2021-22 NBA "REGULAR" SEASON THREAD

yeah its very odd, maybe he got injured since then idk

lol aron gordon on the nuggs sideline in a tie dye fleece hoodie fully colorado

bucks trapped steph all game and he finished with 8 points but there are other guys on the team kind of a weird choice

the bucks really need connaughton back which isn’t a great place to be in but in terms of a role player who can reasonably play offense and defense their roster provides very few options. they’re way overloaded on wes matthews, jordan nwora, jevon carter minutes & if grayson isn’t hitting threes he kinda isn’t playable in the offs bcuz any skilled guard can roast him every defensive possession

yeah their roster is kind of lacking the solid role players youd like to have on a contender

yeah the worry about the bucks is that they're one or two guys short and giannis can't compensate

thats been their problem for a while now

Very cool klay and Poole game that 3 man lineup w them and curry is cooking

bucks trapped steph all game and he finished with 8 points but there are other guys on the team kind of a weird choice

idk seemed like they were doing it earlier more and without any sort of reason really

Yah another thing is the bucks didn’t guard anyone else lol

Face guard Steph and uh let’s let klay Poole and wiggs walk into wide open shots all night. Or like dying on one screen.

After road wins over Phoenix and Denver on a back to back (without Fred VanVleet and OG Anunoby), Toronto is now just a game behind Cleveland for sixth in the East. Brooklyn is just four back of the Cavs, too. It’s going to be a wild ride to see who is in and out of the play-in.

amazing game for scottie barnes

With all the Cavs injuries I see them falling out. But… Kyrie can only play like a handful more games and Ben is scared to play one on one so who knows w them

kevin durant, best player in the NBA

yeah prob

celtics & mavs honoring KG by playing a game that’s on pace to finish like 79-76

lol

luka back looking painful

feeling increasingly confident the mavs will beat the jazz in the playoffs

Harden 1 for 8 so far and Sixers down by 12 at the half. We just can't have good things, lol.

Embiid 4/15 not much better. Honeymoon phase already over?

Jeez, didn't even see that. Tobias finally comes alive and everyone else disappears.

Harden playing like he's got a dababy record release party to get to in 5 minutes.

lol

they’re dodging the nets

suns put up 48 on the lakers in the 1st, 48!

Wacky things are happening lately. That pre-playoffs senioritis period

Lol that’s insane

the worst part of the season is here baby!

i think there’s this idea floating around out there about how you still don’t wanna play lebron and anthony davis in the playoffs. i don’t think the suns are feeling that right now

ad was talking shit in the pregame press conference lol

do people not remember last year’s playoff lakers? and this years team being markedly worse?

Anthony Davis, asked if his groin injury is the main reason the Lakers didn’t beat the Suns in the playoffs last year, says: “It was … We know that. They know that … They got away with one”

this is a fun read: https://www.silverscreenandroll.com/22932237/lakers-future-nba-draft-picks-trades-swaps

one gets the feeling that the only reason AD says stuff like that is because other people say it to him

AD should be experienced enough in the league by now to know he should not touch a question like that, but I guess not.

so the lakers were down 26 after one quarter and a 37yo man with a bum knee still led the team in minutes played

does lebron actually need another scoring title to cement his legacy? because that’s dumb

no he wants to get most points all time

he'll need at least another full season after this one..

i dont think this is strictly about the points record, if anything overextending himself this year will jeopardize the longevity he needs to eventually break the record. i think its a pride thing, and also having no faith that his teammates will help to win games.

Lebron is only trying on one end of the court he’ll be fine

From that link above:

The Lakers will have an interesting situation arise in 2024, if the world still exists by then.

Not sure whether to laugh or cry that reality is encroaching upon my methods of escape from it.

Anybody want to post this?

that doesnt look normal

surgically golf ball in his knuckle

surgically *implanted

just shut him down. hawks won't be making it out of the first round even if they win the play in game. pretty disappointing season

only the lakers have had a worse season compared to expectations. knicks one tier below.
