2021-22 NBA "REGULAR" SEASON THREAD

in other news austin rivers getting thrown out of the game for swinging his elbows around and not even making remote contact with the defender is the funniest moment of the NBA season for me, personally

i think on 5 occasions each season a ref should be able to eject austin rivers from a game without warning and for no reason at all. just to keep the league a bit lively, spice things up, keep everyone on their toes, add to the entertainment product

players should be allowed to eject him, fans sometimes too

there could just be a Twitter poll on nationally televised games where you vote on if he gets ejected or not

I used to hate austin rivers but now I like him

i dont hate him but i am opposed to him

an important distinction ^^

Would rather see that ref get ejected tbh

You get both teams to decide to eject a ref, to be replaced by mystery ref behind door #1 or 2. One door has a clone of Earl Strom, the other is Charo.

matt think about how much suspense would be added to nuggets games next season after austin rivers had received his fourth random ejection of the season. it would be a playoff atmosphere in the building every night with number 5 hanging out there

lmao

Giannis sure is doing a lot of dunks!!!

nets going with kyrie-curry-KD-brown-drummond in crunch time tonight

after middleton got ejected the bucks are going with jrue-grayson-wes matthews-giannis-portis … they should try and stay healthy in the playoffs

Oh wow that was almost a disaster

i can get used to Giannis turning into a clutch FT shooter

wowww that was the look too

good game for giannis getting the mvp

dont change the channel folks we got Lakers Jazz coming up next

ok yeah Giannis now the Bucks all time leading scorer

and I know you're wondering "well who is the Nets alltime leading scorer?" lmao guess what it's Brook Lopez

in other news Coach Bud's lineup vs. the Clippers tomorrow just leaked

man the Sonic 2 trailer looks awesome

lakers will miss the nba playoffs

sixers 4th quarter collapse vs ...the pistons this evening

I am like 95% sure Morey used a cursed monkey paw to land Harden

giannis basically just pushed a button that said “free throws” whenever he wanted to get points at the end of the game and OT. he must have shot 10 FTs

why is doc like this

Amazing

a little bummed the lakers might not make the play-in games and get creamed in front of the whole world :(

the world is watching right now

seriously what is doc doing??? is he trying to get fired?

I wouldn’t be upset if he did. His rotations have been weird forever, even if he doesn’t have much of a bench to work with.

gotta think thibs is done

for being known as a players coach he sure seems to throw his players under the bus at any opportunity.

listening to tim mcmahon on lowe’s pod…strong and forceful message that mitchell wants out of utah sooner or later.

I’m out for the season officially. 🤦🏾‍♂️. See y’all in the fall. 👑✌🏾

(april fools?)

uhhh yeah I don't think any player's ever announced his own season ending injury

I have to admit I got my hopes up

he must be actually injured otherwise hed be playing those three games to get the scoring title

seriously what is doc doing??? is he trying to get fired?

its just crazy after all the blowback from the shit he said about simmons

I defended him for the Simmons stuff bc it was after having to field Simmons questions all season and they had just lost a tough game 7.

This is just an unforced error and Harden’s been there 5 minutes.

psyop cause he knows signing harden to a max deal this summer would be bad

at least we know that harden never steps down from a challenge

The big question is… Will the harden honeymoon phase last long enough for a playoff run?

didnt even last til the end of the reg season lol

steph reevaluated on april 11th now. beginning on court activities. not gonna play again in the regular season, not good! (not horrible tho)

I’m not crazy about playing the mavs in the first round, but the 6 seed would otherwise be ideal for denver to avoid the suns as long as possible. really need some movement with porter and murray tho

if theyre not back by now idk
