2022/23 NBA REGULAR SEASON THREAD "TANKING FOR WEMBANYAMA"

I’m really excited about mavs-nets, lots of narratives and revenge and drama and whatnot

The Denver Nuggets should trade for LeBron James today.

— George Karl (@CoachKarl22) October 27, 2022

dad go to bed!!

he's right and he should say it

i've been saying it for years, the denver nuggets should trade for lebron james today

shout out to the people in the comments sincerely trying to figure out the trade package

just came here to post a thought i had not really caught up on the thread but the denver nuggets should trade for lebron james today

btw apropos of nothing i recently watched this piece about how george karl dismantled a good bucks team for no apparent reason, or because he craves drama maybe

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oZc4PSTnM0

lol i don't think there's any question that george karl craved drama

those secret base second looks at history vids are great imo

i mean he def craved drama im just not sure thats why he did it, it couldve been for some reason more more like hating good vibes

i appreciate how they pick obscure topics like hey what happened to that bucks team that was good one year then you watch it and are like yeah that was kind of interesting xp

the vids on the history of specific beef are also a good time

yoo luke wyd

luka

i got so mad at him i called him by his american name

Last I saw George Karl was living in Hawaii and getting absolutely baked every day so maybe that's it

if the nugs traded for lebron it would break me. I want no part of that. I love this team

luka very casual in a bad spot

What a play by Simmons and finish from KD. Incredible dunk. pic.twitter.com/pt7CvsSLlE

he just did not think about the idea that a guy could be there

luka is dominating OT

hes redeeming himself for not thinking there could be a guy there

those passes were sick

4 fouls and 3 field goals from simmo tonight

im clear on his scoring problem but why is fouling so much

prob partly rust, but aggressive defensive players gonna foul. I just checked and dray has actually had fouls>FGs several times lol

windhorst dropped a theory on this based on talking to scouts--he wants to get out of the game.

absolutely brutal take but i do suspect that ben simmons doesn't like basketball anymore

jesus

savage assessment

i should be clear about what was being said--the observation was that he looked relieved when he was coming out of games with foul trouble. and also that he really wants to avoid free throws.

hahaha. simmons seems very much like a my next chapter sort of guy

he does except i don't have any sense that he has other goals or interests, so his next chapter is probably just sitting on a giant pile of money

his goals are being in the spotlight. he’ll get some endorsement modeling or whatever

he dated a kardashian. that’s his thing!

and giant piles of money are the kardashians' thing

he'd have to model for a product they don't buy in Philly or Jersey though

heat and warriors just had jovic and wiseman out there on the floor on each other. it was like a mini summer league game within an actual NBA game

The pass by Luka 😱😱😱pic.twitter.com/UfdZi6sPki

what amazes me about passes like that isn't even the pass itself it's the guy receiving it

That's almost Magic-level.

they were more routine but i was more impressed with the two back to back behind the back passes he hit to two different shooters in OT that led to wide open threes to ice that game. no look off the pick and roll behind his back right in the shooting pocket twice in a row

going to the Bucks game tomorrow. will be stoned to the bone and possibly wearing a deer costume

Nice. I’m going to see Zion tomorrow vs the suns. Taking my two lil guys who are really getting into hoops recently.

hell yeah!

*spottie to his kids when zion enters the game* thats zion

lol reminds me of when I took my wife to a game in Giannis's 2nd year and I was trying to explain who he was and after like a minute of play she was like "oh, it's gotta be that guy"

the new steph and klay

Ja Morant and Desmond Bane made franchise history last night. They are the first pair of Grizzlies teammates to each average 30 points over a two-game span in franchise history. pic.twitter.com/TEbVogkYxO

Two game span?

dumb stat but still

significant in that it seems shocking that it hadn't been done before!
