yes james, teach joel how to take step back threes. very good.

he tried one at the end of the half! and got called for a travel

Apropos of nothing, I think Lou Williams is officially the player I would most like to hang with. I really hope he retires a hawk

he does have a signature wing at a legendary titty bar

who among us does not

We grew up in the same county. We had to use his high schools football field for awhile because we didn’t have one. Dude just oozes Atlanta

celtics up 40 on philly

45

nope, no bad vibes at all from harden's first day with the sixers

uhhh Harden has the best +/- of anyone on the team

should be normal im sure everything will be normal

as i always say, you can't accrue a negative + / - if you don't play

lmao at all this

"that is... not allowed"

bertans had a nice game for the mavs vs the heat tonight, scored 12 points in 13 mins on 4-8 shooting. physically speaking i thought he looked pretty spry. wondering if this might be a batum situation where a bad franchise mothballed an older expensive dude bcuz they just mentally wrote off his giant contract but he actually still had something left in the tank putting the salary aside. they may have backed into a decent change of scenery play there we'll see. he's still a career 40% three shooter if he can stand around and shoot even like 37% from three he'll basically replace porzingis on offense

chris paul just won a jump ball vs nic batum
