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

would have to become klay thompson basically

tough ask since he can't shoot

its true that being able to shoot is key to becoming klay

are you all talking about the Jabari Smith who is 12 games into his NBA career? or is there another Jabari Smith I'm unaware of?

there are some other games from before the nba too

This was fun

A quick thread of Jose Alvarado breaking Kevin Porter Jr's brain in the fourth quarter of last night's win over the Rockets:

(Disclaimer: KPJ did score two layups on Jose during this stretch)

lol good stuff

nuggs see their 12 point lead shrink to 4 in 3.5 non-jokic minutes to open the second quarter, then as soon as he steps on the floor he creates 5 quick points with 2 amazing passes

iirc he has the biggest on off spread in the league

yeah the team just looks unstoppable any time he’s out there

he’s got one of those silly classic cp3 stat lines so far: 4-4-8 and a steal in 13 minutes, 2/2 from the field, +13

I love KCP so much

big matchup of the super teams tonight

The Nets will be without Ben Simmons (left knee soreness) and Seth Curry (left ankle injury management) as well as the suspended Kyrie Irving. https://t.co/7wjmAcvqsy

12 assists for jokic at the half. absolutely insane stretch

I probably don’t need to ask statmuse how many 7 footers have put up 10 assists in a half

im going to watch the jazz now, get to the bottom of this

feels like the lakers and nets shouldnt be allowed to play each other, the league should step in and mercy rule the game away

they got a lot of solid dudes and are getting some really nice opponent shooting percentage luck, is my take

i watched a video on them today seems like that rookie coach they got from the celtics is doing good stuff too

was puttering around their guys stats and it looks like while he's not playing a ton of minutes walker kessler is already a pretty decent rim protector and large center type guy

MPJ has some of that klay in him imo

mb on one side of the ball

ebmiid doing it all tonight

holy fuck Embiid's statline is insane tonight

wow whaat

just had two blocks and a bucket to ice what was a 2pt game too

then he threw up a tough heat check three to try to get to 60 but missed badly

damn 57

7 blocks!

57-11-8-1-7 on 19/28 very good

feels like something that's never been done before

7 blocks!

Also came here to say "7 blocks!"

42-10-6 last night too

feels like something that's never been done before

I don’t understand how the warriors played as well as they did 5-6 months ago and now are this bad

Dray punched Poole and the vibes went to hell.

their offensive rating is dead identical to last year, they're just not playing defense anymore

congrats to the 3-10 los angeles lakers on defeating the 6-7 brooklyn nets at home in the famous crypto.com arena

Fortune favors the brave.

I don’t understand how the warriors played as well as they did 5-6 months ago and now are this bad

yeah i was impressed by how the kings were hustling. they look like a real team

the warriors also didnt seem able to take advantage of sabonis at center

great to see Huerter thriving

yeah hes solid, kinda got lost in the mix last year, wanted the celtics to go after him but they got brogdon instead, which is why im not an nba general manager, amongst other reasons

hawks just really needed somebody at that position that could handle the ball and defend better, but they are missing his shooting (and bogdanovich's)

with huerter and keegan they really have some solid shooting out there. opened up all kinds of stuff for fox and sabonis.

Keegan movement 3 running full speed off staggers is ridiculous. Hope they keep running this stuff for him. pic.twitter.com/TdhZNMh3U5

thats a pretty pro shot for a rookie

the knicks got boo'd off the court after giving up 145 to the thunder

If you're like me, you probably saw Cam and Quickley defending their asses off amidst the chaos and thought, "what would the two of them look like next to RJ? How could they help him?"

The trio of IQ-Reddish-RJ has played 4 minutes together this entire season. Think about that.

he’s one of the most overrated players in the bcuz the knicks haven’t had a player worth signing to a second contract in 20 years

Can't believe the Brunson signing didn't fix all their problems.
