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

Mavs missed their last 6 FTs and lost by 1 lmao

10-24 from the line! wtf

.730 on the season, Wilt's Warriors shot .640 so I guess they're not historically bad, but...

i don’t understand why luka is a low 70s guy from the line, he should really be a bit better than that

yeah doesnt make sense, his mediocre 3pt% stands to reason since he takes such tough shots but free throws are generally wide open attempts

feel like it might be something with his mental game. he's got this weird "I'm the only sentient person on the court" kinda vibe which causes him to act pretty strangely sometimes. I wonder if he just overthinks it

unwritten rules are for baseball

yeah its silly, especially since he was just putting on a show for the home crowd, or maybe he was trying to style on them idk i didnt watch the game, either way suns should just deal lol

the suns employ two big time shit talkers, they have no grounds here

Such a punk move to get mad at that. Zion’s been in the hospital for like 3 years and a lot of people were starting to suspect he’d just be another generational talent with bad knees and now the Pels are #1 in the West because of him, let him have his moment

everyone loves zion dunks and has no respect for the suns its just the way it is

They also had a very competitive playoff series just a few months ago so would be cool to get a nice little rivalry going

lmao good stuff

that dunk is cool he does the 360 ends up looking at the rim with it cocked all the way back then just slams it home, very nice

huh cj's shooting numbers are well below his usual so maybe they have room to get a bit better too

pels will win the nba playoffs

their big three have all missed time and or played bad and theyre still in 1st, tho in the west everyone is almost in first

btw big game tonight, everyone will be yelling

the key to the matchup is yelling

celtics will win because everyone brought the correct jersey

who can yell the loudest? tune in tonight on espn sports network to find out

cp3 busted

The FEDERAL BASKETBALL INVESTIGATORS are taking a bite out of crime one whistle at a time.

With you’re help, we will bring back pure basketball #zion #cp3 #suns #carry pic.twitter.com/Qy9B7BPKcN

Devin is killing it w these videos lmao.

heat lose at home to the spurs. make this season make sense

u must let go of your preconceptions to truly -watch- basketball

anyone can win any night this is the nba these are professionals you have to have mindset and be locked in

Any given… anyday

both teams look a lil sleepy so far maybe they were napping

napping the popular thing to do in "golden state"

klays killin em

*shot of dave chappelle and chris rock court side*

mark jackson: two geniuses straight up getting it done in the field of comedy all time

griffin just got kuminga real good with some old-man craftiness

nice to see blake playing well, i like him in this role

would be nice if he got up and contested some jumpers

smart-brogdon-brown-tatum w/ any of boston’s bigs is such a good line up

xp yeah that doesn't seem like it's going to happen but it's nice, they've gotten a little bit out of him and he seems like he's happy. he had one interview where he was basically like this is good, there are no assholes on this team.

celtics very lucky to get out of that half down by single digits not sure how they did it

blake and kornet in the drop was killing them not sure what mazzulla was thinking thats the #1 no against the warriors

missing horf for sure, fortunately they can play grant at the five in this matchup

celtics got no pop tonight

they're playing ok but curry and thompson have been the show

they cant hit a shot, let back to back leak outs go, dying on screens and so forth

yeah the leakouts were bad

throwing passes into feet on the break

lol montage of marcus trying to explain how to play drop against the warriors

i like kuminga and dante getting bench minutes for the warriors

they can match up with boston’s all switchable line ups with those guys out there

Yeah the bench is working itself out. Having Donte out to start the season really hurt them. Kumingas been coming on the last couple weeks.

another good pelicans suns game, cp3 kicked his legs out on 3 in ot and was ready to tie it up but the pelicans still had their challenge and ran away with it from there
