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

Hey it turned out that Bol Bol actually is a really talented basketball player

I’m holding our judgment, partly because it would hurt too much if he were actually good. let’s see him hold up for a couple of months

seems like a guy who might just break your heart

we all know bol has talent its just if he can make it work in an nba game, im rooting for him, very cool player

weve come full circle

Minnesota's Rudy Gobert has entered health and safety protocols and is listed out tonight vs. Rockets.

he invented a new covid

yeah i don’t think talent was ever the question with bol… it was the not being terrible at NBA basketball part. seems relevant to the wiseman convo in terms of a super raw talent getting onto a bad team where he can get minutes without anyone caring about the score

It’s cool cos hes doing things we’re all excited to see wembyama do but against actual nba talent

This magic team is fascinating and cool

These screen calls are completely ridiculous it makes no sense

lol that Fox gamewinner

That was a really fun game

Magic stole the inbounding pass to tie it up and then De'Aaron Fox lets it FLY FOR THE WIN 🚨pic.twitter.com/xP9WCiACxI

james jones hoping against hope that jae crowder hasn’t blocked his number.

damn he had been balling

that sucks

knicks fan hit a halfcourt shot for a car tonight, one of the greatest plays in all of sport

the celtics were cheering for him

The C's bench was so happy after a fan hit a half court shot to win a car! 🤯 pic.twitter.com/mIEg95qKNr

u literally love to see it

aww

he C's bench was so happy after a fan hit a half court shot

Uh, the Knicks bench was bouncing, happy and celebrating. The Celtics bench was kinda "OK, that's interesting."

A win for humanity

i’d be mad if i lived in new york city and hit a half court shot and my prize was a car (a kia no less)

Haha fair but just sell it

lol this had occurred to me

wait i get the logistical argument but let's not disrespect kias around here

Bones Hyland was NC-17 tonight

He’s really fun

I almost posted something on my skepticism about building your franchise around Anthony Edwards - and not because of his basketball talent - a few days ago, but erased it and kept moving. He is obviously very young and has many years to learn how to be a good team player and teammate, but he's has some NAGLs this season.

crying @ that video

hardenesque except his positioning is worse should be further out to pull his man away from the play

Who unplugged his controller

wow lol

ant man more like can't man

when he said the paint was too clogged for him to go in there he really wasn’t kidding

he has time to change this but right now he's definitely a guy who's great when things are good and.....not great when things are not

i sorta sympathize with him in that a new GM came in and made one of the worst trades of all time that severely messes up how he can play & didn’t even tell him about it

xxpost: yup. you could see it at Georgia, too.

i'm old so i'm as quick to react as anyone, but it's important to remember that he turned 21 three months ago.

he could really use a few of the right veterans around him. not sure who that is, but looking at their roster, i don't see them.

i think KAT can handle it

lmao

Hahaaaa

Lue: Kawhi Leonard without timetable for return.
