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

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

perfect

The FBI has began a convo with the nba. We are looking to move Chris Paul over to UFC before he ruins basketball.

Love when plays like that work

rockets beat the bucks 97-92 wth

i foresaw this

big fan of this season tbf.

rockets 5-5 in their last ten after 3-13 start with wins over bucks, 76ers, suns, okc, atl

Cade out for the season

the rockets keep getting those upset wins, but they're very inconsistent

thats kinda what you want to see from a young team.

yeah shd be an indicator that theres talent

how many of those rockets wins hold up to scrutiny? i.e. not a back to back for the opponent, full line ups being played etc i know middleton got hurt 5 mins into the game the other night

refs are out of control

luka clapped and yelled at dwight powell "cmon man lets go" and the refs gave him a T and told him to respect the game that memo is wild.

lol what is going on this year it's really something else

maybe the refs should try "chilling out"

league pass alert dame is 10/13 from 3 halfway through the third

11 now. Going for klays record

corny moves

it's not great

lame as hell

bad, can't see these sticking. also 'clutch' is far too nebulous a concept to have an award for

might as well make a 'best locker room presence' trophy at that point

they should’ve named the clutch award after james harden

jerry west already has the logo when will he be satisfied

when Max Borenstein agrees to a fist fight

"clutch player" is a terrible award
