2021-22 NBA "REGULAR" SEASON THREAD

tonight started a stretch where the heat have 11 of 12 games at home. a few tough ones in there (suns, warriors, nets) but also the rockets, pistons, thunder, knicks and kings. there will only be 6 games left in the season after that. they are looking pretty strong for the 1 seed right now, and it’s looking like a pretty decent chance the bucks, sixers and nets are all on the other side of the bracket

i dont want a heat celtics series every game will be 83-79

Lmao love the commitment

It's also amazing that the same LeBron who led the league in assists two years ago, when the Lakers won the championship, had only 3 assists tonight.

such a deeply strange man

more like HEAL skip bayless bc that man is hurting

Also a huge play was when Lebro goaltended klays layup then they got a layup on the other end and a tech cos of how bad the call was. 5 point swing and momentum switched

kd too good kd shouldnt be allowed

he shouldn’t be able to shoot so good

to me the bigger issue is that you just cant bother him he just shoots right over you by law you should be able to bother him

tatum had one good defensive possession where he bothered him and everyone was like hey wow look at that

the heat put bam on him the other night and if you were gonna come up with a player who could theoretically guard KD it would be bam and KD was just totally unbothered

he just doesnt care reminds me of prime steroids bonds hes so calm almost dispassionate

slim reaper iirc - got a job to do

lol nets with a give foul in the bonus

wow that was an exceptional game good stuff end to end

54 points for tatum, this play

51 points for Jayson Tatum 🔥🔥🔥pic.twitter.com/sSyJieSw1g

BRANDON INGRAM, HOW?! 😱

should count for either 6 points or zero points

HOW?!

10% can be attributed to tens of thousands of hours on the court shooting hoops and the other 90% was pure luck

what a baby

have to assume both of his teams have pushed an army of the top sports psychologists money can buy onto simmons, but they are failing miserably to get him to wrap his head around the proper method to "move on" from something that is weighing on you

Simmo the Savage

everyone: just take the L ben
ben: no it is not my L please remove it

Should have been an interview with PASS magazine.

lol

DISH

the phrase "SIMMO THE SAVAGE" is really difficult to deal with on like a number of levels

its insanely australian

saying it to myself in an australian accent and i’m really disturbed

fav aussie accent hack: say "rise up lights" to say "razor blades"

Simmo the Savage sounds like one of the underbosses in a Mad Max movie.

haha otm

I was going to go in on that name but figured nah that's just par for the course nowadays. Heartened to see y'all found it as eye rolly as I did.

I just saw my first time Harden clapping for the ball while Embiid is doing his thing.

just letting him know hes there lol

Available Warriors for tonight against Denver:

Jordan Poole
Moses Moody
Jonathan Kuminga
JTA
Kevon Looney
Damion Lee
Otto Porter Jr.
Bjelica

Expect to see some of Chris Chiozza and Quinndary Weatherspoon too

they were mad about when the league rescheduled that game and said no were not coming

great night to be starting kuminga in fantasy, i am predicting… for myself

sengun really has some of the worst bacne i've ever seen in the NBA

Who's your all-bacne starting 5?

i'm sure i've posted about this before but i got to sit in the courtside press box once around 2006-2007 when the jazz were in town and carlos boozer's juiced up roid zits were, from a couple feet away, some of the most intense body horror i'd then experienced

i guess we'll see where it goes but cade cunningham is just weirdly unflappable for a rookie.

between him and mobely two guys from this draft already looking like obviously very good players
