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

Non contact running up the court grabbed at his calf which is pretty much the sign. No pressure on the leg and toe pointed down as he’s helped off. Rough.

Best case is a calf strain

Timberwolves say Karl-Anthony Towns has suffered a right calf strain.

Veteran referee Tony Brothers was forced to miss one game assignment after Dallas' Spencer Dinwiddie said Brothers referred to him as a "bitch-ass motherf-----r" Nov. 4, sources say.

It's believed no discipline was formally announced because it was not a suspension without pay. https://t.co/WtLXE8r55h

getting a few days paid vacation for calling someone a bitch ass motherfucker... code cracked

love the crowd noise on that Lakers L

Timberwolves star Karl-Anthony Towns is expected to miss several weeks with his calf strain, sources tell me and @JonKrawczynski. Great news: Tests showed no structural damage to Towns’ Achilles.

glad it's not the achilles but this is...less than ideal at this point in the season

how they play with gobert as the only center should be pretty instructive for the future of this team.

yep

lazebron

Every blown lead starts with laziness!

Against the Pacers, LeBron put together a string of lazy plays that turned a 17 point lead into a 7 point lead in less than 2 minutes.

Missing shots when you’re coming back from injury is one thing. This is completely controllable. pic.twitter.com/cQX9kBJgL6

hes old give him a break!

must be nice to be able to push all the blame to russ, too

pretty good game dubs got a real nice look there

luka +22 in a 3pt game this is like the young lebron cavs all over again

Incredible game. I think the refs called about 25 travels no joke

blazers really tossed this one straight into the trash can boo

Yah they did.

Really was a great play to get klay a wide open look

You take this shot every time. Brilliant play design from Steve Kerr using Jordan Poole as a screener for Klay with Steph screening his own man to prevent a switch. That was a good look, just didn't go in. pic.twitter.com/xsu7kjFhYN

refs are out of control

Haberstroh is on it

There was a whopping 10 travel calls in the GSW-DAL game last night. 6 in NYK-DET and another 3 in LAC-POR.

That's 6.3 per game. 5x last season's average, 4x this October's average.

A massive crackdown on travels all across the NBA ... 👁️🪬👁️ https://t.co/oXIZTeUmWj

luka doing the payola signal to the refs again

Textbook charge, yet Luka appears to be insinuating the refs are getting money to make calls against the home team pic.twitter.com/g6TPBm56F0

man that is so dumb just dont do it lol

i think he got fined for doing it against the suns in the playoffs last year?

breakdown of all the travels

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IV3okU3p4M

now call the carries

yeah im more interested in the carries than the happy feet

imo all carries and travels should be called att

imo all carries and travels should be called att

― micah, Wednesday, November 30, 2022 2:51 PM (two hours ago) bookmarkflaglink

the game might ever end. would probably be like 100+ calls per game

my god the british royals are at the celtics game who let this happen

i invited them sorry

lol hoping for a sideline scramble for a loose ball that just takes that row out

this is against the celtics roots (irish)

this is really sad to me and the bulls season and future outlook is pretty f'd

Billy Donovan on Lonzo Ball’s recovery ahead of today’s game: “It’s been really slow.”

Lonzo is not running, jumping or cutting and Billy says he’s not “anywhere close” to returning to contact. Billy adds that he “still has pain” although there have been improvements.

yeah not great

yeah bulls have fully fizzled out with this iteration of the team, they need to rebuild again

didnt realize vooch is expiring. yikes are they gonna pay him?
