2021-22 NBA "REGULAR" SEASON THREAD

he was easily their best defender on giannis. i wonder if he gets broken out again in the odds if the match up calls for it

James Harden finished 0-for-10 on 2-pointers against the Nets.

He is the 2nd player this season to go 0-for-10 on 2-pointers in a single game.

The other player is Russell Westbrook (Nov. 6 vs Trail Blazers). pic.twitter.com/PwAWISrIkL

Doc Rivers: “We succumbed to their physicality tonight.”

— Tim Bontemps (@TimBontemps) March 11, 2022

i too hate to get smacked with a pillow

we all eventually succumb to the nets physicality

btw not sure i'm loving that quote if i'm large physical boy joel embiid

btw joel took 19 fts in the 1st half and 19 in the game

he took a look at halftime and made a business decision

yeah. i’m sure he saw the writing on the wall so i won’t hate on him too hard but he wanted no part of that game in the second half. i think his first three shots were threes, he didn’t go anywhere near the rim, took no FTs, and let the nets slice to the rim repeatedly before it really got out of hand

lol cmon

Kyrie: “If you come at Ben, you come at us.”

lmaooooo. he never disappoints

if you come at ben, you come at us (unless you mean me specifically, at home games, where i am still ineligible to play)

we all eventually succumb to the nets physicality

Really solid game from looney on Jokic. Looney just turned 26 but plays like and moves like a 35 year old vet.

my god is he really 26

Really solid game from looney on Jokic.

basically the only way to slow jokic down is to do things that might get you an assault charge if it were on the street and hope the refs have an off game

If only Jokic got foul calls like Embiid and Giannis did… Guy has a 4 inch gash on his neck and hasn’t got 1 call the whole 4th quarter #JokicMVP pic.twitter.com/KTpRosbLdN

Not unlike curry!

I’d feel more for Jokic if he wasn’t a total bully-baller. I thought Looney was fantastic.

jokic 0/8 from three was what did them in i think. and when he got his 4th foul in the 3rd and had to sit and curry started coooking

it was a really good game i hope they meet in the playoffs

lol footage of nba players having fun after/before losses as a gotcha is a common trope BUT... its never not funny with harden.

just went 3 for 82 in the biggest game of the season lemme go celebrate with some cupcakes with fireworks in them

incredible stuff

Live by the Beard, die by the Beard.

so good.

brutal slate tonight. none of the MVP candidates playing, only 2 games between teams with winning records

yes BUT pop get get the all-time win record tonight

dudes cade cunningham is so good

yup

lukaesque just controlling shit out there

i feel like he's going to get slept on because his game seems so sound and under control already. he's like a guard tim duncan.

if he continues on his current trajectory hes gonna be pretty hard to ignore

pistons should consider getting chet next

they don't suck today--one more piece and they could be very interesting in a few years

i can't remember the last time i saw a team hit a wall like the pistons just did--scored 5 points in the relevant portion of the 4th quarter

they were hitting everything then they were hitting nothing

cade and chet would absolutely be a contending core in the east 4-5 years from now

Pop has the record?

pop get get the all-time win record tonight

dunking on the likes of don nelson & lenny wilkins is a pretty big deal

allow me to be the first to congratulate pop on being basketball’s #1 dad

GOAT

Speaking of 50 more for Lebron

i can't remember the last time i saw a team hit a wall like the pistons just did--scored 5 points in the relevant portion of the 4th quarter

east standing are kinda wild rn if the nets won the first play in game youd have bucks philly and nets all on the same side of the bracket

it’s the absolute dream scenario for the heat but the margins are thin pretty much everywhere even between them and the bucks if the bucks keep on this run

the nets basically have no chance of getting out of the play in game & i wonder if we’ll actually see whichever team is in the 2 spot try and low key tank their way down the standings to avoid the nets. is having home court in the second round worth having to play the nets in round 1 instead of the cavs? (no.) there’s also the chance if you’re the 3 seed that the nets beat the 2 seed and you get home court anyway

it’s the absolute dream scenario for the heat but the margins are thin pretty much everywhere even between them and the bucks if the bucks keep on this run

its also the dream scenario for... the celtics lol

the funny thing is the heat and celtics might actually be better than those other teams, but just the star power scares you, and of course you dont want to throw the nets into the mix
